'Vt F RIVER MILLWORK ' SPRAGUE RIVER A fire that started near the ' heating stove completely destroyed the home of Mr. Albert McNair two miles east of Sprague River Thursday evening, December 11. The farm house, which was a six room structure, was one of the largest homes on the reserva tion and housed the McNair family of eight members. About 5 p. m. Mrs. McNair and the children were working in the kitchen, while Mr. Mc Nair and the older boys had gone out to milk. The door from the kitchen to the front room was evidently closed as the fire had reached holocaust propor tions before anything could be saved. Mr. McNair upon hearing the screams of the children, be lieved that one of them was hurt as he did not see the fire until he got fairly close to the house. He raced to the front room door in an effort to get in to save personal valuables. As he opened the door flames belched forth and nothing could be saved. It was the custom of the Mc Nairs to put the youngest child to bed about a half-hour earlier than the time that this fire oc curred. McNair stated that this was the first time in weeks that the baby was kept up and had it been placed in its bedroom in the front of the building at the usual time a tragedy would have probably occurred. McNair had just built a new milk house next to the residence. It had been recently equipped with a new separator and cooling equipment. This room was de stroyed with the house. For tunately no wind was blowing and the air was very damp. This prevented the spreading of the fire to the barn, poultry house and several farm sheds. The residence was partly cover ed by insurance. - Mr. McNair announces that he will start the construction of a new home immediately. ' KENO The Red Cross sewing unit took a very bad slump in attendance, due to bad weather and sickness. However, three faithful members carried on the good work. They were Mrs. Ben Kerns and Mrs. W. L. Frain who met with Mrs. J. F. Pritch- ard at her home. The next meeting will be held on January 8, 1842. at 1 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Oscar Grimes, and it is hoped every lady in the con munity will do her share of the Red Cross sewing. Material may be obtained from Mrs. Ben Kerns or Mrs. Ross Putnam. CORNELL'S HARD LUCK . .

H., Dec. 13 (UP) In addition to two deadly attacks on the U. S. naval base at Pearl harbor Sunday, scream ing Japanese bombers followed with a third attack Sunday and with a fourth Monday morning, it is possible to disclose today, The attacks, which opened Ja pan's surprise assault against the United States in the Pacific, killed 1S00 persons in Pearl har bor and Honolulu including Rear Admiral Isaac Campbell Kidd, described as in command of a battleship division of the Pacific fleet. Fifteen hundred others were wounded. Heavy damage was done. Censorship permits a cautious description of the attack. A few seconds after the first bombers came over, with the red fireball insignia of Japan on their wings, defending Anti-aircraft batteries sent up a heavy barrage. Concentrated Attack Within a few minutes heavy clouds of black smoke began rolling up from Pearl harbor, 14 miles from Honolulu. Planes roared in over the har bor, dropping bombs on navy centers and ships. Torpedo planes splashed their deadly loads into the water. , Other bombers concentrated their attack on Hickam field army air center, and still others raided the army's Wheeler field and Schofield barracks. . One witness at Schofield bar racks said "the bombs dropped like haiL" Meanwhile to the windward of Oahu, the enemy was attacking the army's Bellows field and the naval air station at Kaneohe. Watchers on the hilltops be hind Honolulu could see other planes attempting to bomb war ships of the U. S. fleet offshore. The ships replied with anti-air craft fire. ' IS Bombs Drop The Japanese planes attempt ed to bomb a Dutch vessel which was entering the port during the attack, but the ship reached port safely. At least 13 bombs were drop ped in Honolulu. The latest civilian casualty toll is 49 dead and more than 100 wounded. The number of Japanese planes shot down can not be revealed, It has been reported without confirmation that at least one Japanese aircraft carrier and four submarines were sunk in the Honolulu action. ' ' A witness at Pearl Harbor said: "It was just about 8 a. m. Sunday when the first planes were sighted over Pearl Harbor, "The planes, with the rising sun of Japan plainly visible on their sleek fuselages, raided Hickam field and the Ford island naval air station. Bombers Peel Off "The first planes, flying 'aulte low, swung over Pearl Harbor and Hickam field. They were only about 100 feet off the ground. "I could see torpedo planes ana aive bombers in action, be sides the low-level bombers.' "The dive bombers peeled off at great altitudes, one after the other. They - came down in groups of nine. There were about 100 Dlanes taking part in the entire raid." Shortly after 8 a. m. Sunday morning, radios began to crackle with calls for all army. navy. police, fire, civilian defense and Red Cross personnel to report to their stations immediately. Admiral Husband R. Kimmel. commander in chief of the U. S. fleet, and Rear Admiral Claude Bloch, commander of the Hono lulu naval