Dtifllness and financial irien of Portland, through tho Cham ber of Commorce, will attempt to fjnanco a section of the Stra horn railroad from Bend to Klamath Falls.

J. Bale, D. T. Honeyman and T. H. Ed- wards. On the recent excursion, the business men listened to the 4 plea of Klamath Falls citizens for assistance in "building this 4 road so they may be in direct 4s railroad communication with with Portland. The excurslon 4 ists found that 90 per cent of the trade of the Klamath Falls 4 country Is going to California cities and the east, and that this section could not expect 4 more until a railroad is pro- vided. It is planned to appoint a 4 committee to conduct the cam- palgn for, finances' for building the road. It is said that the the part of the road from Klam- ath Falls to Beryl has i been financed through the efforts of Robert B. Strahorn, promoter, but that It is necessary to raise $1,250,000 to complete the re- maining 75 miles to Bend.

Accompanied by Father Marshall ho went to Merrill and Ma lln, visited numerous sections of the city and adjacent points of industrial activity, and it .was a surprised and tired prelate that received a repre sentative of Tho Herald last oven lng. "I can readily understand now why there is so much talk about Klamath Falls," said Bishop Mc Grath. "I confess that I am greatly surprised with what I have seen and learned during my brlof stay here. Naturally, I discounted some of the things I heard about your city, for, much as I admiro a spirit of loyalty, cnthusiasn and publicity for any community, I generally find on ex amination that It Is frequently over done. The most surprising thing about Klamath Falls to me is that the reverse is true. I can see that you have every reason to advance tho claims made for this city, and I shall not be surprised if every ono of them is realized. Even to a stranger, tho great potential re sources of this section are in evi dence on every hand and their de velopment can have only one result the building of a great city here. My visit at this time is to get ac quainted with conditions in this part of the dioceso so that I can lend whatever assistance I can in aiding the growth of the Catholic church in this section." Bishop McQrath left by auto stage this morning for Bend, from which city he will proceed to Burns before returning to Baker City.

K Movement I'niscs Experimental ' Stage Benefit in Ceming: Harvest. SCHOOLS L RAVE TEACHERS Klamath county is fortunate in that its schools are now running with full corps of teaching forces. It is estimated that, there are 5,000 vacancies in schools throughout, the hopes of the experimenters. The advantage of irrigation, es pecially in the assurance of a crop,,. is uuing appreciated oy nil vBecuow,K. of the county. Of course the Ktem-42 ath valley, having the unlimited '. source of supply from the great t7- jper Klamath lake nd. Its-tributary streams and feeders, naturally was the first to be developed. The work of the Klamath project has constant ly been expanding and enlarging-, with the establishment of reservoirs ( and pumping units, such as the Flats. Grove Irrigation, district, Enterprise Irrigation district and Horsefly Irrl- gatlon district, all of which are now fairly well launched or being sub stantially developed and financed. The Swan Lake territory, how ever, having no seemingly available)' source of water, was nevertheless, not going to be denied the benefits and advantages of irrigation, and" j the ranch owners of that vicinity- some few months ago banded them,--selves together, purchased an outfit for deep drilling and began experi ments in their vicinity,- some of them hoping that they might strike arte sian water. The first well drilled for irrlga- .,. tion was on the C. Fred Collman. place, but' there they struck quick sand and did not go further than 100 fetf The bore is ten inches, and Mr. Collman believes that when the power is turned on he. will be-. able to pump & sufficient supply, toV irrigate at least 25 acres without, requiring any" storage reservoir. Another well, especially for ex perimental purposes, was drilled on. the Tom Patterson ranch in the' hope j of encountering an artesian supply. The bore was 12 inches, and was, continued' to a depth of 300' feet or more, which was all cased. Al-; " though the water raised very weHsgaj-; indeed in the well, it did not qulteC come up sufficiently to fulfill thej.:,-- f i MEN BOOST' FOR NORTHWEST Although unable to be present at the recent meeting of the Northwest Tourist association at Tacoma, Cap tain J. W. Siemens, president of the First State & Savings bank, was re elected a director of the association, as he Is Informed In a letter from tho president. Publicity tor tho good roads movement and the natural attrac tions of the northwest, Is the aim of tho assoclaton, which represents Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, having an annual appro priation of 50,000 from each of the states and $25,000 from tho Cana dian province. .The association maintains a lec turer, Frank Branch Hiley, a speak er of national reputation, to spread the story of its purposes through the east, in addition to distributing written publicity. Governor Ben W. Olcott Is among tho nine Oregon representatives of 1 this season of the year. country, but last week the several places in Klamath "county that were open were arranged for and this week the force was complete throughout the entire county. ' Among the recent -acquisitions are: Miss Abbey Curran, who comes from Colorado to teach English, history and other branches In theM Merrill high school. Miss Curran is especially well qualified for the position, both by technical and spe cial training and her long experi ence in teaching these subjects., At Kowum Kam, Miss Ruth Mil ler, a local girl and ay local high school graduate, has taken the posi tion left vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, who has compelled to give. up this work on account of ill health. This school is located 12 miles above Chiloquin, and is on the Klamath reservation. Tho remaining vacancy at Upper Poe Valley is now supplied by Miss Maud Miller. District No. 31, in which is lo cated the Summers school, took' up the question of providing school fa cilities for the children of the em ployes of the Chelsea Box & Lumber company. The voto was In favor of providing transportation so that these children may attend the Riv erside school, instead of erecting a building near the Chelsea factory at The chll- London has more than 1000 churches and other places of worship. the association, which includes sec retaries of state, bankers, the minis ter of finance of British Columbia, among its personnel.

The officers of the district believe that probably by next fall entirely different arrangements will be made but were not yet prepared to state definitely whether or not they would be favorablo toward the partition ing of the district and the erection of a school building noar the 'Chel sea factory. On the L. B. Applegate place the A well drilled Is also a 10-inch bore., sunk to a depth of 295 feet, and the' water raises to within 14 feet of tae: surface. .' . John Fischer has a similar well 110 feet deep, and the well of B. H.l, V.anslckle raises to within about 15 .? feet of the surface- from its depth.; of 240 feet. Tho greatest depth to which any of the wells in that vicinity have been sunk is one the Godfrey Neu bert place, his well being 335 feet deep, also a 10-lnch bore. Drilling Is now in progress on the Dan Llslcey place, where they have reached a' depth of 240 feet, arid If the present plans are .carried out the drilling will continue indefinitely or until the artesian "strike" Is made. Tho school board of the district also joined in the movement and had a well drilled which is giving very great satisfaction. - Now, after all this work and ex perimentation and expense, the farm ers and ranches are waiting for the power company, which has agreed to run its power line into that sec tion just as soon as five deep wells were ready to supply the Irrigation water. Aside from the benefits hoped to be gained by the irrigation' inaugu rated, these ranchers? have demon strated the value of co-operation. They purchased the drilling outfit together, secured special rates for ( the work, and an agreement from -the company to extend the power line to their territory, and are ex--- pectlng that by the time the next harvest is gathered they will, by their increased crop yields, begin to gather the fruits of their efforts, co-operation, foresight and Invest ments.
