OREGOJf MIBLAJVTE RAILROAD.
President Billinars Confirms- Report
of Early Construction.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Sept. 23.
George T. Baldwin, president of the Ore
gon Midland Railroadj has returned
from an extended tour of Oregon and.
California He states freely that his
mission was to arrange for the inaugu
ration of construction work on thte new
Oregon-California railway. He confirms
The Gregonian'-s recent report of a deal
with Coggins Bros sawmill at Igerna,
Cal., to furnish 75,000 ties, or a sufficient
jiumber to construct the road trom its
initial point, at Klamathon, Cal to the
edge of the timber belt, in Oregon. This
point gained. It is the. purpose of the
company to procure tigs by contract from
local owners of wooded tracts, and, as
far as possible, to employ the residents
of this section in getting out the timber
r,equired to complete the road to its ter
minal point at Klamath Falls. It is well
known, however, that local labor is large
ly tmpioyed at sood waKes.-and foreign
tie contractors have arrived wlth.n tha
past few dayt, to make a "quiet " cruise
xjf the timber along the survey of the
l.roposed road. Camps have been located
at several points by small parties, and
"temporary quarters established, with a
view to an extensive examination of the
forests and the lay of the country. Ons
of these camps- is near the danr on Klam
ath River. 10 miles west of Keno, in
Klamath County, and settlers have been
engagpd to show the contractors about
the country.
-In going from Klamath Falls to Ash
land, the tjmber belt commences at Keno,
32 miles from this place, and then for 27
miles there is a heavy -growth of stately
pines suitable for Jhe manufacture of
lumber of any kind. Sugar pines, five t
eight feet in diameter, straight as an ar
row and of great height, are "upon every
hand. While thousands of acres, of this
timber tract have been secured by East--ern
capitalists and will be held, for spec
illation, yet some of th? best lands along
the line are owned by local sett'jers'and
will be sold, at reasonable prices.
With the construction of this road,
Jxlaroath Falls will become the gateway
to a large scops of Southern and Middle
Oregon, whose present channel of trade
lies in a southerly direction., and ou,t of
the state. This road, or 'branch, lines
that are sure to follow, wl!) cover Lake,
Crook, Harney and Malheur Counties,
and assist in the development of 'their
wonaerxui resources, at the same time
directing trade to Portland and other
Oregon towns, which they are well enti
tled, but on account of inadequate trans
portation facilities do not receive.

STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Opening: Enrollment lis the Heaviest
in History of the SchooL
CORVALLIS, Or., Sept. 25.-Registra-tlon
at the Agricultural College began
yesterday morning. Instead of a de
creased attendance, on account of short
ened crops in the Willamette Valley "and
the abolition of intercollegiate athletics,
as was predicted, the first day's registra
tion shows the heaviest enrollment in "the
history tf the institution. Up to last
night, the total registration was 231; on
the same day Jast year it was. U02; up
to noon today it .was 26?-; at the ' close
of the third day of registration last year
it was 22&t on the third day two years
tyjo-it waa 216. On.a"ccount of, the- rush
at the registrar's office rthls evenlbjr, tff
figures could not be obtained, but It Is
guessed that -the number Is but little
short of 200, or nearly 100 more than
tht on. the. sanys.day ast year.
WILLAMETTE' WHEAT CROP.
Amount Stored atcforvallls Is 75 Per
Cejt -Iss. TWi X.t Tear
CQRVAIiLIS, Or,. Sept. Some. idea,
of the shortened character of the lato
grain crop in the Willamette: Valley may
be gained from the following figures: Last
year the total amount of wheat stored
in the Corvallis flouring mills the Benton
flouring mills and their auxiliary wa.ro
houses, together with the warehouses in
Corvallls"": was 810,000 bushels. In the same
mills and warehouses this year the ag
'gregate' will not pass, and it may not
even eacht T5.Q0G bushels. Not all of the
wheat tias been delivered, but the mlHera
say that the receipt of all of it will not
change the figures. Of course, the fig
urea do not represent the true ratio of
the 'wheat raised, since farmers have
probably retained as much at home fox
seed and feed as In former years. Tha f
surplus however. Is not ntore than one
fottrth of what -it was last year. The
crop in Benton "was no worse, and in many
'Instances was better than in other parts
of the Valley.
