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.

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

year's trend was steadily upward

Douglas county rated amone

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. .

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.

per cent of the drivers on Oregon
highways held their speeds below
the 35-mile wartime limit during
may while a majority drove 49
miles per hour or less. Secretary
of State Farrell said.
The 48-mile speed was com

speed of the majority in April,

51 in January, but Farrell urged
still closer observance of the war,
