sons for the unwillingness of the

Central Oregon line from Hums to
Bend and from Bend to Klamath
Falls or lo Join the Northern lines
In building southerly from Fiend are
shown In a statement received in
Portland from Carl Gray, president
of tbo Union Pacific.
The chief objection of the Union
Pacific to Invading the Southern
Pacific's domain In Central Oregon
is that no opportunity Is afforded
tho Union Pacific to have Joint use
of .the Eugeno-Klamath Falls cut
off as a means of serving the traffic
needs of the upper Willamette val
ley. '
According to Gray's statement,
the ' Interstate commerce commis
sioner who last year heard testi
mony in the case involving the peti
tion of the Oregon public service
commission for an order requiring
the Union Pacific to build tho cast-W-west
line across tho state, correct
ly found that without giving the
Union Pacific Joint use of the Eu-gene-Klamath
Falls cut-off there
would be Insufficient traffic to Justi
fy the construction ot a line from
Burns via Bend to a connection with
the cut-off. .

v.y
Further information received here
tolay from Portland outlines In de
tail the two routes from Bend to
Klamath Falls, proposed by the Ore
gon Trunk railroad In their petition
to the Interstate commerce commis
sion for permit to build.
The formal application to the in
terstate commerce commission for a
certificate of convenience and neces
sity, which would grant the Hill
Unes permission to build, has been
made, Charles H. Carey, counsel for
the Great Northern and vice-presi
dent of the Oregon Trunk, announc
ed. -
A single line is to be constructed
from the ' present terminus of the
Oregon Tvunk railway at Bend to
Skookum, formerly known as Odell,
on the Southern Pacific railway's
Eugene-Klamath Falls line. -This
line will be 65 miles long. At Skoo-.
knm the road will branch oft along
one of two possible routes to Klam
ath Falls. One route would cross
the Southern Pacific, at Skookum
and parallel the latter line to a
point north of upper Klamath lake.
Instead of taking the course ot the
Southern Pacific to the east of up
per Klamath lake that line would
run along the west bank of the
lake, entering Klamath Falls from
a slightly northwestern direction.'
' Oilier Branch Outlined .
The other branch from Skookum
would take a southeasterly direc
tion to the Sycan river and crow
the Sprague river at a point sev
eral miles east of , the town of
Sprague River.- That route would
continue south'" front -the Sprague
river to Bonanza and then .would
turn due west to Klamath Falls,
touching the town of Olene. .V
For a short distance In the vicin
ity of Beatty, Oregon, .nnd Sprague
River the eastern . branch would
parallel the proposed line of the
Oregon-California ' & Eastern rail
way, which has been projected by
R. E. Strahorn. '
The length of the western branch
from Skookum to Klamath Falls
would be 82 miles and the eastern
line slightly more than 100 miles.
When completed the distance over
the Oregon Trunk ' railway from
Fallbridge, Wash., where It leaves
the parent road, the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle, to Klamath Falls
over the route to the west of upper
Klamath lake would -be approxi
mately 295 miles.
Stand ftt Timber Largo
While the western branch of the
proposed new road would parallel
the Southern Pacific for a great dis
tance, Vice-President Carey pointed
out that It would not necessarily he
competitive. The country to "ho
served has perhaps the largest
stand ot virgin pine timber In, the
world, nnd there Is sufficient ton
nage for both roads, he declared.
He estimated the timber resources
of the country between Bend and
Klamath Falls at 40,000,000,000
feet. , . . ; ;
Representatives ot the Shevlln
tfixon interests of Minneapolis,
which have a large mill at Bend, re
cently stated here In Washington
that another and larger mill would
be constructed at Klamath Falls.
Other lumber concerns are expected
to follow In the erection of mills
along the proposed extension. .

Vice-President Carey also , urns
eager to have It understood, that
both the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railroad, as Joint own
ers of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railway, which owns the
Oregon Trunk railway, are equally
Interested In the construction of tho
extensions. '
