THE GOVERNOR KNEW
In his stroll through the pavilion
on Saturday morning Governor
Withycombe came upon a group of
men who were looking at a display
of squashes, pumpkins and other
farm produce. He asked thorn sud
denly how many could tell the dif
ference between squash and a pump
kin, and not a man in the lot was
sure whether he could tell positively
under all conditions.
"The squash." he said, "is always
to be found with a round stem, just
where the stem sets on and the pump
kin never has a round stem.
He is a statesman and a good one;
is learned in many things, but above
all he is a farmer and a stockman,
and prefer to be considered as such.
BEND DAY
While there was no accompanying
brass band, no show of numbers or
anything of the kind, it is estimated
that, at least 150 Bend people were
on the fair grounds Saturday, which
was Bend day.
This was by far the biggest crowd
from the mill city that has ever at
tended a county fair here, and the
sentiment of those present seemed
to be that they would be with us
again next year in even greater num
bers. The showing made was better than
a:iy other community on a single day,
and was greatly appreciated by the
fair management and in fact, everyone.
GOOD RESULTS
The fair is a matter of history.
We have yet to hear the first com
plaint of the entire fair, from open
ing day to the close. Everyone is
pleased with the entire event, and to
the management, the stockmen and
the farmer who assisted so materi
ally, and the merchants and others
who combined to make the fair a
success, there is indeed the highest
consideration due.
The people in charge exceeded
their own expectations in the mat
ter, and not only had the best fair
ever held in this county, but as was
stated by those who were in a posi
tion to know, it was perhaps the
best county fair ever held in the
state.
Situated, as it is in the heart of
- the best stock country in the world,
Trook County i? entitled and should
have in the future, the best livestock
i show in the entire country.
i.Tn its entirety, the fair showed
what cooperative efforts can accom
plish and should be an inspiration
f :t further offorts in this county.

one of the biggest triumphs Klamath
county has won. The products sent
consisted mostly of dry-land alfalfa,
peas and Soudan grass.
NEW RAILROADS PLANNED
Four Hundred Miles of Line to B
Constructed.
Portland. The first evidence of a
coming revival of railway construction
on a considerable scale in the north
west was afforded In Portland by the
organization of the Oregon, California
& Eastern Railway company, designed
to supply some 400 miles of standard
gauge lines for central Oregon and ad
jacent territory, at an eatlmated ex
penditure of several million dollars.
Some 40 leading bankers, merchant
and others met to inaugurate the en
terprise and engaged Robert E. Stra
horn, builder and former president of
various Harriman lines In the north
west, to head the company by assur
ances of support
The plan Is for an east and west
line of 150 miles to connect the Har
riman and Hill lines at Bend with the
Oregon Short Line in Harney valley,
a north and south line of 170 miles to
connect Bend with the Nevada-Califor-nla
Oregon line at Lakeview, a 60-ralle
branch from the latter in Silver Lake
valley, southwesterly to Kirk, the ter
minus of the Klamath line of the
Southern Pacific, giving Portland and
Spokane a direct line to Klamath Falls
and a 30-mile branch from the Lako
view line easterly to Warner valley.
From reconnaissances and surveys
already far advanced, it la believed
the system can be completed and
equipped in about three years.

cured options on more than 5000 acres
