(Grcgoulan.) Delays at Klamath Falls, Bend, Lakevt'ew and other communities In ' discharging details coincidental with tha construction of the Central Ore gon Railway project have deferred for several weeks the Inauguration of the campaign in Portland tor aid ing the capitalization of the under taking. ; Robert B. Strahorn, at the head of the project, Is now in California, and . until his return to Portland the Port land railway committee will not start work. Committee meetings have ; been held, however, and details of the progress thus far made have been checked up. With every for vard step the committee is more san guine of ultimate success and con- . fident of the benefits that will accrue to Oregon as a whole and Portland in particular from the construction of the railway: 'Sir. Strahorn has advised Ills Portland office and the committee members that it would not be con sistent to 8 tart the Portland cam paign asking tar financial aid until the various communities, which had already assumed certain responsi bilities, had discharged them. That these responsibilities will be met sat isfactorily in a short time is almost certain, because of the popular in terest in getting a railroad through Central Oregon, but until that as surance is patent, Mr. Strahorn pre fers to hold off the Portland cam paign.. Program to Be Carried Out. "It has been understood all along that the surveys, rights of way, ter ; minals and franchises and practical- ly all other assistance asked for in the Central Oregon field would be arranged before Portland would be asked for its contribution," Mr. Stra horn advised the local office. - Mr. Strahorn and the other mem bers of the committee hope and be lieve these matters wil) be arranged in the early future and the latest ad vise from -the respective communi ties referred to so indicate. There is Ho lack of appreciation of the work being done by a few public-spirited Ipitizens in every community affect ed. This is especially true of Klam- ; nth Falls,' where great sacrifices have been made and efforts devoted to Insuring the beginning of, construc tion at that end this spring. . : The organization, surveys, esti- " Tnates'and many other details of Mr. . Strahorn'B wqrk are complete, ready for construction, and a large, amount of valuable property acquired. Ho ' is still hopeful of the early financing 6f the project after Oregon interests do their full part, but as he expresses it, bis hands are now tied until those who are to-be the chief beneficiaries of the work put him in possession of the remainder of the property and other assets and rights upon which to build. - He mentions another serious draw back constantly arising and which it ' seems impossible to eliminate. . This is the repeated reports of his align ment with some one of the five rail- , 'ways whose stub ends his proposed Oregon, California & Eastern Rail road is to connect. First it is the Union Pacific, then the Hill lines, then the Western Pacific, and so on. "A reliance upon this sort of thing Is fatal," says Mr. Strahorn. "We will never . tret anywhere with the project so long as such mistaken no tions are entertained by any consid erable number who should have their tcoats off and be straining every We Offer You The experience of nearly 8 years successful "'" banking, under the same management. . $700,000.00 in resources.

We now have well organized and a businesslike stnrt made on a splendid railway project promising the greatest benefits to Oregon and neighboring states of any since the completion of the trans continental lines.

From the ben's viewpoint, water is worth just as much as feed, for she can't make an egg with either one alone. Therefore the man who pro vides high priced feed, but neglects the water supply, is making a big mistake and will have to be content with a lim ited egg yield. That's Different.

OREGON BRITISH RAIDS WAR'S FEATURE YAKIKTY OF MKTIIOD IX Hl'D DK.V ATTACKS DKMOKALIKIMI TO G HUMAN SOI.DIKIW IN THK TRKM'ilKS. By William Philip Nhmns, (United Preu Suit CerraewndenM WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD. Feb. 19. When the history of this wur comes to he writ ten the raids operated by the Brit ish on the positions opposite them are going to. occupy a chapter apart. And a curious chapter they will muka. Day and night those raids go on. Sometimes they are mere kidnap ping expeditions and somotlmes they assume the proportions of an attack Yesterday there wero raids across the snow. Today there wero raids in the rain. Tomorrow there hiny be raids In the brilliant sunlight. No two nro alike and theroby dependu much of their undisputed success. For under the constant menace of thorn tho Germans on the other sido of No Man's Land give evidence of a nervosity highly satisfactory to the English side of tho gruesome strip. Often the German front-lino trenches. are found desorted, the de fenders being concentrated in sec ond-line trenches and dugouts from which they are supposed to swarm, as the English cross the front Hurt and annlhilnto them. But, owing to the constant change of raiding tac tics, tho usual result is that the Ger mans are taken completely by sur prise, or are forced to remain in dug outs to keep out of tho rain of Brit ish shells, and tholr alternative is death at the bottom of a pit under tons of earth blown in upon them, or surrender as the emerge, one by one. The Canadians invented the raid as more or less of a winter sport. much as you would start a bowling association as a canoe club. Thev used to black their faces and wore black clothes to remain invisible In the dark, creep across the deadly strip between them and the Germans, snip the wires at a favorable point and then, without a sound, suddenly leap into the enemy's trench where they scattered terror among the tvo or three sentries on the Job. TJiolr sudden appearance, black clothes, black faces and white rolling eyes gave the wjiole proceeding a tinge of the supernatural, and for Just about two seconds nothing could have persuaded the Germans that the vis itors were not spirits from hell. And those two seconds were enough. A revolver at their temples translated English commands into German, and before an alarm could bo raised the Canadians were gone. With th-sm, of course, went their prisoners. This game was quite profitable. In this way regiments, divisions, corps and armies were spotted. The trick made an Instantaneous hit with the whole British expedition ary force and it was as quickly im proved upon. Now a raid 1b Just as much an institution as a battle. Its original aims have been enlarged, its technique improved and Its scope broadened until it Is the principal form of winter trench-fighting.

Again, there Is no barrage at all. Then, instead of u barrage, a laid follows a slow bombardment lasting a week or more, without further uilo. But as bomburdmcnta aro often turned on with no other purpose than destroying the lleriniin's de fenses, a bonihiinlment, however heavy, Is no Indication of a coming raid. Barrages of smoke nro some times used to protect the flunk of a party of raiders, but as the nil lers sometimes follow under tho smoke, or us smoke Is sometimes Bent across for other purposes than to covor, or protect a raid, a smoke-cloud can not give a raid away. The raiders are puxxlcd as to where to throw thuir own artillery flru. Sometimes at sunset, sometimes at dawn, sometimes at midnight or mid-day; through mud or over froz en ground; in rain or snow or fair weather, tho raids go on. Wide stretches of defenses, three or four lines deep, are raided and destroyed; then, while tho Germans are trying to repair the damage, n steady down pour of shells drops among the work ing parties with telling ofofct. Prisoners say they aro hnrd-drlven by their officers In an effort to off set the results of the raids. They declaro thnt they aro kopt on ton torhooks because they never know what is coming; whether a bombard ment Is working up to an attack on thorn and an attempt . to break through; whether there Is to bo a sudden raid; or whether the bom bardment is Just a plain hombnrd inont with nothing Immediately to follow. A British officer told the corres pondent that during tho first two weeks of January more German de serters have found their way Into tho British lines than during the whole of last winter. ' Ho said there are unmistakable evidences proving the spirit of tho German army Is lower than It 'has ever been since the outbreak of war. Ha attributes this to a number of causes, but among the principal ones Is tho raid. For a raid, so far as the Individual Gor man is concerned, Is qulto ns deadly as an offensive as big aa that on tho Somme. He can not be killed but once or taken prisoner but once, and tho raiders keep tho menace of death or capture over upon him.
