For a number of years this hatchery has been badly neg lected, and, although the fish commission officials would make promises of Improvement, little If anything was done to make it a real fish brooding plant. Under the new regime, support Is being given the Little Mill creek site and now more than a million silver beauties from four to six and eight Inches long are in the ponds. Previously it has been the policy of the commis sion to release such flh while they were yet flngerlings and they were always eaten by the larger fish and never had an op portunity to mature. When the present batch of silvers are re leased, they will be large enough to take care of themselves until they proceed to salt water and return to this river for spawning. Lack of food has been one of the excuses of previous fish com mission officials for the pre mature release of the flngerlings. But this year every effort has been made to keep a supply of food. on hand and the result has been amazing. One thing helping out greatly this year is the pres ent remarkable run of pilchard. Tons- of these fish are being caught and put In cold storage, to be later used as fish food. Lawrence Smith of the Reedsport Packing Co., states that he is freezing 10 tons of these fish for the commission's use.

Judge Thomas C. HarUitl reported today. FIGHTING A By Charles V. Stanton- - : "When will the Japanese w&r end?" This question is being hear'd about as frequently today as "How do you like the weather?" Terrific bombing of the Japanese homeland is leading many wishful thinkers td believe that the end of the Pacific war is near. It does not seem that a nation which' must realize its cause is lost would continue to wage war in face of the destruction of cities and the terrible toll of lives our bombs must be taking! But we must remember that the Japanese people do not know the truth. Many of them still believe the Pacific coast has been invaded. They been retracted, that San Francisco and Seattle were laid in ruins. Japanese soldiers captured in New Guinea had been told they were fighting on the American mainland. The controlled Japanese press and radio have not permitted the Japanese people to know the full extent of their losses. Destruction of the Japanese fleet has never been announced by the Jap warlords. Even when defeats must be reported, the people are given simultaneously exaggerated accounts of damage to American naval, ground and air forces. The great fleets of bombers and fighters roaming the skies Over Japan, however, must be' creating doubt in the minds of her people. A controlled press may feed the population on lies for a prolonged period of time, but eventually ' the truth will be learned. In the meantime Japan continues the fight, just as we would do under similar circumstances. Let us suppose that conditions were reversed and that we were suffering continued defeats such as we experienced at Pearl Harbor; and suppose that we had no knowledge of the extent of such defeats and were kept convinced our forces were receiving only temporary setbacks. Suppose, too, that we, as a nation, held no regard for human life that we could callously send men out to die, even to starve on by passed islands, or to blow themselves into bits, as Jap kamikaze fliers are doing today. Under those conditions, would we quit? The answer, we believe, is obvious. As long as we thought there was a chance to win we could survive bombings or any other of war's innumerable horrors. Japan, too, is a proud nation. For years her people have been led to believe that Japan's military power was invin cible. We doubt if that belief is still overly prevalent, but there is every reason to believe the Nips will hang on in a spirit of desperation until all hope1 of anything short of unconditional surrender has been destroyed! Once the Japanese people can be convinced their cause is hopeless, the end probably will come quickly. That end could be hastened if the people were told the truth. But the government officials dare not tell the truth, for loss of faith in the government would be the quickest and surest way to bring about complete collapse. . j ; ' Some 'observers see hopeful feelers. It is entirely possible that a change of government could occur in Japan over night, with a peace cabinet author ized to bring the war to an end. But it is far more logical to assume that the recent establishment of dictatorship was an action planned to prevent seizure of government control by a peace faction, and that we still have many months of hard and bloody fighting before Japan can be forced to admit defeat. Japan already is beginning to feel the weight of air forces shifted from Europe to the Pacific. But the increasing tempo of air raids is not yet even a sample of what is to come. Soon, too, there will be ground forces sufficient to maintain action on widely scattered fronts, backed by a terrific concentration of naval power. Japan cannot hope to continue long in the fight after the full strength of allied power hits been thrown into action in the Pacific islands nnd on the Asiatic mainland. But it will take several months to muster that power, to transfer supplies and to make ready the final and crushing blow. Until we are in a position to deliver the knockout, we can only guess how long Japan will be able to stave off the Inevitable realization' of defeat. Filer Says Japs Not Ready to Quit 1 SEATTLE, July 13. --(API-Col. Robert E. Hayncs, 37, sk!pix-r of the Superfortress "Thumprr," lone surviving plane cf the ilrst group of 13-29 bombers flown to Saipan for the strike at Japan, said he had seen no signs the Japanese arc ready to quit the war. Enemy planes encountered off Japan"don't shont at you anv more. They Just collide with you," Col. 1 laves said. "That doesn't sound like quitting to me." American flyers' chances of re turning from a mission, however, are bettpr since the first strike was made from Saipan last Thanksgiving day, he said. At that time the Japanese controlled the ocean to within 50 miles of the island base. "Now a pilot coining down on the water anywhere from 200 miles south of Tokyo to Saipan has a 70 per cent chance of lieing picked up by our navy," Hayncs explained.

Young Franco Takes On Katonen in Mat Debut in Roseburg Rbsebiirg presents Its very-own contender to future world wrest ling fame at the armory Saturday night when Young' Francq, local boy who has been overseas with the army; makes his professional mat debut in the United States. Franco, home on a short leave, has built up a great grappling reputation in Hawaii, where he defeated all service and civilian opponents in a series of matches. Matchmaker Don Owen will give the Roseburg youth no push over In Franco's initial appear ance before Douglas county fans. In fact, it appears doubtful if a more formidable opponent could have been selected. Franco will tackle non other than Paavo Ka tonen, rugged and experienced Finn, In the semi-final feature of the weekly program. . Just what may result from the Franco-Katonen bout appears problematical! But if the local lad lives up to his reputation, Katonen may nave an unex pectedly busy evening. Regard less of the result, Paavo can be counted on to make an Interest ing skirmish. Headlining the show will be a one-hour battle between Jack Lipscomb : and Walter Tinkit "Sneeze" Achlu, the top-flight Chinese' matman. Lipscomb is campaigning for both the junior heavy and light-heavyweight championships of the Pacific coast. The so-called "Hoosier Hot-Shot" may, find a stumbling block in Achlu, the jiu-jitsu ex pert. The main event will be a m'eanie vs. cleanie tilt, with the Indiana villain employing a fistic attack before finishing off his opponent wtih a half Boston crab. Achlu, not possessing either the strength or brutality of Lipscomb, is capable of protecting himself. His Oriental tactics may keep Lipscomb on the defensive most of the evening. The program will open at 8:30 o'clock. Elton Owen will referee all three matches.
