Chemeketans oil Guard
! The Salem, Chemeketans will be bby scouts' ,
r again this year-oing .-a good "; turn for the ,
forest service.--Unable: because of war condi- ;
tiQns to hold their annual summer camp, the
Salem outdoor club will do as it did last, year
man a lookout for .the forest service in the
Willamette national forest. Their lookout sta
tion this year will be Gold" butte, which over
looks the pumbug basin and the canyon of the
Breitenbush river. Last year they took care of j
Battle Axe mountain station which is on the
peak above Elk lake in the North Santiam .
country. -' '' ' 1 .V -
i -A party of Chemeketans packed in last week
end and set up Adoiph Greenbaum as the look
but for the first week. Those scheduled to fol
low are Ann Foster Alta Delano, Homer Nor
dyke, Bessie Smith, Burt Crary, George Lewis,
Dorothy iliddleton. They' all . have had some
schooling in preparation for this duty. "Misses
Foster and Smith, Mrs. Middleton and George
Lewis did turns on Battle Axe last summer.
While they are "up top" these people will
live like hermits, chopping their . own . wood,
carrying water from a spring down the moun-
- tain, and cooking their own meals. Their orily
contact with the outside is by telephone. The
guard must be on active duty at all daylight
hours and at regular intervals make a check
look and report to the ranger office at Detroit.
The guard must also be prepared to go to put
out small fires that are nearby.
The forest service usually depends on hired
men, many of them college students, to do
forest guard work,, but now most of the young
men are in military ; service and older men are
employed in mills and camps. So it is using
volunteer groups to perform this service, and
has found in outdoor clubs a ready response
to its appeal. The Salem Chemeketans take al
most a proprietary ' interest in . the Santiam
country. They have climbed many of its peaks,
i hiked its wooded or rocky trails, camped along
its streams and lakes. These members feel they
are not only getting a fine mountain outing, but
doing a patriotic, dutyj in helping preserve the
forest resources of the state and the fine recre-
ation land of the Oregon, mountains. Ground--Jings
of ; the valley will both commend these
.volunteer ; lookouts-r-and envy them their ex
perience, j' : V jj'V: t : '! '"" ' .

The Chinese had planned
recognition of winding up the seventh year Of
, the Japanese wan In this country special ef
fort was made that the anniversary of the day
of the Japanese attack on ! Marco Polo bridge
near Peiping di4 : not pass without notice. The
summer had been discouraging to China. At
long last the Japs had overrun Changsha again,
this time 'seemingly to hold it securely. They
had Hengyang invested. It seemed certain they
would march on down the railroad from Han
kow to Canton and seat off east China from
the capital at Chungking and obtain for them
selves a land line of communication between
Manchuria and north China and south China.
But on this 7-7-7 day, the seventh day. of
the seventh month and the seventh year of the
war, the Chinese armies did the seemingly in
credible, they broke the Jap siege of Hengyang
and sent the Jap armies reeling in retreat. All
the Chinese have is manpower, rifles, a few
machine guns and mortars, and : the gallant
assistance ; of the 14th American air force. It
seems almost a miracle that again they have
turned back the Japs who were determined to '
salvage some victory to crow about in this
. year of 1944.
The same day too, American super-bombers
repeated their raid on the home island of
Japan, this time without loss of a single plane.
The Japs had launched their China drive hoping
to capture the bases used by these huge fort
resses, and they did force abandonment of the
Hangyang airfield.-But the great planes are
still able; to reach Japan, j
On 7-7-7 day the proverbial luck that attends
that number was definitely with the Chinese;
opportunity too, for China's position is more
desperate than; any time before in this long,
: agonizing struggle. ' :l j

Treasure Trove ' ' i;-!-- r :"y
.There is nothing; surprising about the Italian
police finding a treasure in paintings, pottery, sil
ver and liquor in the garage used by the mistress
of Roberto Farinacri, former secretary of the fas
cist party. Wherever the thievish party chiefs of
fascism and nazism have operated there .will be
caches of stolen goods of great -value. They stole
everything they could lay j hands on, hoodlums
suddenly; rolling in power and luxury., And Fari
na cci was one of the worst of the crooks. ,
-Judging by the- treasure in the garage, he was
generous to the ladies with what did not belong
to him. In this he contrasted with Fleury, the -chief
minister of. Louis XV, who was penurious and
meticulous with public funds, but personally a syb
arite of whom it was said ; that he was a great
expense to his mistress. San Francisco Chronicle.

