Originally publishedin november 1986

We get all these great toolsthat use time better. a fasteryarder, more horsepower in thetrucks, more cubes in the chainsaw. they all help us get moredone in our day of work —- butthe time goes by at the samerate. a day of work takes aslong as it ever did.

During my time of working inthe woods, working with loggers,and visiting and interviewingloggers i’ve seen many many ofthem make a success of theirbusiness. those that made asuccess did it with all differentkinds of machinery, crews andmethods did not make it andwere forced out.

all of the successful ones hadone thing in common. they usedthe time they had to their bestability. there are many otherthings than this needed to makea success of anything. but onething is that the people who ac-complish great things knowabout managing time.

When we think of tools fortime management we think ofnotebooks, special books, secre-

taries that keep track of appoint-ments, makes our phone callsand so on and so forth.

i had a cousin one time that iworked with. he said manygood things. Walton Leslie wasa self educated man. We did notagree on many things becausewe were almost exact opposites.We liked each other but we didnot work all that well together—- although we tried severaltimes.

i found out then that if youmust work with someone thatyou cannot agree with as to pro-cedure and method you can stillmake it come out alright if oneperson is in charge. if you can’tget your way do it his way. thenat least something will get done—- and surprise of surprisesyou’ll learn something.

i was for buying everythingthat would speed up the job. if ididn’t have the money i’d gladlyfinance the tool or equipment.Walton wouldn’t buy anythingthat he couldn’t pay cash for —-not anything. i, on the otherhand, always had more outgothan income.

Walton got as much pleasureand accomplishment by doing

without as i got in ‘getting’.

one time he told me: “youwant to buy a buzz saw so youcan cut the annual 10 cords ofwood faster. before you do thatyou figure out the cost, howmany days a year you’ll be usingthe buzz saw, how much you canhire one for each year and whatother ways are there to get yourwood cut.” you know —- i’venever bought a buzz saw.

We have a bottle neck at ourbusiness. We haul our printedpapers home from the printer,put the different sections togeth-er, address them, sort them, putthem into bags and haul over aton of these papers to the post of-fice for you twice a month. oncefor Loggers World and once forLog trucker.

We don’t have any tools, notmuch anyway, to load and un-load these truck loads of paper.We don’t have a loading/unload-ing dock. We don’t have fork-lifts. We do it all like we used tobuck logs in the thirties, by mus-cle, by hand. We do have handcarts.

We have talked of overhaulingthe building. of building loadingdocks and acquiring a fork lift.of hunting down, buying and us-ing all the tools we can.

the cost is horrible. terrifi-cally high. it gets complicated.get a fork-lift? that means stor-age, service and someone to runand maintain it. build a newstorage building? cost over$10,000.00 and that won’t beenough.

time used now in this job?about 8 hours a month for one

man. timewe couldsave? about4 hours amonth for oneman.

that putsit in perspec-tive doesn’tit? We don’tmake this decision by measuringonly money. Most of the basis ofmaking this decision is con-cerned with time. time spent onthe job? time that could besaved by a large investment?those are the two main ques-tions. if the time saved does notequal the interest on the invest-ment —- forget it. the cost istoo high, the saving of time toolow.

so we keep on loading and un-loading by hand. randy apper-son does most of this and hetreats it like training. he does itwell, he does it quickly and hetakes the place of a fork-lift.We’d a whole lot rather haverandy around here than a fork-lift and we need to keep himbusy anyhow.

time is a factor in many deci-sions. i like the story about the61 year old lady who was goingto college. her friends tried totalk her out of it. one of theirarguments was, “Mabel you arenow 61 years old. you are start-ing four years of college. Whenyou get out you’ll be 65 yearsold.” Mabel said, “Well in fouryears i’m going to be 65 yearsold anyway, so i’m going to col-

HAROLD GLAZIER operatesNewton’s new John Deere648H grapple skidder, seenhere dropping a turn into thelanding. “This was new lastyear, a nice machine, very ef-ficient. It’s improved every-thing, works good in themountains, and very good onfuel. The dual arch configura-tion works good, you canthrow your balance back andforth a lot better in the steepground, and when you’reclimbing you can tuck it upthrow your weight towardsthe front of the machine; itmakes quite a difference.”

