able products horses, mules, cattle and sheep on hoof for long distances
to market (having no transportation facilities for carrying wheat and other
products to the railroad) ha awakened from her long deep and bids you
corns to share her prosperity. ,
RAILWAY COMPLETED TO KLAMATH FALLS IN JUNE, 1909.
The wonderful natural resources of that immense country attracted the
attention of the world's most far-sighted railway king, Edward H. Harriman,
who purchased a line of railroad, projected by the Weed Lumber Company
from Weed, California, to Klamath Falls, Oregon, In the early part of 1905,
the Harriman Interests completing the line to Klamath Falls in June, 1909,
and now the line is being pushed vigorously to an Intersection with the main
line at Natron, Oregon, and when completed will become the main line from
San Francisco to Portland, via Klamath Falls.
Klamath Falls hasgrown from a small hamlet In 1905 to about 5,000
prosperous persons In 1910.
The wonderful transformation from old to new conditions within the
year 1909 shows endless trains of cars laden with merchandise, upon which
the freight receipts the first month after the completion of the line amounted
to over 175,000 on Inbound freight
MAGNIFICENT PASSENGER DEPOT IS COMPLETED SHOPS, ROUND
HOUSES AND BROAD RIGHT OF WAY TO
HANDLE HEAVY TRAFFIC.
A magnificent "Class A" granite and cut-stone passenger depot is just
completed; In design and arrangement it is ample to accommodate a city
of 4G00 people. The freight depot is finished, fitting the needs of commerce.
Suitable sites for shops and round-houses have been purchased by th
Sojthem Pacific Company, together with broad and extensive rights of way,
300 feet wide by 3,000 feet long, through the city, ample to accommodate
traffic of almost any magnitude, thus abundantly attesting th wonderful
present commerce of Klamath Falls, and prophetically forecasting the future
growth of the great Inland Empire tributary to that city.
THE STRUGGLE FOR THE RAILWAY MASTERY OF THE INLAND
EMPIRE.
As this article goes to press, the struggle for the mastery of the Inland
Empire is in progress. The James J. Hill Lines are rushing southward
through the Des Chutes Pass, under ths title of the Oregon Trunk Railway
Company, pointing towards Klamath Falls, and It Is an assured fact that
they are seeking a share of the enermous prize already enjoyed by the
Harriman Lines.
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATES 14,500,000.00.
Soil, sunshine and moisture are the essentials of production. Nature
has been kind to Klamath Falls. She has endowed her with soil, and warmth,
and has put moisture within our reach through the medium of irrigation.
The farmer now controls the situation: it has made his work scientiflo In
that it Insures against crop failures, it insures full crops, and it Insures
better and more uniform crops. 8o clear Is this, that we have as a result
a new agriculture. We have intensified farming. Fewer acres and better
farming is now the watchword leading to success.
THIS VAST SUM IS BEING SPENT IN KLAMATH COUNTY. DO YOU
WONDER THE PEOPLE ARE PROSPEROUS?
m
The Klamath Irrigation Project, th largest in the United Stat, has
for its natural storage, Upper Klamath Lake, a body of water approximately
forty miles long by ten mile wide, covering about 94,000 acres, and lying
sixty-three feet above the great Klamath Bln an Inexhaustible supply.
Many a farmer fails, because buffeted by climatic conditions over which he
hae no control. Here, with water to turn on at will, and a fertile soil, the
farmer who fails to produce the best of crops, has only himsslf to blame.
This laks not only dischargee Its waters down a stream that In part Is a
series of rapida and cascades capable of developing 700,000 horsepower, but
is a natural reservoir from which life-giving water to the valleys southward
ia obtained by gravity flow. Thus forests give way to lake, and lake give
way to vast stretches of fertile valley, over-topped by rugged hills and snow
clad mountains. Scenic attractions and hsalth-glvlng hot springs are there,
while lak and strsam comprise a sportsman's psrsdlss.
TWENTY BILLION FEET OF TIMBER.
When Mr. Harriman received the reports of hie engineers, who hsd care
fully examined th timber resources tributary to Klamath Lakes, what did
he learn T He found that five saw-milling concerns cutting 100,000 fset of
lumber each, dally, making total of 600,000 feet per day, computing the
working day eaen year, would require two hundred year to harvest th
forest tributary to that natural commercial center, Klamath Fall. If this
material were reduced to carload of 15,000 feet aeh, th train would con
tain 1,333433 car, and equal a train approximately 42,569,556 feet long
qulvalant to 1,080 mil, or nearly one-third the distance around th earth.
Thl will mean pay roll of over S200r00000.00.
