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. It
is this sum which Portland and
4 Bend business men will be
asked to provide.

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."

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

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.

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

retaries of state, bankers, the minis
ter of finance of British Columbia,

southern and eastern Oregon.
New Oregon directors elected at
the Tacoma meeting woro Charles
Hall of Marshfleld, president of the

dren will continue to bo transported
by boat until the very cold weather
and Ice in-Lake Ewauna makes the
transportation slow and uncomfort
able, when probably some other
method of travel will be provided.
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. ' '
