PAGE SEVEN ANGLING IS BEST Tha following recreational bulle tin was Issued today by Rogue River national forest headquarters: "Reports from the outlying dis tricts on the Rogue R4ver national forest Indicate that fishing in the smeller streams la rather poor at this time. "Best success has been had during the past week at the more Inacces sible lakes of high elevation such as Seven lakes, Pour-mile lake and Lake Harrlette. A number of very good catches have been made recently at Rocky Point. Andy Reeker spoona snd various types of wooden plugs are favorite lures. "Huckleberries are ripening at Lake of the Woods, Blue Canyon and Huckleberry mountain, but the crop Is reported as generally scant. "At this season of the year the drive to Blue Rock lookout In the Butte Fails district Is an easy and enjoyable route to the summit of the Cascades at a point near many small mountain lakes. To reach Blue Rock, turn off the Crater Lake highway 16 miles' north of Medford onto the Butte Falls road. At Butte Falls, a forest guard will be on duty at the ranger station office where any desired additional Information regarding the trip may be secured, i 'Continuing from Butte Falls in an easterly direction the route takes you past a lookout tower which was constructed by the CCCs for occu pancy during periods of smoky weather. "The South Fork CCC camp Is within one-fourth mile of this road and either the camp commander or the project superintendent will glad ly show you the camp If you have 1 few minutes extra time. "From the CCO camp the road winds through an area from whlcb the timber was sold by the govern ment about ten years ago and Is an example of selective logging as prac ticed by the forest service with young timber and seed trees left for future use. From this cut-over area you pass through a large brush field which Is the result of a large fire in 1910 known as the Cathlll burn. This fire burned over several tboU' sand acres of what was once a beau Wul stand of virgin fir and pine timber. Experimental plantings are now being made to determine the feasibility of restocking this area. "The lookout at the end of this road Is at an elevation of 6,503 feet. The guard on duty will be glad to point out the lakes and peaks which can be seen from here and also ex plain the lookout's Job and the for est service fire detection system. "Huckleberries are now ripe and may be found near this lookout sta tion. The crop Is reported as being poor this year. "There are seven lakes In the nearby basin which may be seen from the lookout. Round lake, a half mile from the road, and Blue lake, two miles, can be reached by an easy hike on a good trail. "Leaving Blue Rock, if you still have two hours to spare, you may drive north through virgin timber and across several tributaries of the middle and south forks of Rogue river, past the Xmnaha guard station to Prospect on the Crater Lake high' way, a distance of 36 miles to Pros pect and 47 mites from there to Medford. "The two fires which occurred in the Qreensprlngs area recently were apparently started by careless acts of smokers. Both threatened vain able stands of timber and could have been disastrous fires. The most crit ical part of the fire season Is yet ahead of us. Let's keep our forests green and our skies clear by being careful with fire." SAILOR IS KILLED refugees down the river to board the liner President Hoover for Manila. Admiral Yernell had told the Japanese navy bluntly that United States vessels would navigate the whangpoo whenever and however he desired without reference to anyone. ThU was In reply to a Japanese request that American naval au thorities give the Japanese advance notice whenever they wished to navi gate the Whang poo after dark. American property suffered heavily the battle for Shanghai. In Its second week, became increasingly destructive of life and wealth. The American answer was the sec ond time In as many days American officials had told the Japanese navy It must keep bands off the right of the United States to unrestricted use of the Whangpoo the only avenue of escape for Americans and other for elcners fleelnc the battle between China and Japan for Shanghai. Admiral Yarnell declared his ships would always execute normal navi gation procedure and at night would take precautions to insure that re quired running lights were tunc tlonlng. On both banks of the wnangpoo crack divisions of the Chinese and Japanese armies were .deadlocked in one of the greatest battles in tne history of the far east. unitary observers estimated that upwexos 01 1&0.000 troops were engaged, with the Japanese fighting a desperate defensive to keep from being pushed Into the river, pha RhothnUNnnklnff railroad sta tlon, together with the government railway headquarters wnivn waa ic k.,n aftAF it destruction In the '1932 Slno-Japanese war, was reported to have suffered severely. pootung in Flames Tv, whni Pnntuns waterfront, Uminj industrial area lust across t.hm river from the heart of Shanghai, was In flames, the result of heavy bombing of Japanese properties oy Chinese planes. a lanze section of the Hongkew district to the north was burning furiously.

War Comes Closer The war came closer to Americans In Shanghai as Japanese shells fell on the border of the French conces sion where most American residents have their homes and Chinese shells plunged into the Whangpoo near the cruiser Augusta. Three big caliber shells, apparently from batteries In Chapel, northern Shanghai, nearly struck the Augusta as she lay in the river a little down stream from the heart of the Inter national settlement. Most of her crew of 800 took shel ter Delow decks. At dark, a Japanese cruiser with all her lights olanked out anchored close behind the Augusta, apparently pre paring to bombard Chinese shore positions In Pootung during the darkness. A Japanese warship similarity dark ened fired from a position close to the Augusta Wednesday night. The Shanghai International was rocked as if in an earthquake by the savage artillery duel over the Whangpoo. Chinese batteries well to the south of the settlement were exchanging shells with Japanese war ships on the river and projectiles screamed over the forelgnhe!d parts of the city. . Fourth American Killed The sailor casualty was the fourth American to be killed In the eight days of war in Shanghai. Three United States citizens died last Sat urday when misplaced Chinese air oombs wrecked buildings in the ' ternattonal area and killed more than a thousand persons. The projectiles whizzed close to The Associated Preaa office. Three Chinese planes roared over Pootung. across the Whangpoo from the French concession, and dropped eight bombs on Japanese -owned wharves, warehouses and cotton mills, which burst into flames. Japanese pursuit ships raced to ward the lumbering bombers. One of the Chinese planes caught fire from machine-gun bullets and crashed. Chinese forces, attempting to drive the Japanese into the Whangpoo river, apparently held the Japanese along the river's banks In north eastern Shanghai. Chinese artillery repulsed a Japanese effort to land a flanking detachment at Liuho, 12 miles northwest of Shanghai. 1 Consulate Menaced Flames menaced the Soviet and Japanese consulates and the famous Astor House hotel. Japanese naval sources declared the Chinese fired the houses to cover a retreat, but other sources said Jap anese had fired many Hongkew build ings to smoke out the Chinese. Independent reports from the bat tle area said Chinese had not yielded an Inch of their gains, and that the Chinese attack had split the Japanese lines. Far to the north of Shanghai, Chi nese armies, at least 100.000 strong, were reported to have launched a general offensive to wrest from Jap anese Invaders conquered areas of north China. The northern assault was designed to force Japanese armies out of Tientsin and Pet ping. Chiang Is Mayor A Japanese anouncement from Pel ping said octogenarian Oeneral Chiang Chao-Tsung, formerly chair man of the Japanese created peace preservation committee, had assumed mayoralty of the city. Appointment of Chiang was Inter preted by foreigners as meaning pos sible return of the old Manchu irglme, extending the domain of Manchoukuo southward Into north China under Japan's protection. Chinese mobs grew Increasingly threatening. French soldiers mount ed machine guns about the Japanese ambassador's residence in the French eon cession. Fearing the Chinese might attempt to rush the building, the French ordered the steel gates barred and placed armed guards on every corner in the vlcinty.
