T OF RAILWAY
NEARLY COMPLETED
Washburn Objective Point for
This Year of Road Headed
for Tillamook Country.
FINE TIMBER BEING TAPPED
Line Surveyed to Have Maximum
Grade of 2 Per Cent and Exten
sive Logging Operations Are
Due to Start This Fall.
Construction of the Gales Creek &
'Wilson River Railroad, which is des
tined to furnish a new route to Tilla
mook, has been under way for four
months and the first 10-mile unit,
costing $300,000, will be completed be
fore the wet season sets in.
The line connects with the United
Railways at Wilkesboro and will be
built this year to Washburn, a new
settlement in the heart of a rich tim
ber district. Some extensive logging
operations will be started at Wash
burn as soon as the road is completed
to that point.
The route of. the new road is almost
due west from Wilkesboro. which is
the terminus of the United Railways.
It follows the meandering of Gales
Creek well toward the summit of the
Coast range, but does not attain the
summit.
The line has been surveyed to Tilla
mook and eventually the road will be
extended to that city. When the
Tillamook extension is built a new
and easy route between Portland and
the Tillamook country will be pro
vided. The survey maintains a maximum
grade of two per cent, with freedom
from excessive curvature.
The route down the western Elope of
the Coast range is along Wilson River,
which it crosses several times.
That part of the road now under
construction requires some extensive
trestle construction, a number of heavy
fills and deep cuts. The work is being
done, however, on the standards of
modern railroad construction, so that
the project can serve, when called
upon, as a part of the through line
between Portland and Tillamook.
Porter & Conley are the contractors on
the work now -under way.
Arrangements have been made to
transport logs over the new road to
Linnton, where they will be milled.
Traffic agreements for this purpose
will be made with the United Railways.
The new logging operations at
Washburn are expected to result in the
establishment of a thriving little
community there.
It is intended to complete only the
first 10-mile unit this year, but an
other link may be built next year.
The Gales Creek & Wilson River
Railroad Company is a Portland proj
ect, but has been financed principally
in the East. John Pearson is president;
Ralph E. Williams, vice-president: Jesse
Stearns, secretary, and J. R. Hurlburt,
assistant secretary and treasurer. These,
with O. M. Clark, comprise the board
of directors.
Albany Officers on Leave.

lough before reporting for active serv
ice. Six of the seven Albany men who
won commissions at the first camp are
now here. Captain Mark V. Weather
ford, First Lieutenant Frank M. Powell,
Miles H. McKay and John H. Gibson,

Portland Doubles Consump
tion of Ice-Cream Delicacies.
PRICES NOT INCREASED
Raw Material Costs Twice as Much,
bat Abnormal Appetite Pre
vents Rise Prohibition Is
Credited for Demand.
Portland consumed twice as many
ice-cream sodas and sundaes this Sum
mer as in any previous season. It
smiled Into the frothy coolness of num
berless glasses with crushed-fruit
trimmings, and spaded away a minia
ture Mount Hood of the warm weather
solace. The city founded a record for
plain and fancy ice cream demolition.
wherever a soda fountain fizzes In
Portland, or a manufacturer trans
forms the dairy product into frozen de
light, the information tallies. The ice
cream vogue, they repeat, was the un
rivaled sensation of the Summer.
Although no dealer or. manufacturer
anticipated the doubled demand,, the
Increase in ice cream sales held the
fort against the increase in cost of
cream and other materials and enabled
the retaining of a profit by cutting
down overhead expense.
Cream Advance SO Per Cent.
Raw cream advanced more than 60
per cent during the season. It is now
quoted at $1.40 a gallon. Tet the dish
of ice cream remained unchanged in
price, portion or quality. Sut for the
unprecedented approval of the public
the Summer refreshment would have
skylarked with other food products.
In other years the public demand for
ice cream has been spasmodic: gov
erned more or less by the vagaries of
weather. This season was different.
say the dealers. From the opening of
the Ice cream season to the present
day the host of devotees has steadily
increased.
Anticipating an increase in cost, re
tailers of ice cream early in the sea
son dispensed with delivery service and
established convenient district agencies
throughout the city. Moreover, they
say such a step was rendered doubly
necessary by the fact that most of
their motorcycle delivery forces re
signed to enlist with the colors.
French Pastry la Memory Only.
By actual test the retailers and man
ufacturers determined that ice-cream
was no idle, gustatory pastime, but a
staple food of the highest order. To
abolish it does not fit anywhere in the
scheme of wartime economy. French
pastry must wane, to return only at the
close of the war, according to their
plans and predictions, but the soda and
sundae shall not falter.
