KLAMATH FAU.S. Or.. April 2.
fpperlal. I For the flrnt time In the
hiatory of building of the California
Northeaatern Railway, the construc
tor! force has completed a king stretch
of new track on schedule time. It was
announced early In February that the
trni'k would he flnixhed to Iorrls by
April 20. Hrld this wan done to the day.
Tterular train service will be estab
lished to that place the first of May,
and thereafter the stafre trip for
Klamath Kalis will be only 11 miles, the
distance between Dorris and the
steamboat landing on ' the Klamath
River at Bllrlel.
There remains a stretch of about 10
miles of grade to complete between
Iorrls and the channel to the Klamath
lllver, through the nwanip lands of
Lower Klamath I.ake, and It Is ex
pected that the work will be finished
nnd track laid to that point by July 1.
or possibly at an earlier date. Of this
illstance, about half will be covered by
temporary "shoo-fly" -tracks over the
lower points of two bills that will be.
cut by tunnels on either side of the
e-ection characterised as "The Hole-in--the-Ground,"
being a vast natural de
pression Just south of the Oregon
Otlifnrnla line, lying between some
what rugged hills: a low ridge on the
east dividing it from the tule lands of
lxiwer Klamath Lake. Construction
of the tunnels will require consider
able time, and meantime the railroad
wilt be operated over the temporary
trackage.
Archie Mason, contractor on the
grade through the tule lands, has
withdrawn from the work, nnd the
contract has been taken over by F. P.
, Clark ajid associates, of Ios Angeles,
and It Is reported that, one or two ad
ditional dredgers will be Installed to
hasten completion of the work. That
powliui is the only obstacle to laying
sleel to Klamath Kails, as the remain
der of tlie line is comparatively light
Work, which could he quickly finished.
For two years the officials of the
Southern Pacirlc have given assur
ance of the completion of the railroad
to Klamath Kalis this year, and people
realize that It Is an easy task with
the new situation that has come about
In reference to finding labor and keep
ing men on the work. Three camps
ltave been established by the eontrac
r tors between Dorris and the Klamath
River, and dirt is being moved more
rapidly than at any previous time.
Conditions of the weather have been
most favorable throughout the late
Winter and Spring months, and the
force employed has been up to the
maximum desired by the contractors.
It is reported that extensive yard fa
cilities for the holding, feeding and
shipping of livestock will he provided
at Mount Hebron, work on which Is
to be prosecuted at once, in order to
bave the stock-pens In readiness for
Hll future cattle shipments from the
Interior country that can be bundled
to best advantage via that point. This
will divert n large amount of shipping
from the stations at Montague and
Gazelle, which have for many years
been among the heaviest stock-shipping
polriis on the old main line of
tho Southern Pacific.

Open Winter anil Early Spring
Cause Early Sprouting.
I.AKBVIHW, Or.. April (Special.)
After the most open winter that South
eastern Oregon has ever experienced this
section is now enjoying a Spring that In
sures wealth to her people. At no time
during the past Winter did the ther
mometer In Iake County register a tem
perature below lero. and most of the
time balmy Spring-like weather prevailed.
There were but few flurries of snow, and
these melted away before a warm sun.
The result was that but little feeiilng
was required, atock generally finding ex
cellent range, during the entire Winter,
and the end of Winter tlnds sufficient
feed on baud to tide the stock interests
through a hard Winter, even if no hay
should he put up this season.
On the desert sheep men have reported
an Ideal Winter, with Just enough snow
to furnish water for stock, and with
plenty of feci; to put sheep In excellent
condition. As the vast desert lying east
of Goose lakn Valley is the feeding
ground for the thousands of head of
sheep thill constitute a large portion of
the wealth of lake County, a Winter like
the one Just ended means an addition to
the profit column.
Since the new year began there has
leen but little rain and practically no
snow. Crops of every kind were piit In
eurly. and already there Is an excellent
growth In everything that riepemis upon
Spring weather. Fruit Is In bud, trees
ure sending forth leaves, and the pros
pects are excellent for a most prosperous
season. A warm rain during the past
few day has broken prospects of drouth,
and l.ake County will this season con
vince the worldi that she can grow anv
crop that flourishes in the temiicrate
lone.

