'I he following Is taken from the Oic

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

Mind Ilend. It will comprise some
foil) -one miles and tap the Klamath

entiicly upon whether or not Klamath

Mr. Strahorn returned yesterday af-

Mr. Strahorn was not particularly in

And so, when work starts on the
