Since the loss of the temporary bridge by high water early this month, the upper half of the North UmiHUia road has been inaccessible, despite the fact that this route is of mili tary importance and the road Is essential for proper forest man agement, aside from its position as a means of ingress to the county's principal recreational urea. Travel limitations doubtless will bring about wider use of the North Umpqua area by county residents during the coming sum mer than ever before. Because of gasoline rationing, probably few er fishermen will bo making short trips Into the area, but there will be more campers and. vacationists, remaining for weeks at a time, than lias been known In any sea son previously. It is to he hoped that the bridge replacement can be accomplished before tho vaca tion season arrives. It also Is to be hoped the forest service officials, authorized to make final decision in the local Ion of I he new span, will agree with the contention made here that the site should be In the approxi mate position surveyed anil select ed for the permanent bridge which may be built at some future date. The bridge recently washed out was several hundred feet up- on the objective of keeping rein stream from the mouth of Steam- forcements and supplies from boat creek. Its piers were situated Teaching the axis forces in Africa. in the fast water of the channel. The approach at the east end was over a 20 per cent grade. The pro)osed new bridge site Is less than 100 feet upstream where the water flows shallow over a bed rock base, making substantial footing easy to secure. There would lie less danger of future destruction from high water, as there is little current at that particular point during flood periods, because of the backwater from the North Uinpqua. The east approach, Instead of being on a 20 per cent grade, could lie built on a live and one quarter per cent grade. For several years plans have been considered here for the re moval of the Steamboat ranger station to the point of land be tween the North I'mpiiua liver and Steamboat creek. A fine build- ing site Is obtainable there on a j level bench overlooking the road and river. It Is Impossible to make tliis change, however, until the 1 bridge and road locations arc .i i..n i. , i ii , , , - . i . ,. . . . . llie repl.,.-, mcnt bridge on the proposed new site would f.iclli- lute (hi:, change in station re location. It is regrettable that it is not possible .it this time to build a bridge of a permanent nature. It was actually a travesty that lo reach two such brautiltil bridges as the Molt hi Idge anil the Mar t,:crs bridge, both east of Steam boat, one had to cross such out moded and dilapidated structures as Ihe Rock creek bridge, and the late departed Steamboat bridge. Neither the forest service nor bureau of public roads can, how ever, be blamed for the fact lha' nothing but a replacement is pos sible at tills time. Federal re strictions on materials prohibit the type of structure to be most ties i red. Under existing conditions it Is, lo be hoped that this project will ; be given some real thought and i Kludv: that those in charge will think seriously enough of the matter lo actually view conditions ..,.

Editorials on Newt (CoaUnued from w 1) arrives in Seattle and tells a story that hits home to all of us here on the comparatively safe and easy home front. The men from the Coolidge got ashore on an island in the pouring rain, with only coconuts to cat. "Of course," the survivor says, "we'd lost everything we had, but we were so LUCKY TO HE ALIVE that we weren't bothered." If we on the safe and easy and relatively luxurious home front will EMULATE that spirit, there's nothing our enemies can do in this war that will lick us. E grouse about rationing of tires and gasoline and sugar and coffee and Impending ration ing of a lot of other things. Pooh! Pooh! What we have to put up with here on the home front is NOTH ING. L ETS save an exception here. These things, and the regi mentation by which they are ac complished, are wholly foreign to the American way of life in PEACE. After the war Is over, we WANT NO PART OF THEM. We KNOW that NOW. But, for tho duration, let's take it as it comes, as our men on the lighting fronts are taking what ever comes. E learn that maybe 1000 Japs got ashore at tho river mouths in New Guinea In their week-end landing sortie. Our air force Is pounding them. And pounding the Jap warships that still hang offshore. And sink ing the Jap supplies that still float In the sea. We're still closing In on the remaining Japs on the Buna beaches. HE Germans are hitting hard .Stalingrad, but the Russians still report progress on the centra! front west of Moscow. That may be significant, mean ing possibly that Hitler isn't able to muster strength on both fronts and is still intent (suicidally in tent, we hope ) on making good his commitment to take Stalin grad. At ANY cost. We must also remember the im portance to Germany of cutting the Volga-Caspian supply line to Russia. Once Hitler dellnitely abandons his attack on Stalingrad that project will be on the skids. ALLIED naval strategy in the Mediterranean is concentrated We aren't hearing much about naval fighting there, but may be entile sure that plenty of It Is go ing on. If we can prevent reinforce nients and supplies from reaching our enemies from across the Medi terranean, the axis' goose in Africa w ill be cooked.