War Bond drive buttons, they saved " , express

Just how many of these buttons the War Loan
committee' was supposed to pass out, the dispatch
from Los Angeles fails to state. The Los Angeles

a half century ago" some nuggets pt rare humor
But reprinted last week from the issue of July
5, 1894, i an extract from the speech of Chief,
Joseph at an Indian Fourth of July celebration
which deserves wider- printing. Chief . Joseph "
was the - Indian who led his Nez Perces war
riors in revolt against the whites' s for 'robbing:
them of their rich Indian lands.' His campaign
across Idaho and into Montana in his '' effort
to reach Canada was one of the ablest movel
ments in military history, according to General .
O. O. Howard who trailed the Indian band and
finally received Chief Joseph's surrender.; j
. The Indian chiefs had a real flair for oratoryj
Some of their addresses were'truly moving ins
their colorful rhetoric and emotional appeals.'
This from Chief Joseph, leader of the last great
rising of Indians in the northwest; breathes
deep sentiment and sincere reconciliation: .
The Indian Fourth of July celebration at the
agency1 was a marked success ..with .Immense
crowds of people attending. The gorgeous trap-;
pings of the Indians made a . sight to make a1
'tenderfoot" open wide his eyes with astonishment
and admiration. It was estimated that about 500
vehicles went to the agency from Pendleton and
other parts of the country, and that 3000 white
people attended. Chief Joseph was , the most con-:
spicuous among the Indians attending and he had
with him a number of his Nez Perce braves and
squaws. Bannocks and Snakes were there, also
the Umatillas, Cayuses and Walla Wallas. It was
late in the day when the parade commenced. Dur
ing the day Chief Joseph made a speech, saying:,
"We are brethren. We came from one common
ancestor. Our Great Spirit has put ; us all here,: '
and though once we resisted and took many scalps;
though once we sought to steal upon the settler in
midnight massacre and drive him from the domain
our fathers fought to maintain, yet we bless you.' .
Our warlike aspect means not war, The past is
dead and the future will always see us walking
side fey side with no trace of enmity. Loud ap-i
plause followed his speech, also ' a speech given
by Chief Peo. ' f
said to be giving Consideration
to a call for a special session to permit speed-;
ing up of ballot distribution to soldiers. A
special session is most generally avoided
wherever possible, and the governor will doubt-;
less seek to avoid one in this instance. However;
if there is to be any very general participation f
in the election on the part of soldiers the law.
should be changed to move forward the closing
dates on filing of candidates. , The margin is
too narrow for printing and delivery of the;
ballots unless there is perfect timing in all the:
operations. The governor will have to decide!
if the need justifies the call. - .! j
Those who griped because Ralph Cake has:
teamed up with Wendell Willkie and asserted
Oregon would be out in the cold if someone
else won . the republican nomination should;
take note that Cake has been named to the;
15-man executive committee of the party. The!
fact that he had capacity to be chosen as!
Willkie's manager makes him all the morej
desirable to the Dewey crowd. The first jobi
of a successful candidate is to heal wounds,
and that Is done by drawing in the ex-j
opposition. ". ;

Poland and the lower Baltic states from Brest
Litovsk to Dvinsk was not aided, by a German at- j
tempt to fall back slowly to the Bug-Baltic inner:

the war. - , j
. The Baltic states and Finland are all but lost

is rising to its crisis. Only commitment of major

ceivably could wall off Gen. Eisenhower's ever

Russian forces were less than 100 miles from
Germany's own frontiers In East Prussia at the

Your column! "It Seems -To

discussing, the proposed-consti-'

- be presented to; the electors of
Oregon. at the fall election.
' legislation is sought whereby
every citizen, having resided in
Oregon for five or more consecu-
- tive years, shall on attaining the -age
of 450 yeara. be entitled to
- a retirement " annuity provided
' he or she will abstain from gain
ful occupation. '
, The present system ot old age
assistance is . worse than a "dole
and recipients, 4o a very large

which Js not the design of the
law. jv'iCY
. it y admitted; that there are ;
those ampng the Indigent who -are
there because of their own :

The argument is advanced that,
' an income tax ot three per cent
will either put business, 'out of 'r
business ior it will be necessary
to pass this three! per cent tax on ,
to the consumer. It would be real

episodes are rare, very rare; and
. most unusual is it for anything
to happen, to the pleasure-bent

the circus going full swing to
.- the delight of thousands sudden

of tragedies,-, into a small-scale
Dante's inferno. Fire swept the
tent-top, racing almost on the
wings, of - light; precipitating
