October 6, upon these various ap
plications. The Southern Pacific takes the
ground that it has recognized its
obligation to develop this territory
as being a section naturally to be
served by Its system. Its plans
for this section between 1912 and
i9iz were suspended through no
fault of its own. During this en
tire period an attack was made
through the courts upon Its hold
ings of the Central Pacific and ef
fort made to make It sell Its in
terests in the Central Pacific. As
the line to Ogden and the linea to
northern California were largely
of Central Pacific ownership, ob
viously nothing could be done un
til that question was disposed of.
As soon as the Interstate . com
merce commission did finally dis
pose of it by sustaining the claim
of the Southern Pacific to its own
ership, work was actively, begun
upon the Natron-Cut-off, to put
the Klamath Falls section on the
through trunk line between the
North Pacific coast and California,
and more recently It was announc-
ther plans, made many years ago.

sum running into many millions
in furtherance of its plans, and
had announced the main features
of its proposed construction.
