Tule Lake Project
ArOuSeS Interest

The Tule Lake land reclamation
project is causing considerable stir,
and the klamath Falls papers say that
many people are arriving in the city
daily to investigate and file on the
lands. The rooming conditions Of
the klamath hotels are becoming so
crowded that the Commercial Club is
securing list of places where rooms
may be secured.
Persons who recently visited the
tracts of land report that a goodly
number of people make the trip daily
and that tracks on the lands indicate
that many people have been over
them in all manner OF vehicles from
bicycles to automobiles.
1t is possible to drive machine
over much of the land and the trip
from klamath Falls is not bad at this
time, one party making the trip from

Mountain Patrol
Has Searchlights

The company Of infantry from
Woodburn who are stationed on the
Siskiyous, where they are watching
the Southern Pacific tunnels and
bridges, have erected shanties and
dugouts and made preparations for
an unlimited stay. The huts are
made from corrugated iron. burlap,
mud, logs and any available material,
but they have been fitted up into
much better protection than that
which their tents offered Huge
searchlights have been installed at
the entrance to the tunnels and near
the bridges so that the night watch is
much more convenient and easy to
handle.
Local railroad employees say that
the novelty of the situation has worn
off to great extent, and one lone.
some guard hailed the fireman on a
passing locomotive and asked him to
please bring him something to read,
as the position Of sitting on hill
side all day and watching some tun-
mel or bridge made him hungry for
reading material during his hours off
duty.
Companies of militia from Califor-
mia are on guard at all the tunnels
apd bridges from the California line
to Sacramento. Rumors were rife re-
Gently that some unknown person was
sneaking up behind the ridge in back
of the boys and had been trying his
Workmanship with the patrolmen as
targets. The rumors were evidently
false, however for nothing further
has been heard of the matter during
the past few days.

Work on Chautauqua
Progresses Rapidly

Contractor Jordan, with band of
sixteen carpenters at work on the
cement reinforcements and five teams
busy grading, hauling gravel, etc,
has made great strides toward the
completion of the new Chautauqua
building during the past two weeks.
The lower concrete wall part of the
building will be completed in another
two weeks, according to present
plans, and the entire building will be
finished in time for the regular Chau-
tauqua sessions in July, unless some
unforeseen delay interrupts the work.
The early stages of the work show
that the building will be one of the
most attractive and unique construc-
tions in the state 1t is being built
on the same general plan as the old
structure, but an added dome over
the stage, wide overhanging caves,
different arrangement OF doors, win
dows, and other minor details. will
give il a much more massive and at
tractive appearance. II will be
monstrous building and will be airy
and well lighted because of its innum-
cradle windows. U will also have
the largest seating capacity Of any
building in southern Oregon. The
unexampled plan OF dirt floor cov-
cred with shavings and the same seat
ing arrangement of the old structure
will be followed in the erecting of the
new building, with necessary modifi-
cations to fit the vastness of the seat
ing space. The natural slope of the
land on which the building is being
buht makes the elevation of the rear
seats much easier. Plans for the
stage show that it will be a spacious
one and will be equipped with neces'
sary scenery for Chautauqua work,
good lighting facilities and group
of commodious dressing rooms.
