That is indicative, at least, that the public here knows of the dangers, and avoids them. It is to be hoped that this tradition will be borne out again this year. Fires, motor mishaps, and drowning, are the major haz ards of the holidays. While the woods and fields are not so dry as usual at this time, they are reaching EPLEY that stage where fire can start and spread quickly, and it is not time for carelessness in the open spaces. The grass, weeds and other undergrowth are unusually heavy, and it will undoubtedly be one of the most hazard ous fire seasons in years. War-time restrictions on speed should result in a better-than-usual traffic accident situa tion in the basin this year. Buckaroo Days, the rodeo at Beatty, and other events will bring an unusually heavy volume of traffic on the highways, however, with attendant in creases in hazards. Drownings are fairly frequent in this area, where , there are many lakes and canals that attract swimmers in hot weather. The pre cautions that prevent drownings are well known to everybody except the very small children. We're mentioning these things on the eve of the holiday season in the hope that they will sharpen public realization of the danger. ' a a a a Big Pool RECALLING the many years of struggle to get a new public swimming pool for Klam ath Falls, it is interesting to note that tha navy bureau of yards and. docks is just com pleting a magnificent pool, at the Marine Bar racks at a cost of something around $250,000. That federal financing for military purposes certainly makes a difference. , We nosed around a bit yesterday for sta tistics on this big pool, which is ample in size and all other facilities for any national or in ternational swimming meet the Olympic games, for instance. This pool is 164 feet one inch , 50 meters long. It is 75 feet wide.' At the deep end it has a depth of 9 feet, and at the shallow end 4 feet ' Its capacity is 568,000 gallons of water, and it will take 2tt days of pumping to fill it, beginning Monday evening. But once it is through a hydrant located near and below the swimming tank. The covered pool is the first big building to the left at the entrance of the Marine Bar racks. It is an outstanding facility, which should function as a valuable recreation fea ture of this area for all time. a a Poe Valley's Name SOME time ago Mrs. Buena Stone asked us to pass on a number of questions about local history, fishing for answers. We caught one for her and today we can tell something of the man for whom Poe valley was named. In McArthur's "Oregon Geographic Names" it is merely stated that Poe valley got its name from a settler who lived there before the Modoc war. Our neighbor. Earl Hamaker, knew quite a bit about this settler, because he happened to be Earl's great-grandfather. His name was A. M. Poe, and he settled in the valley about the time of the Modoc war, and lived there during its progress. His homestead was near the present-day Chet Barton ranch, on land now owned by Liskey brothers. After a few years there, he moved to Chehalis, Wash., where he spent the rest of his life. Mr. Poe was the grandfather of Anna M. Horton Hamaker, Bonanza, Mrs. Birdie Burk, Bonanza, and the late Jack Horton, The Foes were the parents of Mrs. William H. Horton, wife of a prominent and long-time settler and stockman of the Poe valley-Bonanza area. Heuvel Case VOLUNTARY action has been taken by Clr. cuit Judge David R. Vandenberg and Dis trict Attorney Clarence Humble, disassociating themselves from the Earl Heuvel case. These steps should have the effect of pre cluding any claims of political persecution or personal prejudices in the trial of this case. We think that the judge and the district attor ney would have functioned with absolute fair ness had they remained with the case. Their action, however, clears the atmosphere and the bench and prosecution will be represented by men from outside the community wholly disconnected with any background of this un fortunate case. We agree entirely with the recent letter on this page regarding the Heuvel case, written by Paul Lee. We think this case should be concluded as quickly as proper and possible through the medium of a fair trial. In the meantime we suggest local people resist an in clination to pre-conceived opinions about the case, permitting the facts to be brought out in the trial. a a a Revenue From Forests (From Salem Statesman) AT present the national forests pay 25 per cent of their receipts to the counties in which the forest lands are located. The amount is . thus quite irregular, depending as it does on the amount of timber sold and harvested and the price paid for same. ' The association of counties seeks a more stable income from this source. Since federally-owned lands are tax-free, the only way money can be obtained is by act of congress. So a bill has been in troduced calling for the annual payment of a fixed amount two per cent of the valua tion on an acreage basis, with provision for re- aDoraisal every 10 years, ; Whether this sum would be large or small would depend greatly on the appraisal, but the plan of a steady and regular income seems to have value. The forest service has long been willing to contribute more generously to the counties: the difficulty has been to agree on a formula and men to nave congress ap- SIDE GLANCES ''. a. wfa.tawrratjatTvo.axi T,ata.u a wT.err, . .mi9 "Hill uhv nin't I Ilea Mim.

