Want HIGHWAY
VIA P0ktGAMA
piONEEI, RAIL ROUTE TO KI.AM.
ATH MAY BECOME HIGHWAY
TO MAIN LINE-CUTs OUT THE
FAMOUS TOISY GRADE

The feasibility OF wagon road via !
Pokegama and Fall Creek to connect |
Klamath Falls with the Pacific high !
way Is a subject now occupying the
attention OF klamath Chamber of
Commerce. by many 1t is considered
,ha, this would be the best way to,
leach klamath Falls. were good
road provided, and the county court
expects to soon view the proposed
highway. to ascertain the facts.
To make road via Fall Creek and
pokegama II would be necessary TO
secure the old railroad right Of Way
In that section for several miles. Hap
PLY this could easily be secured from
the California; Oregon Power compa-
ny. which owns 1t. provided Klamath
county would adopt the route and
construct good highway.
The idea Of such road has found
favor among the residents OF that Vi
cinity. and the farmers along the
route have agreed to give six days
each. with teams. for the destruction
OF the old railroad, taking out the
ties and other obstructions that could
not be used for the highway. and for
the building OF first class highway.
This would give per cent max
imum grade between Pokegama and
Hornbrook. while the Pacific highway
bstwcen Ashland and Hornbrook has
a maximum of per cent over the Sis
kiyous.
In answer to a request for the COM
pany's attitude on releasing the right
of way, Secretary Fleet Of the Cham
Der of Commerce has received the fol-
lowing letter from General Manager
Alex J. Rosboroughsat San Francisco:
II beg to acknowledge receipt OF
your letter OF June 7th. 1915. relative
10 the matter as to whether this COM
pany would release the old railroad
/ right Of way between Hot Springs
station near Copco and the plateau to
the county OF Klamath for the pur-
pose OF public highway.
I'm reply thereto beg to state that
tthis subject has been spoken of be-
fore. with the idea Of having this old
railroad right OF way converted into
first class wagon road. and fee,
satisfied that IL klamath county viii
agree 10 Immediately adopt this route
,,and will build 1t into first class
wagon road, that our company will
be very glad to turn 1t over to Kiam-
ath county.
There are many reasons In our
Judgment why this is the most feas-
lible, the most direct and the shortest
road that will connect Klamath Falls
with the California state highway.
Not only is this a very feasible route,
but as you gentlemen know. the grade
is situated on the sunny side of the
klamath River canyon. which would
make dry road bed which could be
travelled with little repair the year
lround.
There In developed by this CON-
lpany at Copco a tremendous deposit
of volcanic cinders. which could be
used to very great advantage and al
comparatively little cost for making
this roadbed. and our company would
be very glad to assist klamath COM
pany by donating this material II tho
county will build first class road
In fact, our hearty cooperation will
be given Klamath county II 1t vii
undertake this work."

EDISON WANTS BATTERY
TESTED IN SUBMARINE
His Invention to Eliminate Dangerous
Gases L. Pronounced
Successful

West Orange. ". J., Aug. 29.--lt
was learned today that Thomas A.
Edison. the inventor, has asked the
United States naval authorities to re-
serve decision on his submarine sfor-
age battery until II has received a
thorough test In the submarine H-2.
The battery designed to eliminate the
formation OF poisonous chlorine gas
has been severely tested In the Brook
lynn navy yard and not only measured
up to all the claims Of the inventor,
but exceeded in efficiency by Mt least
20 per cent his expectations, But. tho
drastic series of tests 10 NOT enough
for Mr. Edison. even though before
the years test in the Brooklyn navy
yard were begun the battery salts
fed all Mr.. Edison's own tests
The expenditure OF time and
money on the batteries will be wisely
invested IL they stand the test in the
submarine as successfully as they
have at the navy yard" said Mr.. Edi-
SON. 1T Is a source of deep graft
fication to me that have been able
to eliminate dangerous gases from
the submarine. protecting the health
OF the men on board. and increasing
the efYlciency Of the craft"
Mr.. Edison conducted 5000 expert
ments In making the batteries. and
spent about 100000 on them. Back
In 1910 a delegation Of submarine Of
ficers, Including Lieutenants T. @.
Ellyson, Fred McNair. Alfred II. Mills
and Lee Petit Warren, assigned to in-
vestigate submarine troubles. visited
Mr.. Edison at his laboratory in West
Orange They explained the genera
ton OF chlorine gas. and Mr.. Edison
promised to see what he could do.
AZ q result Of his work in July.
1914. a rolling pitching platform was
installed In the Brooklyn yard and
a set Of batteries attached to It, They
were charged and recharged while the
platform was In motion. 1t is believ-
ed that set OF batteries did more
work In a year than a set on sub
marine would do in ten years of
peace.

