CONCESSION TO RIVAL,
Move Throws Klamath Basin Open
to Competitive Railway
Development
PORTLAND, June 11. AP)
The use of its new Cascade line
from Paunina to Klamath Falls
and a half interest in the Stra
horn line from Klamath Falls
into tJie timber area has been
granted the Great Northern rail-
i-road bv the Southern Pacific line.
it was announced here today, fol
lowing an agreement reached by
the two railroads.
The outstanding result of this
agreement, traffic experts here
say, is that there will he compe
titive railway development of the
Klamath basin without wasteful
duplication of .railway facilities.
Only 45 miles of new railroad
construction Is involved in the en
tire project, it was pointed out.
Today's move brings the Great
Northern line to the northern
boundary of California. In less
than thirty day's time, the Great
Northern has arranged for exten
sion of its operations from Spo
kane, Wash., on its main trans
continental line, to Klamath Falls,
in south central Oregon, a distance
of 5 4 8 miles.
The Strahorn line, officially
known as the Oregon-California
and Eastern, upon which the
Southern Pacific has an option,
and in which it has agreed to sell
a half interest to the Great North
ern, extends forty miles from
Klamath Falls in a northeasterly
direction.
While the formal announcement
of the two railway presidents
made no mention of proposed ex
tensions of the Strahorn line, it
was generally believed here that
the agreement provides that such
extensions shall be undertaken
jointly by the Southern Pacific
'Controlled on Fag-0 S.)
