SUPERB FIRE
FIGHTING JOB
SOLUTES BLAZE
(Continued from Pf On)
d th fir fighting u met
Ingly effective. 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."

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.

Another deed of valor was at
tributed to Major Lofton R. 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."

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.

SECOND FRONT
(Continued from Page One)
has carried beyond Uogucliur,

of Stalingrad on the Volga.
Axis reports, unconfirmed,
sulci thnt another drive, further
south, had carried within six
miles of Kostov, at the mouth of
the Don, gateway to the Cau
casus, The Russians, Moscow report
ed today, have hurled back re
inforced German detachments in
one sector of the front west of
Voronezh, In the Don valley,
and are maintaining a stubborn
defense In others after giving
up more ground on the steppes
within the Don river bend.
Reserves
"Th Germans art being
forced to bring up reserves hur
riedly from the rear to tako
the place of their units which
have been put out of action,
said today's Kremlin commuiv
ique.
"Several divisions which 'ar
rived from France and Belgium
only a few days ago have bcon
observed.
The Gorman high command
today repeated its claim of rapid
progress along the whole vast
battlellne of southern Russia, re
porting further severance of
Russian communications,
Unofficially elaborating on
the second front theme, a Lon
don informant whose name
could not be used said:
"All preparations for opening
a second front are under way
and the objective is a front
which will be permanent, not
only a large hit and run raid."
According to military sources
in London, likewise Insisting on'
anonymity, the situation In
southern Russia has not neces
sarily reached a point where an
American-British Invasion of
the continent is essential to save
Russia's armies.

terpretation of tho new law, l-
though It is reported that lnJ;
somu counties the same position
is biting left vacant until elec

Another Interesting situation
is created by the fact that Ben

for re-clecllon as commissioner.
County Clerk Mae K. Short
sold that unless llenner with

appear on the ballot. If he does
withdraw, another nominee, will
