C Red Ships Get Columbia Repair Coot Coal Use To Await Report Tax Sought For Land in Camp . Br Joha W. KllT Washington, D. C, July 2 Into the Columbia river, passing Fort Stevens (recent midnight target for a Japanese subma rine) and up to Portland have steamed six Russian ships to receive repairs. These complet ed, the vessels went to Tacoma and Seattle where they took on cargoes of flour. Quantities of this flour were milled In Port land and Astoria, but instead of the Russians picking up their cargoes at either of these ports they sailed empty to Puget sound, and the Astoria-Portland flour had to be sent to Tacoma .and Seattle by rail, increasing unnecessarily the strain on the carriers. Furthermore, the warehouse facilities on Puget sound are congested with supplies and war materials for Alaska and for the American task forces in the far Pacific. Railroad cars are being used as warehouses, regardless tot demurrage charges. The transportation association on Columbia river could not see that the government's policy made sense, especially when most of the flour mills of the northwest have shipped their product through the river and now, despite the enormous freight piling up on Puget sound the flour must be sent there too. The answer to this situation is that although the food sup plies are given to Russia under the lend-lease, the Russians have the privilege of selecting the port where they want the flour, etc., delivered, and they pre ferred Puget sound although Columbia river was used for making repairs. The cost of shipping from Astoria and Port land mills to Puget sound made no difference to the Russians, this cost being covered by the lend-lease for which American taxpayers and not Russia will have to pay. By dint of diplomatic negoti ations, at last Russia has agreed mo send a half dozen vessels into the river by July 15 and load flour for Siberia. To date about 95 percent of the Russian lend lease food has gone out of Puget sound. Japanese have not inter fered with Russia taking food home, but a different situation might develop if the Russians undertook to freight guns, tanks and planes. FULL details of the food re tirement of the Russians have not been revealed, but Stalin is as anxious for food, especially wheat and flour, as he is for war machinery. The Implements of war are moving to Murmansk and Archangel from the Atlan tic coast but most of the food has been flowing through the northwest Puget sound, to be Charles Starrett in Holly Show ilttfrr - W jflY ... : Hat i m ... .,w..$i..A..... mm., t Charles Starrett helps the Texas Rangers back up Uncle Sam in "Riders of the North land", which co-stars Russell Hayden with the popular West ern star at the Holly Theatre for tmorrow night and Saturday matine and evening.

"This Above All" Rialto Feature i jjf ' x yifA people here who have been ex periencing the unpleasantness of having doors slammed in their faces by some of the Medford stores on Saturday evenings. After living in this valley for 8 years am just figuring out what a dope I am. wondering why I've lived here and, spent my money here all this time in these some stores that today slam doors in my face as well as in the face of the many people who came here to work on the cantonment. It would be very interesting for the managers of these stores to hear the comments and re marks made by people standing dumbfounded at a door Just slammed shut at 8:30 or a minute later. I never realized how small townish and rude Medford peo ple can be until now when I see how they hate to co-operate with these people who came here to kelp construct that won derful piece of work for our soldiers the cantonment. Certainly, everyone knows that store employes can only work a certain amount of hours, but why not put on a few ex tras to work a little later and give the working man a chance to do his shopping. The stores probably never stop to think that many encour aged these people to come here and most of them bought prop erty here with intentions of staying here but they have changed their plans, they Intend to sell their places and leave and I feel the same way, if our money isn't good enough now it won't be good enough later when business slows down. It just isn't fair Medford wanted the cantonment and they got it, but the working man only asks for service and a chance to buy necessary things. but ha gets a door slammed in his face. He was good enough to come here and pay high rent, or buy a shack that had been stand ing for years. Some people say, well why can't their wives do the shopping during week days? well that's O. K. for those who have cars or live close to town, but most , of us are out where the bus isn't handy. I agree with them It's the bunk and the sooner I sell my place like they will do, I'm bid ding good bye to a town that wouldn't bother to co-operate and accommodate a working man when he has so little time to take care of his business. Many a pay check is shot to pieces in beer joints because they are the only place willing to stay open late. Disgusted Valley resident. j Medford, Ore. (Name on file).

The widely read novel comes to the Rialto The atre tomorrow in picture form for one big terrific week. specific. This wheat movement belies the statement that Amer ican wheat farmers have lost their foreign market. The ship loads of flour and wheat are a direct benefit to wheat grow ers of the Inland empire and to the small flouring mills scatter ed throughout the interior of the northwest. INDICATIONS are that coal mines of Washington and not the mines on Coos bay, will be furnishing coal for the army cantonments at Medford and Corvallis, but no decision will be made until after a special In vestigator makes his report. These two military establish ments will require 140,000 tons of coal a year. From a state ment by Major General Thomas M.

Store neers, prospects of Oregon coal warming the troops are none too good. Production at Coos bay runs 10 to 20 tons a day; it is difficult to increase output and there are no rail facilities, writes the major general. Washington mines, on the other hand, have sufficient capa city and priorities can be ob tained for necessary machinery to expand, but shortage of labor prevents operation at full capa city. Bituminous coal commis sion reports a labor shortage of 22.8 per cent in Washington and Oregon compared with a na tional shortage of 7.4 per cent. The army rule is to specify coal nearest the army post, if such mines can supply. Under this rule Coos bay would receive the contract, but it most likely will not. ' THOSE military establish ments which the war department has been acquiring so generous ly in the two northwest states will have to pay taxes if S.2308 is enacted. The bill, in sub stance, permits taxation by states and political subdivisfons of property taken over by army or navy. This would apply to several hundred thousand acres acquired for air bases, shore sta tions, cantonments, bomb test ing areas, ammunition depots, etc. It would embrace such things as the repair depot for planes near Spokane, the muni tions depot at Hermiston (14.5 sections of land), the new base at Walla Walla, the blimp head quarters at Tillamook, the Cor vallis cantonment of 34,000 acres, and the cantonment at Medford, just as large; the shore stations in Washington. A favorable report on the bill was made by the agricultural committee (almost all the land acquired was agricultural) writ ten by Senator McNary of Ore gon, who sponsoted the measure almost five months ago. The bill was prompted when It was discovered that almost all the property in one northwest coun ty had been taken off the tax roll by government purchase.
