president of the Southern Pacific, at

Ur.
Cat-Off Promised
He said Sproule had promised
Immediate completion of tho Nat
ron 'cut-off from OakrTdgo to Klrlc
if the Central Pacific lines were re
tained, but would mako no definite
promise regarding tho lino from
Westwood, although asserting that
It woutd bo built eventually.
Should tho Westwood line be
built, however, Sproulo said it
would In hlV opinion not placo
Klamath Falls' on a parity with
Bend and Susanvillq on eastern
lumber rates, tho longer haul still
Justifying higher rates.
Grant said that whllo ho was no
partisan of tho Southern Pacific
and had gono Into tbo situation
prejudiced against that system be
cause of local rate conditions) bo
had becomo convinced that Klam
ath Falls would bo better oft If
the Southern Pacific retained, con
trol of the Central Pacific at least
of tho coast lines.
Higher Rates Seen
For Instance, ho said, tho dis
memberment' of tho Southern Pa
cific it tho Central Pacific lino

ed into other bands would result
In inconvonlonco of traffic move
ment, add to car shortage and
possibly bring higher rates.
