OUR American infantrymen as this is written are closing in on the Inner fortress of Cher bourg. They have taken one of the three high points defending the city and are storming the other two. LIKE Singapore, Cherbourg's big guns point to the sea and can't be turned around. The Ger mans are fighting back with ma chine guns, rifles und light artil lery. A captured German order discloses that their officers have ordered them to stay and die nt their posts or be shot as cowards. Their job is to keep us FROM A PORT as long as possible. THE Germans say the Russians have started their SUMMER OFFENSIVE on a 150 to 200 mile front from Mogilev and Vitebsk along the great railroad that leads to Warsaw and Berlin. The Russians are still silent. Their custom Is to fight first and talk afterward. Watcli this spot. ONE of the greatest flights YET of rocket bombs descends on England. Our great planes are pounding the ChIhIi coast Inccs- A MEETING of sawmill and logging operators was held with the county court last Friday for the purp'ose of discussing a problem that will grow increasingly acute in Douglas county as the timber industry expands. Modern logging is dependent upon truck transportation. Such op erations require roads roads capable of carrying extreme ly heavy loads in all kinds of weather. Our Douglas county roads were not designed for the traf fic they are at present being called upon to bear. Nor have we, in late improvements, fully realized the rapidity with which industry is developing. During the few years immediately prior to the war, ex tensive improvements were made to the North Umpqua road between Roseburg and Glide. It was an excellent road for the light traffic which passed over the route. Already it is broken and crumbling and becoming very dangerous. But the heayy travel has not even started. A check conducted by the forest service, V. V. Harpham superviaor of the Umpqua National forest, reports, shows that during the 1944-45 season logging trucks will be pass ing over the North Umpqua road on an average of one every 12 minutes. The tempo of travel is expected to in crease as additional manufacturing facilities are construct ed. Using the sustained yield estimate of the North Ump qua working circle as a basis, it is calculated by the forest service that within a period of 20 years loaded logging trucks will be passing into Roseburg over the North Ump qua route at the rate of one every three to four minutes. No road existing in Douglas county at the present time could withstand such pounding. It will be necessary to spend millions of dollars to construct road surfaces capable of bearing the loads which will be placed upon them. The question of who is to pay this construction cost is cue demanding immediate answer. The property owners should not be expected to bear all of the burden. It is true that industry increases property values. Thus, the real estate owner can rightfully be as sessed a moderate sum for road improvement, but he should not be required to pay the entire cost. At first glance, it would seem that industry should foot the bill. The roads we had before the sawmills came were fairly well suited for our needs. At least we would not be forced to spend millions of dollars just to be able to travel them. But while the industry is responsible for forcing the change in conditions and developing the emer gencythe expense of roaS .building must be divided. .Every truck operator pays an exceedingly heavy rate of taxation to the State of Oregon. The counties get only a small per cent of the money derived from fees, gasoline taxes; registrations, licenses, etc. The state, therefore, would seem obligated to assist in maintaining the roads over which the trucks operate. ;JTere in Douglas county, a very large proportion off our timber is owned by the federal government. Within a space of a few years much of our privately owned timber, with the exception of that owned by large companies, operating their own holdings under sustained yield, will have been cut over, and the industry will be dependent almost entirely for aw materials upon publicly owned timber. The federal government will then be deriving large revenues. Conse quently, a large amount of federal aid in road construction and improvement is justified. The solution appears to be the invention of a formula in which all interested agencies shall participate in relation to their benefits. The county can contribute in proportion to the benefits to property values. Industry must assume part of the cost. The state and federal governments should cooperate. This formula will not be easy to devise. because