FROHbACH. I Secretary Med ford Chamber j of Commerce. ) Attest: E. A. Welch, chairman of special committee on investigation. b A il I I The following message was sent July 10. 1922. ty the .Medtord chamber of . commerce to C. C. McChord, secretary of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, Washington, D. C: Dear sir: Business interests in this community have been studying effect enforcement recent Southern Pacific divorcement on this community and western Oregon in general. Union Pacific have publicly announc cl their desire to purchase the Central Pacific and have Intimated certain things would be done in event property of Central Pacific came under their control. We have listened to their represen tatives and have also called on the representatives of the Southern Pacific to- explain the matter from their stand point. Have also called before the; board of directors of the Medford chamber of commerce representative business men and shippers and we find i the unanimous opinion is that the I separation Central Pacific and South-1 ern Pacific lines would have mosti harmful effect on this territory. The Central Pacific as we under stand has been operated as one united line with the Southern Pacific for the Iiast forty years and forms a compet ing route from western Oregon to all eastern and southern territory. It is our opinion that if the Central Pacific Is taken from the Southern Pa cific it will result in weakening both properties and If the Central Pacific Ib owned or controlled by the Union Pa cific in any way whatsoever It will result In resorting conditions that ex isted during the Harriman merger and will result In taking away from us a competing route and nowhere will the results bebetter explained than In the case of H. D. Glle and Company, No. 3589 decided by Interstate Commerce Commission January 1912, reported 22 I. C. C. Investigation of that case shows clearly to have existed through domi nation of transportation Interests. . The supreme court's decision we understand to have been based on the Sherman Anti-Trust Law passed In 1890 and since that time conditions have materially changed as per Trans portation Act of 1920 directing the commission to arrange a plan of con solidation of railroads, and It was with' feeling of satisfaction that we ob served the commission's report of August, 1921 wherein tentatively the commission prescribes that the South ern Pacific and the Central Pacific Bhall continue as one system as In the past and further the sound ground upon which commission have acted, namely, that you have taught in your plan to minimize dismemberment of existing line of systems. Our investi gation develops what we understand to be an act that Interstate Commerce Commission now has power with which to permit Southern Pacific and Central Pacific lines to consolidate nnd In other ways to authorize their continued common ownership and con trol. Therefore: We have resolved to apprive you of our conclusions, namely First: That It is the unanimous opin ion of business nnd shipping Interests of this community and we observe from the press reports that the busi ness interests In the territory served by the Southern Pacific In western and southern Oregon are strongly opposed to the separation of these lines. Second: That we Join In the recom mendation and will support continued existence of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific as a common property and Third: We will support all measures to the end that separation of these lines will not, be permitted, and we respectfully suggest that the commis sion take action In accord with the authority extended to them by the HIGH PRAISE FOR ITER L. Crater !ake in one of the most won derful spots of scenic beauty in North Aniericn, In the opinion of (iordon Le, head of the automotive division of the department of com ment in Washington, D. C., who la a Portland visitor, registered at the Multnomah hotel. The right kind of advertising would bring tourists from all over the world here bo fast that they could not be accommodated, according to Mr. Le, who says that the sfght-neeing public has yet to be convinced that trater Lake Is all that it is pictured. There must be some way thought up to satisfy their minds that the lake and the park are all they are purported to be, he said. The beauty of the place nnd the color ing of the lake are things Mr. Lee believes he will never forget and they are the things which have the latent power to bring thousands of tourists from this country and abroad to Ore gon every year. There is nothing Jike it in this country or any other, he said, and he intimated that many Oregonlans with whom he has talked know little or 'nothing of this beauty spot, right at their door, Mr. Lee Is making an extensive tour of the United States. While in the city he spoke before the Ad club and has ar ranged a meeting with the Automo bile Dealers' association. Portland Oregonian. PREPARE FOR GREAT DAT OF GOD IS THE I "We are living on the threshold of eternity, the long dark night of sin is nearly ended, and the break of eternal morn is already upon us. Make haste, do not delay. Christ Standeth at the door of your heart, pleading for admittance. 5le wants you to commit your case to him. He is the great lawyer. Hurry! Hurry!! Do not wait." Withthese words Evangelist T. L. Thuemler appealed to his audience at the big tent last night to prepare for the great day of God, after re minding them that for more than 70 years the Judgment has been In pro gress in Heaven nnd soon the work will be finished, nnd then Christ will come. Ho said that when this work Is completed the fate of mankind will I not have another chnnce to escape the punishment of the wicked.