Running through generations, Newton Logging has adjusted with the times

by mike crouse

Preparation, good quality,and planning ahead haveproven to be both a winningformula and a tradition fornewton Logging since thecompany was formed bycharlie newton in 1961.

that’s evident in today’soperation, owned by sonMike newton two years ago,in the teaching, practical ap-plication and working to-gether that gave a smoothand essentially seamlesschange in ownership.

Logging started for new-ton on his father’s ranch,which they’d log from aswell.

time is involved with everydream, goal, accomplishment.We who try to use time wiselynever perfectly succeed at it. ifwe get too involved in it we be-come nuts. time nuts —- wedasn’t let that happen. We canget better —- we can’t becomeperfect.

We need to plan in order touse time wisely but we can’t getcaught in the trap of being aslave to our plans. that is asfoolish and as wasteful as not

having any plans.

any planning involving time,and all plans involve time, mustbe flexible. We need to plan forall of our living activities.

that’s why the title of thebook ‘stratEgy For LiVing’is so on the mark.

Living is what it is all about.

HAROLD GLAZIER (left) hasbeen logging the past 35years, “…or something likethat,” he said, adding thathe’s a third generation logger,and lives in Kalispell. “I’vebeen with these guys fouryears, but I have a ranch, myown little logging outfit, andthey stay busy.” They’re skid-ding 500 yards on this site.“We tried to keep everything out of this draw.”

MIKE NEWTON (right)bought Newton Logging twoyears ago, and is seen on thesteps of his office the Dae-woo 220LL Solar shovel log-ger with Pierce boom andgrapple. “I have anotherloader a little newer than thisbut I run the older,” he ex-plained. “We have five guyson the site, using threetrucks, about seven loads aday with nine or 10 sorts fordifferent species and sizes.”

NEWTON LOGGING’S Cat 525 grapple skidder is an older and stillvery productive machine being operated by Cole Stinger. They wereskidding about 400-600 yards on this setting. One innovative approachNewton adopted when skidding behind their feller buncher is usingtheir older Timbco 445 with an Esco 120 grapple attached on theboom to skid down sleep ground. “We wanted something that wouldclimb the hills the Timbco was climbing,” Newton explained. They’llbunch and skid logs down to where the skidder or track machines cantake the turn without having to scale the steep ground. They use avideo cam and LCD screen to see where they’re going inside the cab asit backs the turns downhill. It’s proven to be a very useful innovationover the past four years.

DOUG CAREY, Carey Trucking is one of three key truckers used by Newton Logging,and is seen here taking a full load off the Newton landing with his Kenworth W900Alog truck hauling an ’89 Fruehauf tailer. “I just turned three million miles this year,”Carey explained adding, “and just put in a new Cummins 444 in this year as well.”He’s purchased this truck new in ’77 right out of high school. He explained his truck’s“name” is Clod, and how the name came to be. “I grew up with my grandparentsworking in the shop and was working on him (the truck). I was swearing and mygrandmother came up and told me it would be better if I weren’t swearing, ‘…better ifyou called it something else like dirt,’ so it’s been Clod ever since has been his name.”

tune,” said newton, and added,“…an old wore-out Ford trucktoo that we loaded with an a-Frame.” then found a cosignerand started buying salvage salesfrom the government.” it was a

two-man crew, and away theywent.

in 1967 he bought, “…one ofthe early rubber-tired skiddersin this part of the country, andwent to work contract skiddingfor Fred King,” then a fewmonths later bought a secondskidder as well. that worked

well enough for a few years,when he again broke out on hisown in ‘69 and “…went back tobuying sales on my own again. itwas better to do my own thing.”

the company grew graduallyaveraging a five-man crew forthe next decade plus, with wifeDorothy taking care of the books

the entire time using computersand adding Quickbooks to themix about 20 years ago.

