The Importance of Wood
THIS column has had consider
able to say from time to time
about the great forest area of our
valley, and Its Importance to the
economic future of Douglas coun-
. ty and Its residents. We had not
realized, however, the compelling
Importance of wood in the war ef-
fort until the following, by Roder-
lc Olzcndam, public relations di
rector of the Weyerhaeuser Tim
ber company, came across the
desk. Hero Is a statement he
made, or rather a portion of a
long talk made at the recent con
vention of the Pacific Advertis
ing Association:
The bulk of the gunpowder us
ed on all the battlefronts
manufactured from wood pulp.
Without pulp tho guns of the
world would be silenced.
Without wood no paper for
blue prints, drawings and maps
for Army, Navy, and Air orders,
nor for sanitary and health pur
poses.
Without wood no paper for cur
rency nor government bonds, nor
' newspapers, magazines, or corres
pondence. ,
Without wood no mosquito
boats; and General MacArthur
told Lieutenant Buckley that if he
had 250 of these wooden boats he
could sweep the Japanese from
Philippine waters.
Without wood the American
Army could not have become in
the twinkling of an eye the best
and most permanently housed ar
my the world has ever seen.
Without wood heavy construc
tion for hangars, warehouses, sup
ply depots, air fields, and ship
yards would have lagged. With
out wood, no ammunition boxes.
Without wood bombers and
glider planes would not have roll
ed out In sufficient numbers to
meet the President's require
ments.
But, there was wood In Ameri
ca and there is wood In America
and there will be wood in
America.
Because we were ready with
wood and men and mnchlnes
when the Commander-in-Chief
called, America can talk about
"after the war" that Shangri-la
In time, that longed-for day to
wards which humanity presses at
such an awful cost.
Editorials on News
(Continual from pago 1.)
In order to catch up with rising
prices?
It is an interesting question be
cause the whole process of Infla
tion is a continuing race between
rising wages and rising prices.
History tells us that when such
a race gets under way full tilt,
wages usually LOSE OUT.
. 1AE should be realistic about
this wage situation.
We have what amounts to a
labor government, and it Is to be
expected that when favors are
shown they will be shown to la
bor. Whenever it Is a question of
WHOSE standards are to be
brought up, it must reasonably
expect that labor will get the de
cision.
We should also be fair about It.
In other wars, government has
leaned toward the side of employ
ers and business generally and
' when there were favors to be
passed out It was business that
got them. Too often In past wars,
big fortunes have grown up out
of these favors. "War profiteer"
Is not at all a new word.
Labor, now that it is in the
saddle, hat plenty of precedent
for demanding and retting special
favors. It can hardly be blamed
if it uses its power tc improve its
position.
BUT the fact remains that most
of the wars of the past have
been accompanied by booms
which were followed by
CRASH, and in the ensuing crash
most of the profits arising out of
the war boom have been wiped
out.
There can be no good reason
for assuming that it will be dif
ferent in the case of the present
war. If we have too much boom
now, we must expect TOO MUCH
CRASH afterward.
In this crash, whatever gains
are made now will disappear.
YOU have been reading a
about price ceilings.
lot
The purpose of a price ceiling
Is to keep costs from rising. If
costs could be prevented from ris
ing, it MIGHT be possible to keep
booms from occurring as a result
of the unlimited demands of war
time. If war booms could bo pre
vented, It might be possible to
avoid AFTER THE WAR crash
es. That, at least, was the thought
back of the Idea of establishing
price ceilings.
LETS try a simple Illustration.
VTnt air- flana
It can be PREVENTED from
rising by putting a celling over it
IF THE CEILING IS TIGHT.
But If there are HOLES In tho
celling the hot air will rise
THROUGH THE HOLES, prac
tically as if there were no celling.
N war time, prices, like hot air,
tend tu rust;.
If a price celling were placed
over them, it might be possible to
keep war time prices from rising,
just as it Is possible to keep hot
air from rising by putting a ceil
ing over it.
But only If there were NO
HOLES IN THE CEILING. Cana
da is trying out a ceiling with no
holes in it, and it seems to be
working.
But our ceiling has holes In it.
