Temporary Timber Compronrise

With a long term solution still to come, forest industry spokesmen welcomed the interim compromise reached by Congress on the Pacific Northwest's timber supply crisis.

"lt's a very tenuous solution," John Hampton of Willamina Lumber Co., chairman of the Northwest Forest Resource Council, said. "The environmentalists got everything they asked for in the way of safeguards for the spotted owl and for old-growth timber, It's up to them now to make a good-faith effort to see that the agreement is implemented."

Bill Shields of Willamette Industries, chairman of the American Forest Resource Alliance, paid tribute to what he called the "Herculean effort by the Northwest's congressional delegation to hammer out a compromise acceptable to both houses of Congress." He said much credit should go to the thousands of Oregonians and Washingtonians in timber dependant communities who worked hard to make their voices heard.

"The delegation had difficult

The Merchant Magazine choices to make in trying to satisfy the concerns of all sides," Shields said. "ln the negotiations, the preservationists tried to impose terms so harsh that they would have literally shut down many of the region's timber dependent communities."

"At the very least, the debate in Congress has awakened a greater awareness of the importance of this region's timber resource in supplying the long term wood products needs of our nation," Hampton said. "At a time when the American dream of affordable housing is becoming more remote, Congress must somehow assure this region a secure supply of federal timber for building homes for a future generation of Americans."

Pointing to the fact that the national forests hold half of the nation's softwood timber supply, he said after the Sept. 29 vote, "it is time to get common sense and reason back into the way the federal lands are managed."

Yard Burglarized 3 Times

A selective thief who takes only "very expensive" oak boards is being sought for a recent string of robberies at Chula Lumber, National City, Ca.

During a six-week period in June and July, Chula Lumber was burglarized three times under identical circumstances, according to the StarNews. The culprit used his dual-tired truck and a chain to pull a heavy gate beam to one side, drove into the yard and loaded a certain amount of the same choice lumber.

About $2,500 to $5,000 in wholesale lumber has thus far been stolen.

Chula Lumber operators suspect the thief was surprised in his latest robbery, since he left behind a portion of his load and his flatbed truck's removable wooden sidegate. Since the July 14 burglary, no further incidents have been reported.

Sequoia Adds Peachtree Line

Earthquake

p.m., driver George Donovan first saw the freeway before him buckle. He and his rig dropped 25 feet to the level below, the truck landing on its windshield. The tractor broke into three pieces, bursting the gas tanks and causing the battery to explode.

Despite hand and face cuts and two fractured vertebrae in his back, Donovan freed himself, grabbed the fire extinguisher and started to put out the fire. When his extinguisher went dry, he borrowed one from another truck and finished dousing the blaze.

Ignoring his injuries, he worked diligently helping others escape their vehicles and administering first aid. Ordered off the damaged structure by the California Highway Patrol, Donovan hitchhiked back to White Brothers' nearby yard to see what else he could do to help. He didn't go to the hospital until the next morn- ing, and he is recovering satisfactorily.

Says White Brothers'owner Don White Jr., admiringly, "We're talking about a Medal of Honor-quality individual here."

Many firms reported only a short surge in business, as residents scrambled for plywood to patch shattered homes before a storm moved in the following weekend. "We were busy the first couple of days, especially with plywood," says Mike Butcher. San Lorenzo Lumber Co. "We went through all our batteries and flashlights, and sold out all our generators in the first 20 minutes."

Businesses expect to feel the demand for long term repairs in the coming months.

For now, the most widespread effect is traffic with main transportation arteries impassable due to buckling or collapse. "We have to find out which roads are open, reroute our shipments and avoid rush hours. It all, of course, increases time and cost," said Joe Casella, Casella Transportation, San Leandro.