Next geNeratioNMike newton’s first job in the

woods began the summer he was12. “i was a little guy, (and) it

was a one-manshow,” he ex-plained. “i’d go out(with dad) in themornings and helphim tip trees. hewas sawing byhand (using a Pio-neer P41).”

the tool he usedto “tip” the treewas, “… like anaxe handle at-tached to a piece ofmetal. you slid inbehind the saw cut(instead of awedge) and tippedthe tree (typicallylodge pole) over.”

the secondsummer, “i was achoker setter be-hind a D6,” he not-ed with a smile.

in his third yearhe graduated torunning a skidder.“back then at 14you could get adriver’s license inMontana then (andwith that he couldoperate the skid-ders). i knew whati was doing bythen.”

his first skidderwas a, “… 21agarrett with a 3-cylinder diesel en-gine (which theystill have, thoughits in a place ofhonor, parked be-hind his house).

“it was a linemachine withchokers.” he waspart of the four-man crew that in-cluded two sawyersand two skidderoperators.

by the summer he was 16,newman explained, “…dad gaveme a raise (from $6/hour) to$9/hour… that was big money,”he noted. “Dad said i was produc-ing as much as the other guys so

he brought me up to their rate aswell.”

Much of that money newmanaccumulated over the next fewyears, adding, “i used some ofthat money i’d saved at 16, tobuy my first house when i wasfirst married, and i still havesome of that money now.”

by the time he’d graduatedfrom Lincoln high county school

in ’84, “…i’d learned to run all ofthe machinery.” it was clear toMike he wanted to be a logger, heexplained saying, “…it kind ofgot in my blood from workingsummers. Dad had said if youwant to run equipment you needto learn how to work on it, so ifigured out how to work on it,”which led to his enrolling atnorthern Montana college in

havre,” enrolling in their dieseltechnology program, “…reallystudying to be a mechanic.”

at the end of that first year,Mike explained, “i decided thatwasn’t my thing, and dad’s wasgrowing. i couldn’t wait to getback into logging.”

ALAN BRYSON has been Newton Logging’s feller buncheroperator the past 11 years, seen here on their Timbco 445Cwith HS400 (made by Equipment Repair) hot saw cutting.This is their spare feller buncher, typically he’d cut with theirTimbco 445XL but it’s hot saw was waiting for parts, so theywere using the spare. The 445C is also used for skiddingtrees down steep hills when they use an Esco 120 grapple onthe boom, bunch the wood and skid it off the steep slopesfor the skidder or crawler for the longer skid to the landing.

ALAN BRYSON (right) started logging“…43-45 years ago,” he said, “and I’ve beenin feller bunchers 31 years,” the first onebeing a Timberjack 2618, with Serial No.13. He’s run five feller bunchers total, all inWestern Montana.

lege in 1985, i stepped right inas a key part of the productionat that time,” newton said. “atthat time the crew of six in-cluded dad and me, (dad inloader, Mike on skidder, an-other skidder operator, andthree sawyers. Dad always ranthe loader.”

aUtomatioNnewton Logging were early

adopters into grapple skiddersabout and shifting towards au-tomating for a few years bythat point.. “i’d skidded with aswing grapple machine behindthe sawyers for several years,”newton explained.

the real leap in productioncame with their purchased of atimbco 430 hydro-buncherwith timbco bar saw around1990. “it was a major invest-ment for dad,“ newton ex-plained, “costing $200,000… ahuge step.”