One hole is provided for wages.
Another hole is provided for farm
prices.
IgOR that reason, It Is extremely
doubtful if our price ceiling
will work.
If It DOESN'T work, we shall
find ourselves plunged head over
heels into the Inflation whirlpool.

Pulpwood Price
Ceilings Slated
WASHINGTON, July 21 (AP)
The office of price administrat
ion announced today that price
ceilings soon would be imposed
on pulpwood, at levels "much low
er" than the current market, to
protect existing ceilings on prices
of such products as newsprint.
OPA reported that prices for
peeled Spruce and other types of
pulpwood, especially that cut and
peeled this summer in the New
England states, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota, had been
advancing steadily, forcing the
cost to producers of woodpulp up
about 25 per cent. This advance,
officials declared, had "squeezed"
the producers who operate under
woodpulp price ceilings.
If woodpulp prices advanced,
OPA pointed out, the price ceil
ings on newsprint and other
papers would be threatened.
By reducing prices at the raw
material level, OPA will be able
to eliminate the "squeeze".
OPA reported that some pulp
wood producers were withhold
ing stocks, anticipating higher
prices In the future, forcing many
pulp producers to contract for
wood from distant sources at in
creased transportation costs.
In addition, fears of diminishing
wood supplies also have caused
producers to bid up prices in com
petition among themselves, "un
til the price of wood no longer
bears its usual relation to its cost,"
OPA asserted.

Hawk county, Iowa, Feb. 13, I860,

Concerning the
NORTHWEST
As Viewed t the
National Capitol
By
John W. Kelly
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 21.
So determined is the Bonneville
administration to crush private
utilities that It has appealed to
the federal maritime commission
to order the Kaiser shipbuilding
concern to make a contract with
Paul Raver's Bonneville power
and to. forbid Kaiser from buying
power from the Portland Gen
eral Electric Co., although' Bon
neville has no transmission lines
to Swan island and has no fran
chise to construct such lines with
in the city of Portland. In view of
the desire of Secretary of the In
terior Ickes to have complete
domination over power in the
northwest by forcing the private
companies to sell (stealing their
customers, sapping their reven
ues), the affair at Swan island is
ol regional rather than local in
terest.
Maritime Commissioner Ho
ward L. Vickery is quoted as
saying that "We own the yard
at Swan island and Kaiser merely
manages it for us. The yard must
take power from Bonneville."
The Swan island shipyard ill
require a heavy load of power
and Raver wanted that load; de
termined to get it away from
PGE. The private company's
rate for power to the shipyard
was as low as that of Bonneville,
$17.50 per kilowatt year, so that,
financially, it made no difference
whether Swan island bought
from PGE or Bonneville.
Bonneville agents have al
ready sought to take other cus
tomers away from this partic
ular private company and are
still working on two or three big
concerns. The government-owned
plant is furnishing power to the
Oregon Shipbuilding corporation,
located on Willamette river, of
which Edgar Kaiser is manager
and used some of the same tac
tics that have been invoked on
the Swan island yards Kaiser
was about to sign a contract with
PGE when Raver put the "bee"
on him.
Coos Bay Coal Eyed
Army Investigators have been
examining the coal deposits in
Washington and Oregon as 180,
000 tons must be supplied to the
cantonments now being built near
Medford and Corvallis. These in
spectors were at Renton, looked
at the coal at Bellingham and
probed into the Coos bay field.
From about 1889 to 1807 Coos
bay coal heated San Francisco,
colliers operating between Coos
bay and the Bay city. So far as
known this is the only coal de
posit in the United States at the
oceanside. As an experiment, the
army men gave an order for 2000
tons but did not designate wheth
er it would be used at Medford or
Corvallis, nor did they fix a
price. Conversations were also
held with the Washington mine
operators for a few experimental
tons. Eventually, whatever mine
wins the contract it will be a big
boost for the northwest industry.
