W An in vestigation into the Southern Pa cific Railroad company's log hauling rate policies in Oregon is sought by Congressman Charles O. Porter who said in a letter to the Interstate Com merce commission that the SP is discriminating against small log ging operators. The Oregon Democrat filed his complaint Wednesday stating that the SP is charging higher rates to small logging operators than it charges 14 special com panies. Porter said the SP's spe cial rate to major firms of S5.50 per thousand feet inside the state for log hauling is opposed to S8 per thousand as paid by small operators and possibly violates the Elkins anti-monopoly law. "Further," Porter said, "it is my feeling that there is suffi cient evidence that these rates, if only intrastate in application, are still prejudicial to interstate commerce and especially that they do cause undue and unrea sonable advantage, preference and prejudice between persons localities. Sufficient Evidence "I believe that there is suffi cient evidence on hand to war rant the Interstate Commerce commission's instituting an in vestigation on its own motion in to these contract log rates in Oregon." Porter's action is based on in formation received from numer ous sources including Oregon Public Utilities Commissioner Howard Morgan. Favored companies are Booth Kelly of Springfield, Evans Pro ducts of Akin and Coos Bay, Georgia Pacific of Toledo, Oceanside of Tillamook, Oregon Washington Plywood of Tilla mook, Snellstrom Lumber Mills of "Eugene, Springfield Lumber Mills of Springfield, Springfield Plywood of Springfield, Umpqua Plywood of Green and Myrtle Creek. U. S. Plywood of Green and Willamina. Western Kraft of Millersburg, Western Veneer and Plywood of Griggs.

Anyone who can find a spot which affords an un- I obstructed view of the sky with- 'nnt intprfprpnr frnm artificial lights will share this feeling of awe and wonder as they view the stars on a clear summer night. First to appear in the twilight i sky are the naked eye planets: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn. Venus is truly "a thing of beauty" shining in the blue of of the twilight sky just above the western horizon for about lii hours after sundown. Higher in Southwest Higher in the southwest Jupi ter adds charm to the celestial scene. Venus and Jupiter look much alike and will at once claim the star gazer's attention, However, Venus is the brighter of the two having a magnitude of -3.3 as compared with Jupi ter's -1.4. Tiny Mercury now winging its way through the western hea vens may be seen during the last half of July for about an hour after sunset Just above the sky line to the north or right of Venus. This little planet shining at zero magnitude, will not be as easy to locate as Venus and Jupiter, but can be found with out too much difficulty. Low in the southeast Saturn is shining calmly about six de grees above the rapidly twuik ling, red star, Antares. Mars, which has been visible for months is now too near the sun for observation. Consider Constellations Shall we now consider the constellations? The Big Dipper in Ursa Major or tha Great Bear easiest of all star groups to lo cate, makes a good starting point. By 9 p.m. (PST) it is high in the northwest hanging cup downward. Sprawled against the sky the entire figure of the Great Bear may be easily recog nized. The dimmer stars repre senting the two hind legs, one front leg, and the head of this creature may be traced as they lead away from the Dipper which forms the body and tail of this celestial animal. An imaginary line through the Pointers, the two stars on the side of the Dipper opposite the handle, extended east will reach the North Star, last star in the handle of the Little Dip per. The Pointers are the two stars of the Big Dipper which now are nearest the horizon. Lina Is Horizontally This imaginary line will ex tend horizontally almost east and west. Directly above the North Star is the cup of the Little Dipper. Between the cup and the North Star lie two dim stars that complete the slightly curved handle. The Little Dip per, usually one of the hardest star groups to find, is now well placed for viewing. After looking at the Little Dipper let us turn our atten tion to the last star in the handle of the Big Dipper and extend the curved line of the Dipper handle downward to the south west for about twice the length of the handle, where sparkles bright orange-yellow Arcturus, brightest star in the kite-shaped constellation, Bootes the Plough man. Bootes has faithfully driven his plough across the summer skies and will gradually move westward until it disappears beneath the horizon during the first part of October. Blue-White Sun Continue the curved line from Arcturus downward to the south west and you will find Spica, a giant blue-white sun in the con stellation, Virgo the Maiden. The bluish color of this sparkling star forms a pleasing contrast with the orange-yellow glow of Arcturus in Bootes. 