Russian Fishing Fleet Seen 250 Miles Off Coast Seattle - lUPt - Samuel J. Hutchinson, regional director of the U. S. Bureau of Com mercial Fisheries, revealed that a fleet of 20 Russian fish ing vessels passed the Washington-Oregon coast about 290 miles at sea Friday. Hutchinson said the fleet consisted of a huge Soviet mother whaling ship and 19 catcher boats enroute from South America to Vladivos tok. Hutchinson said the Rus sian ships were following ac cepted shipping lanes and vio lating no law. He said it was the closest such a large group of Rus sian fishing vessels had ever come to the Washington-Oregon coast. He identified the mother ship as the Sovietskaia Bos slya. If the Russians continue on their present course they will pass near U.S. and Canadian halibut fleets in AiasKan wi lers. Hutchinson said the vessels appear to be making no at tempt to fish, but are prob ably on their way to their home base in viaaivosiox al ter completing operations in the Antarctic. Hutchinson said the catcher boats were numbered from B-l through B-20 but observ. era have not been able to account for vessel B-2, which did not appear to be with the fleet. Flyway Biologist Starts North for Annual Bird Count "Tills old beast Is a fine airplane for what we do. I think she will outlast the crew," with this salute to his 1943 model Grumman Goose, Robert H. (Bob) Smith, flyway biologist with the department of interior, fish and wildlife service, took off from the Medford airport Thursday aft ernoon. - The wild geese have flown Into the Canadian marshes, lt'a nesting time In the far north, and Smith will soon be there to make the annual bird count. The Grumman Goose is the amphibian plane he flies from the Mexican tropics to the Arctic circle to count the birds on the Pacific flyway. Standard Procedure The same standard proced ure has been used for the past 8 to 10 years, he ex plained shortly before his de parture from his home on the Old Stage rd. The only thing new this trip, he added, will be hia observer, Joe Matlock, game agent for the fish and wildlife service. Matlock, also is a pilot. And this Is new. On all past flights (Smith has been counting birds for 27 years) he has gone with an observer, who could not fly the plane. A new ruling re quires that the observer be a pilot, and Smith admits it must give the observer a much more comfortable feel ing. It gives Smith a more comfortable feeling, too, to know that In case something happens to him the observer will be able to keep the Grum man Goose flying. The flyway biologist has ex perienced engine trouble in the land of the midnight sun. That's why he wanted to be sure that the plane had all Its worn parts replaced before he took off this time. He had planned to go several days earlier but the unfavorable weather and repair of the plane necessitated the delay, Smith planned to clear cus toms at Lethbridgei Alberta, just across the line from Cut bank, Mont., then continue to Edmonton to be met there by Matlock, who is coming from his home in Victoria, Tex. They will continue to work their way north to the most remote nesting grounds of the waterfowl, spending three weeks or a month, depending upon the weather, counting the birds. Their findings form the basis for annual game regula tions and lay the ground work for the preservation of game. Local Residents To Attend Union Meeting J.

June 6, at the Eagle Point library and Friday, June 7, at the Medford Junior Serv ice League's Kindergarten for Hard - of - Hearing Children, McAndrews rd. and Columbus ave. The hours for both days will be from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. The clinic Is sponsored by the Maternal and Child Health Section of the Oregon state board of health under the auspices of the Jackson county health department and the Medford Junior Service League. This la the first tune such a service has been available to Jackson county residents. The tests are conducted by an audiometric team consist ing of two audiometrists and an audiologist. Principal ob ject of the survey is to find nonsuspectcd c a a e s rather than concentrating primarily on known or suspected cases of hearing loss. It was explained that early training of a child with hear ing loss is easier and often more successful and aids the youngster in keeping pace with his age group. There is no charge for the examination. Additional infor mation may be obtained from the county health depart ment office in the county courthouse. Modern Lumbering Methods Discussed At Society Meeting Yrcka - Mel Barron, super intendent of the Fruit Grow ers Supply company of Hilt, spoke before members of the Siskiyou County Historical Society recently on "Modern Lumbering Methods." The topic was a continua tion of a recent talk given by Tom Blgclow on "Old Time Lumbering Methods" before the society. The speaker discussed four areas of logging; roads, fall ing, loading and transporta tion. Logging was started in the Hilt area in the late 1830's on the west branch of Cotton wood creek, John Hilt, who had made a lucky gold strike in Rocky Gulch and the Klamath river, bought the mill in 1877 and moved it one half mile up Cottonwood creek where he purchased a mountain glade, later known as the C. P. Ranch. Here he pastured his logging oxen. He operated the mill until 1902, when he sold to a group of Grants Pass lumbermen, and the Hilt Sugar Pine com pany was formed. In 1910 the Fruit Growers Supply com pany acquired the mill and It was moved to lis present location In 1912. Thus the Hilt area has a history of more than 100 years of logging operations. Barron said California's logging In- iy is ranked second in the nation being surpassed only by Oregon. Ten per cent of California's annual pay roll comes from the timber indus try. In Siskiyou county, it forms a major part of the economy. Barron also commented on the present experiments of logging bv hellrnnter he stated la a marvelous idea If it can be developed. This would eliminate the need for building roads into an area and WOUld SBVa mimh llmlu- The business session was tuiiuucica Dy the President, James McNeill who read a letter from Ab Evans thank ing the members for the party arranged for his 90th birthday even though he was unable to attend.

H also could study and report on whether there Is a need for a broader public defender system throughout the state. The U. S. Supreme Court earlier this year broadened the range of cases where an indigent accused person must be provided with legal help. More precise lines are yet to be drawn. The House passed and sent to the Senate one of the big ger state budgets: $106.7 mil lion for public welfare. It in c'udes $41.9 million from the state, $13.8 million from coun ties, and $49.8 million in fed eral money. The House also passed and sent to the Senate a bill that would let the Staie Industrial Accident commission reduce already published employer rates by about $6 million next year. Influenza Tops List Of County Diseases Influenza continued to top the list of communicable dis eases reported to the Jackson county health department last week, according to Dr. A. Erin Merkel. The 31 cases reported were In Medford 13, Shady Cove 9, Phoenix and Jacksonville 4 each, Central Point 3 and Ashland 2. Pneumonia ac counted for four cases. They were reported in aAshland 2 and Central Point' and Med ford 1 each. Other diseases reported were measles Medford 6, Sams Valley S, Gold Hill 14 and Central Point 1; mumps, Medford 2 and Central Point, Gold Hill and Shady Cove, 1 each; infectious mononu cleosis, 4 In Medford; and 1 case of German measlea in Ashland and one case of gonorrhea. The sum represents the ben efit increase that injured workmen would have receiv ed if a "three-way" bill over hauling the state's workmen's compensation law had passed. The SIAC issued its rates on schedule May 1 on the premise the bill would pass. The measure, however, ap pears dead in the House La bor and Industries committee. The House passed a Senate bill changing the county school Superintendent into the superintendent of an "inter mediate education district" -another slo step toward re organization.
