BAKER. June 5. 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

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

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.

stated. In past years by Southern

abandoned, but would doubtless, in
part at least, come into its own at
an appropriate time when the other

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

manner as has been designed by the kets and north Pacific const mar

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
