Stentos PURCHASE by the Weyerhaeuser Timber company of ap I proximately 50,000 acres of timber land in Douglas and Coos counties leadp tjo much interesting speculation. The timber was owned for many years by members of the Pills- bury flour manufacturing concern, who have been holding the lands fo purposes of speculation. The acreage secured by the Weyerhaeuser company is al most equally divided in area between Douglas and Coos counties, Douglas county having a slight edge, with 25,582 acres. The timber represents some of the finest on the Pacific coast and doubtless brought a substantial sum to the owners, as many large buyers have been bidding for the block as a whole and in parcels. Our principal concern is in the plan of the new owner for harvesting his crop. One great advantage is to be seen in the transfer of ownership and that is in the matter, of sustained yield operation. Weyerhaeuser, once most pro fligate with timber resources, is now an outstanding ex ponent of conservation. The company is engaged in exten sive "tree farming." It is spending millions of dollars in laboratory experimentation to find new processes for utili zation of that portion of the tree which formerly was waste material. Some Weyerhaeuser discoveries are important military secrets and are playing a prominent part in war production. " On the other hand, the Weyerhaeuser company is a domi nant factor in the industry. Because of its enormous hold ings it is able to exercise a large measure of control over competing concerns. It is possible for organizations such as Weyerhaeuser to purchase large blocks of timber, holding them from cutting operations, while rival concerns starve out from lack of raw materials. But we doubt if such is the policy of the Weyerhaeuser company in buying the Pillsbury tract. Rather, we believe, it heralds immediate large-scale operation, for the com pany nas an almost equally substantial Dotly ol umber in Coos county and has, in addition to other purchases, ac quired a millsite at Coos Bay and also is reported to have been investigating sites in the Roseburg area. Much of the Coast range timber acquired in this pur chase is mature and in ideal stage for manufacture. Con sequently, it doubtless will be started to market in the near future. It is very probable tjhat the purchase was influ enced by the assurance of a new era in wood usage, in which the market for lumber will be secondary to utiliza tion of wood for many other purposes, such as plywoods, j plastics,-rayon, alcohol,' adhesives, etc. I These factors should result in safeguarding the large! body of timber from exhaustion through application of! sustained yield processes, the utilization of a far greater1 percentage of the tree than in existing practices and the! development in tho near future of large-scale lumber man llfiieturing bjf the Weyerhaeuser company in the Douglas uoos area. T HE Ankara radio lells of a cabinet crisis In Turkey. The Turkish foreign minister is said to have resigned qtter failing to gain support for his policies, and the Turkish premier has taken over the foreign ministry. Any sign of, eruption in a neg tral or a satellite country these days Is Interesting. Our troops , are fighting on Salpan and Tinian islands in the Marianas, just north of Guam. IF WE SUCCEED, we'll have a base within 1500 miles of Tokyo. You're familiar by this time with the theory of bases. They arc stepping stones where we assem ble troops ami equipment for jumping off. The Marianas are 1000 miles west of our present most westward base In the Mar shall. From a Marianas base, wo could strike either at Japan or at the Philippines. Place Bus, Truck Repair Orders in Advance, is Urge Roseburg bus, truck and other commercial vehicle operators to day were asked by the Office of Defense Transportation to anti cipate their future needs for re placement of worn-out' engines and to place orders with their dealers several months '. In ad vance. ' The O. p. T. in Medford ex plained that if vehicle operators desire immediate engine replace ments when needed, t.hey must build up the demand. ' ' ' ' Officials pointed out that some operators expressed disappoint ment at not being able to obtain rebuilt exchange engine replace ments immodiately on demand because dealers do not have an adequate supply on hand. ',' O. D. T. said that this situation can be remedied if operators real izo the necessity for the dealers, the engine rebuilders, and the parts manufacturers to" plan ahead, "the existence of demands lor specific makes and models of their units can only be proved un der present wartime manufactur ing schedules by actual anticipa tory orders placed by vehicle owners. This will start the sup ply of essential replacement parts flowing to the truck owner." "Under the 1944 truck-bus re habilitation program, provision is made for the exchange and re building of worn-out engines, transmissions and differentials which cannot be easily repaired with a few small parts. The un serviceable component is then re built by the manufacturer or re huilder for further use, thereby rotating stocks In dealers hands." 