Kin sey M. Robinson,! president of Washington Water Power com. pany, told members of the EdI son Electric Institute yesterday. In pointing out that the na tion's generating capacity has In creased more than ten million kilowatts In the past five years, the Pacific coast utility executive declared that when the fighting ends "the utility industry will be all dressed up and it will behoove It to have some place to go." Of generating stations financed by the government he said: "Tills power will be foot-loose and fancy free as the war Indus tries subside. If we can demon strate that we can merchandise that surplus power better and faster than any other agency, then the private utilities will be entitled to favorable considera tion in the plants for its distri bution. "But we must not lose sight of the fact that despite the much publicized program of hydro ex- panslon by the federal govern ment during the past few years, the private utilities have installed twice as mucli generating equip ment as the federal agencies so that a large portion of the sur. plus power that will be available after the war will be our own. We must plan now to move it to Ihe customers and the best way oi doing mat is by good team work in every organization." Cut Berry Tops After Harvest, Growers Told Cutting off Ihe lops of straw , berry plants after harvest is rec ommended only where straw berry leaf spot Is bud or where the strawberry crown moth is present, says O. T. McWhortcr, cxicntion horticulturist at o. S. C. If tops are to bo cut off, he recommends their removal with a scythe, sickle or knife imme diately following harvest, after which they can be rakod to the center of the rows and burned to destroy the leaf snot dlsensc, Delaying topping long after Ihe end of harvest has resulted In sharply decreased yields the next season,, Mcwhorter says. Some growers follow the prac tice oi leaving one plant in cv ery eight to servo as trap plants for moth eggs. After Ihe rugs are deposited, these plants are then destroyed. Woodsmen Accused in Death of Three on Bus LEBANON. - Ore.. Juno 8. (API Three woodsmen faced charges of involuntary man slaughter today In Ihe death of three Oregonians, passengers on a bus crushed by a falling tree near Cascadia, Ore., Tuesday. Charles. V. Brown and William G. Lightie, woodsmen who fell ed the tree, and their employer, Ulcn Ohling, were named in a coroner's Jury charge on the ground they should have posted liagmen on the highway. UNCLE SAM By CharUl CUIT has been filed in the Jgoh, by the U. S. Department of Justice against the Southern Pacific Railroad company charging violation of a contract with the federal gdvernment. By an act of Con gress providing right-of-way and grants of lund to aid the Oregon and California Railroad company, which later was succeeded by the Southern tion of the railroad, It was specifically set forth that: " the said companies named In this act are hereby required to operate and use the portions or parts of said railroad and telegraph mentioned in section on of this act for all purposes of transportation, travel, and com munication! so far as the government and public are con cerned, as one connected and continuous line; and in such operation and use to afford and secure to each other equal advantages and facilities as to rates, time, and transporta tion, without any discrimination whatever, on pain of for feiting the full amount of damage sustained on account of such discrimination, to be sued for and recovered In any court of the United States, or of any state, or competent Jurisdiction." Another provision in the act provides that the railroad company "shall at all times railroad." The suit now filed against the company is based upon the requirement of the act that the railroad shall be operated as "ONE CONNECTED AND CONTINUOUS LINE," and also upon the the requirement that the railroad company carry the mails.' ' From Eugene, Oregon, to Dunsmuir, California, the Southern Pacific company has NOT been operating its rail road as "one connected and continuous line.'' In fact, be tween Ashland, Oregon, and Dunsmuir, passenger traffic has been completely discontinued since January 12, 1942. Congress gave the 0. and C. Railroad company a strip of land 100 feet on each side of tho railroad together with all necessary grounds for stations and other structures. It also gave away every alternate section of land for a distance of 20 miles on each: Side of the right-of-way, later extending (his distance to 30 miles, because some of the granted sec tions wera held by private owners, with the rcquh-ement that these grant lands be sold by the railroad company for not to exceed $2.50 pur acre, the money to be used to assist in defraying the cost of construction. Instead of selling the lands as directed by Congress, the railroad company with held some from sale and sold excess of the amount specified. Duo to this violation of contract, the federal government through court action re gained title to all remaining road company the specified Remember this the next time you hear railroad company spokesmen claiming unfair public highways. The railroads have cried long and loud because truck lines use highways built at taxpayer expense, but they do not mention that the federal government paid for the construction of the railroads and that the company inado huge profits in selling the best lands above the maxi mum price fixed by Congress when the government paid a Jands revested in 1916, much cents an acre on tne open marKct. Now, for the second time, is being sued for violating the act. Tho case Jrobably will near future. Down here in Southern Southern Pacific has been kicking us in the face at every opportunity, the Department of Justice will have some rabid fans in the bleacher section rooting for a victory.