1 High in the heavens, slightly north of due east, another blue- .white star, Vega in Lyra the Harp, sparkles gaily. This is the brightest of all stars visible in the summer time. Astronomers tell us -that our sun and its planetary family is traveling through space in the general direction of this giant sun. Why do the stars have differ ent colors? This is due to the surface temperatures. Blue white stars are the hottest, those of reddish hues the coolest, while the orange - yellow and yellow stars are between these two extremes. Cattlemen Vote To Help Establish Beef Commission The Jackson County Cattle men's association will help fi nance establishment of a beef commission in Oregon, it was announced Friday. At a meeting Thursday night, the board of directors voted to contribute $95.40 as the county cattlemen's share. Total contri butions for Oregon cattlemen is figured at $2,500, based on the recent cattle census figures. Jackson county's 2-mill assess ment is based on 47,700 head of both dairy and beef cattle. A hearing and referendum election will be held in the state soon, W. B. Tucker, county agent, said. When established the beef commission will be a promotional agency similar to the wheat commission and other such organizations. Oppose Rates The directors also went on record opposing the proposed re distribution of railroad freight rates for westbound fresh meat and packing house produce. This proposal, they feel, discrim inates against the western pack ers. Compensation also should be made for eastbound ship ments, directors stated. A committe of 10 association members will arrange for anoth er fall feeder day sale. Ward Spatz met with the di rectors to explain his function as newly appointed member of the state board of agriculture. The Medford orchardist and fruit packer said he hoped to promote all southern Oregon ag ricultural interests though he was appointed actually to rep resent horticultural interests. He is the first southern Ore gon man to be appointed to such a board, it was reported. Activities at Scout " Jamboree Reviewed Editor's aota: Tha following letter was writan for tha Mail Tribune by Stan Dowson, one of 63 Cratar Laka araa Boy Scouts attending tha annual Boy Scout Jamboree at Valley Forga.) The opening night camp fire was glorious. We marched into a natural stadium with 50,000 other Scouts to greet Richard Nixon, vice president of the United States, and other distin guished guests. On Thursday, July 11, the Bobcat patrol, composed of Jeff Heatherington, orator, Fred Lor ish, John Crawford, Garner Hau pert, Mike Florey, Jack Bush and myself, were actors. John Norris took care of the props. The skit went over well. Yesterday, we took a tour of Philadelphia. It was very inter esting, for we saw monuments, Ben Franklin's grave and many other historical sites, which are so common to Philadelphia. The weather has been warm and yesterday it rained. As far as sickness is concerned, there have been some cases of poison ivy. Stan Dowson Reporter The first Rose Bowl football game was played in Pasadena.

Sleep or rest concerns every living being and yet, as it per tains to man who alone can look into the future and wo.-ry about it, sleep is hedged with many superstitutions and erroneous beliefs. To clear up some of these popular misconceptions, let's discuss them with one of the world's foremost slumber specialists. Dr. Nathaniel Kleit man of the University of Chi cago. Belief: Eight hours of good sleep is normal for adults. Fact: There is no normal quan tity. One person's requirements may be nine hours; another's five, or even less than four. A little over seven hours appears to be the mst common figure and adults do well on this amount. Belief: One hour of sleep be fore midnight is worth two or three hours later on. Fact: No evidence supports this notion. Belief: "Deep sleep" uninter rupted by dreams is best. Fact: Again, only an assumption. By IUGENI BURNS Rjnf.r-Njtur.liit Belief: After sleep, a normal person should wake up full of bounce." Fact: More often, the normal person wakes up feeling "like wet cardboard." Many people wake up less efficient and less alert than when they went to bed. For many, the benefits of sleep do not show up until sev eral hours after they are awake. Belief: Newborn babies should sleep 20-22 hours a day. Fact: Many get along very well on 15 even when they are only two to three weeks old. Belief: A bedtime snack, to in duce sleep, is good for all people. Fact: for some yes; for others, it murders sleep. Belief: A firm mattress is al ways better for sleep than a soft one. Fact: Bare ground, mats on floor, sagging hammocks, all have provided satisfactory sleep for portions of the human race. It's individual. The best sleeping surface for you is the one on which you sleep best. Belief: Some people never dream, or when they do, the dreams last only seconds. Fact: Most dreams last 10-30 minutes and everybody seems to dream every night with most dreams occurring toward the end of the night when they are likely to dream about half of the time without remembering what they had dreamt.