10:00 Old Fashioned Revival. 11:00 Sign oft : KRNR Wutual Broadcasting System, 1490 Kilocycle. ' T still holding at Changsha where the Japs are said to have thrown in 200,000 men (about the same number the Germans are supposed to be using against our beachhead in France). YOU'VE noted in the dispalchcs the big ruckus over ile Gaulle. Vxm'll be wise If you believe litlle or nothing you read or hear nlxmt it, fur de Gaulle is all snarl ed up In intcrmilinnal politics. The British are supposed to be backing him. FPU is supposed to he AGAINST him. So the news about him is too much mucked up with propaganda to lie reliable. School election will be held Monday in every school dis trict of Douglas county. Here in Roseburg the election will be held at the Junior high school building from 2 to 7 p. m. As in Roseburg, many of the districts will have no contest for school offices and no issues to compel interest. With attention of school patrons centered upon the war and other matters, there probably will be few who will take the trouble to cast a vote, It is in such times that an organized group, even though it may represent a very small minority, finds opportunity to introduce disharmony into school administration. A group having any selfish motive to serve can at such times gflin a foothold in the administrative system. Our governmental system, even in school district affairs, is based upon a plan of majority rule. We can have majority rule only when a majority of the qualified electors act upon any issue pre sented for decision. Consequently we urge attendance of voters at the polls to show loyalty to and interest in our school system, even though the election may be lacking in excitement. Back From Eugene Miss Hel en Casey of Roseburg and her guest, Miss Naomi Scott ot Port land, have returned here, follow. Ing a short stay In Eugene visit ing relatives. DE (JAULUCS story i head of (lie French is that as eh national liberation committee he Is en tilicd to recognition as head of the TKOVISIONAI. government of France. Our slory Is thai, we want .to back NO PKIiSfiN'f French government, leaving it In stead id the French to pick their OWN government after tho war. To this insignificant writer it npjK'ai-s that we might well deal with de Gaulle NOW and leave it to the French AFTERWARD to keep him or throw him out, us they choose. But tluH Is only the opinion of one small Ameri can who 'would like to win the war first and deal with these other problems later. ! local News j On Way to Drew Mr. and Mrs. Dale IJonney of Miuipin.

DIALfpLOG BySUSAN " This being Mutual's Bond Day, tonight's Chicago Theatre of the Air Symphony will present a special Bond Show, titled "Down to Posterity." Downbeat Derby from 8 until 9 has special guests we'd be willing to bet that there ' will be War Bond plugs here too. ! By the way, have you bought your bonds yet? On Sunday, Bob- j by Hookey and his kindergarten ! crew pay tribute to Father's day j that's 10:30 in the morning. The Mysterious Traveler rides the I train again at 2:30, and at 3 j ghosts will walk and banshees j wail when Roosty and the crow I of the "Lovin' Lulu" get a rest after the Invasion only it seems it isn't very restful in the old cas-1 tie where they go for their va- ! cation. The evening hours on Sunday t show quite a change in program-! mlng, and it sounds very O. K. to us. For instance, there's a new j musical show at 8, titled Amerl- can Home Hour. Can't tell you i a lot about it except that your old friend, Attillio Baggiore, does some of the singing. Then at 8:30 ; there's a brand new quiz and fun ! show. As we understand, it's de-1 signed for the men and women of the armed forces. Thi re will be cash prizes, and the title is Skyriders. We'll give a listen and pass ju'lgment next week, j but then you know we're quiz' show addicts, so we'll probabjy j like It whether anyone else does or not. Human Adventure at 9:30 Is based on the book, "The Com-; Ing of tho Civil War," and pop- j uiar misconceptions regarding the ! cause ot the Civil War will be dramatized. Sounds like this will ; be worth while. We'd suggest you look over your program carefully : this weekend because vou ' wouldn't want to miss any ot thej good shows, now would you? ; Accused Man Forfeits j $100 Justice Court Bail Justice of the Peace Thomas Harlflel reports that John Lu- betich forfeited SIOO hail when he failed tn npcar for trial Friday on the charge of unlawful impor tation of wine Traffic fines paid in the Justice court included: Ce cil M.
