DETAILS GIVEN
OF HILL PLANS
FRISCO PAPER TELLS
OF ROADS.
Says Louis W. Hill llaa ltoon Over
Strahorn Survey and Kxamlued
County Near Kureka Ap
parent Arrauanient.
The San Francisco Chronicle- print
ed the following recently regarding
the construction of railroads In
Northern California and Southern
Oregon, which, if done, means much
to Klamath Falls.. The proposed
route leads from this city down the
Klamath River to Trinidad, on which
route railroad speculation has been
talked for several years. It would
place Klamath Falls within a few
hours of the ocean, and would make
this city a central shipping point
- lor a large territory in Eastern and
Southern Oregon. The grade down
the Klamath river is said to be ex
cellent. Following is the story:
Revealing a radical rearrangement
of the railroad map of Northern Cal
ifornia and Oregon, the Chronicle
has received information from an ap
parent authentic source of the plan
of the Hill lines to enter San Fran
cisco by the way of Eureka.
Corroboration of this information
has been secured, disclosing negotia
tions for a trackage arrangment by
which Hill would assume one-thrld of
the cost of the Eureka-San Francis
co line of the Northwestern Pacific.
The new construction involved in
this comprehensive readjustment in
cludes: A Hill lines to build south from
Bend, Oregon, in conjunction with
the Strahorn project to Klamath
Falls, and thence by the way of Klam
ath river to the coast at Trinidad, a
few miles north of Eureka, where a
junction would be made with the
present line through Sausalito.
B Southern Pacific to build the
coast connection ' from' Trinidad to
Marshfield, bringing the gap in the
proposed coast route to Portland and
doing away with the high grade haul
over the Siskiyou on the Shasta
route.
C Construction of the detour and
tunnel to avoid . the present grade
over the Willits hill, thus opening
the entire coast line as a low-grade
route between San Francisco and
Portland.
' It was a secret trip made by Louis
Hill personally to Eureka two months
ago that gave the clew which re
sulted in the discovery of these rad
ical plans.
Hill went to Eureka, stayed at the
home of a personal triend and left
without being recognized. The in
formation which' comes to the Chron
icle is that he went to Eureka by the
Klamath river road and trails.
Unusual as such a trip may appear
tor the head of a great transconti
nental railroad system, friends of
Hill say that it is not unusual for
him to make such personal reconnals
unces of new territory. Furthermore
It has been learned that in the pre
ceding fall he had gone over the
Eastern Oregon section of the pro
posed new construction incognito, and
accompanied only by a chauffeur.
In connection with these disclos
ures the recent meeting of Hill and
Strahorn at Del Monte gains sig
nificance. Strahorn has secured the
rights of way between Bend and
Klamath Falls. After the Del. Monte
meeting Hill gave an Interview in
which he represented himself as
"friendly" to the Strahorn project.
But how was Hill to get south to
San Francisco after coming down the
Klamath river to the coast? This
was the question which, as long as It
remained unanswered, left the other
discoveries a mystery. And the In
formation that surveying parties, sup
posed to be working under Hill or
ders, had been seen in the Klamath
river country only added to the mys.
tery.
The solution, which reveals the
plan in a much clearer light, catuo
when It was learned that the pro
posal for a joint utto of the Kurokn
Snn Francisco line had been mudo.
"Hill believes he can force a track
age agreement from Eureka aotith,'
la the explanation which enmo from
one In close touch with Southern
Pacific executive offices. "And the
Southern Pacific and Santa Ko are
qulto willing to listen to such pro
posals. The construction in the Eel
river canyon lino cost an Immense
amount of money. If Hill wants to
assunio one-third of this cost there
will be little objection, for it is roc
ognized that the development of tho
north coast country would come much
more rapidly In this way."
- It is pointed out that tho North
western Pacific's now construction
between Willits and Kurekn Is all
with, rails and stool bridges suitable
for heavy traffic, .and that tho only
Improvement of this line necessary to
make it practicable for handling the
through freight between Portland
and San Francisco Is the elimination
of the grade over Willits hill. Sur
veyors have been - working at this
point recently.
Ever since the .through rail line
was opened to Eureka it has been
understood that the plan of the S.
P. was eventually to complete the
lino along the coast north, and thus
cut out the heavy haul over the Siski
you on the Shasta route. That this
will bo done In connection with the
Hill joint trackage agreement Is the
Information that comes' from South
ern Pacific sources. It is not ex
pected that the laying of rails on the
lines will begin while the present
war price of steel continues, but the
evidence is convincing that the big
lines have come to an understanding
over the long-standing problem of
readjustment of the San Francisco
Portland lines, and that everything
is being put In readiness to rush the
actual work after the eud of the
war, when the enormous earnings of
the railroads in the last two years
will be another incentive to development.

Wagner hoKiui to bo a ball player
before many men now In the ititino
wore bom. It was In 1801 that he
did his flrat work for the Mansfield,
Pa., club, Ho branched from tl jro
to Ohio, filially getting lmmo
Into tho roeorils for tint fjr'at time In
1806, when he played with Hluiiucu
vllln as an outfielder. He hung up
a mark of .403 for forty-four games.
Wagner spent a couple of seaaniiN
In the Atlantic Ikiikuii, playing with
Patterson, and then went to Louis
vllle, which then boasted a rluh in the
Nutlnnnl league. Ho played three
seasons In l.oulnvllle and then wna
taken with thn rluh when It was
transferred to Pittsburg, lie played
first base, third bane, and In tho out
field for Louisville, hammering the
bull each year for nvnrugos far iihimd
of .300, onri, attaining .879.
Wanner flrat driippud from the