Kl.AMATH K.I,L. Or.. April .
(Special.) Klamath County has received
welcome and abundant Spring rains after
a period of comparttlvely dry weather
extending from about February 15. The
dry weather had been marked by only
Very slight showers and the entire ab
sence of storm periods enabled the farm
ers to bring a large acreage of raw land
tinder cultivation for the first time. While
a great deal of seeding has been done
Splendid rains came on April 14. fol
low ed by showers since, that have
started the crops growing in splendid
shape.
Kvery indication now is that the seasort
will have its normal rainfall and that
crops grown on the upland, above irri

of excellence that has distinguished this
region from the arid sections of ijther

lcmaiiI for Lumber in Coos Hay
Keeps Mills Busy.
MARSH V KM"). Or.. April 2i. (Spocial.)
The local building rush continues on
Coos Bay, with the prospect of this Sum
mer being oven better than last year.
The consumption of lumber is big and the
mills have many orders for supplying new
bouses. The A Smith mUl, which was
recently started, will not be affected by
the lack of domand. for lumber from
which the mills generally arc suffering.
With the local building, the establish
ment of the lumber yards and outside or
ders the big mill will be busy for a year
ahead, regardless of outside conditions.
The company has large orders for min
ing timber at San Pedro and most of the
lumber shipped now from here will go to
that point.
New School for Cornelius.
FOR KST GROVK. Or.. April -(Special.
The school board of Cornelius has
decided to build a fwrnu brick schoolhouse
In the near future. According to tho
plans which bave been decided upon the
edifice will be a two-story structure with
basement and will bave four recitation
rooms. It will be fitted with a modern
beating plant and tho rooms, will be
supplied with automatic ventilation. The
board has obtained a piece of property
near the encampment grounds for the
new schoolhouse which, when completed,
will be tho best in the county in the
matter of modern convenience. There
are at present ltij children in the district
and the school has three teachers. The
board of directors is composed of Messrs.
M. H. Henderson. James Morrtsey and

IX LAXE COUNTY.
Hop Fields Are Being: Worked and
Season's Yield Will Not Be
Fur Behind 190 7.
Kt'GEXB. Or.. April Special.)
The prospects for an all-around good
crop in Lane County could hardly be bet
ter than at this time. The Winter has
been an Ideal one. both the Fall and
Spring affording the best of weather for
the farmer and fruitgrower to get In his
crops and to look after his orchards.
The dry. open Winter has held hops
back somewhat, which the majority of
growers consider much to their advan
tage. The prospects for hops are above
the average, and the indications are that
the number of bales for 19'8 will not be
much short of that for li07. A number
of yards have been plowed up. but these
for the most part are small ones, and a
number of yards, which two or three
months ago were ready to be abandoned,
bave been leased for the year or are be
ing cultivated by the owners. It is com
monly thought that a number of yards
which are being carefully worked have
been abandoned. This belief may ac
count to some extent for the activity
among a number of growers who felt it
was to their advantage to try the hop
game another year, inasmuch as a num
ber had decided to quit. About 200 acres
have either been plowed up or aban
doned for the year.
The prospects for grain and bay are
good, and the only crop that has Wen t
ail In danger Is some of the earlier trult.
which'' it is considered this morning was
probably adversely affected in certain
sections where last night's frosts were
hardest. However, unloss some severe
frosts occur during the Spring, what has
already happened will not cause any con
siderable dnmage over the country.

LAMBING SEASON SUCCESSFUL
Promising Year for Slieep Industry
In Baker County.
BAKBI CITY, Or.,. April 36. (Special.)
The sheeprafelng Industry Is one of the
important resources of Baker County, and
the sheepmen have reason to rejoice this
year because of the successful lambing
season. Conditions have been most favor
able throughout the season and the per
centage of ltss has been very small. The
range Is in excellent condition and the
sheep are thriving wonderfully. Sheep
raiders all over the county are very pros
perous and they are looking forward to a
successful year.
One drawback that will cause some
hardship to the growers of this county is
the failure to sell their yearlings. Usual
ly a large number of sheep are
shipped out of Baker County, but thus
far not a sheep has been sold In this
County, so far as Is known. F. C.
Oxman. the sheep king of the Durkee
district, has bought a few thousand sheep
and shipped thorn into this county, but
the raisers who have sheep to sell nnd
them a drug on the market, for not &
buyer has purchased any in this county.

