Again. In your Issue of the tb,' laet., It appears that Senator Cham berlain bad tha assurance of Mr. Kd. wnrd Chambers, assistant director general, that consideration would be given the request of Burns cltlteas for government aid In building the proposed road from Burns to n con nection with the line building west froa Vail, and requested that plans and eetlaatea be forwarded to Wash. Ington, D. C, at once. Taking It for granted that the fore, going Is at least an Indication that tha government Is going Into the rail road business as a war measure and on n war scale unprecedented In the annals of the nations, Klamath Falls Bight Just as well get Into line and present Ita case for consideration also. It appears to be the consensus of opinion that the immediate and re mote future of Klamath Falls, from the standpoint of development, In dustrially, agriculturally and com mercially, la Inseparately linked with the direct transportation problem be tween Portland aad San Francisco via tka Natron cutof, and between Port land and Ogden and Salt lake via Modoe Northern coanectlng at Klam. ath Falls, Now, If there Is any advantage to accrue to Klamath Falls, Immediate or prospective, from being on a main line, aad the government can be made to see the necessity from a war stand point or nay other standpoint for coapletlng the road from Kirk to Eugene and the Modoo Northern from Klamath Falls to Susaovllle, let tha preposition be put squarely up to the government thru Senator George Chaaberlala, without unnecessary delay. The avowed essence of the government activities In taking over tka railroads la time. The main line between Kirk and Eugene and be tweea Klamath Falls and Busanvllle can be completed and In operation la a comparatively short time, without interference with any other railroad enterarleo. If consuaaled, Klamath rails win automatically come into ner own. The chance, whatever It Is, should not be neglected. A. L.
