NEW RAILROAD LINE
MAY BE SOON BUILT

The rails of the new municipal rail-
road from klamath Falls to Dairy,
20 miles east, and the first link of
the great Strahorn system which is
destined later to develop the great
inland empire of Oregon, have now
reached Olene, 10 miles east, and it
is expected that active operations
over that part of the line will be in
stituted at an early date, according
to information given out at the Stra-
horn headquarters.
While some work remains to be
done in the big rock cuts and fills,
the greater portion of the route be-
tween Olene and Dairy is ready, and
is now waiting for the rails, when
will be laid as soon as the grade is
entirely completed. Officials assert
that the Klamath-Dairy link is now
about so per cent completed. When
Dairy is reached, Strahorn plans to
complete his grades to the Sprague
river 20 miles north.
1t is expected that a considerable
tonnage will be available as soon as
the road is in operation. klamath

PERSHING ISSUES ORDERS
FOR SOLDIERS TO WRITE

The war department has made pub
lie general order issued by General
Pershing encouraging members of the
American expeditionary forces to
keep up correspondence with their
relatives and friends at home.
One of the greatest arguments for
a constant flow of letters between
France and America, General PERISH
ing said, was that 1t relieves much
distress and anxiety on the part of
relatives and friends at home.
General Pershing's order said
First: Duty to ones country does
not end on the parade ground nor
even on the battle field, but consists
in doing everything in ones power
to help win the war. To write home
frequently and regularly, to keep in
constant touch with family and
friends, is one of the soldiers most
important duties. Mothers and faith
ers will suffer if they do not hear
often from sons fighting in France.
In the present large companies it is
not possible for officers to write let
ters for their men and every man
must do it for himself,
