Forest Service May Condemn Hells Canyon
The U S Forest Service proposes condemnation to acquire 12000 acres in Hells Canyon after landowners rejected updated appraisal offers. Merle Hofferber said valuation disputes will likely be settled in court with Secretary Earl Butz to decide on proceeding. Congress funded 4 million for acquisition to preserve the wild character for addition to the Wallowa Whitman National Forest near the Oregon Idaho line. The land was valued at 165 dollars per acre by Elmer Kolberg, but the five major landowners refused the offer and a new appraisal followed.
