Apr. 13, 1849. The quake caused upwards of S20 million d!"since' then, while hundreds of workmen tore down, repaired or rebuilt damaged buildings, sev eral "after-shocks" and new tremors have been recorded. One of them, occurring on August 21, would hava been "catastrophic" if 1U epicenter had been on land, according to Prof G. E. Goodspeed of the University of Washington's ge ology department, but its force was spent under the ocean off the British Columbia coast. Frequency of the quakes In creased to such an extent that In October, 1949, the seismolog- 1 1 tnruu nf the U. fa. coast and geodetic survey raised the Pacific northwest s earthquake-probability ranking to zone III, equaling southern Cali fornia'shighest in the nation. Last week end, Dr. Beno Gu tenberg, seismologist of the Cali fornia Institute of Technology, aid California's frequency of quakes has been decreasing while the number In the northwest has been increasing. Repair Under Way A little more than 24 hours after Dr. Gutenberg's remark, thv University of Washington recorded another mild tremor 36 miles from Seattle.

During the severe Jolt, cascad ing brick accounted for four of the dead, many of the injured. Geologists and engineers studying the April 13 quake hope cities will adopt earthquake proof building codes quicker than did San Francisco and Los Angeles. "It took San Francisco 42 years after the 1906 quake . . . Los Angeles got around to It in 12 years after the Long Beach dis aster," said Prof. Alfred L. Mil ler of the University of Washing ton's civil engineering depart ment. Choice Given Professor Goodspeed says the choice is between "building earthquake-proof structures or constructing one-story, widely spaced buildings like Los An geles has learned to do. We have plenty of room here." When the subterranean mass moved last spring, fortunately thousands nf grade school chil dren were on Easter vacation.

City Council at Rogue River Draws Tentative Budget Rogue River, April 13 At a special meeting of the Rogue River city council Monday night, a tentative budget for the com ing year was worked out. It will now go to a committee of citi zens, chosen at random from the taxrolls, to be approved by them before an election is held to rati fy it. The proposed budget for 1950 is conservative, being $1300 be low the budget of 1949, and $2300 lower than that of 1948. Work Reviewed In setting the amount needed for the operation of the city gov ernment in the coming year, arfl for the proposed improvements, the council reviewed the work accomplished in the past year. The street commission report ed they graveled first and sec ond and Broadway streets last year, and they graded and oiled most of the streets of the town. They have put in approximately 1400 feet of curb along the streets that were paved and the ones that are to be paved in 1950. The paving, only, was paid from PUC funds. Three hundred feet of tile was Installed in the drainage ditch along the railroad tracks, thus doing away with the unsanitary condition due to flooding of the streets and the two blocks be-, tween the business district and the railroad. The water department report ed purchase of a $1500 pump, several meters and some sup plies needed for repair of the system, and installation of 1600 feet of two-inch pipe. The most important accomplishment was the retiring of - water bonds. They stated, besides paying the two regular $500 bonds due last year, they have paid two that were neglected by the past ad ministration. Making four bonds paid in the past year, and they now have enough'money on hand to pay for the water meters or dered last week. Plans were made to install meters for all water users with in the next 90 days, thus plac ing all water users on equal rates during the garden season. Mini mum rate of $2.50 for the first 400 feet will remain the same, but all water over the minimum will cost half the previous rate. It will now be 10 cents a 100 feet or fraction thereof, with the regular 10 per cent reduction if paid within 10 days. "We are not attempting to build up a large water fund," ex plained Mayor Denglar, "but we believe the meters will conserve water by helping the users find any leaks that may develop in their pipes and at the same time each one will be paying their fair share of the cost of main taining the water system. When the water bonds are all retired it will be possible to further re duce rates. The faster we can re tire them the better for every on of us. and the metprs place the water department on a syste matic business basis." t a"jfff lajpi i w.'fjRsgBjp fm3lA ,,,a ,,J3 hMlJ " - J i 1 4 a i j egi 4 (Aem Telephoto) 'PAINLESS BIRTH' Mr!

Ellis United Press Science Editor New York, Apr. 13 (U.R) A new "task force" has gone into action in the battle against can cer. ' It is a group of scientists who specialize in studying the effects of hormones on abnormal growth and they have received the lion's share of research funds from the American Cancer society. The society, in making its an nual report, said "spectacular developments" in the hormone field led the society and the Na tional Research council's com mittee on growth to give a green light to hormone specialists. Encouraging Results In discussing the work of the "hormone task force," the com mittee said: "It is too early to make even a preliminary statement regard ing the role of cortisone or Acth in the treatment of cancer. While encouraging results have been reported, on the basis of present evidence there is little reason to think that these hormones will have a specific thereapeutic ef fect in cancer. "However, their actions seem to be so inextricably Interwoven in the most fundamental proc esses of body metabolism that one cannot conceive their being without significance in cancer and many other diseases. "Progress has been slow be cause of the difficulty of prepar ing the substance in adequate amounts. Here it may be pointed out that clinical investigation of a new drug always is limited un: less the drug showing promise is available in nature in abundance or until chemists can synthesize the compound in a mnner per mitting its mass production. "In neither case is this true of Acth or of cortisone. In October, 1949, for example, the month's total of cortisone was little more than a fifth of one pound." Advances During Year In addition to the develop ments in hormones, the commit tee listed the following "note worthy" advances during last year on the cancer front: 1. New evidence relating to changes in blood serum of cancer patients, opening up the possible development of a practical test for cancer. 2.
