In some places the water had run up on the mountainside 30 feet. , DAIRYMEN ARE HARD HIT PROJECTOR EXPECTS HELP Residents or Klamath Falls to Be Told What They Must Do to Get Railroad Into City Length of Proposed Work 450 Miles. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Aug. . (Special.) "in ten days the survey of our railroad will be into Klamath Falls, and then I will be ready to say what will be necessary for -his city to do to ge. the railroad built in here," said Robert E. Strahorn Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Strahorn and party will do here for two or three weeks- "Ex--"Pt for the last ten miles into Klam ath Falls and about 60 miles in the J ort Kock and Harney Valley country, he line of the proposed railroad has been practically determined." he con tinued. "About 450 miles of rails will be laid, all things being favorable. The line from Bend to Klamath Falls goes In at the head of Yonna Valley and runs within two miles of Bonanza and then follows Lost River to Olene. "I am particularly interested in learn ing the traffic possibilities of the coun try and am paying less attention to engineering features," said the railroad builder. "It is the agricultural possi bilities of Central Oregon that must be known before construction of the road can be begun. Irrigation and drainagj are important, and completion o- these items must be assured. Only second in importance are the lumber and tourist possibilities, and on this trip we shall -ee Crater Lake and all the other at tractions and endeavor to ler.rn how far they might be exploited. ' There is one thing that I want to emphasize and that is that my backers and I are with you to procure the opening of the Klamath Indian reservation and the development of all other territory in Central Oregon. Klamath Falls can be made the wholesale supply point for all the territory around, and for much that extends far -o the east and north west. The line we propose will " feeder from the adjacent country for the Southern Pacific into Klamath Falls." Mr. Strahorn said on his previous visit to Klamath Falls that two things must be done for him before construc tion of the proposed road can begin First, terminals and rights of way must be given by the towns and coun- l-y through which the road is to pass and, second, 2a per cent of the entir cost of the project mi-st be subscribed by the towns benefited by the road or by other interests. The main line of the proposed road is all that has been decided upon definitely as yet, but it is understood lateral lines will be con etructed wherever traffic possibilities warrant. A road between here and Bonanza. 23 miles east, may be a link in a road from Klamath Falls to Lake- View. Columbia River Flood Damages Hay i Crop Xear Woodland, Wash. i "WOODLAND. -Wash, Aug. 3. (Spe- iaL) The high water occasioned by the Columbia River flood, which forced all the dairymen in the lower lands west and south of the town to move to higher ground, has receded suff 1- lently to permit of all of them moving ack onto their lands. The financial loss is heavy, as most of the ranchers had to rent pasturage, buy feed be sides, and the change decreased the quantity ana quality or the mun. The warm weather that has pre vailed recently has literally cooked what feed, there is on the meadows, and unless rain comes soon to wash the dirt and deposit from the grass there will be but little Fall hay saved. This will necessitate the buying of hay for the Winter, and will in some cases amount practically to a confiscation of their stock. The leasers especially will be hard-hit. ENTHUSIASM FOR LINES GREAT C. S. Hudson, Bend Banker, Finds Farmers Are Interested. BEND, Or., Aug. 3.---(Special.) C. S Hudson, president of the First National Bank of Bend, returned last night from Klamath Falls after traveling for week with Robert E.

The party, which included Mrs. Stra- horn, Mrs. Hudson and Chief Engineer Bogue, traveled over 1000 miles, visit ing Silver Lake. Lakeview, Paisley and other points before arriving in Klanv ath Falls. "Everywhere on the trip." Mr. Hud son says, "we found a growing enthu slasm for the railroad and increase confidence in Mr. Strahorn and hi ability to put it through. The thor ough manner in which Mr. Strahorn i having the engineering done and all necessary facts collected have Im pressed the people of the interior great ly and they are more ready than ever before to do all in their power to as slst by providing rights of way and terminals as requested." No public meetings were held on th trip. Mr. Strahorn confining himself to meetings with the railroad commit tes in the different towns visited "With Mrs. Strahorn. he will remain i Klamath Falls for1 several weeks work lng out details of the project. They will visit also Crater Lake and mak a tour over the country in the vicinity of Grants Pass to inspect the railroad work there before returning to Port land.

