Forests Could Furnish Another
$550,000 For Montana Counties

County governments in Montana
are losing $550,0OO annually and the
state is losing $40 million payroll
because the timber cut from national
forests in Montana is only about
two thirds of what could and should
be harvested, according to Senators
Murray and Mansfield and Repre-
sentatives Metcalf and Anderson.
Total loss to government from this
waste of Montana forest resources is
approximately $2.2 million annually,
they said. Twenty-Five per cent of
the revenue from sale of national
forest timber goes to the counties
in which the forest is located, and is
earmarked for local schools and roads.
All counties in a forest share the
revenue according to the per cent of
the forest acreage in each county.
The timber need not be cut in the
county or even the state in order for
the county to share the revenue. Four
national forests, Bitterroot, Kaniksu,
Kootenai and Lolo, cover parts of
both Montana and Idaho.
The Montana delegation said that
hearings to be held in Missoula on
December IA by Senator Albert Gore
(D-Tenn.) and his Roads subcommit-
tee of the Senate Committee on Pub
lie Works, should provide Congress
and the Executive branch with USE
full information on how lack of tim
ber access roads prevents full utili-
zation of timber resources. The sub
committee will consider S 1876, CO.
sponsored by Senators Murray and
Mansfield and a companion to Rep
resentative Metcalf's HR 1892, which
would provide for construction of
additional timber access roads. Per-
sons wishing to testify should contact
Senator Gore or member of the
Montana congressional delegation.
The greatest losses, according to
the delegation, are on the following
national forests:
The people's voice., 1957-12-06

national forest land, and of this
amount 8.9 million acres are COM
mercial forests. Average cut on this
commercial timber has been 600 mil
lion board feet or 81 board feet per
acre per year.
Average value of timber cut was
$6.95 per thousand board feet last
year. This means an income of 46
cents per acre, of which II n cents
goes to the county.
If the full cut, which is equal to
100 board feet per acre per year,
were made, at current prices income
would increase to 691a cents per
acre, of which the counties one-fourth
share would be 171a cents. Thus for
every 100000 acres of commercial
forest land cut in national forests
there would be an increase of $4,000
in county revenue.

Access Roads Hearing
To Be Held In
MissouIa, Dec. IA

Public hearings on
forest access roads and forest high
ways will be held in Missoula Decem-
Der Ia. The hearing will be conducted
by roads subcommittee of the Senate
Public Works Committee, Montana
District Council, LSW-UBC&J, has
been advised.
Robert c.. Weller, executive secre-
tary of the council, has been informed
by Congressman Lee Metcalf that the
committee has scheduled time for ap-
pearance before it of representative
of the district Lumber and Sawmill
Workers.
Sen. Albert Gore, chairman of the
subcommittee, advised Senator Muir
ray and Sen. Mansfield and Congress
man Metcalf of the hearing which
will consider Senate Bill 1876, to
expand timber access road construc-
ton. The bill is co-sponsored by Sen
ators Murray and Mansfield; Morse
and Neuberger of Oregon and Magnu-
son and Jackson of Washington.
Gore said purpose of the hearings
is to afford the people of the area an
opportunity to tell Congress what
must be done to develop forest roads
in order that public forests of the
west can contribute most effectively
to the continued growth of the ma
tion.
'These hearings afford an excellent
opportunity to push forward the ex-
pansion of Montana's forest and rec
reational programs" said Gore, who
is chairman of the subcommittee.

held in an auditorium of Montana

Montana has hydroelectric po-
tential of about 6.6 million kilo-
watts of which about 1870 is har-
messed while the remaining 900
runs wastefully to the sea, causing
flood damage along the way.
With it's 1,008,OOO kilowatt poten-
tial Paradise Dam represents one
sixth of Montana's future new power
supply 1t can produce as much power
as the whole state uses today. Thus
it can double the electric power econ

Yellowstone River Development
Plan Contemplated By Interior

say a possible site was found near
Emigrant, south of Livingston, where
approximately 100000 acre-feet of
storage could be provided, but at the
time it was reviewed the site was
found to me impractical.
The Corps, referring to the 1908"
report, points out that report included
studies of numerous potential power
projects, many of which would also
serve flood control and other pur-
poses.
Two of the sites studied and in
cluded in the 308 report were the
Yankee Jim and Lower Canyon sites
on the Yellowstone River above Liv-
ingston where it was estimated that
a total of useful storage of about
/, 100000 acre-feet could be pro-
vided, with an installed capacity of
100000 kilowatts of power.

represented by Les Colby of Missoula.
Our duty has been to advise General
Foote on the desirable revision of the
master plan for Columbia River de-
velopment.
From the very start the Army sub
mitted schedule which omitted Para
disc, Nez Perce, Hells Canyon and
others. 1 protested. Finally on De-
cember 7, 1856, our agenda listed
the question: Should Paradise be re-
considered. 1 said yes. Mr.. Colby
shook his head.
Mr.. Colby reviewed all the past ar
guments against it for about 10 min
utes. Then it was my turn to reply and
I said briefly, LES, agree with every
thing you have said. What you are
saying is that we must come up with
the best dam bill that has ever been
written, and that is what we intend
to do"

cote on December goth announced
that the Army would reconsider Para

COuTC decisions.
DR.. Knappen said, regardless of the
theory on which rates are based the
utility needed only so many dollars,
and as opponents witness he was sub
mitting for Commission consideration
a rate of return based on actual dollar
needs, rather than an assumed" set
of figures such as were used by the
telephone company. He said it is,
dangerous to try and substitute
guesses guessing games can re-
suit in poor prophecy. He added
there should be no return on "phan-
tom investments. ''If the utility re-
ceives the number of dollars they
need it is not necessary to compute
theoretical percentage increases, he
said.
The Washington, D. c.; economist
told Hansen the "fair value' consid-
Grafton did not necessarily eliminate
consideration of the dollar needs of
a utility. He said he has been hired
by the City of Chicago to appear
against utility increase application
there. He pointed out Illinois is
so-called "fair value" state, and the
attorney for the City of Chicago had
full knowledge of how he figured the
rate consumers should pay for their
utilities.
Mountain States doesn't need any
more money to stay in the Blue Chip
field" he said.
Knappen had pointed out many
times what he called the '1uxur-
ious expensive capital structure"

The delegation said that national

about 900 million board feet of
timber on a prudent sustained yield
basis, but are only supplying 600
million board feet. Proper harvest,
they said, would prevent waste of
a valuable resource in addition to
providing additional revenue for
all levels of government.
They emphasized that this increased
cut can be made without going into
any wilderness area.

of the Bureau and other federal and

''The irrigated areas along the Yel-

says the Bureau, "provide feed and
cash crop bases for extensive aeras
of grazing lands between the stream

rigation is needed, but water supplies
on the tributaries, and to lesser
extent on the main stream, will not
be adequate for the anticipated ex-