“the most influential per-son in making that success-ful,” said charlie newton,“was rex svoboda (who wasthe timbco dealer and ownedEquipment repair). i’d lookedat the machine at the inter-mountain Logging confer-ence,” and met Pat crawford(who owned timbco at thetime) who was there with thisnew machine. he was a goodsalesman, and very honest,”but svoboda’s support aftersales made the difference. “hebabysat those machines… callhim at any hour of any day. ifhe wasn’t elsewhere he’d be atour machine in a matter ofhours. he was well aware ithad to work if we were goingto pay for it.”

We were working forowens and hurst at the timeand had the opportunity tomove a lot more wood.” andwhile it was (big risk), he fig-ured he had to grow,” and itwas reassuring knowing sonMike was committed long termto the business as well. “andwhile you never really knowexactly what’s in front of you,”Mike explained, “there was alot going on, so it was a goodopportunity. it turned out tobe a very good move.”

who’d had a lot experiencerunning a case 1187, to runthe new timbco. “it was an-other good move,” newtonsaid. the leap in production,from hand falling to automa-tion with the timbco washuge!

a year later, newton addeda Denis monoboom stroke de-

limber, to keep up with the woodthey were moving. they wererunning a five to six man crew,producing quality logs, and run-ning very efficiently.

big movein 1995, newton had the op-

portunity to log for Plum creek.“i’d been contracting for owensand hurst,” and was a “favoredlogger” for them, “… but i felt abetter future with Plum creek.”Mike newton added, “… dadasked my opinion, we talked atthe time. We were still in Eure-ka and if we went to work forPlum creek we’d be in the Flat-head logging. When we didthat we were going to movethere and be home more of thetime.” they made the change toPlum creek. “Working for Plumcreek was the bigger, wiser de-cision,” Mike said. “a few yearslater (5-6 years), when owensand hurst left, we were in avery good position.” changingwhen they did, “…happened atthe right time.” the relationshipcontinues to work extraordinari-ly well some 20 years later.

LearNiNg tHebUsiNess

the idea of an eventual tran-sition in ownership had beentalked about for years, “…kindof always the plan, though nodate was set,” yet learning thebusiness side of logging was anessential to success, and some-thing the younger newton hadto know to be a successful busi-nessman. Knowing the crew,how to lead, how to log are pre-requisite, but understanding thebusiness end is critical.

“i started negotiating con-tracts about 12 years ago,” Mikesaid, adding, “…it was not a jobi liked, but dad pushed me intothat. i’ll give dad credit for that,too. he knew if i was going to besuccessful it was something ihad to learn, so he shoved me atit.”

it was not always a fun pro-cess, newton explained. “i madesome mistakes, and he’d askedwhy i did that, and what myreasoning was. in hind sight iknow now, that he did the verybest he could do for me, to giveme some of that hard knocks ed-ucation.”

all this was in real time aswell. “i did the negotiating yet itwas still his business. if iscrewed up i still made mywages, i still had the big net un-der me, but that never cost memoney directly,” newton said.“that was a huge advantage forme when i bought him out. iwas able to hit the ground run-ning.”

smaLLer WooDaround 2006, the trend towards

working in smaller wood, en-couraged newton’s changingfrom a stroke delimber to danglehead processors. “Dad felt wecould get better quality with thedangle head, and run the woodthrough faster. that was part ofthe trend and Plum creekthought we could get better uti-lization as well,” Mike recalled.they purchased a Doosan exca-vator adding a LogMax 7000processor, which has 18,000hours on it. “it’s treated us pret-

ty good,” said Mike. it’s been agood head. We work on it butthe head’s made an awful lot oflogs.”this month they’re updating toa Waratah 622c dangle headand mounting it on a “…225Doosan, with a log loader boomand a high cab. that keeps youaway from the dirt and dust youget in an excavator cab,” said

newton. “guys who have them suggestit will work a lot better for what iwant to do with it.”

more iNNovatioNa few years before changing owner-

ship, charlie newton felt a practicalsolution to skidding logs on steepground was needed. “We wanted some-thing that would climb the same hillsthe timbco was climbing,” said Mikenewton. “We may only skid the logs150-200 ft., and you can take theground straight up and skid to theflatter ground for the skidders. ithelped bunch the logs a bit as well.”

