On paper, tills Wcitcrn Wa

it amounted to taking water

ing it to another. After the
lapie of nearly a century, It
win the old mlnera' Idea of
tho State of Slnnln -which In
volved dlvertlnn the Klamath
river Into tho Sacrainento for
the benefit of the gold mining
industry.
BACK in"lH52. that wasn't
such un unreasonable
idea. Gold mining wua then
the big Induitry of our region.
the Intervening century,
times hud changed. In 1852.
about the only use for water
(other than for drinking pur
poses when tho whiskey sup
ply run low) was an aid In
getting gold out of the ground.
Jly the nild-furtles of the luth
century, water hud become
the No. 1 RESOURCE of all
the West.
In tho nearly a century
since 1852, wntor had become
tho priceless Ingredient of
Woslorn prosperity and prog
ress. Areas with plenty of
water flourished. Arena with
too little water died on the
vine. And here, hofore our
eyes, was a serious proposal
to TAKE WATER AWAY
FROM US and give It to some
body elscl
WE SAT there dumbfound
ed. Ghastly visions of the
Owen valley danced before
our eyes. If this diversion
project went through, It was
apparent to ua that the whole
upper basin of the Klamath
river, In both Oregon nnd
California, would be dried up
after the mnnncr of the Owens
vnlley.
Not only that, but if this
Western Wntcr Plnn became
reality the rich valleys of
the Rogue nnd the Umpqua
would be left short of wntcr.
It was a rugged project.
FORTUNATELY, the threat
ened diversion wa bended
off. It wa headed off by
. menus of an Interstate river
compact governing tho distri
bution and use of the wntcr
of the Klnmnth river. The
compact was drnfted by able
commission made up of able
men from both sides of the
state line.
Over the past century, we
of Fnr Southern Oregon nnd
Fur Northern California have

Chances of Stock Market Rise
Seen Good
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York (UPI) - On the
basis of precedent the chances
for a stock market rise in
July nnd August nro better
than two to one.
Such rlae-the summer ral-
ly - hus be
c o m e tradi
tional. But
Wall Street
doesn't al
ways fallow
fcpi tradition.
However,
more of tho
market ex
perts think it
Elmer Walter will than
think otherwise.
The seusonul pattern for
the remaining months In
volves an edge on declines for
September, nn even break be
tween losses and gains for
October, more gains than
losses in November and a
year-end rally in December.
First half of 1900 statistics
rend poorly compared with
last year.
Trading volume for the
half fell by nearly 51 million
shares. But the half, aside
from 1050, was the beat for
the period since 1930.
Industrials Up
The Dow-Jones industrial
average at the end of the half
wns Just about where it was
Inst yenr (actually off 2.98
points) but It was down 38.74
points from the Dec. 31 close.
Industrials made a record
high in the second session of
1080 ot 885.47. They fell to
500.10 on March 8, a drop
of 86.37 points or 12.6 per
cent from the high.
Then came a rally and an
other decline that brought the
average to within a half point
of its low but it didn't go
through. A subsequent rally
lifted the average to 656.42
on June 0. It closed the half
about 16 points under that re
covery high
The rail average lost 10.86
points from Dec. 31 for the
half. A year ago it showed a
rise of nearly 10 points in the
corresponding period.
Two-Fold Market
Utilities performed best of
all the major groups. They
closed the half at 93.39, a new
high since April 8, 1959 and
up 5.56 points for the half.
ll-4'
mm
in July and August
Some of the market men
said we entered a bear mar
ket when tho rail average
broke In March. Some others
said we have hnd two mar
kets a bear market and a bull
markct-ut the same time.

Goldfine Starts
Penitentiary Term
Boston - (UPD - Millionaire
Bernard Goldfine and his
blonde private secretary were
sen, to prison today for con
tempt of court.
Goldfine, gift-giving friend
of former Presidential Aide
Sherman Adams, was ordered
by a federal judge to serve
90 days in the federal peni
tentiary at Danbury, Conn.
His secretary. Miss Mildred
Paperman, was ordered com
mitted to East Cambridge jail
to serve a 10-day sentence.
Judge Charles E. Wyzanski
Jr., denied their appeals and
turned them over to the cus
tody of U.S. marshals for imprisonment.
According to Arthur Wlcs-
enberger, head of the Wall
Street firm that bears his
name, we have had three
markets running simultan
eously. -
First there were the glam
our stocks which soared to
levels where they sold us
much as 56 times earnings.
Bulls Still Here
Then came the market for
the typical, mature, good-quality
stocks-well-known standard-type
issues. They de
clined. Next, as Wicsenbcrger clas
sifies the markets, was
large number of Individual
issues representing apparent
ly static, lack-luster, negative
-growth companies, that are
quite ignored and neglected
by Institutions and subject to
erosion of Interest and price
by the investing public gen
erally. These had wide de
clines, too.
Wlcscnberger doesn't be
lieve the bull market is over.
He dates it back to 1942 when
the industrial average was
down to 92.92. But he looks
for a big correction before a
big rise comes.

damage in a collision with
a Norwegian tanker off the
coast of Tunisia, It was report
ed today.
The Peking, Red China's

with the 15,067-ton Norwe
gian ship Rondefjcll,
The 19,500-ton Peking was
built in the Soviet Union last

estimate of damage, but unof

thought to be serious.
The Rondefjell was towed
to the Tunisian port of Bizerte
for repairs, but no word was
received concerning the Pe
king's course or the extent of
her damage. '
The Norwegian tanker's en
gines were damaged so badly
it could not get under way
again.
The only casualty reported
was a sailor aboard the Ron
