Lake, Modot and 8llrhwi Ooqntlm Thro Month , fill Monlhi One Var Abate This Menace CONTINUOUS flood conditions in the Alfroms district have become, with full justification, a matter of serious nublic concern. Health and sanitation phase of the problem, have attention of health authorities by the Kiamatn county chamber of commerce. The flood is a menace to here. When it first occurred, a considerable time, at great inconvenience to the public. In the last year, the stretch of road that was built in the flood emergency was threatened,, and it will be in danger again in high water periods so long as the flood continues. Blocking of this important highway has serious military as well as civil aspects. The flood is likewise a menace to an important local industry, the Algoma Lumber company for a break in the south dike there would flood the company's yards. It is hardly necessary to argue that the flood has caused a most undesirable condition, and that good sense calls for its immediate elimination. The fact that the flood has caused a great deal of litigation in circuit court and that the question of liability for it has not been set tled legally does not, it seems to us, justify permitting this condition to continue indefinitely while the court processes grind slowly and may drag on for years. It is to the public interest that a reasonable plan, wholly separate from the litigation and not affecting it in any way, should be devised for eliminating and abating this nuisance. It is our understanding that the county court has indicated its willingness to use its good offices in working out the problem, without; however,': involving the use of county money. Because of the public interest involved, such action by the county court should be jus tified. z It has become a reflection on this community that the situation has been allowed to continue. Right now is the time for getting together on a plan to do something about it Evacuee Labor Question THE semi-official outline - of plans ;f or possible use of evacuee labor from war relocation authority colonies in harvesting autumn crops, which appeared in this paper yesterday, did not indicate what micht be H thing, about getting such help evacuees going to and from the Tulelake Japanese settle ment daily. It would seem that inasmuch as the colony is located in the middle of an area where there is a huge autumn crop, some arrangement of that kind would be in. order. It would probably be better if the Klamath basin autumn harvest could be carried on without the use of evacuees, but in case of a serious emergency, their availability should be assured. It is apparently definitely decided -that evacuees can not be used anywhere in California for work off the pro ject. But the regulations do permit their use in that part of the Klamath basin within Oregon and east of highway No. 97. The unanswered question is whether they could travel back and forth daily from the project, eliminating the necessity of providing them with living quarters on the farms on which they work. Reason, we believe, would require an affirmative answer to that question. Medford city councilmen have taken action designed to do something about family rows. Hope springs eternal.

Aug. 18 Signs ar rising over Europ mat timer may turn away from Russia in September, after greatly weakening rd pown or resistance wtn nis current blows, and! shin his air force and much of his strength for a drlv on Britain and da fens - of west ern Europ ugainst the day sat of a second front. He can either PautNalloo do this, (and confront us with a much more formidlble array of power there), or try to break through the Caucasus, overrun the Near East, and attempt to crush allied re si star.ee in that whole part of the world, including Egypt. A- winter change of fronts, however, seems a plausible and logical expectation, in view of two developments, the prospec tive weakness of Russia, and Hitler's need to defend his Ger man cities from the terrific air bombing they have been get ting, and will receive, in in creasing winter force. Indeed, if Russian resistance is sufficiently weakened, he could maintain both fronts at once, because he could then spare the bulk of his air power from the Near East attack, where long allied lines of sup plies prevent concentration of a major force. In this connection, suddenly the other night Goebbel's Berlin radio started blaring the news around the world that we are to open a second front through. Dakar and northern Africa. This was no doubt a feeler to find but what would be done; but it sounded also as if such a step might upset or hinder the plans Hitler is supposed to have for - a' winter concentration against Britain. In any event, no one here is telling him any thing. RUSSIAN WEAKNESS The winter . prospects, of course, hinge on the weakness ot Russia, and the situation on that subject is easy' to see. The reds have had. time to erect some earthwork and concrete protection., in depth .around Stalingrad, but the' ground is not well suited to defense. It