RUMORS KUCJKNE, Ore., Adg. 23. Rumor regarding the resumption of work by the Southern Pacific on the long abandoned Natron cutoff waa prev alent In Eugene after It wai re ported that William Hood, chief en gineer of the construction depart ment, was at Oakrldge, the western end of the cutoff. He has been there a week or more, according to advices from that country. The Journey Into the mountains was made with a crew of workmen on a hand car, and every attempt at secrecy Is said to have been made. For some,' time surveying crews' hae been at work' resetting grade stakes, aad It ts said that a similar crew has been working on the east sldo ot the Cascades. The Natron cutoff project Is one that If completed would open for development Immense areas In east ern Oregon, particularly Klamath county. The trade' from that sec tion would gravitate to Oregon and Portland Instead of going south In to California, say students ot the situation, and official word of a re newal of activity Is awaited eagerly. Note There has been a story In circulation for somo time to the effect that the Southern Pacific plans to eliminate the series of tunnels In cluded In the original survey, and electrify the road. WhlTe elimina tion ot tunnels wonld make a heavier grade, recent experiments have shown that electric locomotives will move an average freight train on a 5 per cent grade. Br dropping the the coat ot construction be cat greatly, aad It la pos sible that the surveying crews are now running the steeper grade levels. ROCKY MOUNTAIN LOOTED .

EXECUTIVE : LAUDS LEGION SAN DIEOO, Cil Aug. 23. Highest realization of the Ideals which the fathers of the republic fought to es tablish and sacrificed to maintain la being sought by the American Le gion, Governor William D. Stepheaa declared in an address here today at the legion's second annual state con ventlon. "Within tho short space of IU ex Istence, tho American Legion has be come not only the great university for Inculcation ot American Ideale but also an aggressive and mlHtaat forco for accomplishment and real ization of those Ideals here and everywhere throughout the world," Governor Stephens said.' The governor declared the Amer ican Legion can and Is exerting tre mendous Influence for maintenance ot law and order and for the eradi cation of abuses which Interfere with the course ot good government. The possibilities ot the organization for accomplishment of good are bouaeV 'Jess, he added. All patriotic Americans, whether eligible to membership In the ranks of the American Legion or not, but who hope that the Ideals ot Washing ton and Jefferson and Lincoln aad Roosevelf not only may be preserve and made the guide for thla aad all other nations as well, look confident ly to the American Legion to becem the mighty champion and noblest ex emplar ot those principles uatll nda time aa they may be accepted aad practiced by all the world. I think it needless for me to ear that I am with you heart and. soul la your hopes, your objects' and roar alms. It I had been a younger maa and had been privileged to qualify, aa you are qualified for admission te) 7our ranks, I certainly would at thla time have been a member ot the) American Legion. I feeUotrongl-' that It is no less the'dity "of 'every ex-service man to enroll himself la the American Legion than it was te perform manfully his part In the great conflict which has Just closed. SISKIYOU IUS ' FIDES CHECKED YREKA, Aug. 23. All the fires la Siskiyou county are reported under control, after a winning fight had been made against heavy odds la the Motfitt creek section.
