Most of the timber and mill jobs were lost to productivity gains - mechanization, computer assisted mills.  More were lost to the big recession and housing market collapse.  Most of those jobs won't come back.  Two days ago I watched a man drive his log truck into a recent clear-cut unit cleared by one man operating a faller-buncher.  He hitched his trailer, then he got out, started up a shovel loader, loaded his trailer, and drove off.  One man!  Your appealing to jobs is nothing but BS.  The only persons profiting from sale of the Elliott will be top management and stockholders in Seneca Jones and Scott Timber.  

Who would lose?  All citizens of Oregon would lose their birthright ownership of access to. and profit from, that public land.  Never sell your birthright!  That's what my grandmother told my dad, and he subsequently told me.  Yet you sink to calling a man a "hypocrite" for pointing out a hunting benefit while himself foreswearing hunting.  You should be ashamed.
