As she sat poised on the ledge,
dangling her legs, a large crowd
gathered In the street. Firemen
spread a net, and police officers,
reporters and photographers
poked their heads out of windows
on the 10th floor.
She remained defiant, and
turned a deaf ear to the persua
sive arguments of firemen and po
lice. "I can't disappoint my pub
lic," she shouted.
i Finally, as she cupped her face
in her hands, Assistant Fire Chief
George Courser and Dion Crocker,

ledge and grabbed her. They
dragged her in, kicking and fight

WORLD'S GREATEST TRAVEL
Oregon, Wednesday Morning,
Guerillas Still
Fighting Japan
Manchoukuo Bandit Bands
Active After Years of f
Japanese Effort
HSINKING,' Manchoukuo, Aug.
IS (ffV- Japanese army officers
admit Chinese irregulars still are
active in Manchoukuo after seven
years fighting to stamp them out.
They expect the "bandiC trou
ble, which they say is largely
communist inspired, to increase
when and if a war with Soviet
Russia occurs. ; -
Official figures state that the
bandit irregulars have been re
duced from an original 200,000 to
100,000. t .
Most of the irregulars' operate
nnder names of patriotic societies.
While a certain part of their ac
tivities may be dictated by eco
nomic necessity the need for
food and clothing their main ob
jective Is to war against Japan.
Equipment Modern
Hsinklng, capital of this Japanese-inspired
empire of 34,000,
000 people, and Harbin, one of its
chief cities, have museums exhib
iting bandit equipment which con
tains some of the latest articles
used by the Japanese army. Reli
able circles say -such things are
sold to irregulars by native Man
choukuo troops which Japanese
gradually are building up to help
Garrison the country. -
It has been reported widely,
but officially unconfirmed, that a
large force of Manchoukuoan
troops mutinied in Jehol province,
adjoining China proper, in Jane
and joined the Chinese army of
General Fu Tso-Yl, Suiyuan pro
vince warrior.
Japanese Cautions
Travel by rail through any part
of Manchoukuo shows that Jap
anese are taking constant precau
tions against irregular raids. All
trains are curtained at night. For
eigners find it virtually impossi
ble to obtain lower berths, pre
sumably because authorities want
to prevent them from signaling
through the windows or because
they wi&h foreigners to be pro
tected in case of attack, j
How much damage isolated ir
regular forces could accomplish
from the inside if the Japanese
army in Manchoukuo fights an
external war remains problemat
ical to observers. The fact that
they still exist after a seven-year
campaign against them suggests.
however, that they are determined
to paralyze communications and
other vital objectives as chance
permits.

stop him from working.
The 63-year-old smithy brought
his hammer down emphatically

"I could hire ten men - but I
can't find any blacksmiths who
will work.
"I didn't make a cent for eight
years. Now when I have so much
work I can't handle it alone they
want me to stop.

H. C- Dake, Portland . mineralo
gist, located today in the isolated
Trout creek aTea of Jefferson
county what he believed was the
largest fossil forest In the Pacific
northwest.
. He estimated it was larger than
the Ginkgo forest of Washington.
"There are dozens of denuded
trees standing in vertical - posi
tions, some with - upright - trunks
five feet and more ln.dlameter,7
Dake said.
He added that huge sections
were beautifully opalized logs snd
that there was considerable frag
mentary material scattered over
the grounds. He said there was
evidence the old forest grew on
the shore of a shallow lake, later
burled in volcanic ash, possibly
from the exploding cascades.
The opalized trees, he said, ap
peared to date from the mid-mio-cene
age, the epoch when three
toed horses, rhinos and ancestral
camels ranged here.
Owners of the stand, on the
Priday ranch, said preservation
steps would be taken before the
exact location of the forest was
divulged.

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 16-
-An analysjs of Oregon's public
power law to determine rights of
districts to distribute Bonneville
dam power was ordesed today by
Administrator i. D, Ross.
The Bonneville federation of
Oregon', an association of munici

Joseph W. Mc Arthur, superin
tendent of the Eugene water
board, told Ross, "If we are to
bring Bonneville power to our
homes and farms and stores at
cost, we must have districts ready
to distribute It.
"Washington, which has a
tested, well-drafted law. has 21
districts which are preparing to
acquire distribution systems to
serve their citizens. Although the
Oregon law is more than seven
years old,! we have only two small
districts, neither of which is sell