each affected group will desire to shove as much of the burden as possiblo onto oue or more of the others ; but a mathematical ratio of cooperation can be reached by proper engineering study and should serve as the basis for future road building. But the decision must be reached quickly. Despite the expenditure ol thousands ol dollars on the upper Smith Coast League Race Shows 7 Teams in Bunched Position (By the Associated Press) Seven Pacific Coast league base ball teams were grouped so close ly, today that any one of them could be in first position by the end of this week's series. Yesterday's douhieheaders saw Los Angeles move from seventh position into a four-way tie for fourth place with Seattle, Port land and Hollywood while Oak land moved from sixth to third and San Diego from fifth to sec ond. Only three and one-half games separated the first place San Francisco Seals and the four fourth placers. The Angels defeated Portland twice, 6-5, in the 10-innlng open er and, 12-0, in the nightcap to take a five-to-two edge Jn- the week s series. The Oakland Acorns ran their winning streak to five straight with a double victory over the Seattle Kalniers. Oakland took the lead in the first inning of the opener and coasted in with a 5 2 win. In the nightcap the Acorns broke a iifth inning one-all tie with two runs and added three more in the sixth for a 6-2 edge. Seattle "on only one game of the week s six. San Diego was forced to go 10 innings to win the opener with the Hollywood Stars, 2-1, behind the two-hit pitching of Cecil, then barely nosed out a 7-6 win in the eight-inning nightcap. The Pad res won five of seven in the series. League-leading San Francisco pounded out 12 hits off three Sac ramento pitchers to win the open er, 10 to 1, but the Solons won the nightcap, 1-0, and took the se ries, five to two. In Saturday's games Sacramen to beat the Seals, 5-2, Los Angel es won over Portland, 8-2, Oak land took Seattle, 4-1, and Hol lywood defeated the Angels, 7-3. Team Standings: W L Pet.

Set in Oregon For Deer, Elk, Birds Douglas county ranked among the highest in the state in the rate of payroll gain during the first quarter of 1944 as compared with the same period a year ago, according to a report by the State Unemployment Compensa tion commission. Although Multnomah counly reported nearly half of the 818,- 500,000 Increase in Oregon's cov ered payrolls, 30 of the 36 coun ties showed a higher rate of gain, the commission reports. Reflected in the state's total of $194,763,000 for the first three months of 1944 is a gain of 11.1 over last year. Multnomah coun ty increased 7.8 per cent, with payrolls of $127,782,000 in the first quarter, while outside coun ties gained 19.5 per cent to total $56,911,000. Because employment now is levelling off. while last year's trend was steadily upward aiier Daa January and February weamer, otiicials doubt that, for the state as a whole, 1943's pay roll oi $YSb,uoo,ooo will be ex ceeded. Lumber Major Factor Douglas county rated amone the leaders In the rate of ealn. showing an increase of 52.2 per cent, or from $1,463,630, to $2,227, 266, principally from the lumber industry, new construction, etc. Josephine county had the highest rate of gain, .67.9 per cent, with total payroll of $692,- 586. Excepting for Multnomah coun ty. Lane showed the largest act- ual increase in payrolls, Jumping trom $4,873,000 to $6,854,000. Can nery -operations and lumbering employment were responsible. A reopened cement plant boosted Jackson county's wages 'mater ially, while a new box factory, a new dehydrating plant and con struction work helped Klamath employment. Counties showing a loss this year included three Jefferson, Tillamook and Deschutes which had big war jobs last year. Other counties showing losses included Curry and Hood River. . r PORTLAND, June 26. (AP) The elk season will be from iNo vember 1 to 30 instead of No vember 4 to 30 as tentatively scheduled earlier this month, the state game commission said in announcing 1944 hunting seasons on game birds and confirming the dates for deer and antelope. As the deer season runs from October 1 through October 31, hunters going out late in the month may bag an elk on the same trip. It was this that east ern Oregon sportsmen sought to prohibit in urging the later open ing date on elk. They contended a hunter can't properly care for more than one animal. Bull elk may be killed only from November 1 to 14 in Curry and Tillamook counties. Antelope may be hunted Sep tember 24 to October 7 except in two closed areas the Drakes flat district and the Milliean Fort Rock-Wagontirc region.
