MEDFORD-KLAMATH TRUCK SERVICE IS HELD OPPORTUNITY l!uilnc .Man Point Out Product Could Itn Carrlrxl Kaeh Way to Mutual Advantage Development of a truck service be tween this city and Medford for tho purpose of delivering hero fresh fruit and vegetables, products of the Itogue River valley. Is. urged by George T. Collins, prominent Medford business man, Is the following letter to tho Medford Mall Tribune: "For some tlmo past, I havo been Impressed with tho possibilities of Klamath Falls as a market for ber ries, early vegetables, fruits, etc, raised In tho Rogue River valley, and on a recent visit to that section, I looked Into tho matter of their pres ent source of supply. "Practically all of this class of produce comes Into Klamath Falls from tho Sarnmento valley by ex press. Thcro Is but one train a day into Klamath, which arrives at 8:40 P. m., and theroforc, 'shipments from the south, after standing alt day In a hot express car, still havo to stay all night In tho oxprcss office, the dealers getting their shipment any where from 8 to 10 a. m. tho next day. Ono can Imaglno tho condition they aro In by that time. I have seen during tho early summer months hone-drawn express wagon moving down the main street with four to sir Iron-wheeled baggage trucks as trailers, all loaded with, produce be-. Ing delivered, the vegetables wilted and tho berries running out of the crates. Last year qtilto a few berrlos woro shipped from here, but they did not arrive In much bettor condition, as they left hero at 0 a. m. and arriv ed thcro at 6:40 p. m. by express. Even at that nowhero near the de mand was supplied. The housowlves of Klamath can Tcry llttlo fruit. WVj know this by tho quantity of fruit Jars sold by the merchants there as compared with other sections. I am satisfied that tho reason for this Is because they aro unable to obtain fruits and berries In tho fresh condi tion necessary for canning. The de mand cotild bo developed tenfold, If tho goods could be delivered In good condition. v "Tho Green Spring mountain road should be.tii good shape this spring. Trucks can travel during tho night and deliver fresh, crisp garden truck early In the morning at Klamath. Falls at probably no greater expenso than present oxprcss rates If they can travel loaded both ways. Klamath county, In my opinion, raises a super ior quality of potatoes. I havo use'd thorn at homo for two or three years and consider them bettor than tho ones that aro shipped Into Medford from Ynklma nnd jothcr distant points. Potatoes run Into weight fast and would probably furnish sufficient tonnage for tho trucks on the roturn trip, and they should be nblo to com peto with carload freight rates from outsido plolnts. Celery Is another pro duct they ralso over thcro that has out-of-tho-ordlnary quality and doubtloss thoro aro other items they havo that wo can uso, "If this matter Is followed up, I bollovo a wonderful buslnoss can be developod, that will bo mutually prof Itnblo to tho pooplo of both sections. I am fairly woll Informod as to condl tlons In Klamath county and will bo very glad indeed to assist In any way that 1 can." BENTLEY WIRE CHIEF Former Employe of Multograph Hliop .Succeed E.