district. Issued a Joint statement praising the response to the call of duty by civilians, the army, navy and marine corps. Never So Proud "It is truly great to be an American," their statement said. "Never have we been so proud as when we saw Sunday's mag nificent response to the call of duty by civilian employes of the government and contractor firms whom we call our un-uni-formed fighters and the offi cers and men of the army, navy and marine corps. "Instances of valor are so great in. number they are too many to enumerate. The same sort of selfless' courage was dis played then that will win this war.".. General Short declared mar tial law Sunday night and named himself military governor. - Daytime life in Honolulu has returned' practically to normal except for. the presence of sol diers on patrol. Barricades have been built at strategic street cen ters ' throughout the city and some trenches have been dug. Most businesses are operating as usual, but close at 4:30 p. m to allow civilians to reach their homes before dark, when they are ordered to remain off the streets in the blackout. ' Food stores were closed Tues day for inventory but reopened Wednesday They were instruct ed to sell only to their regu lar customers and in normal amounts. . s One accident was reported during Friday night's blackout according to city- police when Ray Peck, route 3, box 252, struck . a parked car at 2137 Biehn street' near Lowell while en route to his home. The car was registered to Mrs.', Henry Bolts, Washington state resident.

Pilot Who Sank Haruna Pays For Bombing With Life MANILA Dec. 13 (IP) A Florida-born West Pointer, Capt, Colin P. Kelly Jr., 26, who help ed even the score which the Jap anese ran up at Pearl harbor when he planted three bombs on the Japanese battleship Har una, paid for the sinking of the ship with his life. One sentence in a communi que issued by Lieut. Gen. Doug las MacArthur, commander of the Far Eastern army, paid post humous tribute to the young army flier: "General MacArthur announc ed with great sorrow the death of Captain Colin P. Kelly Jr., who so distinguished himself by scoring three direct hits on the Japanese capital battleship Har una, leaving her in flames and in distress." Just when and how Kelly died was not stated but it is possible that death came without his knowing that the Haruna had been mortally damaged. The war department In Washington an nounced that the 29,330-ton Har una was sunk Wednesday, north of Luzon. Kelly was graduated from the U. S. military academy in 1937 and became a captain on Sept. S, 1940, after training in vari ous flying and bombing schools. Kongo Out of Control Admiral Hart's account of the attack on the Kongo was the first detailed action by the naval S. F. Man-in-the-Street Getting Used to War Now SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13 (UP) This is today's man-In-the-street In San Francisco: He lives In a gay, crowded, noisy, hard-drinking, polyglot capital of the Pacific Coast. His country got Into the war last Sunday. He is getting used to it. He thinks we'll win may be in a year but it'll be tough. For the first time the world crisis dictates his plans for the day. He wishes he'd bought new tires for the car last month. He cancelled his dentist date and put off paying his club dues until he sees what happens. He wishes he knew what hap pened In Honolulu and what the fleet is doing. Ho wishes he could tell a Japanese from a Chinese. It made him uncomfortable when he saw a man in a bar with a big cardboard sign: "Jap hunt- in b licenses for sale here, upen season all year round." He feels sorry for the good Americans up In Japtown and hopes the boys in the bar won't get any foolish Ideas. He's glad there hasn't been any of that. Sunday was a bad dream. He was out Saturday night and was Just beginning to rally around when the radio started inose: We interrupt this broadcast He got to bed late again Sunday night. . ' , i He dldn t get much work done Monday., After, dinner they called a-blackout on him. He, didn't know- what to do. He turned out the lights until other people began turning theirs on again. The cops said it was prac tice.. The army said there were planes. He still doesn't know. He went to bed late again. They left Him alono the last three nights and he got some sleep andielt better. The news was better Wednes day, Thursday and today. Wo got a couple of Jap battleships. His nephew who works for Pan Am erican at Midway Island was safe. He bought a flashlight and some extra batteries but had to fight a crowd at the drugstore to get them. He tried to buy blue cellophane to put over his auto headlights, but , all the stores were out of it. ' Some- random, telephone calls to San Franciscans after the first blackouts, gdt. these answers: I Just turned off the llghU filers to bo reported from the Far Eastern front. "The Kongo was last seen out of control and wc aro suro seri ously crippled," tho announce ment said. Lieut. