were printed at Klamath Falls. 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.
Third, acquisition of an lulrri ht ii
.he Oregon, California and fcasterj
Hallway (tho Strahorn llnei, suiijcw

uecestary financial support to etler :
these lines eastward to the l, 'iki;, .(.

having made applications to cover
these extensions.

was announced that the Southern Pa

sro. for serving th;s tcrr.lory, In

During all of this time, from DM
