It history and geography are deoendable euldes, it will be, a long, LONG time however long forever may be. In terms of Central Europe, these are the STEPPES, and when, Herodotus, the world's first traveling corre spondent saw and described them nearly 25 centuries ago the steppes of Central Europe must have looked much as this part of Wyoming looks now. The steppe country of eastern Europe and western Asia has changed little since Herodotus' saw it. ; Steppe country, which is graz ing country, changes in only minor ways as the centuries pass. YOUR average Easterner, cross ing this wide grazing belt, is puzzled and vaguely troubled. It seems to him that here is a country that Isn't FULFILLING DESTINY for to his urban mind the only worth-while destiny for a country is to settle up tightly so that it may nourish industrial cities with smoking factories and rabbit warren homes, " . ' " WE of the West, Who know bet ter, are neither puzzled nor troubled by these scmUarid plains and plateaus. They comfort us, nd give us a pleasant feeling of lecurlty for we know that in this kind of country, where change is infinitely slow, the spirit that built America will live on and on and on. lifE of the great open spaces are If Inclined to be puzzled and a little troubled as we gaze upon the phenomenon of modern mass industrial production, with Its monotonous routines that limit men's mental horizons and change their ways of thinking. In the industrial beginnings of America, a shoemuker made a pair of shoes ALL BY HIMSELF, with his own hands. As each shoo was finished, he could and doubt less did hold It up and think with personal pride of accomplish' ment: "I did that." And when he closed his shop, he probably went home and hoed the garden and milked the cow and fed the chickens and may be a pig, for his winter ham and bacon. Then split the kindling to build the fire to cook tomorrow's breakfast. That night, or some other, he went to a meeting to talk over the affairs of his town or his school district or his road district. Whatever was done in tiie way of his local government, he probably had a finger in. His life was filled with STIMU LATING activities. HIS modern descendant stands beside an assembly line all day and pushes bolts into a hole. He goes home nt night and cats food that came from a nearby super-market and was cooked with gas or electricity from a rentrul plant. He lives In a flat or an apartment heated by a furnace tended by a janitor. He winds up the day by seeing a movie made by mass production methods In Hollywood. Tho government he lives un der, including the schools lie sends his children to, is provided for him, all ready made, by his bis-city political machine. It isn't strange, under these circumstances, If he becomes so BORED that he is ready for any thing that promises a change and so unaccustomed to RELYING UPON HIMSELF that he is ready to follow any loose-tongued dema gogue who promises security without personal effort or sacrfe lablleh.-d D'rfTv rxoefvt Sandcy by A RESOURCE By Charle. V. Stanton Summer steelhead fishing on the North Umpqua river has been very poor to date and far fewer fish are to be found at Steamboat falls at present than is usually the case at this time of year, Clarence Gordon, proprietor of Umpqua lodge at Steamboat Ranger station reports. Mr. Gordon has been a very interested observer of conditions on the Umpqua for a number of years, having a large investment- in his beautiful resort. He has maintained a study of fish escape ment and usually can judge by. the number of steelheads arriving at Steamboat falls, head of migration on Steam boat creek, the extent of the run during following months. Present evidence, he states, is tljat this year's migration will be very light. He anticipates poor fishing. Steamboat creek is closed to fishing. , It is one of the principal tributaries used by steelheads as spawning grounds. The fish are safe from molestation after they run the gauntlet of the North Umpqua. They congregate at the falls where fairly accurate counts may be made. Gordon states that there are only about one-half as many fish at the falls now s may be found there ordinarily at this1 time of year. . , Each year owt North Umpqua fishermen have been com plaining of decrease in the number of summer steelheads. This decline is in evidence in spite of the fact that there has been much less fishing on the river since the start of the war than in the years when many more tourists as well as local fishermen enjoyed the sport. . The run of spring Chinook salmon also was unusually light. Up-river spawning beds show very few salmon. There is no escaping evidence thnt the reputation of the Umpqua river as a sports stream is most seriously threat ened. Yet, with the exception of a comparatively few conservation-minded persons, no one seems to care. Douglas county residents as a whole do not seem to grasp the fact that we are permitting one of our greatest resources to slip from our grasp. The potential resources of the Umpqua river are suffic ient to produce more income annually than either our lumber or farm industries possibly more than both combined if properly exploited. One-third , of the entire Pacific high way in Oregon lies within Douglas county. For one-third of the distance tourists travel Oregon they are in Douglas county and the Umpqua basin. Prior to the war our tourist travel brought an income to the state of more than $50 million. In the postwar period Oregon js anticipating tourist income of more than $100 million and there is no good reason why, with the natural resources we have at hand, the income cannot be greatly increased over the anticipated amount. California derived more than $400 million annually from tourist travel prior to tho war. Washington had tourist income amounting' to -T' - . $90. million, Oregon has far outdoor recreation than either' of its neighboring states, and Douglas county, with one-third of the length of Oregon's Pacific highway, has greater contact with tourists than any other county of the state, fishing stream as a prime attraction. ' - Yet the state of Oregon has permitted a handful of men engaged in selfish, greedy conunercial fishing to ruin not only the Umpqua river but many other fine fishing streams. TEN OREGON STREAMS HAVE BEEN ABANDONED BY COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER YIELD FISH. An attempt was made at the last session of the state legislature to produce a measure of conservation through passage' of H.B. 378. ' But a few commercial fishermen, notwithstanding the continuing evidence of stream deple tion, have forced a year's delay in imposing the restrictions embodied in the bill and have gained a referendum in which they will doubtless again attempt to mislead voters from the true facts, as they did in their cumpaign of misrepresenta tion against the steelhead bill in November, 1912. We cannot expect to reulize the full benefits of our tourist industry until people of Oregon vake to the poten tial values of recreational resources. Existing conditions on the Umpqua river furnish ample proof of the need for immediate awakening to the dangers which threaten not only the Umpqun valley but the entire region as well. fice or risk. THESE wide-open spaces of our great West, where the busi ness of making a living is still largely u PERSONAL matter, where people do countless things yvith their own hands, where they have a personal finger in the pie of local government and local uf- fairs of all sorts, where every body knows everybody else, nre the antidote for the inevitable BOREDOM of modern industrial mass production. They help to keep America sailing on nn even keel. DIAL-LOG By Susan Please pass the salt tablets . . . It must he the heat.

