The Owen-Oregon Lumber com pany of this city, has under con- Klderation the extension of Its logging railroad from Butte Falls, the center of Its logging operations to Klamath Falls, according to a statement today by John 8. Owen of Kau Claire, Wisconsin, president of the timber concern. "I think our railroad should be extended to Klnmuth Fulls, and orders have been Issued by the board - of directors to James H. Owen, general manager to proceed with the survey. We are going to find out if a line Is practical, and It Is certainly worth investigating," sold John S. Owen. James 11. Owen, general man agor, said that pursuant to Instruc tions he would have a surveying crew in the field iii a short time. The present rnilroad line from Medford to Butte Fulls- is u stan dard guage,. heavily railed . and heavily ballasted, 32 miles long. It was formerly., the Pacific & Eastern,, purchased., by. the Owen .Oregon company when they start ed operations here. 1 The V. He' K. was formerly, owned by Hill Inter ests, and. was built with a view of extension to Klamath Falls und Bend, a decadu ago. The Owen-iOregon company huB a logging railroad operating out of Butte Fulls; and is the onu to be extended. The distance to Klam ath Falls' is' about 40 miles. The district is rich in virgin timber, wnn easy water graues. inree years ago James H. Owen made a personal trip over the district, and reported 'a route was feasible for the ' construction of a railroad." He later sent out a surveying crew. Last year a surveying crew was in the field making preliminary sur veys. ' . It is known from sources outside the Owen-Oregon1 Lumber com pany that they have long been In terested in the extension of .their present logging operations, so It will tap a large volume .of timber on the divide between their pres ent holdings In eastern Jackson oounty and the Weyerhaeuser holdings, and give them a direct route east. . W est Roule Too nig Asked regarding the report that the Owen-Oregon company was concerned with the construction of a railroad to Crescent City, Calif., John S. Owen said: "That is too big a proposition for us." . The Weyerhaeuser company Is now building a logging railroad to their holdings on Spencer creek, In Klamath county, and the two extensions would be in touch with each other. Resides developing the timber Industry, the proposed extension would open a new summer recrea tional area, and provide fruit ship ments of the Rogue River volley with a shorter route east. It was unofficially announced lust week that the Southern Pacific contem plated routing fruit shipments via Alturas, Calif., as soon as possible, going from hero to Weed, Calif., then to Klamath Falls, and then over the A It u ran cut-off, thus sav ing 1- hours in transit, a day on the fruit auction market, and avoiding the icing congestion at Rnneville, Calif. The proposed new route would save the trip to Weed' and halfway back. There have been mony reports regarding the extension of the Owen-Oregon lines, but the state ment of John S. Owen today Is the most definite. John S. Owen, accompanied by his brother, William C. Owen of l'ontlac, Mich., leaves tomorrow nisht for his home in Knu Claire.
