READ carefully that paragraph from the preamble to the Dec laration of Independence. It was the real beginning in the modern world of what we call FREEDOM OF THE INDIVIDUAL. Our American way of life (which we mention too often wilhoul understanding all It means to us) stems from those words and from the deeds of t lu men who have upheld them. YOU must know, if you read the papers, that I his free way of life Is now being seriously chal lenged. Throughout a large part of the world, SECRET POLICE are again breathing down the necks of individual men. There are concentration camps for Indi viduals who speak out of turn. .' DESPOTISM (which means death for freedom of the Indi- ..vidua!) is again on the march. ... AMERICA today is the bulwark against this renewed march of despotism.

BUT carry in the back of your mind the knowledge that ONLY IF AMERICA REMAINS STRONG at this latest crisis in history can you and your chil dren remain free to do as you please. The way for America lo slay strong is for Americans lo WORK AS A TEAM. K we ever let our selves get split up inlu warring camps, we'll be a GONER and freedom of the Individual will be a goner along with us. THE THUNDER RIYER Baseball Fun to KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System 1440 Kilocycles By CHARLES V. STANTON Roseburg was splendidly depicted in pictures and feature articles in the magazine section of Sunday's Oregon Journal. Comment concerning the meaning of the word "Umixjua," in a brief editorial, however, might leave confusion in the minds of some readers. According to the best obtainable information, the word "Umpqua" means "thunder." The word comes, it is be lieved, from the roaring sound of the Umpqua River in its upper readies the hunting grounds of the Jndians -who in habited the area, and who likened the sound of the river's cascades to the summer electrical storms which so frequently sweep over the high mountains. Lewis A. McArthur, noted Oregon historian, in his Oregon Geographic Names, gives the original spelling as Umptqua, ascribed to David Douglas, Scotch naturalist, who in 1824 made a journey into the area to study the tree which now bears his name the Douglas fir. Other early-day explorers brought back different phonetic spellings Yampequaw, Umkwa, -Impqua, etc. Authority for the interpretation rests upon long study and inquiry made by the late Congressman Ringer Hermann, who spent much time in tracing origin of the title so promi nently used in this area. The late Mr. Hermann gave a great deal of time to local historical research, and interviewed many of the older In dians and early settlers in determining origin of the name. Translation of the word Umpqua as "thunder" has logic in its behalf. Through the ages the river has cut a deep rock gorge in crossing what was once a mountain plateau. Lemola and Toketee falls are in this gorge, while the river plunges over many rapids, as it drops from the 4,000-foot level to the valley floor in a distance of only about 40 miles. As one stands on Caps Hlahee, Pine Bench, Oak Flats, Fish Creek desert, or other scenic spots on the plateau's rim, the sound of the turbulent river rises to the ear as the continuous rum bling of distant thunder, it was on this plateau that Indians assembled in the late summer and fall to hunt and fish, lay ing by their stores for the winter months. On Caps Ulahee still may be seen traces of the race track where Southern Oregon tribes gathered for their fall rendezvous, and gam bled their food, horses and squaws upon the speed of their ponies. That the Umpqua horses were not too fast is evi denced by the fact that their owners lost most of the venison and fish they dried, while the tribe was decimated by epi demics resulting from eating decayed fish, as they were forced by starvation to eat carcasses of deatl, spawned sal mon. The Klamath and Rogues won so many squaws that population of the Umpqua tribe dwindled rapidly. , Rut as the Indians listened to the niutteriiigs of a distant storm over the vast crater of Mt. Mazama, while' light'hiAg' grounded vividly on the granite peaks of Thiolsen and Bailey, they could hear, too, even on peaceful days, the echo of celes tial bombardment from the depths of the river canyon. And so they called it "Umpqua" the Thunder river. In more recent years an overenthusiastic chamber of com merce secretary started the story that "Umpqua" meant "I Am Satisfied," and the slogan was broadcast far and wide, loiter, a metropolitan reporter, presumably suffering from a hangover and feeling that he had been gouged in certain financial transactions at Roseburg, originated from whole cloth the story that the word "Umpqua" was used to hail boatmen to secure a river crossing and that it meant "Come Across," which he used to describe what he termed exhorbi tant charges to which he allegedly fell victim. Thus two nnnlern versions of the word originated. Rut if you doubt the more logical interpretation, go some day to the lllahee guard station. Stand there on that mighty plateau and look out upon the granite face of Kagle Rock, or toward towering crags, below which nestle those glorious gems of the Cascades, Twin Lakes. Or let your eyes rest upon the waving wheat field where your mind's eye can reconstruct a mile-long race track, surrounded by Indian tepees, the gathered clans, anil the festivity of the fall cele bration. Ami while your imagination recreates the din of thousands of excited Redmeu, as ponies kick dust clouds from the race course and dogs, roused to a frenr.y of barking by the excitement, add their voices to the chorus, let your ears attune themselves to the never-ceasing rumble as the mighty Umpqua the Thunder river strains for escape from the rocky gorges which contain its course to the sea. in uo in is iti .in tl 00- 7 oo It K MA1NINO 1IOI RS llU.f t - Fulton Lewis. .Ir. i- Frmik tlrmlngway. ) Flit Frolics.

