Surrounded on two fides by lumber pile and by dry ihed on the other two, the fire wii localized and eon fined to the planing mill itielf. Although the blare was well under control by 6:30, fighters - worked . through the night to guard againit further ipot fire and hold th smoulderirig ruin In check. ,v Louli Paitcga, a mill employ, aid the fir was tint noticed by "mule skinner" working in th yard. It wai detected al most simultaneously by four chain men. The alarm wai quickly turned into city police and th miU fire whistle called 11 available hands. Saved by the quick action war thousands of feet of shop lumber piled in sheds directly north of th blackened wreck age. Although flames destroyed th shop shed roof, they were quenched before they reached th finished lumber. Southern Pacific rails war so grotesquely warped and twisted form th intense beat that ob server believed it would be Meaner? for a railroad wrecker t lift th seven corejhsd bos ars from th mill remnants. At oon today millmen still were playing streams of water into blistered cars, inside of which closely packed lumbar was still flaming. Th sawmill, located at the north and of th Pelican Bay rounds, and dry kilns were not touched and continued full production today. Th box fac tory, at th other and of th property, was down today be cause th shaving conveyor, which passed through the plan ing mill, had been burned away. Mortenson said, however, th factory would resume operation tomorrow. Mortenson said th structure would be rebuilt "as soon as em bers graw cold." Availability of replacement machinery was being investigated, he said. Be issued th following in pirational statement to Pelican Bay employes last night as flames still raged in the levelled ssrilk " a. m. "July 14, 1841. To An Employes of the Fell' can Bay Lumber company: "You are all aware of the fact that wa lost our planing mill at a p. m., by fire. The manage ment is very thankful that we did not lose a great deal more. The management attributes the fact that we did not lose more to the very excellent, untiring able support given to th company by our employes, and for this we wish to express our sincere ap preciation. Also we wish to men tion with the highest degree of praise the assistance given us by the Klamath Falls fire depart ment. W believe that they played a substantial part in pre serving work for our employes and an unbroken payroll which Is always desired in any com munity. "Th management believes that we can continue operations practically without cessation or reduction of operations. Plans have already been formulated to accomplish this. ' We believe that within 24 hours we will practically be in operation in all departments. "The mill will operate tomor row morning (Wednesday) as us ual and also the dry kilns and the pinner at the kilns will run two shifts. We will very quick ly arrange to take the shavings from the box factory, and at this writing we can see no reason why it should not be in full operation Thursday morning. We expect to put on a night shift at the box factory planer so that we may use that for the time being In getting out lumber orders.' "We wish that all employes would get in touch with us im mediately. We have many gov ernment orders. We can win through this little mishap easily If we continue to fight as we did St the fire SO LET'S GO. "Sincerely yours, "Pelican Bay Lumber Co. "By H. D. Mortenson, president."

There was no indication that either the axis or the Brit ish were ready to undertake a large offensive at present, he said.) Again the RAF played a major part in the fighting, destroying some axis tanks and sending its medium bombers back "in force" against Tobruk last night, the bulletin said. While the heavy clash of ground forces occurred in the north, on the coastal end of the line, patrols and columns fought minor actions further inland in the central and southern sectors of the front between the Mediter ranean and the Qattara depres sion some 70 miles west of Alex andria. The communique did not in dicate the outcome of any of these engagements but said the RAF still was dealing the axis heavy blows to their hard-to-replace mechanized and armored equipment. Navy Issues Exultant Account Of Midway Battle (Continued from Page One) parliament July 2, when he told for the first time thaf "from some successful attacks on Japa nese carriers only one (Ameri can) aircraft returned out of 10." On action the navy cited was by navy torpedo squadron No. 8 30 men and 15 planes led by Lieut. Cmdr. John Charles Wai dron, 41, of Fort Piere, S. D.

Hen derson of Gary, Ind. During the marines' first attack on the Japanese fleet on June 4, his scout bomber was hit and set aflame. Henderson was last seen diving his blazing craft into the smokestack of a Japanese 'carrier. - Next Mot After the Coral sea victory- of May 4-8, the navy said, the high command decided the enemy's next thrust would be directed against some other section of America's Pacific defenses Ha waii, Alaska, the Panama canal or the Pacific coast. Consequently U. S. naval forces were deployed along the 1700 mile front between Midway island and the Aleutians in the north Pacific. Throughout the danger area, bases were rein forced with long-range, land based aircraft. Thus, the navy made clear, the fighting forces under supreme command of Ad miral Chester W. Nimitz, Pacific fleet chief, were ready when the blow fell. This was further borne out in a supplementary account which said that "the full fury of the U. S. naval task force lying in ambush oft Midway was poised to strike once the quarry was overtaken." Police Court Handles 15 Cases Police court was a busy place Wednesday morning, since no court was held on'Tuesday. Act ing Police Judge J. C. Hunt handled cases involving nine drunks, two drunk and disor derly, one disorderly, two vags and one no operators license. -T. J.

Farm Bill Gets Final Okeh; House Backs Down (Continued from Page One) sale price for the wheat at full parity for corn, or about 97 cents. Previously, the house had in sisted that such sales be made at not less than parity for wheat, or about $1.35 a bushel. ' The deadlock grew out of a senate demand that sale of 125, 000,000 bushels for feeding pur poses be allowed at 85 per cent of com parity, or about 83 cents. The administration favored j the senate version. It wants to stabilize llvestuck feed prices at below-parity levels to encourage maximum production of meat, dairy and poultry products for war needs.
