Ore fun. September I. The News article Id part Is as follows: The Southern Pacific has announced a very definite program fur construc tion centering In Klamath Falls. The Dew lines proposed under these plans (ire a direct rout for through traffic from southern Oregon, northern Cali fornia, western Oregon and the North Pacific Coast generally via Klamath Falls to the east through Ogden. They give the timber districts tributary to Klamath Falls railroads that will bring logs and lumber of southern Oregon and northern California to tills city. Likewise, these lines will develop the agricultural regions of (tils same section. Briefly then, comprehensive plan has been adopted that gives all the necessary local service for the development of north ern California and southern Oregon anJ ties In therewith a direct railway service to all too markets of the I'nlleJ States that may be made tribu tary to the Klamath Falls section, and In this construction of new lines Klamath Falls is the center. . Step. Taken by 8. P. To Ibis end the Southern Pacific has taken the following steps: First, finishing construction or the Natron cutoff, as a through lice which will be don by midsummer of next year at an expense of approxi mately $23,000,000, In addition lo money already Invested In the Klamath Falls - Eugene (Jaltrldg branches. Second, the acquisition, subject n lb approval of the Interstate com merce commission, of all the commoi stock and th bonds of the Nev.vtt California-Oregon Hallway, cxicnd.L , from Wendel, California, near Susn , vllle, lit miles northward to I.ilt lew, Oregon.

As soon as Die Inter state tammerce commission did finally d!poe of it by sustaining the claim of the Southern Pacific to Its owner chip, work was actively begun upon he Natron cutoff, to put the Klamath Kalis section on the throuch trunk line between the North Pacific Count and California, ard more reccutly It was announced that the Southern Pa cific's further planB, made many years sro. for serving th;s tcrr.lory, In cluding a direct line to the t act, would be carried out promptly. During all of this time, from DM on, the Oregon Trunk, terminal Ins at Lend, 148 miles north of Klam.itU Falls, unhumpered by any lcpal diffi culties, did not see Its way cliar to hiako any rx.ensloti southward into (Lis territory.
