So II. I). Mortenson Say When Hero
Idist Week Town Is Only Wait
ing to Hear What Wishes Arc.
That Klamath Falls Is united In
its support of Robert E. Strahorn
nnd his projected railroads was the
statement made by II. D. Mortenson,
of that city, when hero on tho occas
ion of the meeting of the Western

Falls, being connected with the Pel
ican Hay Hmmbor Co.. He la also
president of the California Pine Man
ufacturers Association,
According to Mr. Mortenson Klnm
nth has not yet been able to show Its
Interest definitely because It has not
yet been told by Mr. Strahorn Just
what he desires from Uio town. As
soon ns he makes his wishes known,
however, thero will bo no doubt of
tho town's meeting them.
In tho minds of the Klamath peo
ple, Mr. Mortenson says, the big
thing ts In getting other outlets for
tho town besides tho single ono to
the south which they now have. This
Is as much tho feeling of the lumber
Interests ns of nny other part of the
town nlthough they expect that the
now roatl will open competing tracts
of timber.
Mr. Mortenson was much pleased
with llend and had many kind words
to say of the town nnd Its prospects.
