Into the Klamath Valley landscape as though It had always been there," said Robert E. Strahorn, who has returned with Mrs. Strahorn from a two months' visit to Klamath Falls to his Portland' headquarters In the North wept Bank building. "Grading has proceeded very well, and our only delay of note with track ' laying occurred about three miles out from Klamath Falls on account of fail ure of the Reclamation Service promptly to approve and return plans for a bridge over the main Govern ment Irrigation canal. The track Is now in sight of Olene, 10 miles out, and construction trains are hauling ma terial from there to the city to com plete a considerable fill at the crossing of the Southern Pacific. All our equip ment Is on hand and working very satisfactorily. Small shops and a water supply have been provided. Fencing the right of way, crossings and cross ing signs and surfacing the track are carried right along close up to the tracklaylng. All the steel and about half the ties and most other material are on hand for the first 20 miles. Labor Situation Difficult. 'The labor situation has grown more difficult since my last visit here and has delayed work on two of our heaviest rock cuts. Fortunately these are out near the 20-mile post, so that we will not be seriously behind In furnishing service to the most Important terri tory. "Five lumber mills scattered along from seven to 15 miles out, which have kept about 80 teams and trucks busy all Summer handling their product, are still holding a- good deal of It for us. There is also a lot of grain and other freight waiting all along. As an ex ample, one farmer 12 miles cut says he will hold 7000 bushels of wheat till Spring , if we don't get there sooner. At a point eight miles out about 30 farmers have organized a warehouse company to supply ample storage facili ties and are bridging ,-Lost River to reacn us at the most convenient point Land rielng Cleared. "Much new land Is being cleared of sagebrush and plowed to put into grain this Fall and in the Spring as -a result or our railway project. In fact, there is me greatest activity along the line known in the Klamath country for six years past. Besides the main Klamath Irrigation project, consisting of about 200.000 fres, there are some half a dozen smaller irrigation districts and Independent projects being organized, ranging in size from 1000 to 10,000 acres, beveral of these are so far ad vanced as to insure water for next season. "But the most Important reclamation project undertaken for years is. the drainage of Lower Klamath Marsh, consisting of some SO, 000 acres, which Is now provided for and will result In the cultivation of these wonderfully rich land3 In the near future. This has only reqatred the diversion of over flow water of Klamath River, which Is now accomplished just as the diversion of Lost River Is gradually drying up Tule Lake and reclaiming 75,000 acres In the southeast part of Klamath County and Northern California. Mean while some 20,000 acres of the wonder- fully rich tule lands f Upper Klamath Lake are also being reclaimed by uicugiiiK oy inaiviauais, as are many thousand acres of wet valley lands un- oer irovernment auspices. Indian Lands Purchased. important deve ODmenta arn aln taking place on Klamath Indian Reser vation. About 100 tracts of these In dian lands, ranging In size.from 80 to acres, were sold during the Sum mPr and 92 additional tracts are to be soia jjecemDer 22. These lands are sold io toe nignest bidder, resulting in their gradual absorption by white farmers and stockmen who are glad to settle jpon and develop them, as the Klamath Indians are considered good neighbors. The lands are appraised at io sib an acre and are generally bought at what are considered very icauiijiuie iigures. "Another detail making for .the de veiopment of this reservation is the gradual awarding of letters of com peteney to the more progressive and competent Indians, which makes them citizens and places them In position to eeii or otherwise dispose of their oron erty. A commission Is now in session mi jviamatn Agency awarding 100 of mese letters or competency. Klamath District Prosperous. "In spite of the several Berlous fires of which you have been advised, as wen as the handicap of the dryest sea son ever known, Klamath Falls and its tributary country is having the most prosperous season since the completion or its first railroad. The big flouring mm is oeing rebuilt, fireproof and larger ana better than ever. Arramre rnents are also being made to rebuild me cuwana mi lactory on. much bet ter and safer lines than hefm-e a ber of good brick buildings are going " many nomes. inree lumber jiiuis hi large capacity have been ar ranged for next year, dependent only upon the completion of our railway line to the timber supply. Business men universally say this has been their banner business year and most of them attribute it largely to the impetus to utrciopmrai caused Dy tne new rail way. "Having thus tasted of the fruits of tne. beginning of the project, now that the completion of the first section is ov ia.e an nanas are more xr ,n anxious for Its Immediate exten eion. I am. of course. hoDeful th.it w may be able to go ahead,-but this, of iurse, aepenas almost wholly upon vnciner zne war is to sidetrack all fucn aevejopment or to a sufficient de eree encourage It."

As a result of the purchase of an outfit of this character last Spring,,. the County Court estimates that the cost of road grading and construction in this county has been reduced about one-half. The tractor is used to pre pare the roadbed and also to haul crushed rock. The 75-horsepower en gine. In a single load, hauls 32 square yards of gravel, equal to average loads for 20 teams of horses, and travels over the road at about the same speed. The second tractor and equipment will be identical with the one which has been used throughout the Summer. Kitchen Economics By Isobel Brands SALEM HEARS DR.