Slated Before' Land Invasion Attempt By DEVV1TT MacKENZI AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The fierce aerial bombardment which Admiral (Bull) Halsey's carrier-based warplanes have ad ministered to Japan has. led the Tokyo radio commentators to speculate whether this is the curtain-raiser for Invasion. Well, it could be, but the signs are that (barring some unex pected development) the Mi kado's mother islands will under go an awful softening up before wa send out gallant troops up onto the beaches of Japan s ser rated and strongly defended coast.

WANT TO WIN THE WAR? ' BUY WAR BONDS! WANT TO WIN HER HEART? ' IP the testimony of German Mar shals Kesselrlng and von Rund sredt that allied bombing was the chief factor in the collapse of the Fatherland. There are military experts who believe we eould knock Japan out completely by bombing, but that remains to be demonstrated - and can't be-as sumed at this juncture by any means. Many observers have the feel ing that the bombing of Japan may continue for several months as a preliminary to invasion always making allowance for some fortuitous circumstance which would invite an earlier landing on the Japanese main land. However, by October we should have a good idea of how things stand. British Phase Considered There are several reasons for this viewpoint. One is that wc should be able in that period to bring sufficient aerial striking power into play to give Japan's stamina a- thorough test. Then it's going to take much time to transport troops and equipment from Europe and America to the Pacific theater for the clean-up. And finally, one wouldn't ex pect an American invasion of Ja an to come before the British get Itno action against the East Indies' and the heavy monsoon rains and winds in the Indian ocean area certainlv will ham- per, if not preclude, major offen- soon ends in October. That doesn't mean that there won't be operations in the British theater during the stormy season, but a drive against mighty Singapore, for instance, would seem to call for favorable weather. Borneo Conquest Vital Anyway, three months isn't a very long time in which to test Japan's mettle by bombing. Mean time the general allied position in the war of the Orient is round ing into fine shape. MacArthur's new conquest of mighty Borneo gives the allies control of the whole southwest Pacific and paves the way for a clean-up of Java,, Sumatra, Singapore and other Indonesian- territory when the British are ready for action. . On the continent the Chinese are rapidly reclaiming the whole of southern - China, from which the harassed Jans have with drawn the bulk of their strength in order to defend northern China in the event of Russia's entrance into the war. At the same time, an . Indian army of 2,500,000 trained and equipped men is waiting for a chance to get at the Japs. No wonder Tokyo is anxious about invasion.

Fira girls were announced today by Mrs. Harrie W. Booth, chairman of the Roseburg Camp Fire council, and the date of camp has been set for one week, August 6 to 12 inclusive. The camp will be operated in conjunction with the Coos Bay council, will be known as the Douglas-Coos County Camp Fire camp. Any registered Camp Fire girl is eligible to attend. The fee is $10 plus transportation costs. As the camp is a former C C C camp located 18 miles out of Co quille, it has necessitated the chartering of school busses to transport the girls. However, the bus fare will be small. The camp has been taken over by the 4-H club and has been completely remodeled. Parents are urged to mak it possible for girls to attend as the camp has been arranged especially well to provide a pleasant vacation for children. Mrs. F. N. Pendleton, Coos Bay will be camp director and will be assisted by a staff of women from both Coos Bay and Rose burg. Girls who have turned in their registration to their guardion are requested to pay the balance of their camp registration fee to Mrs. Gordon Stewart at the Douglas Creditors association in the U. S. National bank building. The fee must be paid by July 20 For further information. Camp Fire girls are requested to call Mrs. Harrie W. Booth at 377 or Mrs. Eugene Peterson at 462-J-3. Rainier Crowd Beavers For League's Top Spot (By the Associated Press). Seattle's red-hot Rainiers, rac ing toward the top of the Pacific Coast league, were within two and a half games of the first place Portland Beavers today the closest they have been since June 15. The Rainiers knocked off the Hollywood Stars 1-0 and 6-2 In a twin bill last night, extending their winning streak to nine of their last 10 tilts. The double Seattle victory, coupled with Portland's 4-1 de feat at the hands of the San Fran cisco Seals, cut a game and a half from the Beavers' lead. In other Wednesday contests Sacramento shaded the Oakland Acorns 8-4 and Los Angeles split with San Diego, the Angels tak ing the opener of a doubieheader 5-4 and the Padres the nightcap 4-2.