I Nine Plays Chiefs Some gala baseball should be on the bill for fans at Finlay Kield tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock when the San Diego Tigers appear against the Ump qua Chiefs. The Tigers claim no titles, but get their biggest 'kick' in knocking off top-flight clubs of supposedly championship cali bre. Ow ner - Manager Edgar Alex ander has gathered some of the outstanding players of organised Negro baseball in the regular lineup. A feature of the club will bo the playing of Pete Alexander, said to be one of Negro sports' greatest personalities and ath letes, who is capable of doing everything a good professional player is expected to perform, despite his having but one arm. His catching and throwing is said lo be marvelous to watch. He is a slippery base-runner, and his batting is dangerous. Some of the fireworks of the Californians are displayed by the Mexicans on the team. Floyd (Jornez at third base is one of the fleeiest players to grace the 'dia mond from south of the border". Running mates of his are Beto Mindez, pitcher, and Outfielder Sal as. Another outstanding player to be seen tomorrow afternoon with the Tigers is Outfielder Johnny Johnson, formerly of the New Orleans Black Pelicans, who has hit 23 home runs this season. The fun begins as the Tigers take the field. Their pepper games, warm-up stunts, and var ious comical actions are combin ed with their incessant chatter throughout the preliminary work outs. ) Admission for this exhibition contest, the fourth to be brought here this year by the Chiefs, is adults $1 and students 50c.

Mutual Don Lee Space Requests Point to Record Livestock Show One hundred thirty-seven live stock breeders from eight west ern states and Canada have flooded the Pacific International Livestock Exjiosition offices in Portland with advance requests for stalls and pens. This is so far ahead of the years previous that a new record is in the making this far in advance of the show according to Walter Holt, man ager of the exposition which is scheduled for October 3-11. A warning to old friends and exhibitors of the P. I. that stall space will become very scarce if the present high tide of demand continues was issued by Holt. He urged that all who intend to show send in word at once concerning their interests to avoid disap pointment. Dairy cattle exhibitors led the field with notices of intent to show more than 600 head. This does not include dual purpose cattle which totalled 128. Thirty - three cattle breeders have written in stating intent to compete this October with 300 blue bloods listed by the exposi tion staff for shipment to Port land. The largest number of requests came from California breeders. The furthest distance heard from were inquiries concerning two brown Swiss herds in Minnesota and Nevada. Other states heard from included Utah, Idaho, Wash ington, Montana, Oregon and British Columbia. "The outlook is very optimistic lo fill every stall in the huge 11 acre building of the Pacific Inter national," Walter Holt, manager, stated. "It is apparent already that even the additional facilities of stock yard pens adjacent to our barns will bo taxed to provide pens for carloads of fat animals and feeders." This will be the 37th annual showing of the Pacific Interna tional, making it one of the oldest cattle shows in America. sibility for the hold-up, but Pa trolmen Jake Winter and Ben Milan said he was carrying the money.
