Declaring that It members have
bcon hampered In endeavoring to do
business In California and western
Oregon, nnd that "It I very ap
parent thJ Southern Pacific's con
trol of transportation n that ter
ritory Is exerted st'alnst us," the
Western Pine Manufacturers asso
ciation, with headqnartera In Port
land, has gone on record as favor
ing the unmcrger ot the Kouthern
Pacific and Central Pacific. The
statement Issued by the association
follews:
The Central Pacific has a linn
that wilt enablo to operate to the
Oregon state line from San' Fran
cisco, and by completion of thu
fSatron cut-off It can reach Eugene.
It tho supreme court decision be
carried out, It Is reasonable to as
sume that the Southern Paclflo
would obtain Joint "possession and
uo of the Central Paclfie lines
from Tehama In California to tho
Oregon state line, and the Central
Pacific would obtain like ase of the
Southern Pacific line la Oregon to
Portland.
Joint Use Detlrabla
This Joint use by the two com
panies would mean competition and
Increased buslneas, with Improved
service, additional car supply,
greater lumber purchases, and bet-
" -- ...-.. .
Portland and San Francisco, and It
tho Central Pacific be acquired by
the Union Paclfie, or If the Unien:
Pacific could effect friendly traf
fic relations with the Central Pa
cific for western Oregon business,
it might well result In the comple
tion of the line projected by tho
Union Pacific In 1905 from Na
tion, near Eugene, to Ontario across
the state of Oregon.
In 1901 Mr. llarriman, then In
control of thu Union Pacific, under
took to obtain the Central Pacific,
but to do so found It necessary to and
did buy control of the Southern Paci
fic, which in turn had control ot the
Central Pacific. Tho Southern Pacific
controlled a lino ot railroad extending
from New Orleans through Louisi
ana, Texas, Now Mexico, Arizona,
California and, Oregon, to Portland,
reaching Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco, with branch linea Into tribu
tary" territory. The Union Pacific con
trol thu acquired In 1901 continued
until 1913.
Oregon Kastcra Organltcd
In' the meantime, and In 1905, It
organized tho Oregon Eastern rail
waj ompany, with authority to build
a lino from Natron near Eugene
across the state of Ortgon to Ontario,
with Klamath and Deschutes line
connecting at Odell and lino extend
ing south to Lakeview. The Oregon
Eastern started at once to survey the,
routes in question, and acquired both
private and glvernment rights of
way, und proceeded with construc
tion north from Klamath Falls, south
f from Natron and west from the On
tario brunch. It ulso purchased tbo
lino from Klamath Falls to Weed.
In November, 1910, the Oregon
Washington Railroad Navigation
company was organised and the Oro
gon Eastern conveyed to it the line
froar Odell (point of connection to
Klamath Falls) across the state to
Ontario, and In tho spring ot 11)13 It
conveyed the line from Natron vis
Klamath Falls to Wed to the Can
tral Pacific. Construction on the Ut
ter lino had been suspended In ths
meantime, and in December, 1911,
tho supremo court ot the United
States hold that tbo Unloa Pacific
was u parallol and competing line far
transcontinental business wlththa
long south lino ot the' Boutlera;V
clflo through Los Angeles aad W
