PORTLAND, Oe Oct I. Testi
mony In the Interstate Commerce
commission hearing here on rail
roe ddevelopment switched from
Oregon to California today, as Di
rector Charlea Mahaftle took up
th application of the Southern
Pacific for extenaiona In northern
California after th Hills roads
completed their case In behalf of
their propoaed extension ' from
Bend to Klamath Falls.
Th Southern Pacific's ease waa
begun after Director Mahaffle re
fused the request of that railroad
that the Oregon Public 8ervlc
commission should put in Its testi
mony before the Southern Pacific
produced Ita wltneaaea. .
' J. F. ' Shaughnessy of Carson
City, Nev., president of the Nevada
railroad and public service com
mission, spoke In, favor of an exten
sion, of the Central Pacific (South
era Pacific) from Klamath Falls
to Alturas, Cal.
Robert E. Strahorn, builder of
the Oregon California Eastern
railroad In the southern part of
Oregon, spoke In support of extend
ln his lines from Snrague river to
.Silver Lake and also to Lakevlew,
Bonanza and Williamson river. He
told of his struggles to finance this
undertaking.
Band's Opposition Told.
"I waa attending a big railroad
masa meeting at Bend In 1915.
(When a delegation or leading cltl
cens from Klamath Falla came and
asked me to go down there and
study their transportation needs,"
said Strahorn.
"I went to Klamath Falla. made
a careful survey of the situation
I and planned a line from there to
iBend and to Lakevlew. From lha
moment It waa found the Klamath
Falls project might be a success,
the lumbermen of Bend, began to
oppose It.
''Mr. Shevlln. of the Great Shev-
illn-Hixnn company, repeatedly told
me personally that they could not
stand for the southern extension of
the railroad," said Strahorn. "My
friends who wore In business In
.Bend at the lime were threatened
,thst if they continued to favor
I building a railroad south, Ihey
would auffer."
I He said that about this time Ihe
.Chambers of Commerce of the
'state took a vote on the dealrahlll
ty of building hia proposed Klam
lath Falls-llend-Lakevlew railroad,
and every chamber of commerce In
j Oregon favored It but Bend.
The atory of Klamath Falla' co
operation waa told. A I3ft0,0fl0 bond
ilssue was voted and given him,
right of way tn Sprague river waa
promised aa well as a terminal site
I In Klamath Falla and certain need
ed municipal franchises.
I "Only one-half of the right of
,way waa furnished and the same
amount of the terminal alte given,"
I Strahorn said, "and aome of the
franchises are larking. I am not
'complaining about Klamath Falla

I to do more than they could, but It
made me shoulder more troubles.
