But he went ahead and took the smaller picture from the same general location.

Railroad Head Sees Good Times LOS ANGELES. Feb. 28 li There's to be four or five years of Rood times, says R. B. White, pres ident of the Bnltlmore and Ohio railroad. While on a visit here he told reporters: "We have had a drop In the com modity and stock markets and we may have another. But I see noth ing ahead but four or five years of good prosperous business. We have never had hard times when there vas a lot of construction going on. The big depression between the two wars was preceded by stack construction." New BridgeMajorS Change In Keno From Early Days Keno, o Klamath county town which was named for a bird dog, is the subject ol to day's old-time picture. The view, from the Baldwin collection, was probably made around 1910, and shows the old wooden bridge which crossed the river at that point in those days. Below is a pic ture taken this weok of Keno, which shows the town has not grown much, if any, but that it lias a handsome concrete stale highway bridyo instead of the shaky structure of ear lier times. According to McArlhur's "Oregon Geographic Nomes," Keno was first callod Klamath River. Postal authorities ob jected. McArthur says their complaint was that it might be confused with Klamath Falls, but this scorns unlikely because Keno was called Keno as far back as 1887, whereas Klamath Falls was not adopted as the namo for the county scat until the 'nineties. Next, according lo Mc Arthur, Captain 0. C. Apple gate, Klamath pioneer, sug gested the name of Plevna. This was accepted, and is still the name of a jiistice court district. But the postal author ities moved Plevna post office to another location and local residents, incensed, set up on other post office and callod it Keno. The nomo wos that of Captain D. J. Fcrree's dog, which had been named ofter a popular card game of those days. It will be seen from the two pictures that ot Icost two of Keno's present-day build ings, the store and tho build- report from the radio range sta- ing ocross from it Of left, were linn in the Queen Charlotte Islands (here when the eorly-doy pic of an earth tremor at I'M p. m. ture was token. The History of Centrol Ore gon, published in t05, car ries the following notation on Keno: "This is o small-sued town 12 miles southwest of the county scot, on Klamath river. Besides the business houses necessary for the trade of that section, it is the shipping point for the products of two iPSTi yesterday.
