men and children.
While divers were bonding every
effort to penotrnto the hulk of tho
steamer, thla fact was established
through the testimony of Robert
Moore, a survivor, who appeared as a
wltuets In tho Inquest held by Cor
oner Hoffman.
Moore's testimony was a gruesome
story of tho scenes of terror aboard
the Kastland when It began to list
and then plunged Ita 2, COO passen
gers Into the Chicago River or trap-
lied them below decks In a watery
gravo.
Moore declarod that tho ball room
was so packod with women and chil
dren that ho could not make his way
through this part of tho atcamor.
Then came tho sickening list, the
rush of water and death.
Moore said he went aboard tho
Gsstlsnd at 7 o'clock, Ten minutes
later be noticed tho atcamor was Hat
ing. Rut he declared tho list was not
due to the excursionists crowding to
one sldo of the boat, becauso thoy
were packed aboard so tight they
were necessarily evoniy nisineuiea
about the ship.
I went to the ball room," said
Moore. 'There I noticed that women
and children were so packed In that I
could not penetrate tho crowd. Then
the klsstlsnd capslsed."
Mooro recounted tho torrlblo scenes
that followed; of terror strlckon
mothers being torn from their chil
dren, the awful crush In the packed
ball room In tho mad fight for life,
and the rush of water Into the Bast
land aa It turned on Its aide and went
to the bottom.
OUclala believe that there aro still
400 bodies In the hulk of the East
land, and It was Moore's opinion that
they are mostly those of women and
children who were Jammed Into the
ball roam when the steamer made Ita
plunge,
While this and other Investigations
were being made In Chicago and the
search for bodies continual, Cicero

KLAMATH NEEDS
RAILROAD BADLY
SO RELIEVES CITY DEVEIXP
MEXT Ill'REAU MAX, WHO IS
SURPRISED THAT RAILROADS
HAVE NOT "DISCOVERED" CITY
In an Interview with Henry T.
Hoag oNtho City Development Bu
reau, Mr. Hoag expresses his surprise
at the development which he sees In
nnd about the city, when he realizes
the Inadequate railroad service given
Klamath Falls.
It surprises him that some other
railroad company has not "discov
ered" Klamath county and built an
opposition line, the need of which Is
apparent, or tbe completion of tbe
line which practically em's here. With
but one train a day, and) that arriv
ing some time during tbe night, It
can hardly be expected that this city,
even though the citizens are pro
gressive, can grow yery rapidly, as It
should.
Mr, Hoag says he has Been very few
cities with opportunities equal to
Klamath Falls for rapid growth and
development. Tho great need is bet
tor transportation facilities. He be
llevoa that the Commercial Club Is
going to be the power and Influence
which will accomplish the results de
sired. All the club needs Is the united
support and financial asslstanco of
tho citizens, and overy tax payer and
real estate owner should Join the club,
thereby discharging their duty, be
sides having the satisfaction of hav
ing a part In a cause which Is for the
good of the whole people of Klamath,

I'anl Johiuion Does Great Work.
Continue Tommoirow by the Com
mlttecK. The membership committees of the
Commercial Club did better work to
day than yesterday in securing signa
tures to the membership application
blanks, securing a much larger num
ber of individual signatures, although
not quite so large a number of mem
berships, because of there having
been more plural memberships yes
torday. The total for today's canvass
to noon, -with one committee yet to
report, was 69 memberships, making
a total of 142 memberships. It Is
evident tbat tbe maTk of 200 mem
bers will be reached, and more.
The committees are even more en
thusiastic than at the close ef the
first day's work, and are thinking of
advancing the limit beyond 200. For- -
the present, however, this remains
the goal, with an- understanding that
the field Is to be covered, 'and more
secured, If possible. u
Special mention should be made of
the work of Paul Johnson, who wis ?
on a special committee, -and. also6
wor&edTthYojathWt-theaVyeMirftiy!:n
and today. To bis credit individual
ly and his work on and for the speA
clal committee is to be credited aboni
half tbe total number of memberships
reported to noon today. He is en
thusiastic In support of the plans for
the extension 6f the work of the Com
mercial Club, and for the dedatte
manner In which the work to be done
as outlined. He is therefore giving
his entire time during the Intensive
campaign for memberships, and is
happy in having the results to report
to the reorganization committee.
Tho work continues tomorrow, as1
outlined In the original plan for the
campaign, and the committeemen are
all expected to report for duty at 9:4G
tomorrow morning, as heretofore.
There was the same number4 of
committeemen out today as yesterday.
and their experience of the first day
enabled them to" do more effective.
work on the second lap of the cam
paign. Good work
is expected' of
them tomorrow, also.
