Strahorn Tells Portland of Railroad Prospects 'I he following Is taken from the Oic son Journal or Sunday: J Wiih sitrxcys Dl per cent completed, work on tho actual construction of tho' Oiegon, California & Eastern railway probably will begin et this fall. The llrst work Is to start at Klamath Falls on the north and south line to Mind Ilend. It will comprise some foil) -one miles and tap the Klamath Indian leservution and the Spraguo Uler Valley, which even now are in a high slate of cultivation. Hut this construction work depends entiicly upon whether or not Klamath Falls and Its people fulfill promises to llobcit K. Strahoin, piojectorund pres ident of the pioneering railroad which he hopes to see, built across Central Oregon to connect up flvo railroad lines that now stop at the very edge of the Interniouiilaiu empire. Mr. Strahorn returned yesterday af- Icrnoon rrom a six weeks' automobile tilp through Central Oregon, Northern Newuln and California and the Rogue and Willamette valles, He was ac companied all the way by Mrs. Stra- horn, the couple finishing an even 2.-I00 the rovte from Bend to Klamath Falls, 1'illes by the gasoline route. So 'and It is practically completed for the pleased wore they with tho pleasure route between Klamath Falls and pint of tho Journey that they expect to I,akeiew, save for a pot tlon traversing go to their honm In Spoknne by thojgeveral townships of hilly land.

Hcfoie ho left Klamath Falls he had the satisfaction or seeing petition' eis stnrt out to gather signatures to legalize n special election that would decide whether or not a 1300,000 bond Issue' should bo floated to offer the rail road projector aid for tbe line. Mr. Strahorn was not particularly in sistent that tbe flist construction work should be on tbo Klamath Falls end of tbe system. But so thoroughly have) the people there been rouged to tbe (jon of lands by drainage In the Klani possibilities and benefits of tbe project, I I nnri an pni-nr have they manifested In '- themselves that Mr. Strahorn ald they probably will see the first dirt fly. Hut developments in the situation around Bend are hardly less encourag- ing, according to the road builder's re port. He said the people or Crook coun ty have fairly outdono themselves, have secured right or way Tor nearly fifty miles to Millican, have donated terminal property and made other lib eral proffet. And so, when work starts on the line, the Bend portion will not be far behind the Klamath Falls part. But as Tor the rorty-one miles that Is con templated as the immediate construe Hun out or Klamath Falls, Mr. Stra horn said the region to bo developed is already rich, and would be n money maker ror the railroad almost from the start. Out of a maze or some 2,500 miles or preliminary lines, the surveys for the miles or actual line are now complete nave ror some twenty-five miles. The line Is fixed for the route between Bend and the junction with the Oregon Eastern at Crane; the lino is fixed toi to cost and gradients and the myiiad factors that enter Into construction, bo that the grading may follow within a few days or weeks uHer the word "go" 1b given. The lower end or the line rrom Klam ath Indian reservation north or the Sprague River is already under cultiva tion. The Sprague Valley is or rich soil, now yielding good crops. In be tween, for nearly forty miles, are vir gin forests of magnificent timber Mr. Strahorn reported that reclama (Continued on Page 4) GERMANY EXPECTS WAR FROM GREECE TO REGISTER FOR SCHOOL MONDAY HIGH SCHOOL -STUDENTS WILL HAVE NO STUDIES FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL EXCEPT RIGISTRA HON AND ARRANGING COURSES .11 1 . .!.. . .. j .,- Klamath eountv hleh Kehnol rtnrlnu tlio 'coming fecbool year are requested to ' Copenhagen says that Germany be report for rcKistration at the h!ch ' llecs a declaration of war by Greece btl.ool building Monday.