They discovered that a dish of ice
cream, an ice-cream soda or a malted
milk. In which ice cream plays a stellar
role, with a few wafers, comprised the
luncheon of many citizens. Certain
patrons, elderly people for the most
part, were found to be benefiting their
digestions by a daily dish with a dash
of nuts or fruit. Business men gave
the approval of instant patronage to
the ice-cream luncheon.
Prohibition Helpa Salea,
But prohibition, it is conceded by
dealers, played a prominent part in the
Increase of ice-cream patronage. Men
found at the soda-fountain bar a pleas
ant and nutritious substitute for the
tall beers of other days. Chanci com
ments over the sundae or soda, heard
day after day, confirmed the prohibi
tion theory.
Dealers declare their satisfaction in
the Increase of ice-cream business that
counter-balanced the climbing cost of
production and kept the price at its
established standard.

STRAHQHN TO LAY
RAILS N EXT WEEK
First Locomotive Reaches New
Railroad Project One Year
After First Proposal.
KLAMATH INDUSTRY HUMS
Removal of Two Big Steamships
Slakes New Railway South From
Portland Absolutely Neces
sary, Says Promoter.
Robert E. Strahorn, who Is conduct
ing; active operations on his new rail
road project at Klamath Falls, re
turned to Portland last night after an
absence of nearly two months, and will
leave In a few days for ihs home in
Spokane for a brief visit. He is ac
companied by Mrs. Strahorn. Mr.
Strahorn reports satisfactory progress
on his new railroad enterprise and no
labor difficulties, despite the I. W. "W.
disturbances there a few weeks ago.
"We expect to return to Klamath
Falls to push completion of our work
after passing a few days in Spokane
and Portland," said Mr. Strahorn last
night.
"The work Is progressing very sat
isfactorily. Every mile of the first
20-mlle unit Is now covered by con
tractors, who have made such good
progress that tracklaying will be
pushed out for several miles from
Klamath Falls next week and contin
ued just as quickly as we can bridge
the big Government irrigation canal,
which will require a week or 10 days.
Beyond the canal the grade is com
pleted three or four miles more to
enable us to lay a temporary track for
operation . of steam shovels on some
cuts from which the material is to be
handled by construction train Into the
city terminal district, where, it is
needed to bring some of the low ground
up to grade."
First Locomotive Is Met.
On his way to Portland Saturday Mr.
Strahorn met the first locomotive for
his new road proceeding under Its own
steam over the summit of the Siskl-
yous south of Ashland. Peculiarly
enough, the engine was due to get on
Its tracks at Klamath Falls exactly
one year from the day that Mr. Stra
horn made his first proposition for con
struction of the line out of that city.
"The sight of that locomotive im
pressed us with the fact that the
project has been transformed into a
living reality in a comparatively short
time," continued Mr. Strahorn. "And
this notwithstanding the delays and
discouragements that have intervened.
"Other equipment now is on the
ground and all material is coming along
in good shape. One four-mile stretch
of grade is completed near Dairy as
well as several other shorter sections
between Dairy and the other work near
the city of Klamath Falls I have de
scribed.
"While possibly not all due to this
railway development there is much ac
tivity and many evidences of still
greater progress in the Klamath coun
try for the near future. Everybody
but the confirmed pessimist is taking
a new interest in life and showing his
faith by new work, some of which is
of real importance.
The reclamation of many thousand
acres of tule lands and the irrigation
of many thousands more of dry lands
has been started this season and some
of it already accomplished.
At least 100,000 acres of the most
productive lands in the country are
provided for in the various projects
now under way or proposed. But fully
800,000 additional acres remain to be
reclaimed in Klamath County alone.
Six New Mills Started.
Six new lumber mills and box fac
tories have been started this year and
with those previously operated are
furnishing one full trainload of lumber
daily for shipment over the Southern
Pacific. Six of the smaller mills are
sawing in the forests tributary to our
first 20-mile unit and are keeping
about SO teams and auto trucks busy
hauling their products to Klamath
Falls. Other plants are- to be built
along our line as quickly as we can
furnish the transportation.
Off in another direction the Pelican
Bay Lumber Company is building 18
miles of railroad to reach timber for its
increased demands.
All irrigated lands have produced
tremendous crops this year. Dry-land
farming, usually quite successful in
that region of 18 inches rainfall In nor
mal years, has been just disappointing
enough this year to stimulate every
district to provide irrigation facilities,
But it 13 amazing how grain has
persisted in growing and ripening with
60 days of continuous drought. Many
fields, thought ruined two weeks ago,
will produce 10 to 20 bushels of No.
grain.
I have been much surprised at the
almost universal presence on the older
farms of the family orchard. It has
generally been understood that In the
Eastern Oregon country at an average
evatlon of 4000 feet the production o
fruit was out of the question. Nothing
could be more erroneous. Apples, pears,
plums, cherries and on some farms
peaches and all hardy fruits are pro
duced just as successfully by hundreds
of families as In any of the states eas
of here. This probably is the best guide
to an appreciation of the excellence of
the climate and the productiveness of
the country.
