- Capacity Increased
Specifications call tor equipment
for a' 4500 horsepower plant. Or
iginally It waa planned that the
plant should have a generating ca
pacity of 2500 kilowatts, but the
capacity has been increaaed to 3500.
Test pita and borings for the
foundation have been made' and
surveys run tor the 4300 toot canal
and Pipe line that will carry water
for operating the plant from the
Lluk river dam to the plant site.
Twelve hundred feet will be open
canal and 3200 feet closed conduit.
The water will have a forty foot
drop, at -the -power site. -
About ten men are now employed
in prelminary work, for' founda

LAKES ROUTEI
Southern Pacific Will Be
Asked By Chamber To
Adopt Suggestion '
Whllo the citizens' of Eugene are
asking .that the name "Natron cut
off" be changed to "Eugene-Klam-ath
Falls cut-off," declaring the
former name to be a misnomer,
Klamath Falls citizens are begin
ning to ask why "Eugene," and why
not Klamath cut-off" or "Klam
ath Lakes route"? ,
Realising that Invaluable public
ity will fall to tbe city whose name
la Incorporated In the name of the
now route, Eugene came to the front
with her offering, pointing out that
tho town ot Natroa no longer exists,
and tbe chamber of commerce there
has started a campaign to bavo the
name adopted. t
Why Eugene?
Now comes the Klamath cham
ber with tbe question: Why Eu
gene? Since the line is being built
from the Klamath terminus of the
Weed-Klsmath route, and alnce the
line will traverse some 150 miles of
Klamath county, all of which is in
comparable from a scenic standpoint,
and which, contains nine well-known
lakes and scores ot lesser ' ones,
President W. O, Smith ot the cham
ber suggests '"Klamath Lakes
route," as the permanent name to
be adopted by the Southern Pacific
and to be used in all subsequent
publicity.
, Smith points out that not only
does the new route follow the shore
of Klamath lake, the largest body
of fresh water west ot the Rockies,
for some 35 miles, but It also gives
access to a group of lakes on the
crest of the Cascade range whose
scenic attractions are unequaled any
where In the United States, and
whose trout fishing is without peer.
According to State dame Warden
Burghduff, Diamond lake alone ot
ters the best rainbow trout fishing
ot any lake in the country.
Mecca Of Tourists
Then there la Crater lake, one of
the (tenders of the world, mecca of
tourists from everywhere. And Cra
ter lake is in Klamath county and
will bo only 20 miles from the new
lino.
Lako of tho Woods, Croscont lake.
Odcll lake. Four Mllo lake and a
scoro or more ot others, all go to
make Klamath county tho "lake
region of tho Cascades," and are
certain to attract thousands of visi
tors annually ovor tho Klnma'tli
Lakes routo.
Thoreforo tho Southern Pacific
will bo naked by tho chamber of
commerce to adopt "Klamath Lakes
route" as tbo official numu. Not
only will this mime bo a success
from nn advertising standpoint for
tho railroad company, but H will
incorporate tho name "Klamath,"
and at tho same time not detract
from any other community on the
now , lino. '
Public Is Consulted
President Win., Sjiroulo of the
Southern Pacific, during hla recent
vlalt hero, told tho commltteo gnth
ored to meet hi in that tho railroad
company could not arbitrarily fix a

moro than it could establish tho

Movement Launched
At an Informal meeting of a group
last night In the chamber of com
merce rooms, the movement waa
launched without dissenting voice.
For why, say - the modernists,
should It be called Klamath Falls,
when the nearest falls are good
day's trkvel away. The name la mis
leading, and bo efficiency expert
would countenance for a moment
the waste of time and energy that
local residents, especially hotel em
ployees, trainmen, chamber of com
merce workers, and others who come
In direct contact with tbe tourist.
devote to answering the futile ques
tion of the stranger: "How do we
get out to the falls?"
Has To Confess
Today nothing ot the cagrln and
embarrassment of the Klamathlte,
whose' only course Is to confess that
there are no falls, that there are a
few rapids in Link river, but no real
falls.
Then, too, they claim, a . lot ol
time and energy Is wasted In pro
nouncing, two words, Then one
would -be sufficient for, tdenttflca
tlon, and more expressive.
So tbe postoftice department Is to
be asked to shorten the postoftice
address to Klamath, and the railway
company is to be requested to ab
breviate the name, of the station.
