years. The very elusiveness of the
story and the apparent impossibility
, and mystery surrounding It. gives
1 one the Impression that there is real
' ly something back of It, and that
when the full facts are brought out
it will reveal the plan for another
railroad.
It has its origin in the fact that
quite recently there started a buying
of Main street property, together
with the taking of options on va
cant lots along this thoroughfare.
All of these transactions hare been
carried on with the positive injunc
tion upon those Identified with them
that absolute secrecy must me main
tained, and so well have these in
structions been followed that noth
ing of a tangible nature has been di
vulged. But like all things of tha
kind, there is sure to be a leak. andt.
the first one made Its appearance?
yesterday afternoon and it Is grow
ing in importance today, until the
whole things is coupled up with the
construction of a railroad from this
city to Eureka, California, down th
Klamath river.
This is not the first time such a
project has been considered. Ephe
I m era I as it may seem, such a line
jvould open up one of the richest
meral as it may seem, such a line
territories on the Coast. It is the
most feasible line that could be
built to tidewater from the interior.
It is not a new thing, for such a line
was surveyed years ago by H. V.
Gates, former owner of the light and
water plant of this city, and one ot
the ablest engineers the west has
ever known. The result of his labors
which were performed for one of ths
b 1 g transcontinental companies,
showed that a line down the Klamath
river could be constructed on a one
per cent grade and would open up
one of tho biggest undeveloped tim
ber b,elts on the Coast. This timber
Is owned by tho government and
will be sold to any concern construct
ing such a line on terms and under
Mich conditions as to make the in
vestment a most profitable one.
The Inn easing demand for timber
and tho great future looming for the
lumber market is sure to draw tho
attention of the big timber people In
the diiection ot the Klamath rlvor
project, and it may be that this has
already been done and accounts for
the rumojed activity In business
property, for such a line would cer
tainly make of Klamath Falls a real
Spokane.