Many Bulldlngrs Rise. '
Within 30 days after we commenced
construction of our new line about
$100,000 worth of new buildings were
started in Klamath Falls and vicinity
and steps are being taken to insure the
early building of a beet sugar factory
which will carry with it the construc
tion of some more railway. These are
only a few of the leading illustrations
of the life of connaence pervading that
whole country.
Mr. Strahorn believes that the Gov
ernment's proposal to take over the
Great Northern and. Northern Pacifi
steamers provides additional necessity
for early completion of his project.
"Judging from the showing made in
The Oregonlan a few weeks ago, h
said, "the proposal to take these ves
sels off of the Portland-San Francisco
run will be little short of a calamity to
the whole Pacific Coast, as the people
will have to place their dependenc
upon the remaining steamship lines
and the single-track, tortuous and
heavy-grade mountain line of th
Southern Pacific.
"We ought not to rest until we have
insured the creation of another rail
route from Portland via Bend and Cen
tral Oregon to a connection with the
Southern Pacific and Western Pacific
lines east of the mountains.
"This Is now a mattetr of more than
local Importance. It has reached the
dignity of a National problem."
Whan man breathes he uses his mus
cular strength to draw in the air and it
is afterward forced out automatically.
With insects, as a German investigator
has just discovered, this process is just
reversed.
The
Interstate Commerce Commission
says:
" The " efficiency and excellence of
the present service over both of
these routes annears not to be
questioned'
"Rarely does
present an
whose testimony so uniformly in
dorses the character of the service
as does this record.'

GE CASE IS POSHED
Arrest of W. N. Daniels Pre
dicted by Health Officer.
RIGID LAW IS PROPOSED
Head of Company Found With Im
pure Frodnct Declares It Was
Contaminated by Accident
and Was Not for Sale.
City Health Officer Parrish will hold
a conference with State Dairy and Food
Commissioner Mlckle and Municipal In
vestigator Humason at the City Hall
this morning at 9 o'clock, for the pur
pose of uniting forces for a general
campaign against the sale of impure
ice in Portland.
Acting under section 19 of the ses
sion laws of 1917, prohibiting the sale,
or offering for sale, of adulterated food
or drink. Dr. Parrish yesterday an
nounced that a warrant would be
issued for the arrest of W. N. Daniels,
president of the Liberty Coal & Ice
Company.
A cake of ice was taken by attaches
of the Bureau of Health from the
product of the Liberty Coal & Ice Com
pany last week and was placed with
City Bacteriologist Pernot for analysis.
It developed countless bacteria. Mr.
Daniels asserts that this particular ice
was not for sale.
New Ordinance Drafted,
It was this specimen and the result
ant analysis that caused City Commis
sioner Mann, who has charge of the
Bureau of Health, to cause the draft
ing by the City Attorney of an ordi
nance to prohibit the use of river
water for the manufacture of ice
That Is now in form and will be pre
sented to the Council Wednesday
morning, at which time Mr. Mann will
make an official explanation of the
situation to Mayor Baker and Commis
sioners Farbur, Bigelow and Kellaher,
and will ask that this measure be
passed with an emergency clause.
"I will meet with Mr. Mickle. State
Dairy and iTood Commissioner, and
Mr. Humason. city special investigator,
at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning in my
office and together we will work out
nlans to stop the sale of impure ice in
Portland." said City Health Officer
Parrish yesterday. "I believe that
measure passed by the 1917 Legislature
will enable us to proceed witn tne ar
rest and nrosecution of Mr. Daniels.
am strongly for the ordinance prohib-
itiner river water for ice manuracture.
We will proceed vigorously against all
persons who may be louna selling an
impure article.
Investigation to Be Made.
Dr. Parrish announced that he would
start an investigation today that will
include every ice plant in the city to
determine whether any river water is
being used for ice.
Mr. Daniels declared yesterday that
the piece of ice from which the analysis
was made was manufactured from Bull
Run water, but that it had been con
taminated from an overhead pipe. His
.engineer, he said, had discovered it and
had removed it from the saleaDle prod
uct. There were several cakes of the
same output that were spoiled, he said.
"I had not been apprised of any con
templated action by the city authori
ties," said Mr. Daniels, "although I
knew all the time that the ice had been
taken by tha health office men. I have
been making all of my Ice from Bull
Run water recently and did not Intend
to return to use of river water. For
merly, our Ice was from river supply,
but was first boiled and purified. It
analyzed perfect upon previous occa
sions. The one thing which I desire to
make clear is that this ice under dis
cussion was from Bull Run water that
