Sometimes this system proves
sound enough for example
when I urged here the superior
ity of diathermy extirpation of
tonsils over the old Spanish cus
tom, injection treatment of
hemorraids over the crude clamp
and cautery operation involving
hospitalization, and ambulant
treatment of hernia over the
radical operation. I had to take
it on the chin from many a big

the practical value of these
newfangled methods and recom
mending them to the laity while
the Pooh-Bah was telling the

unsatisfactory, "dangerous" etc.
But I ran take It when I know
I'm right. History has brought
that satisfaction. All three
methods are now so firmly es
tablished in practice that it is no
longer necessary to defend
them the public is too well in

Sometimes the system falls.
Some months ago I presented
the facts on which I based a

Under Survey
By Jobs W. Kellr
Washington, D. C, July 21.
So determined is the Bonne
ville administration to crush
private utilities that it has ap
pealed to the federal maritime
commission to order the Kaiser
shipbuilding concern to make a
contract with Paul Raver's
Bonneville power and to forbid
Kaiser from buying power from
the Portland General Electric
Co., although Bonneville has no
transmission lines to Swan is
land and has no franchise to
construct such lines within the
city of Portland. In view of
the desire of Secretary of the
Interior Ickes to have complete
domination over power In the
northwest by forcing the private
companies to sell (stealing their
customers, sapping their rev
enues), the affair at Swan island
is of regional rather than local
interest.
Maritime Commissioner How
ard L. Vickery is quoted as say
ing that "we own the yard at
Swan Island and Kaiser man
ages it for us. The yard must
take power from Bonneville."
WHEN Kaiser was given a
contract to build 56 oil tankers
at Swan island (former airport
of Portland) there was already
a transmission line to the island,
for PGE had served the airport
for years. With the building of
the new yard the power com
pany obtained priorities from
WPB and increased the capacity
of the line. PGE was serving
the yard before Administrator
Raver was aware of this new
customer but when he did learn
of the arrangement he demanded
that PGE turn the power sale
over to Bonneville. Not having
a franchise for lines within the
city of Portland, he insisted that
PGE "wheel" Bonneville power
to Swan island over PGE facili
ties, a demand that was refused.
The Swan island shipyard
will require a heavy load of
power and Raver wanted that
load; determined to get it away
from PGE. The private com
pany's rate for power to the
shipyard was as low as that of
Bonneville, $17.50 per kilowatt
year, so that, financially, it
made no difference whether
Swan island bought from PGE
or Bonneville.
BONNEVILLE agents have al
ready sought to take other cus
tomers away from this particu
lar private company and are
still working on two or three
big concerns. The government
owned plant is furnishing power
to the Oregon Shipbuilding cor
poration, located on Willamette
river, of which Edgar Kaiser is
manager and used some of the
same tactics that have been in
voked on the Swan island yards
Kaiser was about to sign a
contract with PGE when Raver
put the "bee" on him.

ARMY investigators have
been examining the coal de
posits in Washington and Ore
gon as 180.000 tons must be sup
plied to the cantonments now
being built near Medford and
Corvallis. These inspectors
were at Renton, looked at the
coal at Bellingham and probed
into the Coos bay field. From
about 1889 to 1907 Coos bay
coal heated San Francisco, col
liers operating between Coos
bay and the Bay city. So far
as known this is the only coal
deposit in the United States at
the oceanside. As an experi
ment, the army men gave an
order for 2,000 tons but did not
designate whether it would be
used at Medford ,or Corvallis,
nor did they fix a price. Con
versations were also held with
the Washington mine operators
for a few experimental tons.
Eventually, whatever mine wins
the contract it will be a big
boost for the northwest industry,
see
LOOKING ahead to the possi
bility of bauxite being cut off
from Dutch Guiana because of
German submarine activity, the
bureau of mines has sent sur
vey parties into the northwest
gathering samples of aluminum
clay. The large deposit near
Castle Rock has been checked
and now a party is drilling
about 13 miles east of Cottage
Grove. In case of a pinch the
clay deposits will be used: the
process is a trifle more costly
than with bauxite, which is the
principal reason aluminum in
got plants prefer the Dutch
Guiana material.

As a member of the old 91st

old reputation but it can not
have a better record as our rec
ord was 100 always taking

that when we crossed the At

Answer to Mrs. Jack Moore
To the editor: According to
some of the rental rates quoted
to me, army ladies would have
to be ."high and mighty acting"
to get their money's worth.
If Mrs. Jack Moore will do a
little checking with her neigh
bors and make some social calls
on the newcomers, I am sure that
she will find that the majority
of the army ladies want to pick
up after themselves, do their
share of the routine work, and
escape from the living room as
much as possible.
The "some of these women"
that Mrs. Moore spoke of is a
very low per cent. In every large
group of people there are always
a few who get out of line. Mrs.
Moore should be able to under
stand this better than anyone
else.
She should not assume that
her opinion is that of all the
housekeepers in town, for I know
too many who are enjoying the
association they are having with
these so-called high and mighty
army women.
Tell Mrs. Moore that her
household is not the only one
that this war is disturbing and
that her town is not the only one
meeting the housing problem by
sharing their homes.
AN ARMY WIFE.
Medford, July 2 1st.
(Name on File).
War Versus Housekeeping
To the editor: I am a civilian
and if I am to be judged in the
minds and hearts of army and
navy wives as I am Judging the
lady In question, I'm sorry and
ashamed that I am a civilian.
I have lived among the wives
of service personnel for years In
a land which was strange, cold
and distant to me upon my ar
rival there. Among my first
friends were the wives of service
men. How thankful I was to find
such kind humans; they did not
question why I was among them,
they Just accepted me in their
kind-hearted way. In all that
four years not at any time did
I ever find one who was cruel
or self-centered, and not once
while among them was I ever
made to feel that I wasn't wanted.
But here in Medford I have
faced that very situation each
and every day of the three
months that I've been In this com
munity. The writer of that letter
sounds as though she has lived
a very happy, full and sheltered
life, perhaps always in this very
town. In comparii-.j the wives
of these service men must take
their very little happiness where
they find it, never in a home of
their own as they have no home
except perhaps In a one or two
room apartment that someone is
willing to rent them at extremely
high rents. They can't even call
their souls their own, they don't
even come first in their hus
band's affection, instead their
country and people who are
prejudiced, as the writer of that
letter, are first as they make up
the country for which these men
gladly lay down their lives.
These service wives are not
high and mighty as accused: they
are a puzzled, broken-hearted lot
of women, trying to make the
most of these last few weeks or
months, as the case might be,
with their men (although I don't
like mentioning it I find I must)
who. when they leave, may
never return and if they do per
haps maimed for life. I wonder
if faced with the same situation
Just how the majority of civilian
wives would act.
I was in Honolulu Dec. 7. 1941.
and can assure those concerned
that these service wives were al
ways among the first to aid thosa
less fortunate than themselves in
the more dangerous areas. It was
their homes which were thrown
open first to evacuees. They were
the first to rally round when
blood donors were called.
Now about this housekeep
ing business. I have never seen
better housewives than the ser
vice wives; due to their husbands
training they have to be. And
lady, this Is war. Don't you think
that housekeeping Is of second
ary importance at this time. I
think that if at this time we
thought less of self and more ot
what we could do to make life
happier for the other fellow, per
haps this would be a better, hap
pier, more Christian world to
live in (at least a better Med
ford) with exceptions.
