Intense Inter est Is being manifested by Baker people, who have awakened, to the tremendous possibilities offered by the eastern Oregon copper belt, fol lowing the new strike of high grade copper glance and native copper In the workings of tlio Mother Lode Copper company. Hundreds of locul people have called at the office of a local invest ment company, seeking information concerning the new discovery. The present site of the new discovery has been penetrated for more than eight feet. The copper found is of a high grado glance, boronite and native copper. Another factor which has served as an eye-opener to the local citi zens pertaining to the possibilities of the big copper belt, Is the fact that Spokane capital Is Interested in the strike, and plans to spend ap proximately S2, 000, 000 here. This statement was given out this after noon by a local mining official. Sunday a large delegation of lo cal citizens will visit the mine. Immediate development of the copper belt on an extensive scale is anticipated. Among visitors who will inspect the mine are a delega tion of mining men from Washing ton, who will arrive Here noxt wook with Dr. Wilniar Lindgren of the Boston institute of technology, who has been called hero to make an investigation. New Survey Starts Bv S. P. For Road TO SHIPPlNGTONIXo Malin AndTule Span Below Link River Dam Would Be Impracti cal In Opinon Of Man Called In By Co. Court The proposed bridge to span Link river at the island about 400 feet below the Upper Klamath lake dam, is not prac tical from an engineering standpoint, according to G. S. Paxson, field assistant to C. B. McCullough, bridge engineer of state highway department. " Paxson was called here yes terday by the Klamath county court to pass upon this project, and he spent yesterday with County Engineer Frank Z. Howard, making a careful ex amination of the various bridge sites in the Link river canyon. "This bridge would bo highly Im practical because of the adverse nl lignment necessitated In the high way connections at either end," the engineer pointed out. "The near ness of .the walls of the canyon to the river at this point would not give .the highway sufficient room to make the curve down tho river on the east side, or up the stream on the west. "The best site for a bridge. If It must be located in this vicinity, would be about 200 feet below the dam, where the canyon wideps out," PaxcoA and Howard also ex amined the site for a bridge at the narrows, a short distance above the Link river dam. Also thoy inves tigated the proposition of bringing the west side highway Btralght down the river on the same side as tho present road. .From Paxson's remarks, he ap peared to favor the bridging of the river, above the dam, which would necessitate the highway coming Into the city via Shippington, or tho building of the road down the can yon on the west side of the river Just below the present road. "The final choice will depend upon the costs of the two or three most prac tical routes,'; Paxson said. "En gineer Howard will no doubt deter mine that matter at once." Preamble To Petition For Permission To Invade Malin Country Announced By Strahorn; Nearing Completion of Nat ron Cut-Off Starts Action on Long Her alded and Needed Line. NOT I'TOIIAIXK OAKLAND, June 5. What hos pital attendants diagnosed as pto maine poisoning turned out to be a cose' of badly jumbled lunches af ter the noon-day activities of four junior high school girls had been traced. Each of the girls had con sumed two meat sandwiches, a ba nana, a chocolate nut sundea, cher ry flip candy bar and the con tents of a bottle of root beer. The Southern Pacific again took the offensive in the great battle for possession of the Klamath country last night, when Robert E. Strahorn, ' president of the Oregon, California & Eastern, announced before the merchants of Klamath Falls, at a banquet of the Merchants' bureau, that a new survey had started yesterday on the proposed Modoc Northern line, prep aratory to its possible construction, at least as far as Malin, the center of the great Tule lake region, 27 miles southeast of Klamath Fails. ENGINEERS START YESTERDAY : A fully equipped party of engineers, under the direction of E. S. Clark, old Harriman engineer, who conducted import; ant location ' and construction work for the Southern Pacific on the Willamette valley lines when they were being revised and electrified some ten years ago, commenced this task yes terday morning at a point on the original Modoc : Northern survey near Merrill, about twenty miles southeast of. Klam ath Fail..-' ' - - '. ' ' .' ". ' The territory which would be immediately affected by this construction consists of about 150,000 acres of the rich est farm land in the Klamath region.- The small portion of it already cropped has been producing as high as .one million bushels of grain per year, and very' large, yields of alfalfa and other products. Lying almost as level as a floor, and with ample water rights available, it is probably the most ideal as well as the largest remaining piece of .undeveloped agricul tural territory on the Pacific coast. Strahorn explained that the plans' would now naturally lead to taking recently perfected and announced by up such feeder lines as the ones now President Sproule of the Southern under consideration ana tne new the Pacific romnnnv for creation of a i lines already decided upon by new throuah jeast and west line O. C. & E. to Stiver Lake, the Wll- across central ana southern Oregon, consisting of the Natron lino, tho Oregon California & Eastern, nnd the Nevada California. & Oregon, bad naturally opened up an entirely new and very fHiportant situation from tho railroad viewpoint, in all the territory between the old South ern Paclflc-Portland-San Francisco line and Salt Lake, which would carry along as a naturo.1 sequence the reviving of some such old pro- liamson river country, and Lakeviewr 'important To Farmer This has a more Important bear ing upon tbe agricultural and stock raising interests than upon the al ready well-served lumbering Inter ests, which have been so much in the limelight in the consideration of this new eastern line, for the rea son that about 70 per cent of our lumber Is marketed In . California and other southern districts,, whllo Jects as the Modoc Northern, and ; agricultural prouuets irom sucn ais the projecting of new ones.

