California Colonies . . .
Just as the colonists of Vir
. ginia had to rely on Old Eng
land as the major market place
for their tobacco crops, so do
we of Oregon and Washington
deDend on California as the
great neighboring market terri
tory for our timber crops. This
goes for our region's new metal
products too, as well as for the
Pacific Northwest's grain crops,
livestock and other farm yields
Focus dqyn on homes, family
dwei:gs, in one county out of
California's 53, to catch the pic
ture.. In the first six months of
1955 Los Angeles county alone
issued 47,319 permits for new
dwelling units. No single state
in the U.S.A. outside New York
and California itself, beat this
figure. In all of Texas, during
the same period,, just 40,836onew
dwelling permits were ' given.
Illinois' permits numbered 35,
367, Michigan's 31,909, Ohio's
31,286, Pennsylvania's 24,904,
and so on. Vfhat a market next

Our Golden Gate ...
The California gold rush of
1849 sd the Pacific Northwest
up in business, and endless en
terprise expansion in the Golden
State has been the tap root of
our. own economic growth ever
since.
Right now the biggestothing in
sight for all varieties of Pacific
Northwest producers is the
growth of population,0 and of
productftn and prosperity in
California. The present is un
believable, the prospects are
. fabulous. Now indeed the dreams
of the Spanish explorers of the
golden cities of Cibola and the
. treasures of the Kingdom of Qui
vira are coming true. Homes
are thgt treasure, families the
jewels.
California building permits
for new homes in the firft half
of 1955 amounted to 117,306,
for all of the state's 58 counties.
New York State was next, with
50,945. In California West Coast
forest products are the basic
building material the great
est single source of the Washington-Oregon
$1,800,000,000 per
year timber industry income.
Fabulous Facts ...
There is exciting reading in
every issue of the "Monthly sum
mary of Business Conditions in
Southern California," published
by the Security-First National
Bank of Los Angeles.
Just one simple chart of South
ern California business activity,
compared to population trend,
makes the eye bug.
The activity curve has wiggled
up to 175 from the, 1947-1948
index of 100, while population
is up to 135.
This indicates that the aver
age Southern Californian is mak
ing more ag0 spending more
money than in the early post-
war years. And shows why the
people keep coming, why the
people already there are baby-
havin', folks beyond compare.

El Cenfro Jittery
After 79th Jolt
In Past Three Days
El Centro,v Calif. (U.R) Resi
dents of Imperial Valley spent
another uneasy night after their
"earthquake nerves" were jarred
by the 79th "slight jolt" in three
days.
The latest "rocking motion,"
was felt here last night in the
downtown area. Police 12 miles
away in Brawley, hardest hit in
the series of earthquakes, how
ever, reported the shock was not
felt there.
Damage from the quakes was
limited to broken windows,
cracked plaster, and ceilings in
several homes buckled. The
Brawley Chamber of Commerce
estimated damage at S50,000 in
the city limits where store win
dows were shattered Saturday
night.
No injuries were reported but
some residents slept outside fol
lowing the initial series of jolts
Friday. A portion of the shop
ping district of Brawley was
roped off by police early Satur
day to prevent looting.
Dr. Charles F. Richter, seismo
logist at the California Institute
of Technology at Pasadena, said
he had no idea as to how long
the "slight jolts" would continue.
The heaviest quake reached a
magnitude of 5.3 Friday night.

Game Commission Okehs
Rogue River
Portland (U.R) The Ore
gon State Game commission Sat
urday voted unanimously to poi
son Devils lake in Lincoln coun
ty to rehabilitate the lake and
rid it of its carp population.
At the same time, the five
man commission voted to table
action on rehabilitation of Ten
mile lake. Commissioners voic
ed confidence, at a hearing, in
recommendations for poisoning
by the staff, but voted for post
ponement "because of other fac
tors involved."
Devils Lake will be treated
with rotenone poison sometime
in July. It will be restocked in
the fall with rainbow trout. Stu
dies presented at the hearing
showed that the lake offers poor
fishing because carp had de
pleted food supplies.
The game commission also ap
proved acquisition of seven
Rogue river fishing sites.
Included were the Shady
Cove, Tepper, Laurelhurst, Mc
Leod and Lost Creek access
points above Medford, and Rob
ertson Bridge, 15 miles below
Grants Pass.
Boat ramps, parking sites and
access roads will be provided at
all except the Tepper easement
site, where access will be pro
vided by extending an old coun
ty road.
The commission said it was in
the process of securing an ease
ment with the Clackamas Coun
ty Court to set aside Poachers
Drift, just above Barton Bridge,
as a public fishing site.
The commission approved a
10-year easement for fishing at

Northwest Flood
Damage Estimated
At $450,(
Boston (U.R) Total dam
age from this year's Northeast
floods was estimated at $450,
000,000 in an official report to
day by the federal Civil De
fense administration.
The floods Aug. 1, 18 and .19,
and again on Oct. 13, 14, 15 and
16 took 110 lives, injured 5339
persons and destroyed 841
homes.
Property Loss Heavy
Loss of taxable property in
535 flood-damaged towns was
estimated at $81,360,000. The
'October floods damaged 105 of
these towns which previously
were hit in August by a 20-inch
rainfall on the tail of hurricane
Diane.
Damage to roads was $70,458,
200 in Connecticut, Massachu
setts, New Jersey, Rhode Island
and New York .
The Army engineers spent or
allocated $34,461,927 on repair
of bridges, dams, dikes and res
ervoirs. The corps has $10,180,
000 still to be spent in Con
necticut, hardest hit of the
states.
Private Autos Damaged
Crop losses added up to $6,
328,000. The floods cost rail
roads $11,850,000. Damage to
private automobiles was $1,202,
132. The federal Small Business
administration has approved
$23,231,697 in loans to business
men and home owners for flood
repairs and replacements. This
figure is low because the pro
gram is lagging, the SBA report
ed this week, due to loss of vital
business records in the floods.

Failure Seen in
Effort To Restore
Rigid Supports
Washington (U.R) Rep. Har
old D. Cooley (D-N.C.) concedes
that Democratic efforts to re
store rigid high farm price sup
ports next year will fail. But he
says the move will provide a
"clear-cut" farm issue for next
year's elections.
Cooley, chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee, predict
ed Sunday that the Senate will
approve a House-passed bill to
junk the administration's flexi
ble support program in favor of
high rigid price props. However,
he said President Eisenhower is
almost cetrain to veto it and
Congress would fail to override.
Would Consider New Proposals
Coley said the final version of
the farm bill sent to the White
House would include any new
farm proposals recommended
by Mr. Eisenhower and Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra T. Benson
which Congress might consider
"needed and worth-while."
If this bill is vetoed, Cooley
said, Congress would then pass
a bill stripped of the controver
sial price support provisions to
which the President objects.
"We could never get enough
support in Congress to override
a veto, and we would .not take
the position that we .wouldn't
give the President any farm
legislation unless he signed the
first bill," Cooley told a reporter.
Issue for Elections
Cooley said that a presidential
veto of rigid supports would pro
vide a "clear-cut" farm issue for
the 1956 presidential elections.
Democratic presidential' candi
dates already have opened fire
on .the administration on the
farm issue.
Some congressional Democrats
were reported to have opened a
behind-the-scenes drive' to cut
down intra-party difference on
price supports and win solid
backing for other farm propos
als.