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur commended First Lieut. Boyd D. Wagner, of the army air corps, who "distinguished him self by his daring attack on a Japanese air detachment at Aparri yesterdny morning." "When attacked by five pur suit planes," he said, "he shot two planes out of the air and machine-gunned 12 on the ground, leaving five burning. Wagner ended his terso report by saying 'My gas was running low so I returned homo'." No Fire The announcement said they made "at least one hit and we think two. The ship was definie ly out of control and we are sure she was seriously crippled. "There was no fire when she was last seen so she may have been able to return to port." Admiral Hart revealed that the American navy had lost three large planes since the war started two during the daylight raid on the Gulf of Dnvno about an hour after the Pearl harbor attack. Air force casualties thus far have been small, but there have been "plenty of attacks on our planes," he said. and waited. What else could you do?" "We felt sort of funny, be cause we're right near the ocean." "I remember the last war, but this comes right to home." "I was out walking my dog. When the sirens started to wail, he did too. He kept It up until wc got back to tho house, then he hid under the bed." "My husband got up and put all his camera equipment in the darkroom at the back of the house." Clockwork Timing Of Hawaii Patrol Possible Mistake WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (P) A theory that tho clock-work regularity of the army's "dawn patrol" may have contributed unwittingly to the surprise of the Japanese attack on Pearl harbor was advanced Thursday by mili tary men familiar with tho Pa cific outpost, One officer recalled that while he was stationed in Hawaii, a squadron of army patrol planes would roar over his houso at the same tlmo every morning and return at the same time after sweeping a certain distance out to sea. "You could set your watch by those flights," he recalled. That regularity, he explained, may have been capitalized on by the Japanese when they made their daring aerial swoop on the great naval base. "It Is possible," he said, "that the Japanese sent some of their naval Intelligence officers Into Hawaii where they got Jobs on the sugar plantations from which they could watch and tlmo the dawn patrols every day. "That would cnablo them or any other expert observer, for that matter to estimate pretty accurately how far the patrols extended over tho sea and with that Information, they could de termine how close to tho Islands their aircraft carries could ap proach to launch their attack planes without danger of being observed by the army patrols." An ordinance prohibits "par taking of refreshments" In the clty-owned cemetery at Fort Collins, Colo. dlFOIJ STATE SET TO GO SACRAMENTO, Dec. 13 (UP) Perhaps tho war with Japan caught some state agencies nap ping, as it did most everyone else, but it wasn't long until a coordinated state program was underway. The California state guard was all s-t to move Into high gear and quickly delegated men to take over guarding of vital bridges, railroads and highways. It was Indicated this service would be Increased as necessary, particularly If more funds are voted by tho legislature. Tho state defense council wasted no time In tackling the problems of defending the state. Governor Olson called It Into session Monday and was Joined Tuesday by Mayor La Guardla of New York City, civilian de fense administrator, and Mrs. blcanor Roosevelt, wife of the president. The air raid alurms and black outs up and down tho coast Monduy night revealed many shortcomings and Indicated there is much educational work to be done befuro the coordina tion between military and civil ian groups Is perfected. Ono of the most vital re sources In the state are the forests, and forest fire lookout stations were, manned, with ad ditional stations available if necessary. The state division of forestry concentrated its 250 fire trucks around strategic centers, such as San Diego, Sac ramento, Los Angeles, San Fran cisco and other defrnso points, where they could supplement regular fire and pollco depart ments. The capitol Itself presented certain problems which are be ing remedied as rapidly as pos sible. Attempts to have a com plete blackout on tho first air raid alarm revealed Hint the huge 14-foot windows In most of tho offices needed blacking out. Particularly the offices of the press associations, telephone building, bureau of criminal identification and highway pa trol the lights Inside had to keep burning and the ordinary shades failed to keep the light Inside. Light tight coverings were manufactured hastily. All state buildings were placed under 24 hour doublo guard, with all doors locked after 6 p. m. and passes required for entrance, with a sign-In and sign-out book used. No chances were being taken on damaging the scat of the state's govern ment. The highway patrol and di vision of highways issued warn ings for motorists to stay at homo nights except on emerg ency driving. Diversion of traffic was mapped out for emergencies, particularly In areas where mili tary movements were important. Tho stato controller announced ho was holding up payment of claims to Japanese except salary payments, upon the advice of tho U. S. district attorney and secret service. Undoubtedly thcro will be other stops taken against Japanese by state agen cies, excepting, of course the American citizens of Japanese descent who are stato employes. IT'S DR.
