Iart of Equipment lor First 2 0 Mile Vnit on Ground and De livery of Itcmainder Expected Before it Is deeded. Robert E. Strahorn. who has started to build a network of railroads In Cen tral Oregon and who came to Portland Wednesday to confer with the Public Service Commission over the construc tion of a series of grade crossings, re mained In town yesterday to purchase a. quantity of supplies and material for his new roads. Respite ths fact that the freight rate from San Francisco to Klamath Kalis, where Mr. Stra horn's first construction unit is in progress, is much lower than from Portland, a large quantity of ma terial has been bouprht here. Mr. Strahorn reports that the people of Klamath Falls are determined to operate their business and their in dustries, despite the meddling of I. W. W. agitators. The situation is improv ing, he says. Supplies Are Purchased. "I came in principally with my chief engineer to confer with the Public tiervice Commission on the subject of crossings." said Mr. Strahorn yester day. "These are particularly numerous on our first 20 miles out of Klamath Kails and within the city limits. The Commission started us out all right and we hope that within 30 days we can have final action on all of them, to construction need not be delayed. "While here we also inspected the vupplies of rolling stock and construc tion material we have purchased. We are spending about one-fourth of the cost of the first 20 miles of our road with dealers here in Portland and are reiving on Portland reciprocating by coming up promptly with its promised assistance to our project when condi tions grow more fa'orable. Preliminary Work none. "Contracts have been let for all rrad Ing. 10 miles of steel has been received and 10 miles more is en route. Materi al yards and tracks are nearly com pleted, several miles of grade is com plete and bridge material has been de livered. Ties are coming along and if there i no delay in receipt of these. snd labor conditions do not become more acute we expect to begin track laying within 30 days and complete the 20 miles to Dairy before Winter. That m-iii taUe us through the heart of the Klamath Valley, across the lower end of Poe Valley and at Dairy put us into the lower end of Yonna Valley, with Bonanza in the lower end of Iangell Vr, nv onlv six miles distant. Thus we will open up not only a nice business in rich farming country. Put, pegin- ning seven miles out from Klamath Kails, great forests or tne iinesi pine timber reach well down the slopes of neighboring mountains all the way out, and some half a dozen Tnills. now saw ing and employing many teams to haul their product, are clamoring for our service. Tue line will be a great de veloping factor for the Langrell Valley country. This is a valley about 20 miles long and from two to five miles wide, all now too distant from the railway to justify production of anything whlc.h must be hauled to market. "Scarcity of labor would not exist In the interior to any appreciable ex tent if the work and an average degree f efficiency could he naa irom me large majority who want to work, in Btead of their being so universally pre vented or their efficiency impaired by the small minority of nomadic agitators who masquerade as workers but whose chief function is to discourage work and even to destroy the industries and enterprise which are so anxious to fur nish it."

I wish, to say that any and all contribution may be given to Mrs. It. E. Oliver, 607 Cor bett building, who has bonded herself for the keeping of this fund. Since the fraternal orders of the city and state have so generously given their as sistance to the Oregon Army and Navy Auxiliary to raise the money for this ambu lance, many seem to be uuder the Impres sion that more than one fund Is being raised. Personally, T know of no other fund than the one the Oregon Army and Navy Auxil iary Is raising, with the exception of the one being raised for the ITnited States For estry Service, but which has no connection with the one for the Third Oregon boys. We have the Indorsement and co-opera- tion of Governor Withycombe, Mayor Baker, District Attorney Kvans. Commissioner Bar bur, H. S. Hudson, William Riedt and many other prominent men and organizations of the state. Realizing the neceeslty of a convenient and responsible place for this work to be con ducted from, our organization decided to accept the offer of office room and services of Mrs. Oliver, the original projector of the ambulance fund campaign. Mrs. Oliver bond covering the amount of tne price of the ambulance decided on, is placed wlith the United States National Bank, and will be shown to any and all per sons wishing to see It, upon request. Among the many splendid workers in the Auxiliary is the wife of Colonel J. L. May. Mri May Is now touring the state, soliciting funds and is meeting with great success. The people of the state are responding most liberally and we are anxious for hearty co-operation from all of our Oregon people. A statement will be Issued trora time to time to the press, telling of the progress of th work. A receipt will be given for all donations and deposit slips for the bank are made bearing the name of each donor, and statements will be given to the different papers for publication.

July 26. Legislation to protect the public against unreason able prices for American flags was urged n a report to the Senate today by the Federal Trade Commission which has investigated charges of "gouging by dealers made at the time the United States entered the war. The commis sion reported that the recent rise in prices was due to unprecedented de mand and attempts by an association of flagmakers to fix prices. The Commission has ordered pro ceedings to stop attempts recently made to fix a new standard at 100 per cent above old prices as means of guarding against decline in the market when the supply again overtakes the .demand. The report points out that while the cost of materials has not increased more than 00 per cent in the last year. the margin of manufacturers on new business has been 600 per cent, some retail dealers have realized 400 per cent profit and the total profit to flag manufacturers was ten times what it was in 1916.