What about visibility while backingdown the hill? Easy: mount a small tvcamera to the back of the cab, and amonitor inside the front of the cab!they put it in action about four yearsago and it’s worked like a charm. theside benefit is that timbco can quicklybe put in service cutting timber withsome quick changing. nice solution,minimal cost.

toDay’s comPaNynewton Logging has remained at

its current size of five for many years,and Mike newton was quick to note,“we wouldn’t be in this spot if i didn’thave the exceptional crew, the heartand soul of any business. Withoutthem i couldn’t do it.”

he’s gradually updating and replac-ing iron, as they’ve always done. ironincludes:

• timbco: 2004 timbco 445 ExLwith a Pierce 22” hot saw

• timbco 445c, a ’97 machine,which they the can mount the grappleor hot saw on. it has an hs400 hotsaw from Equipment repair, inc., ahead they’d made. its’ been prettytough,” newton added.

• 220 Daewoo shovel made in’98with a Pierce grapple and boom (justbefore Daewoo started building theirown grapple and boom. it has 16,000hours on it.

• a second 225 Doosan shovel log-ger, “i think it’s an ’04 or ’06 and has14,000 hours on it,” said Mike.

• and the processor: a 225 Doosanwith a LogMax 7000. “if every ma-chine would do what that has donewe’d be pretty happy. it’s being re-placed by a 225 Doosan, a big biggermachine, more horse power, oil flow,and a bit heavier with the Waratah622c dangle head processor.

“typically the job runs for a five-day week,” newton explained.” i splitthe crew, my guys work 50 hours a

week, but they do that in four days. ihave some guys work Mondays andtake Fridays off, and others take Mon-day off and are there through Friday.i’m the five day a week man, and doall i can do to keep logs moving, espe-cially four days a week when we’recamping,” as they were when wecaught them.

“We cover health insurance for ourguys,” although expenses and changesin the law have occurred, they’veflexed. “My wife figured out the oba-ma medical plan and we have a rea-sonable account for our guys. it’s a mixof major medical plan and a healthsavings account that’s affordable. Wetry to do the best we can to take careof our crew.”

“i have three trucks on the job,”newton explained. Joe Peletier, Peleti-er trucking out of Eureka, is our pri-mary trucker; Doug carey, careytrucking , out of Kalispell, and robertMartin, Martin Logging, has ninetrucks, and i keep one of his truckssteady too, and if i have extra wood tohaul he’ll provide a fourth truck aswell. those truckers are some of thebest in the business. they come and dotheir job and are fun to be around.”

a key to the business is Mike’s wifenettie, who also runs the books. he’sknown her since high school, andthey’ve been married the past threeyears. “things change,” said newtonwith a smile, “so i’m a lucky guy. get-ting married to a good friend is kind ofan interesting deal. it’s been reallygood.” between them they have fourgrown offspring, “…and six grand-kids.”

in the two years since he boughtthe business, newton smiled in saying,“being a business owner has been agood experience to me because i havegood guys around me.”

he summed it up saying, “a fewyears ago, when i bought dad out, iknew what i was doing.

he educated me on what i needed todo to make things successful,” not onlythrough knowing how to work, andhow to log, but in the practical busi-ness side of logging as well.

“My success right now,” he saidwith a wry grin then added, “rather iliked it then or not. he taught mewhat i needed to know to make it asuccess.”

“i’ve had a really good employer,with Plum creek,” newton said.“We’re doing a lot of commercial thin-ning. i think the future’s bright. ourmachinery is up to date. and i thinkstaying the size we are and healthywith machinery and crew, i think it’s adoable thing.”

