RAIL APPLICATION IS MADE
150 Miles to Be Built From Bend to
Klamath Falls.
Washington, D. C. Another step to
ward the construction of approximate
ly 150 miles of railroad in central
Oregon was taken Tuesday when ap
plication was filed by the Oregon
Trunk railway with the interstate
commerce commission for the requir
ed authorization.
A single line is to be constructed
from the present terminus of the Ore
gon Trunk railway at Bend to Skoo
kum, formerly known as Odell, on the
Southern Pacific railway's Eugene
EClamath Falls line. This line will
be G5 miles long. At Skookum the
road will branch off along one of two
possible routes to Klamath Fall. One
route would cross the Southern Pa
cific at Skookum and parallel the lat
ter line to a point north of upper
Klamath lake. Instead of taking the
course of the Southern Pacific to the
east of upper Klamath lake that line
would run along the west bank of
the lake, entering Klamath Falls from
a slightly northwestern direction.
The other branch from Skookum
would take a southeasterly direction
to the Sycan river and cross the
Sprague river at a point several miles
east of he town of Sprague Biver.
That route would continue south from
the Sprague river to Bonanza and
then would turn due west to Klamath
Falls, touching the town of Olene.
For a short distance in the vicinity
of Heatty, Or., and Sprague River the
eastern branch would parallel the pro
posed line of the Oregon-California &
Eastern railway, which has been pro
jected by R. E. Strahorn.
The length of the western branch
from Skookum to Klamath Falls
would be 82 miles and the eastern line
slightly more than 100 miles. When
completed the distance over the Ore
gon Trunk railway from Fallbridge,
Wash., whore It leaves the parent
road, the Spokane, Portland & Seattle,
to Klamah Falls over the route to the
west of upper Klamath lake would be
approximately 295 miles.
Grain Price Laid to Speculation.
Washington, D. C The recent col
lapse in grain prices after the ad
vance of last fall and winter, in the
opinion of (i. E. Marcy, chairman of
the board of managers of the Grain
Marketing company of Chicago, was
caused by the tremendous holdings of
speculators, and tho misleading of
the public us to the condition of the
world grain market.
Mr. Marcy, In a statement made
publie here Saturday, declared this
misleading information made the
American grain prices so much high
er than the world's prices during the
period preceding the collapse that for
the time being the American farmer
lost his market and at the same time
a much higher market was made for
the Australian and Argentine farm
ers. "If the law of supply and demand
had boon allowed unrestricted play,"
he said, "I believe the American
wheat would have sold on n strictly
domestic basis, which means the
world's price plus an import duty of
42 cents."
Mr. Mnrey expressed the opinion
that conditions warranted a high
price level for all grains this year,
and declared that had it not been for
an artificial technical condition de
veloped through speculative manipul
ation grains in this country would
have laid at higher levels than they
reached.

1919 and subsequent years.
Tho British debt settlement forms
the basis of discussion with the mut
ter of a possible moratorium or re
duced interest rate for the first years
of payment, the immediate question
at issue.

CAPITAL TO TEST
NEW TRAFFIC LAW
Revised Code Put in Effect at
Washington, D. C.
DANGER IS REDUCED
Limit Raised on Some Streets, While
Throuh Thoroughfares Are to
Be Designated.
Peru Ignores Time Limit.
Washington. D. C. - The two
months' period stipulated In Presi
dent Coolldge s arbltrul uward in the
Tacna-Arlca dispute for filing by
Chile and Peru of statements of ex
penses of their delegates to the boun
dary commission expired Monday
without receipt by the president of
the Peruvian estimate. Chile has
submitted an estimate of (30,000 for
J the expenses of its delegation.
Washington, D. C. Washington's
new code of traffic regulations, a
composite of the best methods adopt
ed by other cities throughout the
country, went into effect Sunday. The
new rules, which are built around the
idea of tho greatest speed possible
commensurate with the greatest safe
ty, are expected to serve as a model
for the rest of the country.
To facilitate the movement of traf
fic, the speed limit has been raised
from 18 to 22 miles an hour. Through
streets are to be designated and plain
ly marked on which greater speeds
will be permitted, running up as high
as 35 miles an hour on certain arter
ial thoroughfares leading to trunk
highways in the outlying sections.
No speed is specified for motorists
crossing intersections or rounding
curves, the rate being left to the judg
ment of the driver, depending upon
conditions of traffic. The rules do
not mean that a motorist may travel
at a 22-mile speed anywhere. This
may be cut down as low as 12 miles
an hour in the business section.' The
heedless driver is curbed by the fol
lowing general new law, which will
be enforced in the discretion o the
arresting officer and the judge:
No individual shall operate a mo
tor vehicle over any public highway
in the district:
"1 Recklessly.
"2 At a rate of speed greater than
Is reasonable and proper, having re
guard to the with of the highway, the
use thereof and tho traffi thereon.
"3 So as to endanger any property
or Individual.
"4 So as to damage unnecessarily
or unreasonably the public highway."
Pedestrians will have the right of
way at all intersections and vehicles
the right of way between intersec
tions. Left turns are forbidden at
some intersections and all turns at
oile rs. A semaphoro system is to be
installed calling for three traffic
movements. A red light will mean
stop, a green light will permit
through traffic to proceod and a yel
low light will permit vehicles to make
turns either right or left. No turn
lag traffic may move with the green
light and no through traffic with tho
yellow. Pedestrians may cross only
with the red light. In making left
turns all caj-s will pass to tho near
side of the traffic policeman or stand
instead of making n full sweep, so
there will be no interference between
northbound curs turning west and
southbuond cars turning east.
At intersections whore there are no
semaphores a pedestrian may gain
the right of way by simply holding
up his urm and his authority must be
obeyed the same as If a traffic of
ficers were stationed there. A plan is
also under advisement for having
hand semaphores to bo operated by
pedestrians waiting for streetcars.
By this means they can signal cars
to stop without leaving the sidewalk
until the Itreet OU slows to a Btop.
Automobiles ure now required to stop
only eight feet to the rear of a stand
ing streetcar instead of 15 feet.
in streets where there are street
cur loading piatforma, automobiles
may puss u streetcar, whether mov
ing or standing. Standards with clear
danger signals are to replace the ob
solete oil burning lanterns now used
on some of these plut forms.

ization to be known as the Inter

the age of thirty-six, in 1635. to make
his home in the new world. He settled
In Boston. His eldest son, William,
who was fourteen years old when
they enme to the new world, was one
of the first students nt Harvard and
graduated fourth in the class of 1642.
He was minister of the church in
Ipswich, Mass., wrote a valuable his

of Rev. Nathaniel Itogers, also a promi
