Will Take I'p Matter of Itoae City Contribution, With Cliumbw'of Coiiiinerco Koct to Do Its Full Hliare. (Oregon Journal.) Construction of that portion of the proposed Oregon, California & East ern railway between Bend and Klam ath Kalis will be accomplished this your If Portland does half as well proportionately us has Klamath Falls, according to liobert K. Htrahorn, projector of this pioneering railway linn for developing the great Interior country oust of thn Cascades. Mr. Htrahorn returned this morn ing from Klamath Kalis, where ho finlshod tho detallH, so far as was possibln, of the line's entrance Into thut city. Tho people there, aside from voting a 1.100.000 bond issue to aid the project, have pledged their support to take care of the freight and pnssnnger terminals and the right of way for 20 miles toword Hend. A freight terminal 2000 feet wide has already been obtained. Committers of women have braved tho zero weather of the last few weeks and have gathered In cash subscriptions in large and small amounts. Altogether. Mr. Strahorn estimated this morning, Klamath Kails Is contributing half a million dollurs In cash, terminal sites and right of wuy. Cuinpuiu.il Ik Pliinniil. Thn rullroud builder is now ready to present to Portland the proposal ho has beep holding away from until Ml Other Htitallrt'acrOoiictuited. He will present hlR plnn firm to the gen oral railway committee appointed by the Cliuiubnr of Commerce. Until thla meeting he an Id he could not announce tho amount Portland would be expected to contribute. After this presentation the cam paign to rolsn funds will bn orga nized. Judging from what Klamath Kalis bus done, he said, this cam paign should be put through with out difficulty, "Inasmuch as Klamath Kalis buys annually nearly $3,000,000 worth of goods at San Francisco and still is willing to pledge half a million just to get Into closer touch with Port land, every reason appears why Port laud should do Its share to bring big consuming territory nearer," said Mr. Strahorn. "The efforts those people hnvot put forth are almost tragic in many respects. They have put their heart and soul Into the cam paign, which means bo much to them." No Complications Kipectcd. When Portland has done its part toward tho development of Oregon's great back country by railway trans portation, Mr. Strahorn proposes to start at once building southward from Bend to meet the construction that will be moving northward from Klamath Falls. Much of this work can be finished this year, possibly si lof It. If conditions are favorable. LANDLESS MAY USE LOAN ACT TO BECOME OWNERS OF FARM TRACTS lly Frank R. Wilxon, Of llu -rloial Farm Ixian Bureau. (Written for the United Traill.) WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 19. Tho (iii'Htlnn Iiiih been frciiueiitly uuked, "How 'can u reiit.ir who has mil aaved to per cent of the pur clinno prico of laud inuku use of thu Federal I'll nil Loan act to get land of his own?" Tho anawer Is, by menna of n first mortgage given under tho Fnrm Loan net for 60 per cent of tho purchniie price provided this does not exceed 50 per cent of the appraised value and a second mortgage given to the former owner of tho land or to n bank or private monoy lender, for tho bnlnnco. It muni bo borno In mind that tho amount which can bo borrowed tin dor the Farm Loan net 1b limited to 50 per cent of thu npprnlBod value of tho land, and this is written on the iiHHiiinpUon that tho tonant will not pay more for his land than It It actually worth, or, In othor words, Its nppraland value as contemplated under tho Farm Loan act, To furnish a concrote example: Suppose that John Smith, a rontor, wants to buy 100 aores of land, GROWTH OF CITY SEEN YEARS AGO INDUSTRIAL ADVANCE SHOWN ON OLD MAP. Mills Wire Drawn by K. P. Mlntnr and AhocIuUk, Almost exactly at I'roient Location Other fredlctlous Come True. How the present prosperity of of (lend, and its Industrial development was foreseen seven years ago, is graphically shown In a contour map which tiangs In the office of the Homeseekcrs' Land' Company, and which was drawn, based on the ideas of It. P. Minter, and associates. Probably the most remarkable In stance of realization of the predic tion of seven years ago, is in the location of the sawmills on the river. These were shown on the map, and the exact location of the present plants varies only 100 feet from the site forecasted for them. The flour mill Is almost at the ex uct point predicted by the makers of the map, the surveys for the Stra horn railroads, the Tumalo ditch, the Squaw Creek ditch, and the Pilot Butte canal, now known as the North canal, all go to back the Judgment of the makers of the map. Common Krnae Hani. Mr. Minter fails to see anything unusual about it. "It was Just a case of using common sense," he de clared this morning. "The map was based on tho natural conditions of the country, and when the different industries came in here, they used the most advantageous situations. A part of the predictions made have come true, and others, such as the Strahorn roads, seem likely to be fulfilled in tho near future. "Some of the railroad locations shown on the man have not become realities, such as the line connecting Hend and Prlnevllle. But these were considered not as probabilities, but as posHiliilitles, by the makers of the map." SAYS WILSON'S LIFE CONSPIRED AGAINST (By United Proa toTht Dally Bulletin) SAN FRANCISCO. Jun. 19.

SLAVS CAPTURE MANY iUO.OOO German Holtlirrs and 8T00 Officers Taken In Year. (By United rna to Th. Dally Bulletin) PETROGRAD, Jan. 19. The ser vice Journal declared today that the Russian troops captured 420,000 German soldiers , and 8700 officers during the year 1916. In addition to this, the capturing of 600 cannon, 1800 machine guns, and 400 trench mortars and mine throwers, was detailed. valued nt $50 nn acre. The total purchase price would be $5000, but John Smith has not tho money to buy it. . Under the Farm Loan act, Smith would be entitled to borrow $2500 of the appraised value, If this appraised value should be the same as the purchase price. This would leave $2500 to be handled by a second mortgage. The amount borrowed under the Farm Loan act would be paid to tho original owner of the land and a second mortgugo execut ed for the difference, The original owner would thus got n satisfactory payment down, and if ho had confldonce in the purchasor he would probably be willing to ac cept a second mortgage for tho bal ance, divided Into ton annual pay- nieiUH. Here Is the way it would figure out: Tho first mortgage of $2500 given under the Fnrm Loan net would draw lot us any five and ono-hnlf por cent Interest and would be paid off on tho Installment plan through a per iod of 40 years, by making annual payments of $155.96.
