Our Valley By CHARLES IRELAND r,. Back in harness after three weeks of smog, sweat and fears on Los Angeles' freeways and Iowa's cornfields . . . This time wc avoided the terming center of Greater Los Angeles and stuck a reporter s hatpin into the suburbs, in quest of some happy things to write about . . . Turned out to be the biggest w Ud goose chase since Ponce de Leon went prospecting for the Fountain of Youth . . . All that oo,:ed out of the little test holes we drilled was tao many houses built too close together, clot 'ted highway traffic and. of course, smog. We have re'vr-r run with the little herd of chain Inistic ost riches w jo thinU that o.ir beautiful Willamette Valley is the only gai den spot in tlie I . S. A., but our book is now virtually closed on f.c.yaiinj w.ihin a 50 mile radius of the Los Ange'cs City Hall . . . I'artirulariy disappointing were the Orange Coun ty cities of Anaheim, l ullcrton, Santa Ana. etc., as well as the more distant towns of San Bernardino and Riverside . . Even these once outlying cities have for practical purposes, been swallowed by the insatiable maw of Los Angeles. V Garden Grove, a southeastern community not far from Dis neyland, was described as the fastest growing area in all of Los Angeles . . . Massive tracts of new homes cold rows of treeless, stucco boxes made the statement appear credible . . . Garden Grove was making plans to incorporate as a city; its bulging weekly newspaper was about to become a daily; the front page of its current edition was glutted with accounts of neighbor hood crime. A weekend respite from (he hurly-burly of Los Angeles took us UMI miles east to I'alm Springs, the swank winter re sort . . . Talm Springs is a city of 380 motels, 800 swimming pools and absolutely no lflr hamburgers . . . I'alm Springs has a win'or population of 3.V00O which, in the past, has melted as fast as the snows of nearby Mt. Sun Jacinto with the sum mer sun . . . Hut the hig news about Palm Springs is that it is increasingly becoming a year-round play town . . . Despite the 108-degr'ee June h"at, many motels displayed "no vacancy" signs, and we stood in line for a breakfast table. Real rotate, particularly motel property, is big business in Palm Spnngs . . . Our innkeeper said he had paid $60,000 re cently for his modest hostel (six motel.units and a swimming pool i. and he confidently expected to burn the mortgage with in three years . . . We noted, however, quite a few motels for sale in the Palm Springs News, a unique newspaper that is pub lished daily during the winter and weekly in summer. ' Bark in eastern Iowa it was crackling hot, and the farm ers and small town merchants were talking more about the lack of rain than about farm prices . . . The farm situation in Iowa has been chronicled well . . . The big, solid farmer who made upwards of $20,000 a year during the late 40' s may have lost money in 1955. but he is neither panicky nor In trouble . . . The chap who went heavily in debt for farmland and machinery during that same period is in boiling water . . . Bankers are on the spot, and some banks are beginning to separate the men farmers from the bojs. Retail spending appeared to be holding up well in Iowa . . . "The farmers complain about prices,'' one longtime merchant said, "but when we get a rain they come to town and spend their money'' . . . We departed Iowa with two conclusions: The corn will be knee-high by the Fourth of July, and Eisenhower, if he runs, will carry the state by a smashing margin in November. School Vote At Mill City; Gates Slated luiraui a rict MILL CITY - Gates and Mill City School Districts will vote again Monday on a union high fchool proposal. Earlier this year the two dis tricts favored a union high school that would include a portion of Fox Valley. The election was void ed later when Fox Valley voted against coming into the union hi?h school. Two questions will be decided at Monday's election: U1 Whether the new union high school dis trict should he established: and 'i whether the present Mill City Hifh School grounds and property should be transferred to the pro posed union high school district. Directors cf present Mill City and Gales school board would serve as a 10-man board for the union hish district at the start. Construction of a new high school hui'din? is contemplated if the new district Ls approved. Dignitaries Cut Ribbons to Open Renovated Dallas Bank I ii p n ' , .If ! .( 'r - 'j, 1 I v .

The Rogue Indians were the most ; troublesome of the entire lot. They , persisted obstinately in their sav-1 age practices, and fiercely defied all efforts to become peaceful and ! civilized.
