RUSH NEW ROAD
TO COMPLETION
California Northeastern Railway
Will Soon Finish Line to
Klamath Falls
Splendid Rich New Country Has
Been Opened Up by
New Route

e. H. Hartman has issued orders to
hasten the completion of the California
Northeastern, which has already been
built to the Oregon-Ca California state
line, and a station established there
named Calor.
This road promises TO be one of the
most important of the many new lines
which have been commenced, or pro-
Jected, by the Southern Paclflc. II
leaves the main line at Weed, and
passes through an exceedingly rich
country which only has needed trans
portation facilities to develop its great
resources.
One of the towns which it will touch
Is klamath Falls. which at present,
though a small place, is destined to
have magnificent future. 1t has all
the advantages of immense water pow
er and there is every reason to believe
that 1T will in time be great manu-
facturing center. The country round
is rich in timber and there is noun
tain mahogany in this section which is
susceptible of high polish and could be
generally used
Work is being hastened on the new
depot at Calor, and service will be
opened as soon as platforms and build
ings can be constructed. 1t Is proDa-
ple that IrelSnC Will De IedIHeu from
Doris for the time being, owing to the
fact that warehouses, stage stables and
other accommodations are established
there, and Calor will be only Temporal
rily the terminus, as work on the new
line will continue rapidly until Kla-
math Falls is reached.
The new lire north will have many
advantages over the old route by the
way of the Siskiyous, which is shown
by the profile maps made by the en-
gfneering department of the Southern
Pacific giving the comparative grades
of the present line and the new line
via klamath Falls and Odell pass, juno
tion to be MADE with the present line
at Natron.
Natron is $40 miles via the new route
from Dunsmuir and the total distance
to Springfield Junction, the main line
junction near Eugene is $40 miles.
The distance via the new line is a few
miles shorter than the DID, but there
will be a great saving in grades.
The maximum grade between Sisson
and Junction City via the klamath
Falls line will be only 20 feet to the

MAKES PLEA FOR
U. S. POSTAL BANK
Inspector Mcmillan Tells POST
masters Convention Scheme
Would Prevent Panics

California's postmasters, presidential
and fourth class. yesterday listened to
f. E. Mcmillan, chief inspector of the
service. who talked on the proposed
parcel post and postal savings banks.
In the afternoon the former PROPOSE
ton came up for discussion Some of
the postmasters opposed the plan in its
general sense. On the floor the only
expression of opposition came from
Motley II. Flint of Los Angeles, who
took his stand against the establish
ment of a general parcels post.
Most of the day went to discussions
dealing with matters of system. 1t de-
yeloped that the temper of the gather
ing was radically in favor of simplify
ing business of mail handling and
money transmission wherever this was
possible.
The next place of meeting will prob
ably be either Los Angeles or Del
Monte.
Last evening the postmasters ban
quoted at the st. Francis. The occasion
was in honor of Chief Inspector Nc
MILAN. Nj. H. Flint was toastmaster.
Mcmillan addressed the convention
yesterday morning on the postal saw
ings banks. To prevent boarding. he
said, would be the main purpose full
filled by the proposed system and that
1t would lessen danger of panics OF
the three billions and odd dollars of
currency In this country, az per cent
only is accounted for through banks
leaving SO per cent whose where
abouts is unknown. He inferred
that much of this is boarded. Pos
tai savings banks would prevent
I
fact that already the postoffices are
used by men who fear banks to the
extent of i$S, ,055, 600, invested in moneS
orders made out in favor of their buy
ers. He told of the large amount OF
foreign money orders bought by mer
who sent their savings to other coun.
tries because of distrust of American
banks. In California, he said, money
orders payable to self were taken out
last year to the amount of S762,720.
The postal savings bank, preventing
this, would not compete with banks
The parcels post proposition he de-
scribed in detail. The administration
fayors what is known as the Burnhan

of the section from the department
store. In a discussion led by d. +
Hunt of Santa Barbara during the af.
ternoon session on this same topi,
Hunt described the system somewhat
in detail, favoring It.
A letter from the fourth assistan
postmaster general told of rural fre,

January, ! the members of the Bap-

ion Of good wishes for the new year.
Mr. Arthur Conklin snd Mrs. Church
presented the Church with Twen-
tieth Century Individual Communion
Set. The gift is complete and beauti-
full. A want for some time felt is
thereby met The Church is truly
grateful 10 him aud to her Mrs.
Church was not member but while
here took helpful part. Mr.. Conklin
has been one of the most faithful
workers since the establishment Of the
Baptist Church here.
The main part of the work Of de-
corating the Church interior has been
done. By next Sunday it will be
complete. 1t is the work of Mr. Lam
phear.
1t will be matter of interest to
all to read word from three Of the
pastors of Roseburg concerning
Evangelist Jones and his singer Prof.
Spear REV. H. Wyse Jones served
Us at Roseburg in n Union Revival
meeting in which the Presby yterian
M. f. South and Baptist Churches
were engaged. Bro. Jones breaches
with great power and is rare organ
izer and manager of revival service
His meetings are spiritual and deeply
prayerful Bro. Eugene A. Spear is
an excellent singer as soloist, but
his greatest value was as director of a
chorus. And he has rare ability to
get all of the people to sing. His ser
vices for the children are safe and
very helpful.
These two consecrated men have
lead us in the greatest union revival
meeting ever held in Roseburg in
which about 235 souls we're saved.
They preached and sang the pure
gospel and knew nothing among us
save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Their work is deep and subtsantia al
and we recommend them to our
brethren in the Lord as strong and
safe evangelists of our Saviour.
May the Holy Spirit continue tc
bless their lsbnrs IN other places as
He has here.
