Mr, Redfield. called Professor"
Redfield by his friends, although tie

any college has been campaigning for

"When very young parentage is re
peated for two or three generations,
a degenerate family results,, he said
today, illustrating this by reference
to the Jukes, a New York state family,
to which over 500 degenerates hav
been traced.
"As -long as parents maintain their
health and strength, the older they
are when their children are bom- ths
higher quality the children will pos
sess declares Mr. edfield. -The
eminent men of the world have de
scended from the youngest children
of larger families. Their parents have
.been people of middle and old age when
their children were born, with an aver
age of from 40 to 60 years betwen
generations."
Mr. Redfield is the author of "Con
trol of , Heredity," "Dynamic Evolution"-
and a pamphlet. "Great Men and How
They Are produced." He delivered ad
dresses' at the annual convention of

"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."
