Tonight's Debate
Tonight will see the end of the series of debates
carried on over the eastern half of the state of Oregon
for the pat couple of weeks by Congressman Sam Coon
and Senator Richard L. Neuberger.
We have deliberately refrained from commenting
. on the series until we have had a chance to see the local
production. The Oregon press, particularly in town in
which the debates have been scheduled, have been full
of it. however.
Don't bv any means wait to hear about this from
someone else. The doors to the Kenwood school gymnas
- ium open at 7 p. m. and the talkkin' starts at 8 p. m.
Better get your seat early.
Police Court (jg)
John T. (for Taylor) Truett, Bend's idea-minded
Chief of Police, has come up with what should be another
bell-ringer.
(We've been greatly impressed with the good ideas
fathered by Truett since he became Chief of the city's
police department. The big trouble is that other people
have been impressed, too, and one of these days some
other city is going to make him an offer he can't turn
down. Some lesser offers have ben made already.)
John's idea, as reported in Wednesday's Bulletin, is
to have a junior-grade police court session on each Sat
urday morning. To the court will come youngsters cited
- by the police or violations of ordinances covering the
riding of bicycles in the city limits.
The idea is sound. The youngsters will not be mixed
in with standard run of vagrants and drunks who inhabit
most polic courts. Municipal Judge Alvin Gray will pre
side over the court, and will pass sentence on the young
offenders.
They will not, however, be sentenced to jail terms.
They will not be sentenced to pay fines for their viola
tions. They will be remanded (that's a two-bit word
meaning paroled) to the city police.

this:

Old Lumber Mill Closes
(Allninu Democrat-Herald)
One of the old lumber mills after another is going
out of. business these days. Now it's the old Walters
Uushong Lumber Co. at Eugene, suspending after 53
years of operation in that city.
"Reasons for the closure," the Register-Guard's news
story quotes a part-owner as saying, "arc the scarcity
of timber for the rough mills for which the firm is de
pendent, taxes and other considerations."
The detail that interests us most at this distance is
"the scarcity of timber for the rough mills." This fac
tor, chiefly, has closed down a good many lumber manu
facturing, plants in this area in the last few years. This
does not show in the production statistics, since the
larger concerns, with larger stands of timber on which
to draw, are not suffering and are taking up the slack
left by the suspension of the smaller mills. It is re
flected, however, in the decline of some once thriving
small towns.
Students of the lumber situation are pointing out
that the closing of little "rough mills" in the smaller
places may provide us with some ghost towns in Ore
gon if no way can be found to provide industries to
take the place of the mills.
Oregon, heaviest lumber producer of all the states in
the union, is showing signs of depletion of supply in
various areas. "Sustained yield," with tree-farming and
more enlightened use of the raw material, will maintain
the lumber industry but not at the present rate of pro
duction. To avoid the inevitable slump when production levels
off, Oregon is going to have o do more intensive manu
facluring of its raw materials. There is no reason why
such a heavy proportion of the more refined products
of wood must permanently be made in I lie east involv
ing the shipping of the raw material east and then
sending the manufactured goods back to us.
In the meantime, the more immediate suffcivi
the changing supply conditions is the small saw mi
with no timber reserve back of him.
