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.

Hearing Clinics
Scheduled in Area
For Preschoolers
All preschool children, ages
2 to S years, may have their
hearing checked Thursday.
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.

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

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

The U. S. Supreme Court
earlier this year broadened
the range of cases where an

be provided with legal help.
More precise lines are yet to
be drawn.
The House passed and sent
