11 KL1ATH RAILWAY OBSTACLES SHOWN "Hostile Public Sentiment" Blamed by Southern Pa cific for Inability.

" Is the Inrae that sums up Mr. Sproule'a reason for Inactivity on tba Natron Klamath line. "When anjrone and everyone can at tack railroad rates, state and Inter state." says Jtr. Uproule.

Tbia explanation of the Southern Pa cific's attitude. It Is feared, will pre fect the Chamber from waaMcs; a suc cessful effort at any time la the near future f"r the Klamath development. X'rttl public sentiment permits the rail road to borrow money and relieves prospective Investors of their frisht. It Is believed activity on this project win nave to no neia in aoejrance. The Chamber of Commerce appealed to the iouthern Pacific a few weeks to to bullj the Natron-Klaraatb line. An appeal to extend the Oregon Trunk road from Bend to Klamatb Falls was sent by the Chamber to James K. Hill and his associated rail road officials a few weeks a so. The Klamatb Falls people are eager to have a direct outlet to Portland. Their only rail service to the outside world now Is through Weed. Cel. This places tbera lo closer touch with San Francisco than with Portland. As a resu.t San Francisco rets most of the Klamatb County trade. Portland has a vital Interest In ob taining rail connection with the Kla mat. i country, but In presenting Its appeal the Chamber also points out that tbe railroads doubtless will De lardy benefited if the connection Is provided.

SURVEY HEED URGED Alaskan Waters Particularly Without Protection. FISH INDUSTRY RETARDED Geodetic Superintendent Declares Siowness in Charting Northern Seas Has Caused Loss of Many Vessels. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11. (Special.) 'During. the last 16 years there have been over TO sizeable vessels, valued at more than $2,500,000, lost in the waters of Alaska. In addition to this haa been the serious loss of life. It is no wonder that people who invest their money in vessels to carry on a large and legiti mate business should hesitate to enter the waters of Alaska.' of which there are not only no correct surveys, or no surveys at all, but which are generally without lighthouses, buoys and other aids to navigation." This assertion was made by . Dr. E. Lester Jones, superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic Sur vey, in an address delivered today be fore the Pacific Fisheries' Society. Dr. Jones, until recently, was Deputy Cora- misaioner of Fisheries, and in that Capacity visited Alaska last Summer. He gained first-band information not only regarding the fisheries of Alaska, but about the lack of safety in those waters. In his new office, he explained, he rs striving to secure appropriations which will enable the Coast Survey to chart thoroughly the waters of Alaska and the entire Pacific Coast. Dr. Jones solicited the support of the members of the Pacific Fisheries Society in get ting from Congress the" necessary ap propriations. Dr. jones, in nis aaaress, aeciarea the unsafe condition of Alaskan waters greatly retarded tbe fishing Industry. Continuing, Dr. Jones said: "In 1914 the various fishing fleets operationg in Alaska waters approxi mated 2300 vessels, with a total net tonnage of almost 147,000 and valued at nearly $S, 250, 000. The home ports of these vessels are in Alaska, or tbe seaports of 'Washington, Oregon and California. '"Alaska has been owned by this cpuntry for 48 years, and today all ves sels, fishing and commercial, as well as Government vessels, still ply waters largely unprotected, endangering both life and property. Tbe failure to safe guard the seas and the bays has exacted a heavy annual toll from th fishing Interests of the Pacific Coast and Alaska. "This may seem to reflect on th United States Coast and Geodetic Sur vey. But the blame does not lie there. The survey Is doing and - has been doing everything possible with th means at hand boats like the Gadnay and McArtbur. 41 and 40 years old re spectlvely. ready - to - sink - at-almoet any-time sort. Congress, however, last year did appropriate money for a new vessel to be known as the Surveyor, which will be used exclusively in car rying on surveys in Alaskan waters. "I know from experience that you Senators and Congressmen on the Pa ciflc Coast are with you heart and soul In furthering this great work for Alaska. UXDIXE IS OX MEGLETt ROUTE Withdrawal of Hassalo Docs Not In terrere With Service to Beach. Succeeding the steamer Hassalo, of the O.-W. R. & N. fleet, which was or dered out of commission on her ar rival from Megler Tuesday night, the steamer Undine, of the Harkins Trans portation Company's fleet, leaves Ash street dock at 8:30 o'clock this morn ing for Megler, and will continue on that run on tbe same schedule as the Hassalo. Her departure Saturdays will be at 1 o clock in the afternoon. She will leave Megler on the return every afternoon after making train con nections there lor North Beach, and Sunday nights will depart from there in company with tbe steamer T. J Potter. Captain Hosford, in announcing the schedule yesterday, said the steamer Georgians would continue on the daily round-trip run between Portland and Astoria, laying over here Monday, and that day passengers can take the steamer Lurline for Astoria at 7:45 o'clock in the morning, or by going on the Undine at 8:30 o clock reach Astoria from Megler by transferring to the steamer Nahcotta. The O.-W. R. & N. steamer Harvest Queen leaves Ash-street dock at o'clock at night for Astoria and the T. J. Potter at 9 o'clock from the same berth for Megler. except Saturday nights, when she departs at 10 o'clock.