This mill, as of course you know, Is a Defense Plant corporation set up designed for the one pur pose of manufacturing lumber to be used for the crating of all types of war materials. It's a big outfit splendidly equipped, with timber reserves ample for many, many years of heavy cutting. It was purchased from the Young's Bay Lumber company, its present operators, to do a wartime job; when this aim has been accom plished ownership will revert to this company, which will contin ue operation of the mill in the manufacture oi lumber for peace time markets. In this first article I hope to give you a general picture of the iunctionlng of the mill, in the words of A. R. Lundeen, its assist ant manager. He kindly consent ed to explain it briefly and sim ply. He Insisted on brevity; I in sisted on simplicity, inasmuch as my insignificant knowledge of saw-milling wasn't capable of ap preciating the detailed complexi ties Involved In tho operation of a big mill. ' ' Says Mr. Lundeen: "When the logs from the woods arc dumped Into the pond at the mill, those logs which are over 40 feet long are taken to a dragsaw, where they are cut into lengths which fit particular lumber orders. Then all logs are taken out of the pond by means of an endless chain to the head-rig or main saw, which breaks them clown Into various sles. "In this mill the logs are saw ed principally into six to 12-inch I IW NEWS or OUR rm If EMwMrOMEM IN UNIFORM SUTHKRLIN Mr. and Mrs. Urittaln Slack of Sutherlin have received word that their son, Ed gar, has been promoted to stafl sergeant.

The gang mill, which has an opening 20 inches by 50 inches for receiving cants, operates much as a carpenter would rip a board, only multi plied by from 24 to 49 times, de pending upon the thicknesses to be manufactured. "From this point the lumber goes into series of circular trim mer saws, which cut the boards into desired lengths, then on out el the mill onto a sorting table where men pull the various lengths and grade, into separate piles. Theso piles of uniform length are hauled to the planing mill for surfacing and shipping out on railway cars. "Now to go back to the head rig: In the making of cants, nec essarily slabs are cut off the log to square It. These slabs of vary ing thickness then go to a series of saws, called an edger, which cuts this slab Into a desired width and then into trimsaws for cut ting into lengths. This material then goes to a re-saw which splits these slabs into one and two-inch thicknesses so that every bit of merchantable lumber may be re covered. This material also goes through a sorting process for length and grade, and on out to the planing mill. "This mill is electrified through out. The only steam used is for certain pumps and on the log carriage which pushes the log through the headsaw. A large ma chine shop is quite complete, with sufficient equipment to take care of repairs of most any portion of the plant." and tells of being made quite comfortable with materials cap lured from the Japanese. He was able to put his training as meat cutler, learned with his father in the North Side Meat market, to good use when an outpost sen try killed a pig. He also tells of being routed out at night by two shots near the camp, only to find the mess sergeant with a chicken. "He acted like a little kid who had set off a fire alarm and then didn't know what to do with the fire department when it showed up, but he fried the chicken and asked us to help him eat it: so all was forgiven."

Sanders, of Roseburg, has been awarded the Distin guished Flying Cross, it has been announced here by Brigadier General Thomas O. Hardin, com manding the India-China wing, air transport command, USAAF. Lieutenant Sanders, says the ci tation accompanying the award, now has to his credit more than 200 hours of operational flight over the dangerous and difficult Assam-China air routes, "where enemy interception and attack were probable and expected." These routes cross the formidable "hump" of the Himalaya moun tains in northern Burma, over which ATC's unarmed cargo planes have ferried immense quantites of military freight, de fying the ever-watchful Jan fighter patrols and some of the world's worst flying weather and terrain. Lieutenant Sanders, who was a student in civilian life, has been in the China-Burma-India thea ter over a year, and was pre viously awarded the Air medal. He is 22 years old. By SUSAN A deep bow orchids and many thanks to Jack Berch for coming through with a salute to Douglas County's Fifth War Loan kick off. We always did enjoy his music, but now we're fans for life. How about some of the rest of you who enjoy his fine fifteen minute show each morning at 10:15 also coming through with a letter to say "thanks a lot"? Send them to us at KRNR and we'll see that they go on to him. Maybe we should bow toward Oakland, Oregon, too, since they were undoubtedly tho first town in the country to make their quota in E Bonds and they of fered to also show us how to do it if we needed help. News is still tile first interest of the day, of course, and, as long as the news keeps breaking we'll be on the air bringing you the reports. There's not much use in remind ing you that certain shows are scheduled for tonight and tomor row, because they are apt to be pulled off at any time to make way for war news, and, as we said yesterday, there's no need to urge you to listen to the radio nowadays anyway -just try to pry us loose. We would Just like to mention that if you've been avoiding that 4:15 spot In the afternoon, you don't need to any more, because there's a now pro gram on there thai sounds like fun. It's the "Merry Moons of San Fernando Valley". Sort of a soap opera deal but on the light side. Anyway Just keep tuned to Mix), because Gib says when any thing is on the air he'll stay with it as long as the news Is coming.
