Receiver Orders
Operation Stopped
PORTLAND, Jan. 30. V. F. Turner, receiver for the Pacific &
Kastern railway, announced here today that he would comply with tbe
ordor granted by the federal court to cease operating the railroad, and
would mnk'o no effort to continue train service over the thirty-three
mile line out of Medford, Ore., after tonight. Mr. Turner said he
understood that the state public service commission had determined it
had no power to test the court's Jurisdiction and that . unless the busi
ness Interests of Medford succeeded In their efforts to raise a fund to
make up the deficit between the road's revenues and operating ex
penses, there was slight chance of again providing train service on the
line. ,
Tentative offers have keen made, it Is understood, to buy the rail
road for scrap and also with a view to taking It over and extending It
to a connection with the Southern Pacific's Klamath Falls branch, but
none of tbe offers has reached a stage that would Indicate definitely
favorable negotiation.

came more serious today. In Belfast,
manufacturing firms generating tbolr

ply to llio speech of Hepublienn
Leader Mann in the house yesterday
declaring Secretary Daniels should be
inipeiiched for purchasim: radio sla

ceeded in nnv way toward the aeiiui
sit ion of hisrli power commercial ra
dio, stations or the huildinsr of a new
naval plant since congress failed to
aulhori.e these projects.
Thcsecretarv said Koprescntulivc

the Paclflo fc Eastern railroad, owned

'and the-railroad will be sold Within
a fortnight. -I
Receiver Turner offered to keep
' the railroad in operation for several
! months longer, . provided Medford
citizens and.Butte Falls timber own
ers put up a 125,000 cash bond to
Insure against loss in operation. Tna
railroad has been operated at a loss
since Its construction, the timber
men, upon whose promise to manu
facture it was built, falling to keep
their word. . v t: i
After several days consideration,
the Medford Commercial club com
mittee, which Includes the local lum
bermen, decided that an Indemnify
ing bond would only postpone the
final day of reckoning and probably
handlcaD. rather than help the or
ganization of a purchasing syndicate
to take over the railroad. Closure
brings about a crisis which it is ex
pected will speed up affairs and may
Jar the large timber owners, who are
the principal ones affected. Into ac

timber owners reside Jn the east, the
committee Is handicapped in securing I

MILITARY TRAINING
COMMISSION MEASURE
SALEM. Jan. 30 To establish
central officers' training euiiip nt the
University of Oregon, n military
training eominisison nnd militarv
training in the high schools of Ore
gon, is tho purpose of n prepnrednei
bill introduced yesterday bv Senator
Hurley," ; :-.,
received from Receiver Turner by
the local committee. The railroad;
which cost S2.000.000, and Is - 33
miles In length, will be sold . for
$270,000, Of which r,0,000 must be
cash, the balance at & per cent, with
a bond guarantee of Interest being
paid. Formation of a purchasing;
company will be actively undertaken
as soon as replies are received from
the timber owners as to the extent
of their cooperation.
An effort has also been launched
to interest the Southern Pacific in
taking over the P. & E. as a feeder,
inasmuch as nearly all freight orig
inating in the timber district would
furnish a long haul for the Southern
Pacific as well as the short haul and
the profits of the long haul would
offset any loss Incurred in operation.
The assistance of Colonel Frank:
H. Ray, of New York, who fluaaced
and built the California-Oregon pow
er system and numerous other enter
prises in the valley, and who Is still
one of the largest property owner
has been sought by the committee. -
It Is felt that Medford citlzons will
do their full share in helping to re
finance tho railroad, which for the
first time offers a large amount -ot
traffic in sight and whose continued
operation Is essential to the future
growth ot the community and devel-
opment of the lumber resources.
