R. R. 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.

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 '
