APPROVES RATE HIKE WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Federal Communications Commis sion authorized Western Union this week to raise its rates for domestic public messages by 10 per cent. The new rates will provide an estimated $16.5 million in added annual revenues for Western Union. Roseburg Area Economy Good Despite Strike The overall economy in the Rose burg area for June continued at a level comparable to that for May, considering that approximate ly 350 workers are involved in a la bor dispute directly affecting the lumber and wood products indus try. This was the summation of F. C. Riley, manager of the Roseburg of fice of the Oregon State Employ ment Office, in his monthly report. Construction activities continued at a high level. An increase was noted compared to May as well as June 1962. Wholesale and retail trade activities are below what is usually expected for this time of year, and this is largely attribu table to the untimely cool and somewhat adverse weather. During June 86 young people un der 22 years were placed in va rious types of employment by the local office. The active file of job applicants numbered 639 individu als, both young people and adults. The majority of these are in the semi-skilled, clerical and sales and service occupations. Persons who can use one of these wokers is asked by Riley to call his office. 673-5586 or visit the office at 846 SE Pine St. New job applicants numbered 296, compared with 267 in May and 442 in June a year ago. There were 190 job placements compared with the same in May and 183 in June of 1962. Initial unemployment claims stood at 377, compared with 624 and 321, respectively, and the average weekly number who claim ed a week of joblessness was 423, 816 and 470. Roseburg had the lowest per cent of insured unemployment among listed Oregon cities, compared with the average covered employment. This percentage figure was 3.4, as against 3.8 four weeks ago, 3.5 a year ago, 4.3 two years ago and 3.1 three years ago. The Roseburg total was below that of the state at 3.9, Grants Pass at 4.7; North tsena .i ana Eugene 7.2. Sonny Commons Will Manage Arctic Circle E. G. (Sonny) Commons arrived In Roseburg earlier this w t k from Idaho to make arrangements for the opening within another week or so of what will be known as Sonny's Arctic Circle. The building to house the busi ness Is now being constructed on W. Harvard Blvd. on the north side of the street in the vicinity of itoseDurg mgn scnooi. The business is owned by the Arctic Circle, Inc., with headquar ters in Salt Lake City, and will be operated by Commons. It will feature primarily ice cream prod ucts, along witn chicken, ham burgers and soft drinks. Commons said the place will employ up to 12 persons in peak periods on two shifts. The block building was erected at a building permit figure of $15,900, but another $18,000 worth of equipment is being installed. This is in addition to the property cost.

Crcstview Dr. They formerly liv ed at American Falls, Idaho, where they operated a wheat farm. They have sold the farm. Roseburg will be served with na tural gas by fall of this year. Oth er Douglas County cities along the gas line to be built from Eugene can expect the service in 1964. This was the information trom Al Parr. Roseburg manager for California- Pacific Utilities, and J. S. Richards, gas engineer, working out of the Medford office. Rich ards was in Roseburg this week checking over plans for local con struction, and will be spending con siderable time here during t h e next three months. El Paso Gas Co. has started con struction on a multi-million acinar line to connect with a previously constructed gas line at Eugene and extend south through Cottage Grove, into Douglas County. The line will in general follow the Bon neville and Pacific Power 4t Light Co. rights of way south. To be constructed are three miles of 16-inch and 125 miles of 10-inch lines, which will run about two miles west of Sutherlin, and west of Winchester to cross the North Umpqua River near t h e Roseburg Country Club. It will then cross the South Umpqua River at the Melrose road about 3.5 miles west of the Roseburg city center or one-half mile west of the city limits. The line then will go south to the Winston-Dillard area, west of Myrtle Creek, east of Canyon ville and on south to Grunts Puss. The line at the latter city will nnnnrt with another now under construction to Ashland, a distance of 56 miles. El Paso plans to spend 7(4 mil lion dollars on its main line and Cal-Pac another 5la million over n fivp.vpflr period to hook up the respective communities along the way and expana service. 1 u Grants Pass - Ashland line is cost ing another l'i million dollars. Parr made it cicar mui umj Roseburg in Douglas County will get natural gas this year, some time around Sept. 15, when the construction work is expected 10 be completed this far. The line then will be activated with that of existing city lines, which wero converted during a major re-construction program here in 1962.