In the early 1960’s, hydraulic loaders were being developed. Mounted on an Internationaltruck, this is a first generation rig at work. Before this, some PTO driven cable machineshad been around, but hydraulics truly revolutionized the industry. The hydraulic grapplewas raised and lowered by a hydraulic winch. The Columbus Day windstorm in 1962 blewdown billions of board feet of timber, from California to British Columbia. The salvage ef-forts put the self-loading log truck industry into motion. If anyone out there knows who

made this unit, I’d like to hear from you. I have some ideas, but without knowing I am not going to speculate.

I had to throw this one in for fun. For those of you who know me, you now that I like to have a sip of good whiskey now and then. What’s that got to do withthis picture? Well, it was taken at an old cooperage factory, and the little boards are “barrel staves.” They have been cut out of hardwood bolts, probably oak,and they need to season out. So, the rough cut blanks are stacked on edge to dry, and when ready they will be worked up into barrels or kegs. Kegs requiredshort, heavy boards, and that looks like what’s being done here. The old loggers loved whiskey, so maybe this old photo will gladden many a heart to thinkwood was put to such good use – whiskey kegs. Notice the different styles of clothes and hats in the picture. It shows a mixture of different European ethnicgroups, working together during America’s boom in European immigration.

Tahoe basin which provided the lumber, timbers andfuel wood for the famed “Comstock Lode,” centeredin Virginia City,Nevada. Billions of board feet ofsawed products and millions of cords of fuel woodwere hauled to Virginia City over the years, usuallyby the famous “Virginia and Truckee Railroad.”Wood products were also brought in by pack ani-mals. The Lake Tahoe basin was so heavily cut over that

the then new U.S. Forest Service believed it wouldnever grow back. However, in my collection, I havea 1920’s government report on that subject andguess what, it came back. Now the trees are so thickthat fires start right in town and race up the hillsides,making things interesting for those who live there.

the forest fire season is upon us.the absence of active manage-ment on federal forest lands forthe past two decades have left ourpublic forest lands full of exces-sive fuel. add to that the severedrought conditions in the westernstates and we have a tinder boxwaiting to explode as summernears.

but help might be on the waywith the introduction of the na-tional Forest Management im-provement act of 2015. the billwas released by the house natu-ral resources committee on May27 and will be the subject of ahearing on June 3 in the subcom-mittee on Federal Lands chairedby california congressman tomMcclintock.

the bill is intended to changethe course in how our nationalforests are managed. some of thehighlights include:

• Providing the Forest servicewith expanded authority to use

categorical Exclusions for tim-ber sales and other projects andreduce and streamline environ-mental analyses for restorationprojects developed by collabora-tive groups.

• give the agency authority toexpedite the salvage of timber af-ter wildfires and to reforest andrecover national forest lands af-fected by wildfires.

• require the posting of a bondby groups filing legal challenges

of projects that are the product ofcollaborative planning processes.

• adjusts the uses of secure ru-ral schools title ii funds to createself-sustaining local advisorycommittees by focusing 50% ofthe funds to timber managementprojects and to use the funds gen-erated by such projects for addi-tional work.

• Provides for sharing 25% ofthe revenues generated fromstewardship contracts with localcounties. currently, the proceedsfrom stewardship contracts arenot shared with local govern-ments

• creates a revolving fund al-lowing the Forest service to useup to 25% of the revenue fromstewardship contracts to planadditional projects and amendsthe collaborative Landscaperestoration act to allow thesefunds to be spent on planning ef-forts in addition to the implemen-tation of projects.

the bill also requires the Forestservice to engage with state andlocal governments in the plan-ning and implementation of forestmanagement projects.

While the national Forest Man-agement improvement act of2015 is a work in process, it iscertainly a step in the right direc-tion for reforming how the na-tional forests of this countryshould be managed. the statusquo is not acceptable. our nation-

al forests should be a public asset,not a liability. When hundreds ofthousands of acres are destroyedevery year by wildfires and half ofthe Forest service’s budget isspent suppressing them, the pub-lic is not being well-served. some-thing must be changed.

the american Loggers councilhas made the reformation of fed-eral forest management policiesone of its legislative priorities. Wewill spend this summer advocat-ing for reforms like those articu-lated in the national Forest Man-agement improvement act of2015.

the time is now. We must stopthe destruction of our nationaltreasures.

