A woman stand- ing nearby vehemently replied "I've lived In California for; 15 years, and I never saw it as "hot as this there any time," Her case is unusual. ! . T. B. Fredendalr of Pomona, California, made a different! re ply. He registered at the munic ipal camp yesterday afternoon, and was making no complaint. When asked if he had ever had it that hot, he said, "Yes, we often have it this warm at Pomona." Pomona is within 30 miles of the ocean, and a sea breeze usually comes up during the day to re lieve (he heat. Mr. Fredendall raises oranges, and reports the outlook good this year., June and July were fairly cool, and grow ing conditions were 'excellent. "You surely have beautiful roads here in Oregon" he said. A trip up the Columbia river high way, and around the Mt. Hood loop were very pleasing. He likes the appearance of the Willamette valley, but declared that develop ment did not seem near comlete. Things appeared prosperous and thrifty, but he felt that intensive development," California style, would make people even more prosperous. Mr..
