REQUESTS REACH SERVICE TT TT1 Yl II IL J 7T . is'- , u f: - , J Senator Chamberlain Refers Sfatter to Federal Department; Recent Investigation Aids Little. OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. Oct. 18. Much activity Is apparent In behalf of the reclama tion of marsh lands In the Klamath lake region of Oregon. Requests for examination of the drainage pos sibilities and the character of the soil have been reaching the United States reclamation service at regular Inter vals. One of these was referred to the reclamation service recently by Senator Chamberlain. This Inquiry related to reclamation of lands In lower Klamath lake marsh In Klam ath drainage district, all in Oregon. A- P. Davis, director of the reclama tion service, has written to Senator Chamberlain that a recent Investi gation of the marsh lands around lower Klamath lake has failed to dis close positive evidence of their value for agricultural purposes. Only two small gardens were noted as having been cultivated. He says: Little Land Cultivated. "Tt Is probably understood that those living around these marsh lands are largely stockmen. The cutting of grass and tules, with running of stock, are the Important industries. Very little time or effort Is spent on general cultivation. On Willow creek and Sheepy creek on the east side of the lake there Is some Irrigation with fair results, but It may be stated with considerable Justification that these regions are not fairly typical of the marsh lands generally. "Investigations further showed that this coming fall and spring certain persons stated they intended to try to raise grain, different ones putting in from a few to 40. acres. If they carry out their Intentions the re sult of their experiments will be watched with Interest. They state that those who are most familiar with the marsh lands have great con fidence in them. "Very little conclusive evidence can be found as to the agricultural value of the lands around lower Klamath lake, although there is some evidence of the value of similar lands around the upper lake." FnndB Are Lncklng. A further Investigation at this time Is impossible. Director Davis says, on account of lack of funds. He con tinues: "If, however, the Klamath drain age district or any other organiza tion will advance 60 per cent of the cost of such investigations this serv ice xnisrht be willing to recommend an allotment from some future ap propriation for this purpose." There Is no hope for the present of the passage by the senate of the bill already passed by the house re ducing the tax on loganberry juice. which affects a large and growing Industry in western Oregon and Washington. Chairman Penrose of the senate finance committee says the committee cannot take up any tariff or revenue legislation until the treaty is out of the way. After that the intention is to take up a gen eral revision of the tariff schedules and revenue laws. The most dis couraging prospect Is that the presi dent will veto any tariff or revenue legislation that is enacted by this congress.

Militia Alons Line of KaUroad. (CopyrfrM by th New Tork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON, Oct. 18. (Special cable.) Although it was known here that Spain and Portugal, like the rest of the world, have been suffering from the strike epidemic, no details of the serious conditions that have prevailed have been permitted to leak out, for both countries are under martial law. A business man, who has made a tour of those countries, recently told the world of his exciting experience in railway etrikes. "The journey from Madrid to Lis bon, covered usually In 18 hours, oc cupied three days," he said. "Our progress through Spain was dead slow and we were frequently brought to a standstill while the track, which had been damaged by strikers, was re paired. "Reaching Portuguese territory, however, matters became really seri ous. A company of soldiers with loaded rifles came aboard and ehortly afterward the train was attacked by a large body of strikers. A regular battle took place, the strikers hurling brickbats, rocks and any other mis siles they could lay hands on, at the train, while the soldiers fired on the strikers from the carriage windows. "Meanwhile the terrified passengers took what cover they could find, un der the eeata and so on. "When the strikers wer eventu ally driven off and the track was re paired the train proceeded, bnt toward evening it waa again stopped at a small town and the passengers were Informed that the track had been torn up for snch a long distance it was impossible to proceed until next morning. "All through the night fierce fight ing raged in the streets of this town, the militia using many guns and strikers throwing bombs." The World's informant said that after the strike had been In progress some days the authorities chained strikers, who had been arrested, on trucks which were run a little ahead of the locomotives. Those who had business and were compelled to reach the coast, had to pay about $1000 for transportation by automobile from the interior of Spain and Portugal. Cartozian Bros. Inc.
