Professor Says N. W. Headed
For More Jarring Quakes
Seattle, March 16 VP) Is the Pacific northwest headed for more
bone-jarring earthquakes?
Yes, says one University of Washington professor who made a
study of the quake which rocked this region loose from its
chimneys last April 13.
It's impossible to say, another
arthquake authority at the uni
versity said. It's something we
absolutely cannot predict; no
body can do that.
The gloomy view is taken by
Prof. Alfred L. Miller, of the
civil engineering department and
chairman of the earthquake
committee of the Pacific North
west Conference of the Ameri
can Society of Civil Engineers.
His committee issued a state
ment today urging the adoption
of a building code which would
cope with the earthquake poten
tion of this area.
"Studies demonstrate conclu
sively," the committee statement
said, "that earthquakes are nor
mal natural phenomena of this
region, to be expected from time
to time with equal or greater se
verity than those of record in
the 109 years of documented
history."
This, the committee believes,
should be acknowledged by man
datory requirements of earth
quake resistant design and con
struction in all building codes of
the Pacific northwest.
Geology Professor Howard
Coombs, who is considered one
of the most earthquake-conscious
and informed men on the
campus, is "sorry that such a
statement has been made."
"Nobody knows whether we
will have equal or greater
earthquakes," he said, "I don't
care who they are. The only
thine we have to go on is the
past record.
"It is fairly complete for the
past 100 years and I would say
that the most we can anticipate
is some more of the same.
By this he meant that last
year's quake, which he calls an
"eight" because it has that rat
ing on a scale of 12 different
intensities, may be repeated,
"We've had three eights," he
explained. "One was in 1904, the
second in 1909 and the one last
year. An eight knocks chimneys
off buildings and bricks from
walls. A 'nine' would topple
buildings and tear walls from
structures, generally "
Checking his records, Coombs

65 Farm Units
For Homestead

affairs was informed this week.
have been opened to homestead-
ing since World War II, accord-
ing to the reclamation bureau.
Veterans' priority on home
steads and on public irrigated
lands for sale amounts to a 90
day application period before
other applications are consider
ed. Requirements generally in
clude two years of farming ex
perience, health and character
qualifications, and capital
amounting to between $2000 and
,$3500.
Eleven of the farms covering, Applications for public notices,
723 acres are located in the Rozai when openings are announced,
division of the Yakima projectlshould be made to the regional
in Washington and 54 units
amounting to 7000 acres are in
the Riverton, Wyoming, project,
according to a brochure received
here from the federal bureau of
reclamation, which administers
public openings on irrigated
lands.
An additional 974 acres com
prising 50 farm units also will
be sold by the reclamation bu
reau this year in the Burbank
unit of the Columbia basin irri
gation project. These are lands
purchased from private owners
and irrigated by the government.
Here again, veterans of World
War II will have first chance to
acquire the land.
No homestead openings are
scheduled for this year in the
Klamath project at Tule Lake
nor in the Boise project in Idaho,
but the reclamation bureau says
future projects in the 17 western
states "now under construction
or to be constructed will create
an additional 100,000 family
sized farms."

units consisting of 74,133 acres
Lutheran Aid

Silverton The officers and
department secretaries of Trin

the parsonage to discuss working
plans for the remainder of the
year.
The president, Miss Nettle Hat-
teberg, was in charge of the
meeting. Other executive offi
cers are Mrs. Lawrence M. Lar
son, Mrs. Oscar Satern and Mrs.
Adolph M. Haugen. The depart
ment secretaries in attendance
were Mrs. O. H. Moen, Mrs. M.
O. Hatteberg, Mrs. Ed Holden,
Mrs. Olaf Anderson, Mrs. Marie
Riveness and Mrs. Alvin Legard
Mrs. Joseph A. Luthro served
refreshments during the afternoon.
Among events considered was
the Oregon Circuit Woman's Mis
sionary Federation convention to
be held at Longview, Wash
early in May. If sufficient num
bers in Silverton are interested
in attending it may be possible
to charter a bus for local trans
portation. Mrs. Beryl Kelly of Fairbanks,
Alaska, visited at the parsonage
home of Rev. Joseph A. Luthro
and Mrs. Luthro. Mrs. Kelly is
a member of the Lutheran con
gregation served by the Luthros

ing the Trinity pastorate since
last month.

said the Pacific northwest had
'sevens,' or lesser quakes, in
1920, 1939, 1945 and two in
1946. This, he feels may mean
a building up or may be merely
because modern instruments and
information are much more com
plete. "I'd say," Prof. Coombs con
cluded, "that anyone who pre
dicts heavier quakes than the
ones we have had is playing it
up a little. Maybe they are right
but nobody can say although
many have tried."

FAMOUS COOK BOOKS SAY.
...no difference
between
beet and cane sugar
A long time ago when Americans started to make beet
sugar the results were not always consistent. At that time
the sugar made from beets was different from the older,
established cane sugar.
However, for the past generation the two sugars have
been just the same, and today food experts agree that there
is no finer sugar than that made in our own Western beet
sugar factories.
One of our most widely used cook books says:
"Granulated sugar, whether from sugar cane
or sugar beets, can be used interchangeably."
