Broken springs, smashed fenders, bent bumpers and grills, punctured oil puns and gas tanks, cracked differential hous ings and similar damage jobs are keeping mechanics busy. Scarred automobiles are victims of the extensive road construction projects in Douglas county and few people are complaining. Talking to a driver, who had just negotiated "no man's land" on the North Umpqua route, while he was ruefully examining a bent fender and bumper on a new car, we ex pected a bit of profanity and violent criticism of road con tractors in general, but, instead, the motorist looked up with a smile and said, "It's sure going to be nice when we get this road paved to Steamboat." Construction is in progress simultaneously over a six mile stretch of the North I'mpqua road east from Rock Creek, and a contract has just been let for the next section, which will leave about nine miles torn up. And when we say "torn up" that's exactly what we mean. Negotiating this six-mile stretch is a low-gear job and one which puts excessive strain on a motor vehicle. High centers, boulders, chuck holes and narrow, uneven grades make travel extremely difficult. Work is in progress day and night. Week end travel is somewhat better, as con tractors are most obliging in trying to smooth out a fairlv decent road to permit recreational use of the North Umpqua country over Sunday. During Other days of the 8 a. m. until noon. Traffic is permitted to flow briefly during the noon hour, and the road is closed again from 1 to 6 p. m. Traffic after 6 p. m. is held up occasionally for brief periods, but workers are extremely courteous in helping cars through sections where construction is in progress. Conditions on the Tiller-Trail cut-off job are improving. Most of the grading has been finished on the latter contract. While the roadbed is rough, it is neither as dangerous as the North Umpqua section, nor is it as hard on the vehicle. Heavy ballast now is being laid, however, which cuts speed to a crawl and makes caution necessary to avoid damage from the large rocks being used material. Difficulties of travel are not stopping use of either the Tiller-Trail or the North Umpqua routes. Forest camps are well filled during week days and find ing a camping spot is extremely difficult on week ends. Road conditions are not even stopping tourist travel. It will not be too many years until we will have an nil year rond between Roseburg and Diamond lake. Work now in progress east of Rock Creek is projected through to Steamboat Ranger station and will be pushed as rapidly as possible. After next year the new work will follow a new grade and it will be possible to traverse the existing road and thus avoid the sections where construction is in progress. A very fine highway will be furnished to Susan creek. Improve ments also are being made at Steamboat, where a new con crete and steel bridge is under construction with approaches being built at each end. The forest service plans to move its present station to the peninsula between the North Umpqua river and Steamboat creek as soon as the bridge is finished. On the Diamond lake end a private logging road is being built on highway standards. The forest service is cooperat ing in construction of the road which eventually will be incorporated in the North Umpqua highway system. The logging road now is nearing the edge of Fish creek desert. When work now outlined is completed at both ends rf the road, there will remain only the section from Steamboat creek to Fish creek, a distance of about 20 miles, needing reconstruction to provide a fine east-west highway. So long as highway development is progressing, there will be little complaint about tlve difficulties of travel. We are willing to make sacrifices if we see as a reward the long desired highway along the North Umpqua river. U. S.

China Warns On Operations Of British Warships CANTON, Aug. 20.-PChlna Drotested today that British war ships, displaying a bellicose atti tude toward nationalist naval units, had violated Chinese terri torial waters. The protest was handed to the British embassy by the Chinese foreign office as these develop ments came swiftly ln the Asian mainland war: 1. Foochow, big port opposite Formosa, fell to the Reds. 2. The nationalists admitted withdrawing from the Miao is lands, 210 miles east of Tientsin. The islands had been used by nationalist naval units to block ade northern communist held oorti. 3. Communist armies mount ed a big offensive In Hunan prov ince. 4. Americans and other for eigners fled from Canton. The U. S. consulate general expects to be closed by tomorrow. The Chinese note of protest to Great Britain was given to John ..ognill, embassy representative :n Canton. The note warned Britain against repetition. It said the Bri tish destroyer Concord was sight ed off the mouth of the Yangtze river in territorial waters on Julv 31. After dark, the dest rover mov ed into the mouth of the river, the note said. (The Concord that night kept a rendezvous with the British sloop Amethyst, which had been held on the Yangtze between Shang hai and Nanking for months by Communist shore guns. The Am ethyst escaped in a running fight down the wide river. The Chinese note said that any British warship entering terri torial waters must have the ap proval of the nationalist govern ment. Fall of Foochow was first an nounced by the official Central News agency from Talpeh, capi tal of Formosa. At the same time, an army spokesman in Canton vigorously asserted the big port city still was in the hands of nationalist forces. The spokesman warned newsmen, especially oreign cor respondents, they were liable to arrest if they publish "false news." Melrose By NETTIE WOODRUFF Mr. and Mrs. N. L.

Inspired by his recent trip to the dark continent, Adrian has designed a series of fashions that look like everything from cus tumes of native chieftains to cold, sleek cobras. Tiger stripes and leopard spots dazzled the eye at Adrian's fall fashion showing here. One outfit, a sleek hooded suit of cobra like material, with long tapering gloves, is startlingly reminiscent of the venomous rep tile. Another costume, dressed up with braid and tassels, looks like a fuzzy-wuzzy native. Long fringe and braids make another look In the Middle Ages only kings were permitted to own swan, which were part of the regalia of European courts. INVESTORS STOCK FUND, INC.
