Arguments in this case will bo heard by the commission at Washington March 27. Exoaptlons Cited ' "The exceptions to the report of the examiner, filed by the Oregon Trunk and signed by the Northern Pacific and Clrcat Northorn (ench owning a one-half interest in the Oregon Trunk) express correctly tle view taken by the Northern lines of 'the questions now pending beforo the interstate commerce commission, and there is little that can be added to what they convey "We have stated that we now have under aerlous consideration the pos sible construction of a railroad which would reach Klamath Falls. Thia ia the exact truth. It may be said, In deed, that In building the Oregon Trunk to Bend, the Northern lines realised that this construction put them In contact with the ibimense timber resources of that region; and, of course, It was their purpose to keep their own facilities for serving the region fully abreast of Its devel opment. Expsnslon Seen "The Indications st present are that the lumbering Industry In the vicinity of Klamath Falls will undergo, in the comparatively near future, a very considerable expansion. How soon this will take place is uncertain, be cause there Is, I believe some divi sion of sentiment among the leadera of that Industry aa to whether It ia not now expanding too rapidly. "But, however, this msy be, our purpose In building into this terri tory waa to supply its trsnsportstion needs snd,' speaking for the Northern Pacific, I do not hesitate to say that ours will be extended whenever It shall be made to appear that the available traffic will yield a return on the capital Investment required for its extension."
