River Waterfront
Study Outlines
Plans for Future
Recommendations for specific
use of the- Mid Columbia reg
ion's 163 miles of Columbia River
waterfront are made in a plan
ning studv report prepared by
the Division of Planning and
Development. Oregon Depart
ment of Commerce, for the Mid
Columbia Planning Council.
Maps totaling some 15 lineal
feet are required to describe the
land use allocation and develop
ment plan for the regional
waterfront strip two to six miles
in width and reaching from the
Wallula Gap on the east to the
Multnomah County line on the
west.
The development plan in
cludes all of the Columbia
River frontage in the six coun
ties of Hood River. Wasco, Sher
man, Gilliam, Morrow and Uma
tilla. Recommended allocations are
made for the shorelands among
urban, industrial, agricultural,
recreational and wildlife use.
More than 24 man-months went
into the studies and preparation
of the report, plus another 12
man-months into background
reports prepared by other agen
cies and consultants and util
ized in the development plan.
The plan is described as a
"logical and rational allocation
of land use that will encourage
the expansion and diversifica
tion of the region's economic
bases of agriculture, industry
and recreation."
Objectives and guidelines in
the report are "based on the as
sumption that the people of the
region desire orderly develop
ment of their lands so as to con
serve its natural resources and
beauty, enhance their environ
ment, and stimulate further di
versity of the economy ."
Objectives and recommendat
ions for action include:
On urbanization, adoption of
a master plan and its imple
mentation by "land use" ord
inances is recommended to lo
cal governments to achieve the
objective of conserving prime
agricultural land and of restrict
ing urbanization to existing
communities to provide urban
facilities at minimal cost
To preserve the scenic and
recreational assets of the Col
umbia, industrial development
should be carefully guided and
controlled at planned industrial
centers, which have high stand
ards of design, Construction,
landscaping and maintenance.
To provide for development of
recreational resources to their
optimum potential, recommend
ed action includes acquisition
and development of major rec
reational areas by responsible
agencies, convenient highway
access, small boat facilities in
or near major recreational sites,
more viewpoints, wayside parks,

Ag Economists
Expect Higher
Market Prices
HURRY! HUNDREDS OF
ITEMS ON SALE
REXALL DRUGS
Although a few of Its riders
will miss the brass ring, that
merry-go-round called the Unit
ed States economy will continue
turning to the tune of prosper
ity. Writing In the current Issue
of Oregon's Farm and Market
Outlook circular, Oregon State
University Extension agricultur
al economists say that wheat
prices will depend heavily on
what happens to production be
tween now and next July. They
also look for higher potato and
onion prices this fall and win
ter and favorable 19ti7 livestock
market prices.
In viewing the general econ
omy, Stephen Marks, OSU agri
cultural economist, says the
present indicators point in favor
of the optimists who look for a
continued upward thrust in bus
iness activity, although they rec
ognize some sectors of the econ
omy may be somewhat draggy.
He said that mast observers
look for a further rapid rise in
wholesale and consumer prices
in 1967 despite efforts to curb
inflation.
"The past five-year period of
cost stability looks like It will
soon be only a pleasant mem
ory," he said.
Marion Thomas observed that
most Oregon farmers will be
able to harvest all the grain
they like in 1967 without losing
federal program benefits. Allot
ments have been Increased to
about 80 per cent of plantings
before the 1954 quotas went In
to effect and wheat may be sub
stituted for barley on diverted
land.
Domestic prices will depend
heavily on day-to-day decisions
regarding export certificates and
export payment rates, he noted.
As for potatoes, Marks said
signs point to a bigger fall crop
in Oregon but a smaller- one na
tionally, hence higher prices.
The important Idaho crop is
having one of the worst grow
ing seasons on record with scat
tered frosts serving up the coup
de grace In late August The
' size of Idaho's fall crop will In
fluence Oregon prices.
Oregon may produce a fall
croo of 9.7 million sacks com-
j pared with 9.3 million last year,
i Onion growers should enjoy
better prices as the 1966 U. S.
crop promises to be one of the
small ones produced in recent
years, according to Marks. New
York is down a third and Cali
fornia expects 11 per cent more
onions. Western Oregon growers
may harvest a slightly larger
crop, but eastern Oregon and
Idaho crops may be 5 per cent
smaller.
Provided the drought does not
get worse, cattle and lamb pric
es may be as good or better than
in 1966, according to Marks.
Hogs are likely to average low
er, but not as low as in some
recent years.
He said poultry and pork
promise to be more plentiful In
1967, but beef may be scarcer.
The reason is that cyclical ad
justments whittled down cattle
numbers in 1965 and slaughter
continued heavy this year. This
means fewer cattle for market
in 1967.
There is strong evidence that
feeders are not curtailing feed
lot replacements despite higher
feed costs and high interest on
borrowed money. Feed supplies
for the year ahead promise to
be smaller than last season but
somewhat larger than expected
earlier. The long range outlook
for feed cattle prices Indicate fa
vorable returns from feedlot op
erations. The slaughter volume of
lambs so far this year indicates
stability in numbers of stock
.sheep and about the same size
lamb crop in 17 as in 16.
Marks said that how far hog
prices drop depends on produc
tion responses to changes in
prices, size of the corn crop and
corn prices.
Copies of the current outlook
circulars are available from
county extension offices of the
OSU Bulletin Clerk.
