SWAMPSCOTT, Mass.,
July 18. (United Preim) An
unannounced visit by President
Coolidge today to Secretary of
War John Weeks at West
Gloucester, Mass., coupled
with the visit three days ago
of Charles D. llillis of New
York, to President Coolidge,
revived reports that Secretary
Weeks will resign soon, and
may be succeeded by Hillis,
who was formerly national re
publican leader, former assist
ant secretary of the treasury,
and secretary to former Presi
dent Taft.
The president and Secretary
Weeks were closeted together
at the Weeks' home for 45
minutes. It was believed by
many that the purpose of the
visit was to accept Weeks'
resignation, which is under
stood to have been offered the
president two months ago
jtiHt after Weeks passed the
critical stage of his present
illness.
Ilillls three days ago had a long

close of which he refused to dis
cuss the, reason for the visit or In
dicate what subjects were argued.
At that time there wero reports
that Ilillls might be offered the
poKltk.n of secretary of war should
Secretary Weeks retire.
The war secretary's Job was ex
ressively strenuous and It was the
strain primarily that caused Weeks
to have a partial atroke of par

PORTLAND, Ore., July 18
A new industry for central
Oregon became a certainty
when it was learned here to
night that a $6,000,000 cor
poration had been formed to
develop the silicia-containing
deposits near Terrebonne, in
Deschutes county.
The Terrebonne enterprise',
which is backed by eastern fi
nanciers, is expected to rival
the Bend lumber industry.
The earth, containing the silic
eous skeletons ot millions of small
plant erg an is ma. wJU be used In the
manufacture ot Insulated bricks and
polishing powder. It is said to be
better material for Insulation than
asbestos and can be used as a filler
for paint. ,
. A spur track seven miles long
and a' number of brick kilns are
scheduled for Immediate construc
tion. The (track will connect with
the Oregon . Trunk and thus event
ually will be on the direct line to
Klamath Falls.
The new corporation was chatt
ered under the laws of Delaware
and is capitalized ot $6,300,000.
The concern will be known as the
Atomlte corporation.
(ilant Corporation
The Atomlte company will be the
successor of the Dkitomlte corpor
ation which has handled the excava
tion of the sUIca deposits In the
past. The Atomlte corporation will
greatly expand the production, how
ever, increasing ihe output to 60.
000 tons within the next few years.
Hartwig N. Bantch. .brother of
Barney Bamrh, the well known
New York capitalist and former
chairman of the war Industries
boaird. Is chairman of the board of
directors ot ithe Atomlte corpora
tion. A. H. KrlegOT. W. U. Joraan
and Phelan Beale are president,
vice-president and treasurer, res
pectively.
The holdings of the new corpora
tion renresent approximately o.-
000.000 tons of the deposit and the
supply is said to be sufficient lor
the next .century.
That the Hill lines do not intend to penetrate deep into
California, at least, not vim the oft-mentioned route to Eureka
and southward from there, or via any other point bordering
the Pacific, was the emphatic statement of Louis K. Hill, chair
man of the board of director of the Great Northern railroad.
Mr. Hill, in company with his son, Louis, Jr., Cortlandt P.
Hill and C V. Lintner, Oregon Trunk engineer, arrived here
yesterday after a tour of inspection, starting at Bend and con
tinuing southward over Ae Northern lines' surveys recently
made, with a view to building into Klamath Falls, - ..'
That the northern line do, however, intend to build far
ther south into California, as far south as the Walker timber
country, however, was strongly hinted at by Mr. Hill, who
will leave here this morning, continuing hi trip southward
into that portion of California. .
Mr. Hill, when asked by a News "We are coming at the urgent
LAKE EWAUNA FISH
STARTLES FLAPPER
Here's a different fish story for
the tourists.

Klamath Falls girls were boating In
Lake Ewauna. As they were row

high Into . the air and tell In .the
bottom of the boat.
The flopping fish at her feet at-
fected one girl as a small cheese
eating rodent does most of the fem
inine sex, snd she stood up on the
seat and shrieked tor help.
No predatory pelican came to the
rescue, but tne second girt caimiy
lifted Op the flapping and startled
fish and put him back In the water,
as he was a minor and wasn't big
enough to fry.

What action the Interstate com

application to extend here I am un
able to predict. Of course. I am
optimistic. What the Interstate com

railroad problem confronting It is
merely speculation, until . they ac
tually meet, consider and decide."
Mr. Hill declared. "It Is a com-
paratlrely new body, and no real
great railroad extensions have been
before It recently. Railroads aren't
making enough money these days to
extend their lines unless conditions
sctually warrant It." j
Mr. Hill was very sportsmanlike
in bis reference to the Southern Pa
cific. "The Southern Pacific ex
ecutives are mighty good business
nun. They most generally get what
they go after, and they know how
to conduct their business," ha declared.
Coming By Request
The Hill lines are not coming

"Oregon as a whole, bas disinteg

Hill declared that Oregon, In time,
would be all that was hoped for, and
that with railroad development, the
"inland empire" would "awaken."
