William M. McAllister. Many
sub-committees are to be organ

Action Needed
"We must be ready to func

start arriving at our proposed
cantonment as It would be too
late If we waited until they
actually got here," Mrs. Car
penter said In emphasizing the
need for many volunteer work

is much for us to do whether

FIRE DESTROYED
The Arthur L. Coggtns saw
mill on the Dead Indian road
and 30,000 board feet of freshly
cut lumber were destroyed by
fire late Friday afternoon. The
mill was situated 14 miles from
Ashland. The plant was too far

was discovered. It. was thought
that the fire was started by a
spark in the engine room, Rogue
River national forest headquar
ters said.
About 3 p.m. Friday machin
ery in the mill broke down and
the sawyer left for town to get
replacement parts. A little later
the only other workman left at
the plant went into the woods
on a logging mission. When he
returned at 5 o'clock, the plant
was in flames, forest headquart
ers stated.
Mr. Coggins figured the loss
at about $7,500. There was only
a small amount of insurance, he
said. The mill, built about three
years ago, had a capacity of 20,

FOUND TO HAVE
Rogue River national forest
headquarters said, yesterday that
several women travelling in a
Bulck car bearing a California
license posed as refugees from
Scotland at Lake o' Woods and
procured "loans" from a num
ber of summer residents to
bring relatives still in Scotland
to this country. When the wo
men were leaving they were
heard to ask the way to .Med
ford, headquarters related.
The women gave as security
for the "loans" pieces of linen
and lace which they said they
couldn't sell because they want- j
ed to use them as models in j
teaching Americans how to
make such articles, forest head-'
quarters stated. One summer ;
resident "lent" one of the wo-'
men $26. Several of the resi-1
dents, however, recovered their .
"loans" when they reconsidered
the stories the "refugees" told
and asked for a clearer explan-1
ation. Instead of the pfnk bloom ,
