(Klamath Falls Herald.) After holding a final meeting yes terday afternoon with tho three com- miaous appointed to secure rights of way and $::00,000 for tho Central Oregon railroad, Hohert K. Strahorn left this imiinlng for I'orlland. lie Mill roturu any time he Is culled by the committees Air. Strahorn has shown the lino the proposed io,id will follow, and Juts stated what he experts of Klam nth Falls. Thoro Is nothing inoro for Ji I in to do until this community acts. .Mr. Strnhorji stated yesterday af turuoou that his chief engineer, II. X llogue, will remain hero three or four more days to complete final sur veys and prepare maps showing the lino the road Is to follow t ! Again, we mint build up our merchant mailne. It will uot aid to put the government Into competition with private own ers. That. It nociiii to me, I a counsel of folly. A surer way of destroying the promise of our foreign trade could hardly be de vised. It has well been nsked. "Docs tho government Intend to opcrato nt a profit or nt n loss? We need the encouragement and protection of government for our shipping industry, but It cannot afford to have the government ns a competitor. From Mr. Ilugbrs' Speech of Acceptance.

This will he but tho beginning of an era of activity nttd prosperity for this 'section. Ilenil has voted successful ly on the bond Ihhiio and Is taking all llin necHsary step to clear the track for the work to begin there and all tho other plarr-s Interested uru falling Into line just as rapidly as pOMSllllo. Hark! we can almost hear the shrill, but to us musical, whistle of tho first train pulling Into tho sta tion. It Is coming, and don't ou forget It. Then, then) Is the Irrigation pro ject. That, too, Is going to iihiIio itipld strldeii from now on. Kvnry body that Is i milly progressive mid liitiiriwtcd In that enterprise, strong ly favors It. We slurorely hope that tho signing of the petition now ready will bo a unanimous affair full 100 pur rent.

In now be assured of the success of tbid project Is beyond any iiiestIon That Its effect on the business Interests of Portland mid the I'nelllc Northwost would bo magical la the way of In spiration fur thu Investment of out side capital and thu settling up of our great Interior Is equally true. "Among tho development!) which I particularly noted on the trip are enlargement of thu lumber 111IIU at Head so that now they have an out put of '.Ti carloads of lumber dally. Tho Bhovlln-lllxou mill enlargements now In progress will make this one of thu biggest and best In the lum ber muniifuctiirlng business. "(iraln produced around llend, particularly In the Powell llutte sec tion, Is very much larger than ever before. In lliirnev Valley, tributary to Ilitrns, more bind Is being put un der cultivation than during any sea son for years. This lit largely becaiiKe of tho completion of the Oregon Short Line to Cruno Creek, on Ihe east sldo of Harney Valley. Soda Shipments Promised. "The Alkali Lake project Just re ferred to has nearly 1,000,000 tons of crystalled soda, lis per cent pure, awaiting shipment. This product Is now being shipped out by auto trucks to iLakuvlew and California and by llend to Portland, thus pteparlng tho way for a larger market to follow our railway development, when It can be shipped out at one third the present cost. "Lakovlew's great Irrigation pro ject covering 90,000 acres In tho Cooso Lake valley, has been complet ed, so far as Its reservoir and main canals are concerned. Sivoral lat erals aro now being built and now land' under them Is being put Into crop this year. "Paisley, Silver I.uko nud Fort llock nil allow healthy advancement In thu niiiouuts of laud cultivated, as woll as lu other respects. 10,(10(1 Aires uie Drained. "Klamath county, however, shows the most remarkable development of all. Ten thousand acres of Klamath county lands have been drained this year, besides 11,000 acres of Tubs Lake land reclaimed by evaporation due to diversion of the waters that hitherto emptied Into that lake. It Is a very Interesting project and em braces 90,000 acres of wonderfully fertile land covered by water only a few feet deep hitherto discharged by Lost Hlver, which has been divert cd Into Klanlath Hlver, and the nat ural evaporation of the lake Is thus adding 3000 to 5000 acres each year to the country's nrnhle area. "Another project on the Klamath marsh has reclaimed 8000 acres of equally rich land, and small projects are active as well. The Government is also at work on the first unit of Its Irrigation plant for Sprague Itlver valley, which will cover 22,000 acres out of 11 possible G0.O00. declaimed Land Ih Tributary. "Those all lie directly nlong or tributary to our proposed railway system. Klamath county mills this year are producing 1000 carloads of lumber, while the hay lands and ranges ate expected to duplicate Inst year's shipment of 900 cars of fat stock. In addition, 300 cars of cat tle were driven to points outside the county last year. "In 1909 there were two threshing outllts In Klamath county. This year there nre 40 nt work and im portant new laud areas are being placed In condition for their first seeding next year. The business men of Klamath Falls tell me that In 1911 $3,r.00,000 worth of merchan (1110 was Imported Into that city mid lu 19K) tills llgure reached $ 1 (lOO -000.
