Stanton Governor Paul Patterson's appeal to federal agencies for small timber sales during the winter months holds pos sibility for averting a serious economic slump. It is to be hoped that the Bureau of Land Management and U. S, For est Service can cut through red tape with enough speed to get the governor's plan into operation in time to reduce the anticipated unemployment load. If a successful program is worked out by the federal agencies, in cooperation with the State Board of Forestry, the plan should be given care ful observation. It 5s possible that it may open the way for future leveling off of employment peaks and valleys tradi tional with the timber industry. The industry is highly seasonal. Logs are harvested in good weather. Woods workers then face from three to five months of idleness, the period depending entirely upon weather conditions. Governor Patterson has proposed that small tracts of timber, accessible during the winter, be offered for sale immediately. He obtained prompt agreement from the two federal agencies to cooperate, but normal procedure must be tossed out the window if the governor's plan is to be made operative. Rd Tap Involved Both the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Serv ice are understaffed in their field divisions. Neither agen cy can offer salaries comparable to those paid' by private industry. By the time they have a man trained for field work, he is able to secure a better paying job with some timber company. Existing regulations require extensive field work con nected with each sale. Prospective shows must be sur veyed, cruised, mapped and contract regulations written. Both of the federal agenoies have been hard-preased to keep up with the normal sales program. To be asked to set up a large number of small sales within a period of SO to 60 days presents a seemingly impossible program un less red tape can be slashed. The governor's plan is presented as an emergency. In such an emergency and one truly exists it is to- be honed that the federal agencies can set up emergency pro cedure. If authority can be granted at district level, limited to reasonably flexible regulations from regional and national headquarters, instead of having every detail reviewed by superiors, it should be possible to get the plan into execu tion. But it also will involve elimination of detailed sur veys, mapping, etc., readjustment of allowable cut restric tions, shorter advertising periods, substitution of log scal ing for cruising, and many other changes. Keep Small Mills Open Governor Patterson's idea is to keep small mills in op eration. A large number of these small plants shut down as soon as weather becomes inclement. They have little or no facilities for cold decking a supply of logs. They de pend almost entirely upon sawing logs as rapidly as they are delivered. If they could be kept going, trough small sales in their immediate localities, they could do much to provide at least partial employment during the winter months. The gov ernor wants the sales to be confined to salvage timber, as much as possible. This is indeed a commendable idea. But it will not be practical in some parts of the state. Given the utmost cooperation, the governor's emergen cy plan could materially reduce the seasonal employment valley normally expected in a Rtate so completely depend ent upon the timber industry. From this experience it may be possible (to work out schedules for future seasons. The plan will require fast organization, good timing, easing of regulations, and aid from counties in keeping roads in shape for winter use. But the benefits to be de rived merit the fullest endeavor on all levels, from the county through the federal government, to obtain the high est measure of success. in the Texas Saddle Mat &otJe - NEW YORK WF Most people have dreams. Sydney M. Siegel has a "Dreamopolis." That's a dream city. At 39 Siegel says he is now ready to make his dream city come true at a cost of 175 million dollars. lie and a group of 16 syndicate teammates figure that with that sum of money they can build what they believe will be America's first thoroughly planned modern city. It will be called Suffolk City. Siegel has assembled 2,000 acres lor its site near Yaphank, at the geographical heart of Long Island, aome 56 miles from Now York City. "I have been working on this for more than 6 years," said Sieg el quietly, "and when I have fin ished it, I don't care what happens to me afterwards. "The men who are in this with me need money like I need hair and I don't need hair. But it's not philanthropy. It's just a mixture of good business and good works." What he has m mind is an ideal suburban community of 6.000 mod erately priced homes. It will be completely .sclf-siKtaining, having its own industries, schools, churched, and shopping centers. "The New York area is one of the greatest reservoirs of skilled workmen to the world." .aid Sieigel. "And most of them would accept less pay and save money t that if they could work close to their homes nd avoid com muting into the city." Slegcl's scientifically planned town isn't just I drafting board project. He went into real estate lolling at the &ge of 19, pioneered in the building and management of suburban shopping centers. In the lajrt 5 years he has had a big hand in real estate transactions 'Tall NOVEMBER! ' When my mother was a small girl in the Willamette Valley, rem nants of Indian bands roamed free ly through the country. She was born near LaFayette, Oregon, in 1849, while Oregon was yet a Ter ritory. But her memories of the Indians were vivid. When she was yet a young girl, she was at Fort Dalles during the Cayuse wars. I thiok of all the stories she told me of the Indians of that time, the ones that touched me most was the apparent hunger of the Indian women for friendship and kind ness. While the squaw by persist- In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) totalling $200,000,000. He has had his tips and downs In the business. Shortly before going into the Army during the Second World War he talked a plumbing supply company into taking 17 old Manhattan brown- stone houses off his hands for l 30,000. "They did me a favor t the lime," he said, "because if any thing happened to me I didn't want my wife and kids stuck with the problem of handling those old houses. But now I kind of wish they hadn't done me the favor. The houses today are worth a mil lion dollars." Siegel now feels that real estate in old cities is stagnant and static, and that the best investment arc in the outlying suburban areas. "The modern industrial plants In the suburbs don't look like factory, and they don't create slum areas," he said. "They are built to resemble a high school, and they are well landscaped and have plenty of light and air." Five years ago, Siegel said, the project of building a complete new city would have been rejected as fantastic. "Today businessmen want to rent space In your shopping center before you can build it. What used to be fantastic is now accept ed as commonplace." Siegel expects to start building his dream community in the spring and finish it in about t months.