Re-circulating filters and a chlor inating system will make it possible to use the water indefinitely "until it wears out." Its capacity, incidentally, is greater than that of the Marine Barracks water storage tanks located on the hill southeast , of the barracks. The water in the swimming pool will actually be added to the barracks fire-fighting water storage, for it will be available for fire-fighting the government on the same basis as private lands because the federal government makes other contributions, notably for construction of highways through forest lands which is very substantial in amount. . The problem is one for solution through conference of county and federal authorities, not through any attempt to pressure through legislation to graD on chunk of federal money. Glider Rescues Survivors O f Crash In Shangri-La ' 1 Br RALPH MORTON HOLLANDIA, New Guinea, June 28 (Delayed) (P) A glider army transport team reached down into the hidden valley of "Shangri-La" for a second time today and daringly brought five more persons out over the sur rounding 10,000-foot mountains. . The first operation yesterday by glider and two planes res cued a wac corporal and two army airmen wno survived a transport- plane crash into the primitive New Guinea valley 46 . nays ago. - Today the rescuers - brought out four Filipino parachute troopers, who were dropped in to ine vauey 10 aid tne crash survivors, and Alexander Cann, Netherlands information service cameraman, who landed to take . pictures of the . strange land scape. - - - .

Wac, Cpl,-Margaret Hastings, Oswego, , Y., one of the three rescued, was named the "Queen of the Valley" during the long ordeal, but she showed scant in terest in ever going back to "reign" over the tribesmen. . "No," she said, with twinkling eyes and a toss of her wind blown hair, "the native -women offered to make a throne but I refused. "What I want' most Is a show er and a permanent wave." - -. Crash Survivors - Cpl. Hastings, Lt. John B. Me collom of Trenton, Mo., and Sgt. Kenneth Decker of - Kelso, i Wash., were the only survivors of a plane crash that killed 20 army personnel of the Oranje mountain wall of the valley may jo. They had been on an aerial sightseeing tour of the strange area, which has been dubbed "Shangri-La" after the James Hilton book on a Tibetan Utopia. Suddenly they found themselves like the characters in the book trapped in a "place from where there was no apparent escape. i At headquarters here - today they told their story. - Dazed and bleeding, they found themselves on the slope near the burning place. Two other nassengers were alive. Mc- Collom gave them morphine to ease uie pain of their wounds, dui oom aiea witnin it nours, Among the dead were McCol- lorn s twin brotner.

They aie nam canay until tney were sick oi it. i our days after the crash a flier spotted the yellow raft, and soon food, clothing and medicine were parachuted to them. Two Filipino medical aid men ar rived by parachute and attended to tneir comDarativelv minor in. juries. A walkie-talkie radio was dropped. Cant.

The bottleneck, one of the worst recorded in the northwest. started last night when a bus bar carrying electrical current burned out, jamming a draw span raised to let a ship through, Many drivers took the next closest bridge between state: the Longview span 48 miles away. Mobs of swing shifters readv to leave shipyards were told to wait until tne bridge reopened, and nearly 1230 tinhatters on the graveyard shift were de layed, officials reported. Anxious police, highway offi cers, and sheriff's deputies had their hands full advising drivers on both sides of the span to turn around and go home.
