I "Construction of the projected rail way line connecting Klamath Falls with Natron has- been discontinued be cause we cannot raise the money to finish if That is the statement made by Wil liam Sproule, president, of the South ern Pacific company. In a letter to the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Sproule said the reason they could not raise the needed money was because of the agitation against railroad corpora tions and the consequent hostile public sentiment toward them. For some time the Portland Chamber of Commerce has been actively en deavoring to bring about railroad de velopment in southern and central Oregon. - Reply Disappointing. The chamber took up with President Sproule of the Southern Pacific the matter of completing the Klamath Falls-Natron line, and wrote to James J. Hill and his associates, appealing to them to extend the Oregon Trunk rail road from Bend to Klamath Falls. While the reply from President Sproule is disappointing, the Chamber of Commerce will continue its efforts in behalf of the much needed railroad development. . ' President Sproule said he would like to complete the line in. question, so the company could realize oji the invest ment already made, but saw no pros pect of It until there was a change in public sentiment so Investors would be willing to put their money in railroad stocks. His letter is as follows: Moasy Hot Available. " "Constructiqn on the projected rail way line connecting Klamath Falls with Natron has been discontinued be cause we cannot raise the money to finish it. Under existing conditions we cannot make a showing' or earnings that would justify the millions neces sary to complete the' line. "When anyone and everyone" can. at tack railroad rates, stats and later state, with public approval of the scal ing down of railroad rates and disap proval of the maintenance of railroad revenues, the railroads have- little foundation left upon which to borrow money, beoause the rates of the present give no promise for the revenues of the future. . "Until investments " In railroads, which ar mad from the savings of the people at large, become secure and inviting, it is not. likely that railroad construction, in this country can be re sumed, and least of all on the Pacific coast, where such construction is needed most. "People will not place their money in these distant fields of operation un less the disposition of the people and tne government gives those people rea sonable assurance that their money is secure and the return on it attrac tive enougb to warrant its Investment far away from their home. Pacific coast states are distant from the cen ters of population where the money ac cumulates. - "These states need development; yet they have, for some 'years been the most radical in their attitude toward the railroads, which the people from whom we might expect to borrow money cannot understand and sincerely mistrust. "With respect to the whole subject, I am very sorry, and it is a source of regret to the directors and officers of this company that we have been unable to complete the project the Klamath people have at heart, i but we do not control the conditions; they control us. We have money already invested in the line in question and naturally would desire to complete the project if we could, so as to accomplish the purposes of the Investment already made."