PROJECT A BIG SUCCESS
Tile Factory. Creamery and Other
Xmt Industries ' Are Being
Started The Whole Com
munity Is Prosperous.
MONMOUTH. Or.. April (Special.)
The steady and substantial development
of new industrial conditions in the Wil
lamette Valley- Is nowhere more in evi
dence than in the changing: conditions of
Monmouth and vicinity during the last
year. Although one of the oldest towns
in Oregon, situated on a scenic location,
amidst the richest farming lands, it has
been chiefly known as an educational
town, first as the location of Monmouth
University from which developed Oregon's
first normal school, whose 1000 craduates
Include some of the most prominent men
of the Xorthwest In all profession?, and
Its hundreds of active teachers today
testify to the wide Influence of thU in
stitution. While the cltisens of Mon
mouth have not In the least lost any of
their pride in the school, as is shown In
their willingness and ability to raise- JfiOOO
to tide it over Its temporary straits on
account of lack of state support, yet they
have realised in the past year the need
of taking advantage of the National busi
ness conditions with which this locality is
so well favored by nature.
The Monmouth Evaporating & Canning
Company, which Is entirely a local affair
with a paid-up capital of 116.000. has com
pleted its plant and built two large build
ings, one equipped for evaporating all
suitable fruits, and the other one in which
has Just been installed modern machinery
for canning. The company Is now ready
to can all the marketable fruits and
vegetables. This company last year paid
Its stockholders the remarkable dividend
of 22V4 per cent on the operation of the
exaporator alone.
This flara has been the means of in
creasing the orchard plantings several
hundred acres this year, and is looked to
as the leading factor In developing a large
fruit center here, where the rolling land
with a deep rich soil is so well adapted
to fruit culture of all varieties congenial
to the Western Oregon climate.
The farmers of this vicinity, assisted
by the business men, have organized and
equipped a modern creamery, which will
commence operation the first of next
month. Its building is a model of neat
ness and good taste, erected for this spe
cial purpose, and the machinery is of the
best, selected by an experienced cream
ery man. This new enterprise will start
with- good prospects, and will be well sup
ported, as the number of cows has been
increasing In the southern part of the
county for several years.
A large brick and tile factory is just
completing its plant In the north part of
town and will be in operation In a few
weeks. The company already has orders
for 230.000 brick to be delivered In July,
and will be kept busy making tile, as this
is the only plant of the kind In the
county and the ue of tiling is continually
growing In favor with the farmers.
Among other enterprises planned are a
large lumber yard and box factory, and a
hard-wood handle factory. ,
The opportunity In this vicinity Mr
farming on small tract was never as
good as at preaent, as the lands ad
joining town and on the nearby hills are
so well adapted to fruit culture and dairy
ing, and as yet arc comparatively low
priced, although a steady stiffening in
price Is Indicated. Some of the large
holders of land are now willing to cut
up their" farms and offer them in small
tracts, realizing the time for large farms
is rapidly passing.
LARGE ACREAGE SPRING GRAIN
Ivinn County Farmers Take Advan
tage of Good Season.
ALBANY, Or., April 26. (Special.)
The acreage of Spring grain in Linn
County this year Is estimated to be
twice as large as that of any season
for the past four or Ave years. The
acreage of Fall grain is equal to that
of past years, so Linn County will have
an unusually large acreage of grain
this year.
A favorable seeding season is the sole
cause of this Increased acreage. For
the past several years, the acreage of
Spring grain in this county has been
gradually declining, due largely to the
increase in dairying and diversified
farming. The seeding seasons have not
been very favorable, either, and Linn
County lias raised a great deal loss
Spring grain recently than in years
gone by. But this Spring the best seed
ing season In many years came, and
farmers hastened to take advantage of
it.
Some farmers in this part of the Val
ley are yet engaged In the work of
seeding. Most of them have completed
sowing the Spring grain, but In' some
localities the seeding will continue for
a week longer.
The Fall grain Is now looking splen
did, and If present favorable conditions
continue, there will be a record-breaking
yield. But it is far too early to
figure on the season's yield.

Band took Corvallis by storm last
night in a concert which so far eclipsed
expectations that the audience was
amazed at the excellence of the per
formance. The programme comprised
an even dozen numbers, but so great
was the appreciation that the encores
ran the aggregate up to 23, all the
numbers being classical. The house
was packed to capacity. Vocal solos
and encores by Miss Spangler. of Cor
