San Francisco ffflc. or this company. Bids for the construction of 69 4S miles of the Oregon Eastern Railroad, pro ected from Natron to Klamath Fall., will be received in the Southern Pacific office, at San Francisco during the next two weeks, of that mileage, ti.U mile, will be constructed south easterly from Natron, while the re maining 25.24 miles will be built In a northwesterly direction from Klamath FMl B. Bids for the construction of the Kla math Falls end of the extension must n ubmltted on or before June SO contractors, however, are allowed until July 10 to submit proposals for build ing the 84 miles of the track from matron, the present northern terminus of the projected road. Local Harriman officials will make no estimate of the probable cost of building the two sec tion, of this railroad but It Is believed th Improvement will involve an ex penditure of approximately $2,226,000. Hood Announces Extension. General Manager OBrien and Chief Engineer Boschke. of the Harriman lines In the Pacific Northwest, were advised late yesterday afternoon of the proposed extensions in the Oregon Eastern. The information came in a letter from Chief Engineer Hood, of the Southern Pacific at San Francisco, who requested that Portland contract ors be advised and given an opportu nity to submit bids. While the Oregon Eastern is located entirely within this state, its construc tion and all details relating thereto will be directed from the San Francisco offices of the Southern Pacific. When the road has been built, it will be turned over to the operating depart ment, but not until then does it come under the Jurisdiction of General Man ager O'Brien. Cover Third or Length. The two extensions, aggregating about o miles, for which bids have been asked, cover about one-third of the length or the proposed road, which, according to the approved survey, will he 198.6 miles in length from Klamath ' Falls to Natron. The extension of 34.24 miles out of Natron is all In Lane County and la regarded a heavy piece of construction work. It will extend in a southeasterly direction and will penetrate both a mountainous and a heavily timbered section. Construction of the Klamath Falls end of the author ised extensions will not be as difficult. From Klamath Fail ... - - . "uic Ul LUfl railroad extends northwesterly and the extension of 25.24 miles will terminate in the vicinity of Survey station, at a i'"'"' oomewnat northerly from Sprague River. The action of Harriman in calling for x bids for extending this road by begin ning work simultaneously at Natron and KlnmntVi Poll, i - . . . la aipiea as con - evidence ot his determination to complete its construction. It is figured that to build the 60 miles of track for which bids hare been invited will prac tically exhaust the appropriation that has been made for this road for the ensuing year. For that reason addi tional appropriations for further exten sions are looked for next year. Means Completion or Road. There can be no question of the ulti mate purpose of Harriman to complete this road between Natron and Klamath Falls. Completion of the extensions for which proposals have been asked can not In themselves add materially to the value or the property. By extending the road 25 miles northerly from Klam ath Falls, the northern terminus of the southern extension would reach only Into the heart of Klamath County.

That h had mathematically proved a discov ery that the moon was a planet cap tured by the earth from space, and not a detached portion of our globe, was the announcement made tonight by Professor T. J. J. See, astronomer In charge of the naval observatory at Mare Island. In a report to the Astronomical Society of the Paciric He rejects entirely the long-accepted theories or La Place and Sir George Darwin, ascribing earthly origin to the moon, and asserts that his discovery Is supported by rigorous mathematical proof based on the methods of Hill, Poincare and Darwin. Professor See's announcement was a further development of his discovery promulgated last January, that all planets and satellites are captured bodies whose orbits have been reduced since in size and rounded Into perfect circles under the secular action of the nebular resisting medium once pervad ing the solar system. In a second paper, Proressor See ex plained the famous outstanding Hi equality or six seconds In the secular acceleration of the moon's mean mo tion. By his discovery that the moon was still slowly nearing the earth. Pro fessor See said he had removed the last difficulty and the result would be a decided improvement In astronomy.
