Economic Aspeots Interest "Besides this scientific point, there is also great interest In the economic aspects whether, if nature is still building, It would be necessary to strengthen buildings against damage in the future.

Prof. Hodge said the earthquake occurred In a region which, bo fur as history shows, has been comparative ly free of disturbances. He said Walla Walla and Milton Freewater felt the earthquake par ticularly because the cities are built on alluviul deposits left by the rivers flowing westward from the Blue Mountains. K.
