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

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.

second week, became increasingly
destructive of life and wealth.
The American answer was the sec

officials had told the Japanese navy

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

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.
