"You cannot argue an umpire's opinion," he emphasized. "The umpire runs tin game the players do not run the umpire, he added.

Phone 121 a em a g m m vm ra Fishery Possibilities Of Umpqua Basin Stressed By Biologist Ross Newcomb Anticipation by individuals or groups of the same kind of industrial development here as in the East, without an effort being made to avoid the same destruction of natural, self-maintaining, renewable resources as occurred there, "never ceases to amaze" Ross Newcomb, resident biologist for the State Game Commission. Newcomb, In charge of the Umpqua River study, spoke to the Roseburg Chamber of Com merce Monday noon at the Ump qua Hotel. He was introduced to the audience by Charles V. Stan ton, editor of The News-Review. Newcomb's comprehensive speech was entitled, "Possibilities for the Umpqua Fisheries." "It seems to me to be of para mount importance thnt this sub jectthe fishery possibilities be considered for the whole drain age basin," said Newcomb, "Not Just from the standpoint of Rose burg, or Rccdsport, or any other section. And furthermore, it must be considered from a long-term standpoint." Looking to the dav when sur plus timber in this area shall have been cut, and the Industry oper ating on a sustained yield basis, Newcomb pointed out that part of the economic emphasis can be switched to fish and wildlife "also on a sustained yield basis." Opportunities Cited Newcomb declared there Is room for "several small vacation resorts and a dude ranch or two." The river also needs a good guide s"rvlce, he said, because many people, disappointed at their lack of angling success, are "woefully Ignorant as to how the stream should be worked." There Is "certainly plenty of room for more and belter" tour ist and short-slay guest accom modations along the river. With completion of the Diamond Lake Highway, it Is "quite likely" that private capital will "Jump at the opportunity," he said. It would be wise, he pointed out, to try to attract operators with ideas which are in harmony wun tne area development he fore Interior establishments get a .FIGHTS LAST NIGHT Sfcwcf-ouf ?etv trucks, thjow-cost mYeagc iMMTi I fir; 1 zrzz m ' chance at the best locations. Newcomb said he also saw an opportunity for a few individuals to operale private boat moorages at some future time. There is also a "crying need" for more public boat and motor rental facilities in tidewater. As adjuncts to these things, there should "certainly be a good market" for locally made files, spinners, rods, and other tackle, and for live bait. People attract ed here by these activities will add to the Income of Douglas County. Pollution, Erosion Cited Two of the leading reasons for decimal ion of fish runs are pollu tion and soil erosion. The Rose burg area it "the most important spot" needing immediate atten tion, Newcomb declared. He said he personally believes that annex ation of surrounding areas Is the "proper first step" toward solu tion of the sanitary problem. He a urged that the Chamber of Com-1 merce act on the annexation prob- I lem. Soil losses through destruc-j live logging practices and attend ant soil erosion also are an B important factor, he said. jfl Newcomb envisioned a plan ning council "a little Umpqua ! I Valley Authority of our own" I which would educate the public in the matter of preserving fish life In the river, and to aid toward I maintaining the balance between soil and water. The council might include membership of chambers of commerce, banks and loan agencies, the Rod and Gun Club, the logging Industry, the Grange, and the County Court, as well as the State Game Commission, For est Service, and the Bureau of Land Management.

UMPQUA VALLEY A Home-Owned and Operated Store Bosox Wrangle With Umpire In Losing To Nats By JOE REICHLER (Associated Press Sports Writer! The muffled explosions you may hear in the distance are possibly the sound of big-league managers flipping their lids. This seems to be the season for It. Burt Shotton of Brooklyn and Joe McCarthy of the Boston Red Sox, two of the milder master minds, are the latest to blow off steam. After watching his charges drop three straight to the Braves in Boston, Shotton really .ex ploded Sunday. He ripped into his players with a tongue-lashing the likes of which they had not heard, since the departure of Leo Durocher. McCarthy's explosion came yesterday, but his tirade was directed at the umpires. It came about after the final out was made in the Washington-Boston fame, won by the Senators, 2. Plate Umpire Joe Paparella had just ruled that the final out was made before the po tential tying run had crossed the plate. This brought McCar thy and the entire Boston team out on the diamond, protesting that Tom O'Brien had crossed the plate before Lou Stringer was tagged after rounding sec ond on pinch hitter Sam Mele's single.

Of course, the decision stood. Yesterday's triumph enabled the Nats to deadlock the Phila delphia Athletics for fourth place in the American League. They trail the front-running Yankees by three games. The seventh place Sox are now five games off the pace. Mickey Haefner pitched an eight-hitter for his third triumph.
