RAILROAD MEWS
Portland Paper Says Lakeview
Is to Be a Railway Center
The Portlaud Journal ot the 2oth
alt., haa this to aay of the raProad
eltuatlon affecting Lakeview:
Reports that are lu circulst'ou to
day incline railroad men to believe
tbat E. H. Harrlman not only pro
noaes to purchase the narrow guage
Nevada, California & Oregon, which
has a 184 mile line from Keuo, Ne
vada, to Alturaa and extend it on to !
Klamath Falls where connection can
be made with the Central Oregon
Hue, but that another branch of the
Hue will tx) extended from Lakeview
in a northeasterly dlrectlou to Hunt
ington, Caldwell or Prairie City.
Reason for the belief la the evident
fact that Mr. Harrlman dealrea open
ing up Southeastern Oregon if prac
ticable, ana that an extension oi me
Alturaa-Lakeview Hue, after It has
been converted into a standard guage
road, would be the beat solution.
With the formation of a wye at
Lakeview, perhaps, one arm to extead
to Klamath Falln, or some feasible
polut ou the projected Oregon Eastern
thus allowing an almont straight ran
from Portland to Salt Lake City, b.v
wuy of Reno. Nevada, the terminal
ot the Nevada-California Oregon line,
and the extenslou of tha other arm to
Hunting, Caldwell or Prarle City, tbe
Harrlman Hues would have the
southern and part ot the central part
of the state uuder rail completely.;
Such a aystem would permit tne
running of the Npokane trains to San
Franolaco and California points lu al
mont a direct Hue, cutting Portland
oft that route. Trains could lie run
fron Spokane aud northern points to
Pendleton, thence down the O. R. &
N. to Huntinirtou' or whatever the
tinctiou point might lie, thence to
akevlew aud aoutb either by way ot
Klamath Falls or Reno, Nevada.
Btra'ght runs will theu be the rule.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or., March
25. Some months ago It was announc
ed tbat the Southern PaoiUo would
make a bid for some of tba Spring
travel for Lake county. Now comes
tbe announcement that A. P. Cross,
owner of the stage line between Klam
ath Falls and Lakeview, is to pot two
1H passenger automobiles on the run
between the two places, to be ran iu
connection with tbe Southern Pacific
whioh will sell through tiokets to
Lakeview. Lake county people bava
always complained about the poor ser
vice on the narrow gauge railroad to
Alturas, and it Is safe to aay that Mr.
Cross will bava tba assistance of many
of tbe business men of Lakeview in
diverting the travel to Klamath Falls.
It is expected that trains will begin
operation to Klamath Falls by tba
first of May, about tbe time tbat tbe
rush to Lake County will begin.

It is now defluitely settled tbat
Lakeview is to bava steamer service
on Goose Lake in tbe very near
future.
Tbe gentleman interested, Mr. W.
B. Shirley who has thoroughly inves
tigated the project is an experienced
steamboat man from Kansas City. He
bas given personal attention to the
sounding of tbe lake, and also to tbe
matter of dredging tbe creek to the
foot of Slash street, so tbat both
freight and passengers can be deliver
ed within half a mile ot the center of
town.
Mr. Shirley bas gone to San F an
Cisco for the purpose of securing plans
for tbe steamer, and also to purchase
the necessary machinery for the same.
It Is bis purpose to build a 2u0-ton
steamer, with screw propeller, com
plete and up to date in every oartiou
lar, for tbe safe and cheap handling
of passengers and freight.
The Lake is 15 miles long, and 15
miles wide and is probably tbe largest
body of water in tba oountrv tbat as

there baa assessed tbe sheep. Tbe
sheep properly belong to this oounty
and range on tne mountain i"na nere
nine months or mora of tbe year. It
doea not look Ilka fair shake fur

to Blob taxes from Lake county in

purpose fighting double taxation of

Everyone here who knows tbe old

wish tbat be may succeed in his laud
ible endeavor.
Tbe Klamath Indians are busy on

The Alturas Plaindealer says tbat
the altitude of Lakeview as given by

whether our beads are la tbe clouds
or our feet in tba Paoila.
