THE OREGON i DAILY -JOURNAL. PORTLAND. TUESDAY, MAY 13. . 1919. MATH MAES AN APPEAL FOR RAILROAD LINE Senator McNary Receives Let ters From Young and Old De manding Building of Section. ACTION THOUGHT PROBABLE Matter of Eugene-Klamath Falls Link to Be Presented to 5. P. , Directors for Their Approval. Washington. May 13. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Klamath county's cry for development, for orderly progress and for a full seat at the table in the Oregon family is voiced abundantly in a letter filed in Sen ator McNary's office. He has marked it "Natron Cut-off File, and it is con stantly growing. : These' letters are from old and young, business men, ranchers, officials and schoolchildren. Senator McNary will use them in , the future steps of the effort he Is making to have early action taken by the railroad administration. He has received sufficient encourage ment to believe that the building of .t-l I - J .1 I ? ltlr 9 .9 1111 lUHK-uaiajcu i ja.yi uuil vm miles between Eugene and Klamath Falls will not be much longer delayed. WILI, APPEAL TO S. P. ' Just now he Is waiting for more com plete data from Klamath Falls. The next move after that will be to present the matter in a formal way before the board of directors of the" Southern Pacl fie company, for the railroad admin istration will require the assent of that Company before it takes any action. VBeyond that lies the question of an appropriation by congress for the rail road administration sufficient in sum to permit it to undertake construction of a project of this sort, and then the final approval and apportionment of funds for this purpose by the federal administration. The project seems about to come forth from the realm of the vague to the reality of practical con sideration. " There is human Interest in the letters in the "Natron cut-off file" in Senator McNary's office. Bankers and business men tell of the near half millnon acres that may be irrigated, of 17.000 head of beef cattle that can be shipped to Port land each year, of 31,000.000.000 feet of California white pine ready for the mills, of th undeveloped water power, of the 1150.000 yearly lost to shippers in 'shrinkage of livestock shipments, of the standing of Klamath Falls as ninth In Oregon in bank deposits, of the trade of Klamath and Lake eaualling one eighth of the entire state, and of the common desire to become a close neigh Hor of Portland and the other cities of Oregon. WHAT LETTERS SAT i The letters of the little people, proud of Klamath and eager to promote the growth of their town, are not less in teresting. Here Is what some of them aay: '"I would rather build up Oregon than California." Nellie Elliott, v '"Papa sold eighty hundred pounds of potatoes last week and he hid, to, send thm to San Francisco," Mary Whlte 8 tie. - -l would like to go to Portland some time, and if the road was through It wouldn't post so much." Homer Carich. 'It would save 12 hours going to Port land." Stella Setser. ! "This road would Bave $14 on a round trip to Portland and 110 on every steer shipped. We want to build up Portland, not San Francisco." Dale Soule. : "In going the other route ther r th Siskiyou mountains, and it takes two or three engines to pull the trains.' Con stance Crystal. We would rather use the things we grow in our own state." Gordon Smith. "1 am a little girl who loves Oregon, and , some day. X . would - like Klamath Falls to be a big city. And. before we can make it big, we must have the Na tron ctit-off finished." Lena Lewin. "We1! have - some" of the largest " pota toes that you can Ond. Right In Kla math Falls we have two big box fac tories and a little way up in the moun tains we have several logging camps. We also, have the best flotir mills in Oregon. But we have to send alt oar products to California." Dorotby Gates. - "Every year we raise the best celery on the- pacific ceast. It can't be beaten anywhere, but it costs too much to ship it out It is the same way with cattle and lumber. Pansy Robertson. This road would pay for Itself in a short time, as it would pass Crater lake." Tedy Beckett. . Enforced Speaking Of English by AH Immigrants. Plan Washington, May 13.

Claxton, United States commissioner of education, in an address before the Americanization conference' here Mon day. "Without knowledge of English, no one can become an American." said Dr. Claxton.

PARKER (Fiialeu Parte) Why Tom Boiled Over (A True Story) By Dr. E. R. Parker (Painless Parker) Tom used to. boil over, from time to time. When he boiled over he would drink, fight, lie, steal. He had been sent ninety three times to jails jand work-houses during thirty years on charges of drunkenness and fighting. Criminals often boil over. They feel suddenly a strong desire to drink. They get nervous, depression, restlessness, fatigue. They are quarrelsome and don't attend to their duties if they are on the job. These people are often called Dipsomaniacs. They are "nutty." Tom was like that. When he was not boiling over he was very pleasant, capable and obliging. In his good intervals he was very eager to stop drinking! What was the matter with him? . : For a long time no one could find out. A dentist solved the .mystery. An X.RAY examination showed two of his teeth were decaying. The v were immediately treated. That was in 1909. Since that time Tom has been entirely sober. He has been working steadily on one job. He has been happy. He no longer has those fits of Dipsomania. Tom has been entirely changed. , This story is told by an eminent man of science, Professor H. S. Upson. Bad Teeth are among the most frequent causes of insanity. nvGA J ncoS YOUR TEETH THOROUGHLY EXAMINED, BY AN EXPERT DENTIST Not only when you have a toothache but when ever you-are restless, sleepless, depressed, or anywise unhappy.'