OUT OUR WAY Starvation Faced By Jap Invaders Of Alaska, Belief AN ARMY HASE IN THE AN DREANOK ISLANDS, Dec. 11. (Delayed) (API Activities of '.lie U. S. navy and air force have brought the Japanese invaders face to face with the possibility of starvation through the complete cutting of supply lines to Kiska island, it appears here. Although army officers here are loath to definitely say that no supplies have reached Kiska in the last two months, the last ship seen there was on October 9. Two attempts to reinforce the aircraft defense of the Island likewise have failed - once when ships carrying crated planes on deck were destroyed and again when II. S. fighters pounced out of the clouds and destroyed a newlv landed group of planes on the beach. The army also disclosed today that the air force had destroyed a Japanese ship 'thanksgiving day In the vicinity of Attn Island, westernmost of I he Aleu tian chain. American fighters and bomb ers swept out of the clouds to strafe and bomb the collier-type vessel which was neither big enough or fast enough to be a good supply ship or lo escape the ill.uk. United Slates officers consid ered its use an Indication of a possible pinch in Japanese ship ping resources. With the United Stales air pa trols flying over Kiska as many as two or three times a day, of ficers point out the only pos sibility that supplies may have been landed would have been bv submarines or surface vessels which slipped in in the night and were gone before morning. Alt hough it is recogni.ed the Japs may cling to the island long er than might white troops, due to their ability to live on fish and a little rice, natives point out that nothing el.se, aside Irom a few roots known to islanders Is available on the island. Fish in some quantities may be caught In surrounding Islands, but hardly in quantities to sup port troop units. Hesides tiie certain shortage of rood, the invaders seem likewise to be running short ol ammuni tion, since although it Is known they possess anl -aircraft guns capable ol reaching up to 20,000 feet their fire against American planes ol recent weeks lias been umiieti io neigntsof ,ooo or .1.00(1 reel. What lew planes now appear over Ihe is land are obviously patched up from previous wrecks, llieir pi lots dive into tin- clouds imme diately on approach of either American fighter or bomber era It.

Concerning tho NORTHWEST At Viewed i the National Capital By r John W.Kelly WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 18. unable to call a auorum and do ing business only by unanimous consent, the house of reoresenta' tives decided to Just quit; go home and collect their mileage. Since November 3 President Roosevelt has been unable to get any con cessions from congress; every thing that he had asked for has been refused and by committees on which the majority of mem bers arc democrats. His last re quest for more power authority to suspend the tariff laws (highly Important to the northwest) and suspend the immigration laws to permit thousands of alien refu gees to enter this country until after the duration, was rejected. The bureaucrats "down town" who have been hoity-toity with members of congress and have brushed the lawmakers aside as of no moment, have become very subservient, very anxious . to please and give information. This applies especially to war acti vities and to the young "econo mists" cluttering up so many bureaus. In Its. own behalf con gress is seeking to recover powers granted to the president. Leader in this Is Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, a democrat, not a new dealer. What makes the situation in the national capital intriguing is that Mr. Roosevelt is finding his hardest opposition among members of his own party. They have discovered that powers granted the president have been interpreted by Attorney uencrai Biddlc to mean things that the congress never contemplated. The democrats do not consider this cricket. , Pierce To Lecture at U. Of O. One retired congressman who is not soliciting the white house for a lame duck Job is Walter M. Pierce. After three months at Palo Alto, Pierce will settle down at Eugene and deliver a course of lectures on congressional pro cedure to students of the Univer sity of Oregon. Over In another part of the university Cornelia Marvin Pierce, his secretary, will be Indexing the letters, bills and papers which Pierce has accumu lated in 10 years in congress and which he has shipped to the uni versity. One of Pierce's final speeches "for the record" is burn ing criticism of the war produc tion board which, he charges, has blocked every attempt to locate an industrial development in the I Washington-Oregon territory that w'lll survive after the war. NYA Faces Struggle This year national youth admin istration is spending more than $61,000,000 in training young people. Latest figures show there is an average of 53,000 of these trainees. NYA Is conducted by Aubrey Williams, who, when at tached to WPA, urged the relief ers to work and vote for the ad ministration in order to secure continuation of the flow of re lief. NYA was under fire when the war came along and it then became an instrument to train youth to take Jobs in aircraft factories, shipyards, etc, training which was already being done by the industrial plants at their own expense. Before this transforma tion, students in high schools, colleges and universities in the northwest were receiving pay from NYA to the number of sev eral thousand. If the economists can abolish NYA or transfer 11 to the bureau of education, which also has training courses in schools, the present set up will be wiped out completely and save taxpayers a substantial sum. It is expected however, that the schools will assist NYA in the struggle to continue. Home Canning Problem Ix)oks as though the housewife will have to prepare berries, vegetables and fish herself next season if she expects to have any of these articles on the table. Anew about the same time she starts with the berries the sugar ration ing will interfere. The principal critical material In canning is tin, and that is now precious. To obtain tin for caps on beer bottles the brewers arc now buying 10 gallon tin buckets from rcstau rants and stamping the caps out of this material. "Victory gardens, which were frowned upon this year because, It was argued, few people with such gardens knew how to work them and therefore wasted seed and fertilizer, will be advocated by the department of agriculture next sorinc and it is expected more effective effort will be made to encourage home canning.
