By Charles V. 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."

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.

land, have returned here, follow.

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

war first and deal with these

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? ;