She was still an inferior being and was denied any hope of improv ing her position in the Indian ver sion of the life to come. My mother said that infanticide was a, common thing among moth ers who bore female children. This practice was followed in the belief that a girl was a burden on the band, yet there were Indian moth ers who used this custom as a pretext for removing their small daughters, whom they deeply lov ed, from the brutal treatment ac corded them by their own kind, to say nothing of the almost inevit able degradation of Indian girls at the hands of white renegades. It is unfortunate that early trav elers who saw .our Indjans at their best left little record to show the human side of these people. There are instances where these natives showed rare human fellings to wards the unfortunate by acts of kindness any humane white man would be glad to emulate. There was the story of the In dian girl who was purchased at the groat Indian market at Celilo. Slaves captured in battle by the Indians living east of the Rockies brought their captives to t h is common market.

July Business In Northwest Down 7 Per Cent SEATTLE W) Julv business activity in the Pacific Northwest was down seven per cent from June, the University of Washing ton' Bureau of Business Research reported Saturday. There was a 3 per cent drop in comparison to July of 1953. The bureau blamed the lumber strike for the adverse report. Unemployment was higher also in July, although there would have been a sharp improvement except for the strike. There were 42,000 unemployed in Washington and 35,000 in Oregon, of which 54,500 were involved in labor disputes. Crop production in the North west is down, the bureau reported. Acreage restrictions on what will cut the crop by 22 per cent in Washington and 25 per cent in Oregon, but high yields will bring the bushel total close to the 10 ycar average. The bureau forecast the Wash ington apple orop at 10 per cent below 1953 and 22 per cent below the 10-year average. Retail trade also lagged. Through Aug. 26, the following de clines were in: Portland area 5 per cent; Seattle area 1 per cent; Tacama area 3 per cent; Spokane area 7 per cent. The na tional decline was 3 per cent.

Stanton on the stream closure bill coming up for consideration in November. The hidden time bomb in this bill is the fact that it appears on the surface to be a constructive piece of conservation legislation while, actually, it doesn't touch upon "the cause of declining salm on and trout runs in coastal streams. Coastal streams south of the Coquille River, closed to all netting for the past 15 years, shows the same decline of fish runs as streams presently open to well regulated commercial fish ing. If the problem of declining salm on runs were to be solved by mere ly closing streams to netting, then it is obvious that these streams, such as Sixes River, Elk River, the fabulous Rogue, would show some present benefits from re moving nets. But here, as in those streams open to netting, there has been a steady decline in salmon and trout runs over the years. The salmon count at Gold Ray Dam on Bogue River indicates a progres sive decline of salmon runs for the past decade , ' Food supplies in such rivers as Sixes and Elk are ample. In fact, I have fished no western streams which showed a greater concen tration of aquatic insect life. The decline of fishing on Rogue Eiver can be attributed to poor screening of irrigation ditches, the increase in water temperatures, which makes a perfect environ ment for the fresh water parasi tic diseases which prey on fish. The upping of water temperatures always ocours on rivers where dams are built unless there is some provision for the drawdown to be made from the deeper wa ters acd not iron the warm top layer. The main cause oi aeoiining salmon and trout runs on coastal streams, however, is directly traceable to poor forestry prac tice. In short, it is irom uie Danx of the stream on out. Tend to the land properly and the streams will take care of themselves. Coquille River was a beautiful trout and salmon stream, support ing a large commercial fishery as well as providing wonderful sport fishing, until splash dams Were built on its several forks. These dams literally sluiced salmon and trout spawning gravel downstream leaving bare bedrock and huge boulders where trout and salmon formerly spawned. These splash dams, happily, are now things of the past, with the exception of Coos River, but their effects will be with us for years to come. Now, with logging concentrated on the headwaters of coastal streams, destruction of remaining spawning beds goes on at an ap palling rate. Present logging oper ations of the Coquille River drain age alone are responsible for 50 impassable log and brush barriers preventing salmon and trout reach ing their spawning grounds The, overall problem of restor ing salmon runs is the problem of protecting and restoring water sheds of coastal streams. This riv er closure bill is not even remotely concerned with that. FRANK E. SEJLL Riverton, Ore. TALKING ABOUT A HOME? . So mony people do noth ing but talk about it!
