- A meaning beyond technical
golf, in the fact that Hagen, an
American player, was first, in
the annual :British cliaiiipion
shp, open to all players. Also
in the fact that Farrell, an
'American, was. second, and Ke
gel, an American, was third.
Ilapen has won: the "open"
four times iii all, and twice in
succession. An ' American
played the difficult. 18 holes in
07 strokes, far under "par,"
breaking all records.
Oolf, in itself unimportant,
like chess and other games pro
ducing no result, is highly im
portant,' iu its proof of power
to concentrate continuously.
To play golf as those three
young Americans played it,
amazing and defeating the Brit
ish, proves that something in
this country, promotes intense
concentrated effort. To that
concentration we owe our in
dustries, our prosperity'," our
amazing growth.

John S- Owen, President of
Big Timber Concern An-

Vast Timber Wealth
Take Fruit Tonnage.
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.,

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'

There have been mony reports
regarding the extension of the
Owen-Oregon lines, but the state

most definite.