As We See It....

THE TIME IS NOW!

company to develop hydrocarbonsthere. Moreover, in 1983, federal andprivate scrutiny of the 23-acre drillsite and three alternative accessroutes found no “cultural resources”and declared, “[n]o religious site oractivities were identified in the pro-ject area….” that same conclusionwas reached in 1993.

Likewise, the tribe’s sole chal-lenge of the drilling site plancame—not on religious or culturalgrounds but—from the tribe’s mis-taken belief that it owned mineralrights in the area.

Meanwhile, the Forest service con-cluded that a “traditional culturaldistrict” (tcD) of some 90,000 acresexisted on federal lands beyond theaPD drill site, which was designatedwith the tribe’s concurrence. Lessthan two years later, the tribe de-manded expansion of the tcD’sboundary. to appease the tribe, fed-eral officials bankrolled the tribe andits consultants in generating multiplestudies to expand the tcD to 120,000and then 165,000 acres, thereby en-veloping the drilling site but exclud-ing nearby private lands. if history isany indication, another 30 years ofstudy beckon. sadly, it is years Mr.Longwell does not have; 43 when hewon the lease, he is 77 today.

Federal officials say they are help-less given the tribe’s position that nooil and gas drilling occur in the areadue to its “spiritual and religiouspower,” but one federal official sug-gested that a $5 million paymentwould remove all objections. in fact,in 2013, the tribe published a slick,twelve page prospectus, “oil and gasDevelopment opportunities” on itsnearby tribal lands. Federal officials,in addition to sloth, ineptitude, andbad faith in the performance of theirduties, have ceded federal lands tothe tribe. Whether that is lawfulwill be determined in federal court.

an american indian tribe in Mon-tana says a Louisiana man may notuse his property, which lies in a na-tional forest, because the land is sa-cred.

For over two decades federal offi-cials let the tribe have its way despitea supreme court 1988 opinion by Jus-tice o’connor: “Whatever rights theindians may have to the use of [a sa-

cred] area…those rights do not divestthe government of its right to usewhat is, after all, its land.” now afederal court must decide if the tribe’sopposition is legal given its self-serv-ing, economic conflict of interest.

in 1982, the bureau of Land Man-agement (bLM) issued sidney M.Longwell of baton rouge, a 6,247acre oil and gas lease in the badger-

two Medicine area of the Lewis andclark national Forest—south ofglacier national Park, the greatnorthern railroad, and U.s. highway2, east of private lands, and southwestof the blackfeet reservation inglacier county in northwestern Mon-tana. in 1983, an application for per-mit (aPD) to drill a single well wassubmitted to evaluate the potential ofthat part of the overthrust belt,whose unique geology may yield “100trillion cubic feet of natural gas”there. after repeated reviews underthe national Environmental Policyact (nEPa) and national historicPreservation act (nhPa), the aPDwas approved in 1985, 1987, 1991,and finally in 1993—subject to oner-ous mitigation measures and a man-date for added reviews if produciblequantities of gas were discovered.

nonetheless, the clinton adminis-

tration tried to kill the lease. in 1993,1994, and 1995, secretary babbittsuspended lease activity purportedlyso congress could designate the areaas a wilderness, which was impossi-ble—the tribe has reserved rights tohunt and gather wood there. in 1996,babbitt continued the suspension os-tensibly to comply with the nhPa afifth time, repeated that suspension in1997, and in 1998 made it indefinite.in 2013, Mr. Longwell sued secretaryJewell and others to end the decades-long suspension.

the delay—maintain federallawyers—is due to the government’s“diligent” efforts to address the cultur-al concerns of the blackfeet tribe re-garding the area. yet, weeks after the1983 aPD’s submission, the tribepassed a resolution to join with an oil
