Klamath s Population, Economic Outlook for I950 Shown in Survey By MALCOLM EPLEY If Klamath county capitalizes on its opportunities, its popula tion will rise to 46,430 in 1950, BUT If certain trends in evidence in 1943 are allowed to continue through 1950, population may decline to approximately 31,930. That, briefly, is the challenging picture of Klamath's popula tion and economic outlook for the immediate future as presented in a report just completed by the Bonneville power administra tion on a survey of the "Economic Base For Power Markets In Klamath County, Oregon." Made at the invitation of the city and county administrations and the chamber of commerce, the Bonneville survey findings are described by the men in charge as "indications of prospects based on the known facts," but "not as definite predictions." Opportunities Listed The Bonneville surveyors declare that an inevitable decline in lumber production, as presently carried on, must be'supplant ed by employment of more workers in lumber remanufacturing and other phases of forest products industries, in agricultural ex pansion, in food processing, mineral processing, and service in dustries. ...... "Development of a number of potential opportunities could result in a population increase of about 15 per cent by 1950 In stead of a decline of 20 per cent," says the survey. r The best DrosDect lies in em ploying more workers in pro- YANKS SEIZE RAILWAY NEAR TOWN CENTER Battles Fought At Both Ends of Front " AREZZQ IIV ITALY By NOLAND NORGAARD ROME,- July 5 (JP) Eighth army troops, converging from the southwest and south, have driven within five miles of the important communications cen ter of Arezzo on the road to Florence while American units on Italy's west coast have moved up to the outskirts Of Rosiena- no, less than 13 miles airline irom Lilvorno, allied headquar ters announced -today. -w--.

Munitions Ship odes in Danish Harbor STOCKHOLM. July 5 (IP) The free Danish press service asserted today that a German munitions ship blew up in Aarhus harbor yesterday causing damage estimated at close to $25,000,000. First reports from under ground sources indicated that at least 80 persons were killed and 300 injured by the blast which damaged possibly 1000 buildings in Aarhus, the second city of Denmark, and set fire to several other vessels in the harbor. Earlier the news agency had said that order and normal con ditions are returning to Copen hagen after a five-day general strike and disturbances which forced concessions from German occupation authorities. Tho Germans promised to withdraw their Schalbure (coun ter-sabotage) corps, lift the cur few shortly, enforce no reprisals because of the strike, fire on no crowds unless weapons are seen and agree to the request of tramway workers to close the transport system at 9 p. m. in stead of 11 p. m., the service said. cessing the lumber. Remanufac turing of lumber and expansion of plywood manufacture could increase employment in forest products industries by 850 workers. A pulp and paper mill could add another 350 .workers and utilization of mill waste in alcohol distillation another 65.

An additional' 150 farmers .cpyld .be employed by "Improving existing farms and dividing some of the larger ones. Food processing industries, in cluding additional meat packing, potato dehydration, and the util ization of waste agricultural pro ducts in distillation of alcohol and in manufacture of glucose and starch, could employ 390 workers in 1950 compared with 178 in 1940, "Expansion in the Iron, steel and machinery industry, with the establishment of an electric steel furnace, could increase em ployment to at least 150 work ers compared with 108 in 1940 Manufacture of lightweight bunding materials could provide jobs for an additional 100 work ers.
