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

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

onto the beaches of Japan s ser
rated and strongly defended
coast. Undoubtedly the little men
of Nippon would like to see us
strike now, before bombs have
anesthetized their home-land.
However, the allied command
is under no enemy pressure In
the Pacific and nay be expected
to proceed methodically in carry

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.

Camp Fire Girls'
Outing is Arranged
Plans for camp for the local
Camp. 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.
