Oregon Coast Real Estate
William P. McArthur
During September and October the EWING was engaged in surveys of San Francisco Bay, and it was by McArthur's recommendation that the Government secured Mare Island for a naval base and shipyard. That winter McArthur sailed for Hawaii in order "to run away from the incessant rains which are said to prevail with winter." When the ship returned to San Francisco, many crew enlistments had expired and it was not until April 3 that McArthur was able to sail for a reconnaissance of the northern coast. He was fairly discouraged by this time and wrote to a friend: "I have made up my mind to be disappointed with regard to the probability of our usefulness on this coast. Capt. Williams [Assistant J.S. Williams of the Coast Survey, who was in charge of the land party] has as yet done nothing and Heaven only knows when he may be able to proceed with his labors.... I feel confident that no work can go on at the present wages of the country as it would require the whole of the Coast Survey appropriat ... [Read More]

FTC Merger Enforcement in the Gasoline Industry
The Commission conducted its investigation in cooperation with the Attorneys General of Oregon, Washington, and California. As part of that investigation, the Commission looked at the West Coast crude oil market to determine if the acquisition would increase the likelihood that the merged firm would be able to exercise market power, either unilaterally or in conjunction with other firms. The Commission found reason to believe that BP was already exercising market power in the production and sale of ANS crude oil to refineries on the West Coast, and that the merger would increase BP's ability to keep ANS prices high by eliminating the one firm with the ability and incentive to produce and sell more ANS crude oil. ...

Resource Sharing - Utility Rights-of-Way - Real Estate Services - Planning and Environment - FHWA
Gerry Gallinger, Director of Real Estate Services, (360) 705-7305. ... FHWA Office of Real Estate Services ... Fiber Optics: Lines have not been installed on Interstate highway R/W in Mississippi, except for a very minor amount on the Gulf Coast. Fiber-optic lines have been installed on other controlled access Federal-aid highway R/W in Mississippi, as with other utilities, on many non-Interstate 4 lane and 2 lane highways. No resource sharing has been involved. MDOT people are of the opinion that the same people who pay the rates are the same people who pay for the highway, and the utility company would just pass the cost of any remuneration back to the public. Accommodation of the Interstate fiber- optic lines has been by a year-to-year permit for the last 6-7 years because the utility hasn't been able to buy R/W and move. Utilities locations are usually limited to the last five feet of R/W limits if possible. The Division Office advises MDOT whenever asked and only see the permits that deal with utilities crossing the Interstate. ... [Read More]

Over the next few years, many of the pioneers went home, if not forgood, at least for a respite from the arduous nature of duty on the Pacificcoast. Richard Cutts went home to the East Coast on leave of absence forseven months returning to San Francisco in mid-1853. George Davidson andJames Lawson went east in November 1854 returning to San Francisco in Aprilof the following year. The trip was nowhere near as arduous as that of1849 and 1850 as regular steamship service had been established and thetrip from East Coast to West Coast only took a month. Alexander Harrisonand John Rockwell would leave in 1854 for home, never to return to theWest Coast with the Coast Survey. The artist William B. McMurtrie, whosebeautiful views graced the early charts of the West Coast, would also returnhome in 1854 but would return to the West Coast for a few more years servicebefore the Civil War. ...

Reports from contacts indicate strong performance from the Twelfth District economy in recent weeks. Sales of retail merchandise and services were robust in most areas of the District.

District agricultural producers were hindered by weak export demand and poor weather.

Upward price pressures were limited overall. ... [Read More]
