MAY USE JUICE TO That the Southern Pacific railroad lines throughout northern California and southern Oregon ore all to he electrified soon is the rumor that is persistent in raihoad circles. It is generally conceded that the California-Oregon Power company owners of the hij power merger, mado throughout this country recent ly when all the big plants of the country were placed under one head is backed or connected financially with the llarrimau interests. He eeutly the head offices of this com pany, which was ronnorly Iho Sis kiyou Kleelrio Power company, with offices in Yreka, have been trans ferred to San Francisco nnd this lends color to the belief that the big power merger is hacked by the South rn Pacific.

It would create disorders and confusion."
