SPECIAL FIRE CREW PLACED ON DUTY IN ROGUE RIVER FOREST Huckleberry Mountain Mouse Finds Strange Adventure in Beer Bottle . , Once there lived, a teeny-weeny mouse up on Huckleberry mountain. No matter what Its mother fed It, the little thing just stayed little. Probably It wasn't getting the right vitamins or enough of them. One day the utue mouse. crawled into a beer bottle that had been discarded on the moun. tainside. There was some Deer lpft inside. The little mouse took a swig and liked the stuff. So it stayed in the bottle, living on the rich malt, hops and yeast of the brew. When it finally wanted to get out of the bottle and go home. however, the little mouse wasn i little anv Ionizer. In fact It was so big it couldn't get out of the bottle and that's a fearful plight for a mouse to be in. But along came the hero of this story, Walter Sherid, who UDeraiea the grateful mouse. The happy creature raced for home to tell the whole family about the won derful, health-building food liquid that was found in an old bottle. Mr. Sherid, a protective as sistant on the Rogue Hlver na tional forest at Lake o" Woods, told this story to Robert Mer cer, construction superintendent. Mr. Mercer told it to Karl L Janouch, forest supervisor. Mr. Janouch thought the story should be told to the press. So here it is, folks. COURT HOUSE IS A colony of yellowiacketr In the past two weeks have built nest at the top or tne dbck- door to the courthouse ana Sheriff Syd I. Brown said today he was thinking of dispersing them with a "couple of shot from his tear gas gun but feared the attack would disperse both himself and courthouse work ers In general. The Janitor who first discov ered the building operations is desirous of remaining on amic able terms with the yellow Jackets and admires the work manlike Job they are doing. They have bothered nobody to date, chiefly because no one has bothered them. The insects toll assidlously, one bunch doing the plastering and the other bringing material. County Agent Robert G. Fow ler viewed the nest Monday morning and cast a scientific eye upon the work, armed with nothing but his faithful pipe, He voiced no definite steps for a blitzkrieg upon the yellow-jackets. A thoroughly experienced, es pecially trained, mobile forest fire suppression crew of ten hand-picked men took up its duties today at the Star ranger station in the Applegate district of the Rogue River national forest. The men are prepared to move swiftly at a moment's notice to any fire in the Apple gate district or to any other part of the forest, headquarters said. The special crew was organ ized because of the disbandment of the Applegate CCC company that in past summers provided a side camp of fire-fighters sta tioned at the Star ranger sta tion, headquarters explained. Because of increased logging operations and consequent in crease in slashings, the forest service today put on a preven tion guard in each of the four ranger districts of the Rogue River national forest. The guards, it was explained, will patrol the logging areas of greatest fire hazard. The men employed for this work are Don H. McKenzie, Lake of the Woods district; John Byrne, Applegate district; Ralph Ellis, Butte Falls district, and Lee Merriman, Union Creek district.

(4V-Ex-perienced observers "said today that Japan's curtailment of ship ping routes and concentrations of her merchant marine In the Pacific was obviously prepara tion "for any eventualities" In other words, for whatever action Tokyo may have decided to take next. Koh Ishil, spokesman of the Japanese government, said in Tokyo today that the concen tration was due to a shortage of ships on Pacific ocean routes. He pointed out that there was little chance of Japanese ireign ers obtaining cargoes on the east coast of the United States, henceforth Japanese ships probably would confine their calls to the west coast. Panama Order Irks He added that United States regulations concerning the Pan ama canal were very inconven ient to the Japanese. The Shanghai observers said Ishil's statement was not con vincing and asserted that Japan's trade in the far east had de clined greatly while her trade with Europe was completely halted. Japan, they said, has an oversupply of ships in these waters for normal purposes. j It was suggested that the ships : called home would be handed over to the military authorities j if Japan attempts a new overseas . expedition. There also was speculation' that Tokyo wished to avoid the risk of the United States closing , the Panama canal and while Jap. anese ships are in the Atlantic. U. B. War Step Seen Mai. Kunio Akiyama, Japan-' ese army spokesman, said "the( United States navy did not send its forces to Iceland for a sum-, mer outing; the occupation is a long stride toward war by Roosevelt." Asked about reports of a Jap-! anese move into southern Indo-! China, Akiyama said, "just as the United States did not an nounce the navy was in Iceland until it was occupied, we can not make an announcement about future matters." Akiyama said Japan was "greatly concerned over the pos sibility of a spread of the Russian-German war to the far east" as a result of passage of United States materials to Vladivostok.
