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."

FLOaKNCK..Atav April B With
the interest of taw nation fixed for
months on Muscle Shoals, an Influx
of peoplo to the sllstrlet hag con
stituted a problem that has taxed
the Ingenuity of town and civic an
thorltles. Agitation of the potential strength
of "the South's Niagara" and tht
possibilities that vwer expected to
be speedily fulfilled la event of de-
velopraent of the latent war pro
ject, turned a veritable stream of
humanity In seareb of the El Do

carts, la motor cars, in day coaches
and In palatial drawing reams.
There were men with money seek
ing Investments; men In overalls
hunting work. Ther were adven
turer looking for anything tbejr
might find. Some spent money lav
sshty; others 'were wards. ef the
community and had to" be fed.
Tho problem at once became so
grave that the town authorities of
Florence, Shefflold and TusenmbU
municipalities composing the dis
trict's "trl-cltles" sent outv a warn
ing: "Stay away from Muscle
