George Collins Points Out Big
Opportunity for Local Truck
Gardners- California Now
Monopolizes the Klamath
County Field.
To the Cdttor:
For some time past. I huve been
impressed with the possibilities of
Klamath Falls as a market for ber
ries, early vegetables, fruits, etc.,
raised in the Rogue River valley, and
on a recent visit to that section. I
looked Into the matter of their pres
ent source of supply.
Practically all of this class of pro
duce comes into Klamath Falls from
m oacramento valley oy express.
There la but one train a dav Into
Klamath, which arrives at 6:40 n. m..
and therefore, shipments from the
south, after standing all day in a hot
express car. still have to stay all night
in the express office, the dealers get
tlnar their shipments anywhere from
S to 10 a. m., the next day. One can
imagine the condition they are in by
that time. I have eeen during the
early summer months a horse-drawn
express wagon moving down the main
street with four to six iron-wheeled
baggage trucks as trailers, all loaded
with produce being delivered, the
vegetables wilted and the berries run
ning- out or tne crates. Last year i
quite a few berries were shipped from j
here, but they did not arrive In much
better condition, as they left here at I
a. m., and arrived there at 6:40
p. m.. by express. Even at that no-
where near the demand was supplied.
The housewives of Klamath can very
little fruit. We know this by the
quantity of fruit Jars sold by the mer
chants there as compared with other
sections. I am satisfied that the
reason for this is because they arc
unable to obtain fruits and berries In
tho fresh condition necessary for
canning. The demand could be de
veloped tenfold, if the goods could
be delivered in good condition.
The Green Spring Mountain road
should be in good Bhape this spring.
Trucks can travel during the night
and deliver fresh, crisp garden truck
early in the morning at Klamath
Kails at probably no greater ex
pense than present express rates,
if they can travel loaded both ways.
Klamath county, in my opinion.
raises a superior quality of potatoes.
1 have used them at home for two or
three years and consider them better
than the ones that are shipped into
Med ford from lakima and other dis
tant points. Potatoes run into weight
fast and would probably furnish suf
ficient tonnage for the trucks on the
return trip, and they should be able
to compete with carload freight rates
from'., outside points. Celery is
another product they raise over
there . that has out-of-the-ordlnary
quality and doubtless there are other
items they have that we can use.
If this matter is followed 'up, I
believe a wonderful business can be
developed, that will be mutually
profitable to the people of both sec
tions. I am fairly well informed as
to conditions in Klamath county and
will be very plad indeed to assist In
any way thut I can.
Very Truly fours.

(By the Associated Press.)
For the first time in the history of
the coal industry, both bituminous
and authracite coal fields virtually
were idle today as the result of the
cessation of work by 600,000 miners
efective at midnight last night. Union
officials asserted that 100,000 non
union miners were included In the
walkout and that 6,000 of the 7,500
mines in the country were shut down.
The first day of the national sus