(News-Review photo) Market Outlook Is Mixed For Logs, Lumber, Cones The open market for logs in Western Oregon is beset by a number of uncertainties, but ap pears generally fiivoruble for the next six months with demand ex pected to remain fairly high, says C. F. Sutherland, Oregon State University extension forest economics specialist, in the new Oregon farm and Market Out look. Copies of the outlook cir cular are now availablo from county extension offices. Housing economists predict con struction during the remainder of 1963 will match the pace set in 1962 when builders erected almost a million singlo family dwellings, he said. Canadian competition continues to be a primary factor affecting Oregon lumber and log prices, lie es for lumber and plywood high- Arthur Crossley Takes Loan Company Position ers shipped 1.3 billion board feet of lumber into the United States to mark a gain of 1.6 percent over the ycar-ago level. Salot Tax May Hurt A new Canadian manufactu rers' sales lax of 11 per cent on all consfructlon materials used in Canada may shift more of that country's lumber into the export trade, Sutherland warned. The October blowdown continues to hang over the industry as owners push to beat insects to the affected areas. Paradoxically, Sutherland said, the labor dispute may actually improve the mar ket for the small owners' tim ber. The strike has pushed pric- the first of next week, is expected ltc(l ,n tho th.st mr mon(hs ot to be completca mrougn 10 umm lg63i Canadian softwood produc rass oy uciouer. iiuww' pressure reducing gate stations will be located on the line adjacent to Sutherlin to serve the Sutherlin Oakland area; at Winchester.. Hose burg, Dillard, Myrtle Creek for the Myrtle Creck-lliddle area; Can yonville and Glendale. Service to these cities, except Roseburg, will ia mr,A time in 1964, as thoso towns have no facilities within the city to be activated. , The Roseburg gate station for metering and pressure reducing Will be located on a 30-by-40 foot tract on the Melrose road, where a I6 by-20-foot building will be erected inside a fenced and land scaped area. Here pressure will be reduced from about 125 to 25 pounds for local consumption. P M Lino 10 IITV ivmor An 8-inch line will be laid in the ground from the station along the 1 Melrose lloaa anu casi on n. imi vard Blvd. to the vicinity of the Stewart Park - Veterans Hospital road. A six-inch line will continue into the Cal-Pac plant al uaK ana Spruce Streets. Alter natural gas is mane rcauy, the nlant facilities at that site will be dismantled. The large pro pane tanks at the plant site will : be used only for rural lank gas operation. , Construction on tne Hoscourg une and other facilities will start about Aug. 1, said Richards. About $130, 000 will be spent for the city serv ice, broken down as follows: 8-inch line 2.5 miles, $80,000 ; 6-inch line, 1.3 miles. $32,000. total $112,000. The Roseburg gate station on the Melrose Road will cost anotner $18,000, and the Roseburg plant modification, $10,000. er and shitted production to the smaller mills which are always more activo in the open market lor logs. Hardwoods will probably con tinue to move well in most West ern Oregon counties, Sutherland said. Furniture sales have been excellent and are expected to ap proach 1962, a record year in the industry. Hardwood lumber pro ducers have been pressed to find an adequate supply of high qual ity logs to meet the demand for alder and maple furniture stock, he noted. Seed Prices Good Prices for Douglas fir seed should be fairly high this year since supplies will be scarce, he continued. Commercial seed buy ers and OSU geneticists forecast a very poor crop ot Douglas fir seed in Northwest Oregon this fall. jOh production of female cones plus poor pollination hecausc ot a wet. cold spring reduced pro duction and insects have attacked much that remains, he reported A strong market is expected next fall for high quality Christ mas trees, particularly for cul lured Douglas fir. A ready mar ket should also be available for grand fir and Oregon shore pine. The major markets for Oregon producers will continue to be in California, although the Portland area will provide an important outlet for many producers, Suth erland said.