GERMANY MOVES TO
REHABILITATE HERSELF
IN EYES OF NEUTRALS
BUSINESS IS GOOD NOW
But, Munitions Manufacturer Declares
Future Condition Warrants
Serious Thought

New York, Aug. 29.-The Sun to-
morrow morning will print the opin-
ions of a great many business men on
their prospects fer the coming sea-
son. These estimates of the present
.@rend of manufacture, buying and SELL
ing are made for the most part
through the medium of the great
trade journals.
According to the reports received,
the opinion Is general that business in
this country has reached the turn
ing point and Is preparing to ne
gotiate an upgrade with confidence in
Its ability to overcome all obstacles.
The European war hit business in
this country so hard as to try the
nerve of the stoutest exponent of opti-
mism.
The tendency has not entirely pass
ed away. Many men OF affairs said
privately that they believed matters
were mending. but they were not
sure enough of what is going to hap
pen to warrant their making a pub
lie avowal of their opinions. There
is no doubt that a feeling of con-
found who would assert that it is so
strong as to make the absolute pre-
dicfion of boom possible.
Perhaps the general feeling Is best
expressed by saying that all the signs
point that way.
Not one man could be found who
expressed any thing else but dread OF
war. 1t is acknowledged that in GER
tain industries the European conflict
has stimulated business. but even the
men who are profi;ing by war orders
of unheard size acknowledge that such
prosperity IL only apparent. They de-

the situation that will be presented 10
this country when the period of re-
adjustment to normal conditions sets
in is described as being fraught with
possibilities for evil. Here are some
suggestions for the thought of busi-
ness men from one OF their number
who is interested in the making OF
munitions of war:

CANADIAN TROOP SHIP
REPORTED TORPEDOED
OFF SCILLY ISLANDS

During the last fiscal year our ex-
ports were in the neighborhood OF
s27 ,000,0 900. For the first ten months
of this year they were $40, 664.S39. and
the crest of the buying has not yet
been reached. Orders are out for
which there are no takers. Many
plants are making machine tools now
that never made them before. Con-
tract prices cover overturn of equip
ment. new equipment, everything, and
1T looks now as II we must have two
more years of 1t.
Now. what about the new equip
ment when the war Is over? What
about the plants that have converted
their machinery into munition pro-
ducers? What about the manufa ctur-
ers of metal in Canada? They are
beginning to smelt over there now.
something that they have always re-
lied on us to do. What will Europe
do with the vast quantities of ma
chinery that are being shipped abroad
after the war ends? Is all OF this
machinery sent to Europe to be scrap
ped? Are our own new factories to
be torn down and their equipment
sent to the junk heap? And here
is another thing. What of the thous-
ands of women who have become in
dustrial operators in Europe since the
outbreak OF the war?
Many of these women are going
to remain in industrial life. They and
the men are going to be willing II,
keep on working and with the re-
lease of the fighting men the labor
market will be drugged. The Euro
pean manufacturers are not going to
scrap their machinery. They will
convert IL to peaceful uses. That
means that we must be on our guard
here against inportations of cheaply
produced manufactures that will tax
our ingenuity TO the utmost. Our own
manufacturers are not going to be
any more willing than those abroad
to scrap their new equipment. II is
a future condition that warrants
serious thought, The possible effects
upon this country are simply meal
