While our nelghhora of Klamath Falls
vehemently deny it, and aay there ia
some mistake about it that the report
ia erroneous, atill there appears to lie
some foundation for the rumor that the
Oregon Midland Railway from Klain
sthon, on the Southern Pacific to Klam
ath Falls, may not be built. In this
connection the Reading Free Press has
the following:
"The people of Siskiyou and South
ern Oregon are much exercised over the
rumor that the Oregon Midland Bailway,
which waa to run from Klamath Falls,
in Oregon, to a point on the mainline
near llombrook, in Siskiyou county,
may not la built. The information has
dampened some large hopes, for the new
line waa exiected to oien up a large
lielt of the choicest tinilier and also agri
cultural land. In fact, the lino was ex
pected to give a tremendtious iuielUH to
all Siskiyou county.
The enterprise w as projected by Chi
cago railroad men. Mirveys are com
plete and contracts for supplies have
already Uen let. Late advices from the
Windy City are very discouraging. The
real cause of the hitch is not yet under
stissl. The people of Siskiyou are sin
cerely hoping that the obstacle, what
evar it is, will tie surmounted and the
work proceed.