Looking ahead to the possibility
of bauxite being cut off from
Dutch Guiana because of German
-submarine activity, the bureau of
mines has sent survey parties in
to the northwest gathering sam
ples of aluminum clay. The larg
est deposit near Castle Rock has
been checked and now a party is
drilling about 15 miles east of
Cottage Grove. In case of a pinch
the clay deposits will toe used; the
process is a trifle more costly
than with bauxite, which is the
principal reason aluminum ingot
plants prefer the Dutch Guiana
material.
Bureau of mines is also drilling
again in the chromite deposits of
the John Day country. Last year
It explored a chromite deposit in
Montana and when the produc
tion of steel was increased the
government was immediately
ready to have that ore mined
and concentrated; pays a royalty
to the owner.
Admitting that synthetic rub
ber must be produced as rapidly
as possible, Vive President Henry
A. Wallace shocked a senate sub
committee by declaring that he
does not wish to see this plastic
continued after the war. Wallace
maintains that unless the motor
industry goes to natural rubber
there will come world war No. 3.
He is not sympathetic toward us
ing surplus wheat to provide tires
nor of developing raw materials
in the United States If they can
be purchased abroad. He calls
this the long range plan.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
During these days of world
conflict much is heard and
much is read about enemies.
The people of one nation con
sider those of certain other na
tions their enemies, their foes.
In times of war the citizens of
a nation are under the rules
and regulations of their nation
al government and often find
that in being obedient to a con
stituted authority, they are not
permitted to conform to what
they individually consider
right The Bible has much to
say about enemies, and we find
many inspiring accounts of the
triumphs over enemies by men
who have understood and
trusted God, who have looked
to Him for guidance, protec
tion and help. David refused
to harm King Saul, even when
he was delivered into his
hand. Is it any wonder that
David could say, "When even
mine enemies and my foes
came upon me, they stumbled
and fell." The question comes
to us, Is the enemy a man? On
a philosophy of life, when
Jesus was nailed to his cross,
He prayed, "Father, forgive
them, for they know not what
they do." Christ's love for hu
manity was so genuine and
true that He could pray for the
men who crucified Him, be
cause sin had blinded their
eyes. A divine Illustration of
forgiving our enemies. Amen.
anyone fell from, the trail above
(shale makes the footing Inse
cure) Into that swift current,
nothing could keep him from a
fatal plunge over the falls, as
the carcass of a deer caught in
the rocks below amply testified,
on the day I (you and I) visited
there.
Lemolo, the upper falls, 160
feet in height, is friendly and
companionable compared to To
ketee which (I suppose because
of the rigidities of the trail lead
ing to it and the deep, narrow,
rather gloomy gorge through
which the trail passes) appears
a bit sinister. Toketee, taking its
leap in two plunges, is 60 feet
in height.
If you have a heavy camera to
carry, you'll find a pack, sack
convenient; if you have that, a
pack board, either canvas-backed
or thong laced, is better still.
Then, if you'll carefully spot your
heavy camera at the top of the
pack, you'll get along very nicely.
Relief on Rentals'
Ceiling Assured
WASHINGTON, July 21 (AP)
Paul A. Porter, deputy adminis
trator of the office of price ad
ministration told Representative
Magnuson (D., Wash.), today the
OPA was endeavoring to elimi
nate hardships on landlords in
special cases In the Puget Sound
area where rent control regula
tions have created individual
problems that need adjusting.
Rents in the area were set at
April 1, 1941 levels. Porter wrote
Magnuson that it had been de
termined that to set them at any
later date "would embody infla
tionary rent increases contrary
to tne purposes of the rent con
trol act.
Porter said the rent regulations
contained provisions for adjust
ing certain cases of hardship,
and added "it may later be neces
sary to obviate hardships in cer
tain other broad categories by
amendment to tne regulations.
Magnuson had sent to the agen
cy complaints from landlords.

Uncontrolled
Food Prices Rise, 0
Other Class Drops
WASHINGTON, July 21 (AP)
The cost of many foods not un
der price control rose sharply be
tween mid-May and mid-June
while those under regulation de
clined slightly, the bureau of
labor statistics reported.
Prices of foods not under the
general price ceiling advanced an
average of 4.8 per cent and con
trolled food prices declined an
average of 1.3 per cent.
The bureau estimated that, de
spite the administration's efforts
to check the rising cost of living,
