IT has been told In this column how he pushed on east from the Klamath Marsh, announced to his party somcwhore south of Lakevlew that they would never be able to make it back across the Rockies Jn winter and how they crossed the Siena and came out at Sutter's Fort, at about the present site of Sacra mento. Under the pretext of re fitting their battered expedition, thoy remained at Sutter's fort for some time (long enough for Fremont to got an Idea of how things were going) and then re-, turned by the southern route. FREMONT came back In lBlli. This, time he came directly to California. He stayed at Sutter's Fort as long as he could possibly fipd an excuse, and then moved further out into the valley and encamped Ills rather considerable parly He used every possible pre text for delay. . Again he kept his counsel well. But the fact that he WAS on the spot at the psychological moment when the Spanish Californlans could no longer endure the rule Df their Mexican governors and revolted and that he moved in and raised the American flag at Portsmouth Square and took over in the name of the United Slates leaves little doubt that he knew what he was doing all Hie time. k GAIN In this expedition, as In f 1813, Klamath lake and the Klamath country entered the picture. Fremont left his camp In t lie Sacramento valley witli u small party and headed north to sec the lake he had missed be fore. By the process of putting two and two together, it seems prob able that ho wanted on excuse for delay and used his Klamath Luke expedition to gain lime. The Mexican authorities, in Cali fornia were getting suspicious of his presence, and he needed to do something to allay their sus picions. AT any rale, he came north and was in the general neighbor hood of Hocky Point, on Upper Klamath Lake, when the mes senger arrived to tell him the lime was finally ripe and to make all haste back to California. He turned back tit once, fought u battle with the Klamalhs at Denny creek, stopped long enough to chastise them for the losses they inflicted on his iwily and then hastened back to the Sacramento valley to play his pint In the annexation of California to the United Slates. The part he played launched him Into a career that was both glamorous Bnd tragic. It Is un likely that this writer will be able to resist the temptation to tell more of Fremont. 5. P. OfficialTiye Local Industry Field K. C. Nelson, freight traffic manager for (lie Southern Pa cific - company, rucBiitly trans- By Charles V. Stanton PRESSURE is being plced upon the Office of Defense ' Transportation to force the Southern Pacific company to provide through train service for Southern Oregon. To date the ODT has turned a deaf ear to appeals from civic leaders and from Senator Charles L. McNary and Con gressman Harris Ellsworth, of the Oregon delegation in con gress. There is a chancd, however, that if the people of ftouinern uregon make themselves heard in Washington by means of direct messages.jthe ODT will at least get off the plush cushions of its swivfel chairs and stir itself enough to make an investigation of our transportation needs. The situation is that the Southern Pacific company oper ates four through trains each way over the Cascade route by way of Klamath Falls EIGHT through trains daily over that line and NOT ONE through train over the Siski you route. We have a stub train, which makes no satisfac tory connection with through trains. The Southern Pacific company contends that operation over the Siskiyou line is more expensive than running the trains by way of the Cascade route and that there is not sufficient passenger business in Southern Oregon to justify a change. Congressman Harris Ellsworth has requested of the ODT that it Require the Southern Pacific company to divert at least one of its trams from the Cascade to' the Siskiyou route, replacing, if deemed advisable, the stub train, but giving through service, between. Portland and San Fran cisco. The congressman received one of the usual bureau ciatic, double-talk letters, and promptly fired back an answer declaring: .... , "The Information you enclosed with your letter was in- ; teresting, but had little or no hearing on the request in my previous letter that your office obtain specific and definite information that could and should give a fair and Impartial answer on the vital point In this controversy regarding pas senger train service through Oregon to California. It is our contention, and I have as yet seen no single fact from any : souroe that would dispute It, that the Southern Paclfio Com pany is now using men and equipment; to render a more or less unsatisfactory service on a local basis between Portland ' and Ashland." Congressman Ellsworth repeated his demand for further study. Knowing Harris Ellsworth as we do and knowing that, when he stirs out of his usual mild manner to use the vigor ous language quoted above, he has his fighting togs on, we can read between the lines that he is really "going to bat" qn.bohalf of Southern Oregon's transportation needs. Population in Southern Oregon has made a remarkable growth during the past 18 months. Here in Douglas county our rapid- industrialization has built up the population of the communities immediately adjacent to the railroad. Jack son county, with its Camp White, has grown enormously in population and passenger transportation needs. We believe a study will show that, at least for the period of the emer gency, a through train could bo operated profitably. ' You as a News-Review reader can help in relieving this bituation. If the ODT can be shown there is actual public demand for improved passenger service it is quite probable that favorablo action can be obtained and the Southern Pa cific company forced to give service to the territory it has kept in the ice box for so many years. If you believe as we -do, and as Congressman Ellsworth believes, that the Southern Pacific company should be re quired to do something about improved passenger service in Southern Oregon, place your views on paper, in the form of a letter and address it to; Mr. V. V. Iloatner, Director, Division of Railway Transport, Office of Defense Transportation : Washington, D. G.