One of the largest real estate transfers to bo completed In this county was closed Friday by W. H. Morrison, local realty man. The transaction Involved approximately $300,000 and affected 2100 acres ot the best wheat land In Umatilla county. s LOCAL ELKS TO CHARTER SPECIAL TRAIN FOR PORTLAND CONVENTION Members of tho Elks committee in chargo of the plans of the Klam ath Falls lodge to attend the moot ing of tha Orand Lodgo in Portland Juno 13 to June 17 have decided definitely on the chartering of a special train, although a number of the members have announced their intentions of driving their own cars north. v According to a member ot the committee, more than 200 will at tend the meeting from this section ot the stato and one ot the most novel bits of advertising will be carried out by tho Klamath lodgo. I rtonnern, wnicn, as irequeouy stated. In past years by Southern Pacific authorities, has never been abandoned, but would doubtless, in part at least, come into its own at an appropriate time when the other numerous and more Important pro- I lects renuirinz such nittlavs nf ran. ital were disposed of. Alwuvs Intended Strahorn Mr. Strahorn said that there had never been any doubt about the construction of this line to Malin when the Southern Pacific company could be assured that there would be sufficient tonnage to make Us operation profitable, providing per mission could be obtained from the Interstate commerce commission to make the extension. He said that the Southern Pacific company had been taking necessary steps for some time to satisfy itself that tho con struction would bo justified. The great outstanding fact pre sented hy Mr. Strahorn in this con nection was the bearing upon all such needed development of tho creation ot the now transcontinen tal route from Portland to Fernloy, Nov., by construction and consolida tion ot the lines above mentioned. This, he said, had placed an en tirely now phase upon all such Bit- Pelican heads which fit over the entire Bead of the wearer, havo been ordered from an eastern bouso and will arrive In tho city In time to take them to Portland Tho bills uatlons In central and southern Ore of the Pelican will be lite size andjgon, California and Nevada, duff to from the bill will hang a sign ad vertising Klamath Falls, Klamath county and the Pelicans. Medford is planning to advertise Crater Lake ana other cities In southern Oregon will boost tholr sections, but none of them will the Increased marketing facilities to be created - by the new and much shorter, outlet to the east. . While development of such districts had heretofore languished because of ac cess only to the California markets, the areat shortening bv the new rail llns of the distance to eastern mar- carry out the Idea In as unique a manner as has been designed by the kets and north Pacific const mar Klnmnth lodge. I kets, as well ns lessening of grades, S tances to the railroad. Under this new development, lf( it can be ef fected of such districts, agricultur al products, which will not bear such rates as apply to lumber, would have a direct outlet in California, Nevada, and contiguous states, and via the new Portland Short Line, northwestern Oregon and Washing ton would also enjoy a much wider eastern market. What the Tule lake ' agricultural output would mean in addition to Oregon's wealth, be said, could bo better appreciated when It Is under stood that here was an acreage probably richer than any other in the Pacific northwest, of equal area to all the balance ot tho Klamath agricultural region put together. The effect ot such development upon Klamath Falls would naturally be very great, creating a population and volumo of business which could, be very favorably compared with the great lumbering InCustry which Is now its mainstay. . - Nrw Consuming Area . Mr. Strahorn declared another favorablo factor for the Matin lino was that the Southern Pncitic fi nancing Ills construction of tbe lines to Silver Lake, Lakovicw and down the Williamson river, assured a largely increased market for 'Malin agricultural products In the great lumber districts to be developed by those three new fines, giving the ,...!....

A rousing applause was given Mr. Strahorn when he announced tho survey work on the Modoc Northern, as well as after the talk was ovotr Earl Shepherd, president ot the Merchants bureau, In the closing (Continued on Page Two) ' 1
