THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1917,
"Tnth the first contracts let only 90
days ago, and all our troubles growing
out of the war, our new railroad al
ready fits . 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

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

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