He will be accompanied on the trip by J. H. Booth, of Roseburg: Robert Booth, of Eu gene, and William Booth, of Prineville. Mr. Btfoth was born in Lancashire. England, on August 4. 1820. His father, who was a manufacturer In bis native country, brought the family to Ameri ca in 1830, and settled In Westchester County, New York. Six years later the family moved to Iowa, where the elder Mr. Booth died In the year 1838. Dur ing the year 1850 Mr. Booth made a trip to the California gold fields, cross ing the plains by ox-team, and arrived at Hangtown on July 31. The oxen made what was considered fast time, and was the first team to arrive in Cali fornia that year. By way of Nicaragua Mr. Booth left for his home in Decem ber, 1850, but encountered severe storms on the Pacific and many hardships flur. ng the trip, so that he did not reach his destination until March 25, 18E1. In April of 1852, accompanied by his wife and children, - he started for the West again, and six months later ar rived in Yamhill County. In the year 1853 he took up a donation land claim near the Grand Ronde reservation. Two years later he Joined the Oregon conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and In 1858 was ordained, his assignments being in Washington and Yamhill counties. In August, 1867, he moved to Wilbur. Douglas County, where be assumed the pastorship ot the Methodist Episcopal Church. Three years later he moved to Crook County, where he followed the ministry and engaged in the stock business.

CAMP W ITHTCOM BE, Or.. Aug. 3. SDecial.) Except for the assembling of the cars, all Is In, readiness for the departure of recruits at Camp Withy- combe. The recruits are awaiting tne word to go. Farewells to friends and relatives have been the order of the lsst few days. Tne exact time of departure will not be announced, as this Is contrary to the orders of the War Department, but any morning now may find tne troops en trained and on their way. Word that the troops are about to leave has resulted In a decided stimulus to recruiting. Ten recruits were aaaea today and three yesterday. They are: Wendell Matlock. Eugene; Claude P. Green, Hillsboro; Lloyd J. McKay. Springfield: Leo I. Sturdevant. Ulan r. Wallace. Glenn W. Richards. Daniel E. Lawrence, Henry L. Williams and Frank W. Groves, Lebanon; Clarence L. Ccmpfcell. Junction City: John B. Taylor. Halsey; John C. Gollehon. Spo kane, Wash., and waiter A. Kowan, Tillamook. Preparedness Is Objective. Preparedness real preparedness; preparedness that comes by the fit ness that comes by military training, discipline, instruction and experience, that is the irsmediate objective of troops now doing' duty on the border. What the ultimate objective is no one can say, but It ts preparedness that Is the immediate objective of the men, down at the border. Strange as it may seem, its necessity Is the one big thing that seems to be overlooked by hundreds of patriotic young men all over the state who have been asked within the past few weeks to heed their country's call. These young men are patriotic, every inch of them. They want to be up and doing. They would come to the front at the drop of the hat if there was a fight in prospect. The American loves a fight but above .11. the American loves his country. And yet. apparently. many of them forget that to make good in a fight they must be prepared. So the burden of the tale told on every hand to recruiting officers tour ing the state has been: All Ouestlo- WbT. "Well, what's the TSe of going? If there was a chance for a fight, we'd enlist in a minute, but all the trouble has quieted down in Mexico. We don't care to go down just for a little while and then be sent home again." Meanwhile Oregon troops are being prepared down at the border. They are hundreds of men short." The exact figures to date are 854 men. The Presi dent has said that they are there to protect their country.' That they are performing a big serv ice to their country in Just this way, even while undergoing the process of being prepared, no one can gainsay. That the soldiers of the regular Army, almost every one of them, have been on the border for the past five years is current history. They have been there to protect the country, and the tragic history of recent months bears witness to the fact that the task Is a bigger one than the regular Army men, for lack of numbers, have been able to handle. Detaehmeat Leaves Seen. In a day or two 175 men will leave for the border. The task of securing the next 700 men still needed will then be taken up. Permanent recruiting of fices will be established la four cities In the state Portland. The Dalles. -La Grande and Eugene. The message of real preparedness Is the one that recruiting olficers will endeavor to bring home to prospective recruits and other citizens. Referring to the necessity for mili tary preparedness. Captain K. P. Will iams, U. S. Army, today took occa sion to refer to the editorial In the Morning Oregonian dealing with the lesson of the battle of Bull Run. "I wish every citizen, especially every man eligible for service with the troops at the border, could read that editorial," said Captain Williams. ripe Organ Society to Meet.