is level in general, and nowhere near as formidable a natural barrier to the nazi, advance as was presented at Leningrad and Moscow. Industries have been' moved out of the city, up toward Sara. tov and Kuibishev, and even deeper into the Urals, but the facts of Russia's desperate trans portation, manufacturing and food situation must be faced, Three fourths of her war-time traffic facilities v will go when the Volga is cut, so greatly has She relied on the boats of that great river. Even- in peace, half of all her traffic moved on that stream. .. To add :to her transportation difficulties, . one- third of her railroads are al ready gone. Most of her richest fields are now in nazi hands, and a food shortage is in prospect this win ter. : Four-fifths of her normal oil supply will be . lost to her when the Germans cut the Cau. casus routes of trade, through the Black and Caspian seas. Only one tenth of her oil lies safe behind the Urals. - ' She can still keep Germany away from most of this oil if she can hold the east-west line of the Caucasus mountains, but the nazis made a clever early .effort to cut through the center of that line. CAUCASyS LINE On their way southeast to Grozny, they slipped a line of troops off into a good road ud ah. fcJDrus, highest mountain in Europe, and took it, threatening to break through the mountains and cut off. Russian troops fight ing west of that point. The main fight for the rich Baku oil prize, however,' is ex pected to come after Grozny, on the narrow (and bad) roads over the foothills, southward from that point to Baku. This Caucasus line is more important than Stalingrad'. It Russian defense can be strongly maintained there, .the near east is relatively safe. If the Germans break down Timo shenko's resistance on that front, they can roll . right on through the Near East, endan gering Egypt and all allied re sistance in that quarter of the world,, cutting completely our southern' access to Russia, . AH these facts together, at this date, while the battle stiU rages, mean Russia is weaken ing, may grow , weaker during the winter. It means we must face greater power on any sec ond front, .that every passing mo SIDE GLANCES II Hw. t2I Li'iu tiff a ) S ow tsbe patriotic and t When the fight that's going much more that the best time for it has already gone. ftaturally, however, we can not start it until our military men think we have enough pow er to win it. INVASION IS CERTAIN There will be a second front, make no mistake about that. Pay no attention to the nonsense being spread around this coun try by some of the experts. For instance, one is broadcasting that Dieppe proved a second front was impossible, because dozens of. different umbrellas, composed, of a thousand planes each, would have to be placed over each invasion point end not that many planes are avail able. ..- All we need for invasion is superiority , in the ".air at .the points of invasion. If the Ger mans have 1000 planes we should have 1200, but if they hive only 100 we need no more than 123. Invasion is not only possible, but certain, even if it becomes a tougher problem. Government Asks .' Order to Force t ' AP News Service ;': NEW YORK, Aug. 28 P) The government, depicting the Associated tress as premier among news services of the United States and contending that a newspaper without it suffers competitive disadvant ages, asked federal district court today for an order to force "the AP" to serve any . news paper willing to pay the cost, The Chicago Sun was men tioned specifically as having been unable to obtain member. ship in the Associated Press; likewise the Washington Times- Herald. A civil complaint filed by the government in the southern New York district court dealt with corporate matters solely. it paid high tribute to the oner atlons of the Associated Press and emphasized, its reputation for impartiality, accuracy, thoroughness and speed. We would not be content to sit behind concrete fortifica. lions, we should take every chance to strike, especially where the enemy is least ex pecting us. Gen. Sir Harold R L. G.

(To the Edi tor) Thcro stands a llttlo old houso on tho Murdock placo near Klamath Fulls. This house Isn't much for looks now but at ono time It was a pretty fino house In fact, the finest house In the county, and I believe It Is the oldest house standing lit present in the county. It was a framo house ot four rooms with a porch across tho front. It wos built In 1870 by the Into O. A. Stearns who bought the present Murdock land from the state. Mr. Stearns and his family lived In this houso a good many years, then ho built a large house which wns burned down. Mr. Stearns al ways kept "travel" and after he built the large houso ho used the old house for a bunk house. All of his four children wore born in this old hou.te with the exception of Blanche (Mrs. G. W. After.) Sho was born on n home- stead Mr. Stearns was taking up on the lower end of what is the Murdock place now, By the way, Mrs. Ager lived In three counties without being off the homeYarm.'
