(Goatlaued Iron pace 1.)
from his Journul, he came solely
as un explorer, a pathfinder and
a map-maker.
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.

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;

Morning pf the Year.
Let us arise and buckle on the
shining
Shield of faith, and make our
armor strong.
This is the morning with the
year before us,
U)t us choose well our gallant
marching song.
Let us be glad and confident,
and grateful
That hitherto we have been
wisely led.
Let us be courageous this
bright morning
Although an unknown path
lies out ahead.
Let us be kind to other com
rades starting ,
Upon a strange, perhaps be
wildering way;
Let us reach out a hand to
help the frightened
Shrinking ones upon the road
today;
Let us heed well the golden
bugle blowing
Far on the hills like some
clear pealing bell.
Assuring us that if we bravely
follow
The Captain of Our Souls, all
. will bo well. Amen.
