Mr. Ole May

California Lumber Merchant

Dear OIe,

I can't tell you how much we appreciated the very fine writeup you gave us in the May issue. The only fault I can find is in the second paragraph where immediately following your mention of our having been appointed distributors for American Walnut ComPanY You say: "their broad territory wiII include states west of the Mis sissippi, plus several states east of the river and will include a number of Canadian Provinces."

It is true that this is the territory we cover in conjunction with our Import Species, but the territory assigned to us bY American Walnut Co. is limited to the West Coast on an exclusive basis, but with the right to sell on a non-exclusive basis in the other eight Western States.

I just returned from a very encouraging trip to the northwest where my primary objective was to discuss Walnut with distributors in Vancouver, Seattle and Portland. My visit coincided almost exactly with the publishing of the May issue and really gave me something to talk about.

Sincerely,

W. A. "BilI" Howe Vice-president Mahogany Importing Co. So, Pasadena, Calif.

Secretory Freemqn Procloims Selwoy-Bitlerroot Wilderness

The Nation's largest proclaimed S'ilderness Area was estabIished in the National Forest System on January 11, 1963.

An S0-mile-long stretch of wild mountain country along the Bitterroot Divide between Idaho and Montana and some 45 miles of the free flowing Selway River have been formally changed {rom Primitive Area to W'ilderness Area, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman announced.

"After thorough review of the recommendations submritted by this Department's Forest Service, I have proclaimed a major part o{ the former Primitive Area alone the Bitterroot Divide the new Bitterroot Wilderness Area." the Secretary said. "This new Wilderness Area, comprising 1,239,800 acres in four National Forests in Idaho and Montana, is the largest formally proclaimed Wilderness Area in the National Forest System."

The original area, classified as Primitive since 1936, involved a total acreage o{ 1,875,306, which had been laid out urrder the less exacting requirements for Primitive Areas. For example, Some o{ the former Primitive Area had roads. Other parts had sites suitable and currently needed for water impouniments, future developed recreation areas and for timber harvesting. Roughly. a net 418,500 acres was declassified and put under regular multiple-use management. An additional 216,870 acres has been retained in primitive status pending further study.

When an area is designated a wilderness, no permanent roads may be present or built into it, nor is motorized transportation permitted. Timber cutting and other commercial uses, except al. ready established grazing of livestock, are not allowed. There is extensive management to control grazing of pack stock, to provide trails, fire and pest protection, and supervision of choice camping sites. Such measures are necessary to keep wilderness in its natural state.

Located in the Lolo, Bitterroot, Clearwater, and Nezperce National Forests, the new Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area encompasses the crest of the Bitterroot mountains for about B0 miles, a 4S-mile section of the Selway River, the Selway River Canyon, many mountain lakes, and much wild, forested country.

The area forms the summer range for one of the largest elk herds in the United States and is extensively used for big game hunting. It is also valuable for water production, and there is some mineral potential, the extent of which is presently unknown. Should these mineral values become important, they can be developed under provisions of the U. S. mining laws.

The decision provides that some 44,000 acres on the slope of the Lochsa River is to be managed with recognition oI recreation as the 'okey value." This portion was not included in the wilderness area because parts of it will be needed for future developed camping spots and pack facilities.

If you're tired of taking care of lawn in out of the way corners of the yard, why not install a raised wood deck? Douglas fir makes good, durable decks which are ideal for loafing and play, and you don't have to mow them.

The lumber industry is the nation's third largest, and employs more than I.5 million people to manufacture, process, grow, sell and use lumber and forest products.

Flotcor Shipment of G-P Plywood Arrives in L.A.

These photos show Georgia-Pacific's first shipment of plywood by flatcar into the Los Angeles area. Receiving the shipment was Rossman Mill & Lumber who reported it a complete success and noted that there was no damage or slippage. Pictured at the spur on arrival, from left, are L. M. "Jack" Samper, assistant warehouse manager G-P distribution facility, Pico Rivera; A. L. "Tony" Fieger, purchasing agent, Rossman Mill & Lumber and Jack McCreary, order desk manager G-P, Pico Rivera who inspected the cargo upon arrival.

This method of shipping provides an ideal way for yards that do not have fully built unloading docks and ramps. It permits fast, easy handling by mobile equipment and yard personnel. Outside yard and jobsite storage utilizing the original waterproof wrapping is another advantage oI this paekaging.
