HILL REAL 11 Railroad Crew's Operations Cause Wonderment. SURVEYORS JUMP BIG LAKE Klamath Falls Folk Fall to Under stand Movements of Camp Lake of the Woods Seems to Be Rendezvous of Builders. KLAMATH FALLS, Or, June 26. (Special.) The people of Klamath Falls who have been anxiously watch ing: the movements of the Hill rial road engineers are now wondering what has become of the crew that was on the west side of the Upper Klamath Lake a few days ago. A week ago this crew moved camp from the east side of the lake to the west side in the vicinity of Pelican Bay Lodge, now owned by the South ern Pacific, ,but formerly the property of the late E. H. Harrlman. After re maining there several days and mak ing trips around through the country adjacent to the lake they pulled up camp and started back into the moun tains. Just where they are now cannot be learned. From the best sources of in formation at hand it is thought this crew is now camped at the ake of the Woods, about 30 miles northwest of Odessa. The branch of the Hill road from Medford going toward Klamath Falls to connect with the Oregon Trunk Line is being surveyed and built from Bend this way via Crescent and will hit the north end of the Upper Klamath in the vicinity of Fort Klamath. This survey is said to have been completed to Four Mile Lake, south of Mount Pitt and between this and Brown's Butte. Four Mile Lake is only a few miles from Lake of the Woods, and it Is the general opinion that this surveying crew has gone there to begin the work of surveying this line from where It was left off at Four Mile Lake a few weeks ago to tap the other line near the head of the Upper Klamath. Where the Hill line is to go after coming to the north end of this lake is another question. While the gen eral supposition is that the main line win come into Klamath Falls and then go down the Klamath River to tide water, those who know refuse to tell. CANAL CASE TO BE REVISED Petition Filed for Rehearing on Lake Washington Project. OLYMPIA, Wash., June 27. (Special.) A petition for a rehearing of the Lake Washington canal case was filed today in the State Supreme Court, Which ac tion has the effect of holding the de cision in abeyance until the petition is determined. In its recent decision holding void the King County assessment to raise money to pay for the canal, the Supreme Court said the state law only permitted such assessment to be made on condition that the United States recognize the water way officially, which has not been done. With the petition for rehearing filed today was a certified copy of the rivers and harbors bill, signed by President Taft last Saturday, which officially and formally recognizes the canal. Under the Supreme Court rules this was the last day a petition for rehear ing could be filed. Such petitions are considered at the convenience of the court, and this may not be disposed of until after the mid-Summer vacation. MERRILL REFUSES TO BUY Rlght-of-Way Purchase for Railroad Hangs Fire. MERRILL, Or., June 27. (Special.) Will S. Worden, right-of-way agent for the Modoc Northern Railroad, came down from Klamath Falls Saturday to interest the people of the city in rais ing the funds for the purchase of a right of way from here to Klamath Falls. Several weeks ago it was announced that this town would donate a free site for yards and depot, but the right of way agent asked that In addition to this the town raise half the amount needed to purchase the right of way. While the people here are anxious to have a railroad they do not feel that they should be called upon to raise the money out of their own pockets to buy the right of way further than to offer the right of way in the city and depot site. Consequently, Mr. Worden's proposition was not very enthusiastical ly received. $6000 RAISED BY CHURCH Vancouver Methodists Pay for Alter ations and Rededicate. VANCOUVER. Wash., June 27.
