Northern Pacific Directors Join
With Great Northern and
Officially Order Invasion of
Southern Oregon Connect
With West Pacific.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 2. Official
action was taken yeHterday In New
York by the directors of the Northern
Pacific Railway company toward ex
tending the Oregon Trunk railway
from Bend to Klftmnth Palls and on to
a connection with the Western Pacific
in northern California according to
advices received by the Northern Pa
cific, tho Oregon Trunk and the Spo
kane. Portland and Seatllo railway
here late yesterday.
Already the Great Northern railway,
through Ralph liudd, president, has
declared Its Intention of Invading the
Klamath Falls region. Both the
nothern lines own the Spokano, Port
land nnd Hoattlc system, one of whiso
subsldaries Ih tho Oregon Trunk,
reaching from the Columbia river to
Bend. 150 miles.
News of the decision of the North
ern Pacific to join with its ally, tho
Great Northern In invading the Klam
ath Falls, region, was received through
a telegram late yesterday from Presi
dent Charles Connelly to A. D. Charl
ton, general pasaenger ugent. The
essage from New York was to the
effect that the directors by unanimous
vote had authoriozd the Oregon Trunk
to make application to the lnter-state
commerce commiwslson for a certifi
cate of public convenience nnd neces
sity to permit construction of tho now
line.
The Northern , Pacific directors
also ordered that Immediate definite
location . f the line, be made, the
message added. '
Connect at Crescent..
The .locations have been mnde for
the southerly extension of the ore -
gon Trunk from Bend. One Is to
connect with the Southern Pacific's
Eugene-Klnmath Falls cut-off nt
Crescent, which would trnverso tho
westerly border of the great pine
timber tracts In that region, the
other line would bo through the enst -
crly limits of this timber. It Is snld
that tho latter route Is favored by
the Northern Pnclflc-Oreat Northern
executives. Tho distance from Bend
to Klamath Fnlls is 147 miles by ono
location nnd lt0 via another sur
veyed route, but if the northern
lines are permitted to connect with
!h utl...rn Pacific', cut-off at
Crescent and Jointly use th, cut-off

Reinforcements Rushed.
FKZ, Morocco. May 2. (By the
Associated Press.) Moroccan tribes
men operating; under the orders of
Abd-ICl-Krlm, the rebel lendor, are
attacking tho French zonn over a front
of 60 miles. At some points they have
surrounded French posts whore small
detachments are defending themselves
in blockhouses.
The French military authorities
here are of the opinion that tho rebel
leader has a vast project in mind with
Fez as the principal oWectlve. The
direction of the attacks thus far made
by the tribes In their offensive indi
cates a plan for a converging move
ment upon this city. - .
There is no serious apprehension
for the Isolated posts, which are pro
vided with machine guns and three
Inch pieces. , '
With this equipment It Is felt the
garrisons should be able to keep the
tribesmen at a distance.
The French forces In the zone of
activity number about 12,000 men,
divided Into two columns each, com
manded by a colonel. Reinforcements
now on the way will bring the total
to 20,000.
