The council upheld his deci-ion. Contract for construction of the first section of the Eugone-Klamath Kalis line of the Southern Pacific railroad, sometimes referred to as the Natron cut-off, was awarded Mon day to John Hampshire, of Grants Pass, Or. The first unit, the one awarded, consists of 31 miles and extends from Kirk to Crescent. It is the intention of Contractor Hampshire to begin the construction work immediately, and judging from Hampshire's record, that means just ;is soon as he can get equipment on the ground, as he is a fast worker. Southern Pacific officials settled ti e Kirk-Crescent contract late Mon day and the officials immediately ad vised Klamath Falls of the action. The compensation for the contract was not announced. In making the award, the long-dreamed-of and much-delayed pro posed line between Eugene and Klamath Kails begins to take material form. For years there has been talk of such a lino. The Southern Pacific long ago set aside some $15,000,000 to build, but one interference after another caused delay. The recent de cision with respect to the Central I'acifie under the ruling of the Inter state Commerce commission, however, has cleared the way for the Southern Pacific to act. Six months ago, when the Central Pacific matter was still in doubt, it was believed that if a favorable ruling was handed down the Kugene-Klamath Falls line could not well start inside of a few years. K vents have moved quickly, however, and culminated in awarding the first contract. When completed, the Eugene Klamath Kails lino will be used, pre sumably, by the Shasta and other fast trains, as the heavy grades of the Siskiyous will be avoided. John Hampshire is a well-known contractor. He has built some of the most difficult grading Jobs in the Oregon state highway system and now has several road jobs under way.

Congressional action to aid the farmers does not seem expedient, President Coolidge declared in a letter to Senator Good ing, republican, Idaho, made public Saturday. Senator Gooding, a member of the senate agricultural bloc, had tele graphed the president urging him to call an extra session of congress to aid the farmers, and to consider the coal situation. Concerning the latter, the president took occasion to point out that congress had already created the United States coal commission to deal with the fuel question, but his answer on this phase of the telegram was indefinite and not final. The president's letter to Senator Gooding, dated August 14, follows: "Your telegram relative to the agri cultural and coal situations has been received. The congress has already had before it the coal problem and has authorized the investigation and report of the commission, which has been and now is, actively engaged in this work and in mediation between the disagreeing elements in the an thracite fields. "As you know, the congress has been engaged during the past two years, often times in accordance with your own suggestion, in the passage of legislation for the relief of agri culture. It was one of the first acts of President Harding and one of his last thoughts. I share with you a great solicitude for this important in terest and a great sympathy for any part of it which may be, temporarily I trust, in any distress. It is my earnest desire to afford every possible relief and listen to every possible suggestion. The most experienced legislators with whom I have consult ed have not yet been able to offer any plan for legislative action which seems to be practicable. "Our department of agriculture is digesting every plan that is offered for relief in the hope that some meth od of procedure may be found which would afford a helpful remedy. I can assure you that no effort is being spared in this direction, but up to the present time congressional action has not seemed expedient." Discussion of the agricultural situ ation was taken up Saturday by Pres ident Coolidge and members of the farm loan board at the White House, when the president was informed that the law by which the board was cre ated is operating satisfactorily. Prog ress was reported to the president regarding the establishment of the 2 new- intermediate credit banks set up throughout the country. An op timistic outlook was given the presi dent by the board members, who told him there would be no difficulty in providing adequate credits for the marketing of crops by use of the banks. Salary Will Be Given. Washington, D. C. Mrs. I", rence Kling Harding, according to immem orial custom, will receive the salary that would have gone to President Harding had he lived for the remain der of his salary year, which, includ ing back salary which Mr. Harding had not drawn, will amount to more than $65,000. In addition Mrs. Hard ing may receive from congress" a $5000 annuity and the franking prir ileges for life. & SCHOOL DAljS Copyrlgfii Glider Record Broken. Berlin. -The world's glider record, hitherto held by Prance, was captured Saturday afternoon by Herr Martens, Otiail pioneer glider and aviator, when he floated 12 kilometers in the Rhine gliding contest.

Chariton, la. A westbound mail train on the Chicago. Burlington A Quincy railroad plunged into the ditch at Russell, near here, early Saturday when one of the trucks of the coal tender was derailed and tore up a section of track.

Uncommon Sense JOHN BLAKE WATCH YOUE STEP A mbition is necessary to success. Put unless your particular ambi tion Is attainable, It will only be a trouble to you. A boy who Is stone deaf may as pire to be a great violinist, but he never will be. A youth with no eye for perspective or sense of the beautiful may toil his life away trying to paint, and produce only worthless daubs. The mountain climber who wants to get to the top of a peak does well to select a mountain that can be climbed. He may discover, after he is well up one height, that no further progress is possible. It will be slow, wearisome work de scending and beginning the slow, la borious ascent of another mountain. But unless he Is willing to do that he will never be a success us a mountain climber. Few men get the right start In life at the beginning. Most of us dis cover at some time or other that the way we are traveling Is the wrong way, and that it will lead us to no worth while destination. The thought of going back and be ginning nil over again is staggering. But there is no other w ay, if we mean to succeed. Be us careful as you can In picking your career In the beginning. With your own Judgment and knowledge of yourself, and with all the advice you can get. choose a vocation that you are tit ted for. But, if It so happens that you have chosen wrong, don't be afraid to de scend that particular mountain and start up another that has a clear trail to the top. It will be hard work much harder than starting right in the first place. But it must be done. And do not count the effort that ap pears to have been thrown away as wasted. The work that you put into the first vocation, while It may not directly contribute to later success, w ill have sharpened your faculties and trained your niinil And because you have done it, and because It has taught you how to work, the tasks that must be done to bring you to success will be far easier than they would have been if you had never tried at all. by John BUk.)

If one has never experimented with the common foods there Is much about surprisingly good food yet to learn. Have you ever fried turnips? Boil them until tender as usual and slice. When cool dip in egg. then In suited cracker crumbs and fry in drippings or butter. Pried apples are delicious. If the young green ones are used they need not be peeled. Slice, peeling and all, und fry in hot fat. When barely done sweeten with sugar and brown a little. Serve with pork roast or chops. A combination well liked by onion lovers is a half-dozen sliced onions cooked In a little water until nearly tender, then the upples nnd fat added to finish cooking, adding enough sugar to make them palatable, as well as a seasoning of salt. Tomatoes and Macaroni With Fried Onions. Peel, slice and rry six small onions In two tablespoonfuls of butter; when done add a tablespoonful of Hour and brown. Add a can of tomutoes or the equivalent of fresh sliced tomatoes, salt, pepper and a cupful of cooked tomatoes. Boil until smooth. Serve w ith grated cheese on top. Escalloped Cabbage, Shred and boll cabbage us for hot sluw. Prepare a white sauce. Butter a casserole and put in a layer of white sauce, sprinkle with buttered scrumhs and cheese; repent, finishing the top with buttered crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and bake twenty min utes In a moderate oven. The white sauce If prepared with thin cream will n ake a dish most nutritious as well as Fruit Salad In Apple Cups. Take round apples of any good color green, red or yellow. Cut o.T the top or the stem and as desired scoop out the apple and cut Into fine bits, add pineapple, grapefruit and n few maraschino cherries, with a dash of lemon juice; add a mild salad dress lng and fill the shells. Set on apple leaves, or doilies If the leavos are not obtainable. Electric Contracting Eat and Drink AT THE NEW FRENCH CAFE X E. J. McKNEELY, Prop.
