' OR PAUL BUNYAN7 ?

A practical solution to a tough engineering problem, worked out by Earl West. who lives on the back channel. is contained in letter re- ceiyed this week by George BtdWell. It seems MT. Bidwell gave expres- sion to the idea that a profitable business might be worked up here in town with a still if only the excel lent little creek which flows by Vests place were located in Wrah- gen, and facetiOusly suggesting that his friend move the creek into town. and the two partners would "clean up" MT Vests classic reply reads as follows:
 "Friend George,
 "I received your letter and l want to thank you for your idea of sending the creek into town to you. would never have thought of it myself. but I suppose you have had more experience moving creeks than I have.
 Well. l took your advice and made a raft out of some big logs, then l stopped up the mouth of the creek so that the water could not get out. Then I went up to the headwaters of the creek and dug up the end, which l wound around a yellow cedar pole, and rolled the creek down hill to the beach and right out onto the raft.
 Tt is too much to tow into town by hand, so if you will come out and tow it in, everything will be OK. Better hurry, as I snagged the creek several places on the brush aad 1t is leaking badly.-Your friend, Earl E. West"

AMERICAN PEOPLE GIVE
 30 MILLION DOLLARS IN
 11-YEAR FIGHT ON POLIO

In the last eleven years the Am erican people have contributed $29,562.74254 to conquer infantile paralysis, Basil O'Connor, president of The National Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis. announced today at the opening of the annual meet ing of the medical advisory com mittees of the national foundation at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. At that meeting applications for grants to carry on medical research will be considered and further plans for carrying on the fight against in- fantile paralysis will be made.
 This money was raised through the celebration of President Roose- velt's birthday and the march of dimes. held in January of each year, starting in 1884.
 Sixteen million dollars, or more than half of the total given, wac raised in the two years of 194S and 1914. Mir O'Connor said.
 "The increase in donations in 1943 and 1914, which probably was due in part to the high incidence of the disease, assured the National foundation that the public wished it to intensity it's activities and to widen it's entire field of opera tions, he added

 Finally, a 30-foot long gun was lowered down to 15.26S feet This gun was studded on all sides with small openings filled with steel jacketed cartridges. An electrical connection discharged them, to penetrate both the pipe. the con crete around it and 15 to 20 feet back into the oil sands. Oil enters the well through these holes.

PREDICTS NO LETDowN BY NORTHWEST WORKERS
 WHEN GERMANY FALLS

Rumors of planned celebrations involving stoppage of work on the day that Germany capitulates were deprecated today by Rear Admiral Is. A. Pathfinder, commandant of the 18th naval district.
 q am confident that such work stoppages will not take place in the Northwest" said the comman- dant, "as the home front here real izes the truth of the slogan, two down and one to go,' effective when Germany is defeated.
 Production must continue. Ships load and sail from the Pacific Northwest ports and as these COL tinue as they did on Labor Day. the biggest holiday that labor cele- brates. l am sure there will be no stopping when the European war is over.
 Let us remember these things:
 1. The Allied nations progress Is remarkable on all fronts. The fu- ture looks bright both in Europe and in the Pacific.
 2. The war with Japan demands an all out effort in me Pacific.
 8. The Pacific Coast will be in greater and greater measure the springboard from which our planes ammunition and supplies leap to the front to down the Japs
 4. We learn that the army will demobilize men as the Atlantic phase of the war is over, but in the Pacific the army and navy must fight on with adequate strength to bring a real V-Day.
 5. We want to get our fighting men in the Pacific back home as soon as we can. They are doing their best to finish the job and get home. If Japan were defeated at the same time Germany is We could get all of them back at the same time and have a true V-Day.
 6. Let Us not risk delaying the return of our fighting men one day by knocking off work for even one day when Germany is out.
 2. The naval commandants on the west coast are united, as are all the people on the coast, in, not alone thorough job but through job with no stops

NAZIs REPEAT OLD LINE NAMES

NEW YORK-In World War the Germans had a "siegfried Line" and also a "Wotan" line on the western front. showing that the Nazis have not been pioneers in in- voking the names of ancient Teu- tonic heroes.
 The earlier Siegfried line. con siderably shorter than its World War II namesake which parallels the Rhine, was created in 1916 as an outpost of the northern part Of the Hindenburg line It protected the supply depots of Douai ahd Cambrai. The Wotan line was an- other protective installation, 12 miles long
 Both positions were oyerrun by the British in the autumn of 1918 and became death traps for the Germans
