Lumbcrlogue To Change Date of .
Publication; It: Will Be Issued
. Hereafter Wednesday Afternoon
Starting this week, Lumberlogue will be issued each
Wednesday afternoon. Installation of new mechanical
equipment and other composing room changes make it
advisable to change the date of publication of Lumber
logue. Incidentally, the change will make it possible to put
out a paper for the mill workers and lumber jacks that
is even better than those which have gone before.
So when you fellows don't get your Lumberlogue next
Monday afternoon, don't start cussing; just remember
that the date has been changed, and keep your eyes
peeled for. Wednesday's Herald, which will contain the
usual 6 page Lumberlogue section.
So if you want to read the newsiest and best Lumber
logue yet issued, just wait until Wednesday.
So the People May Know
Up until the date of the special $300,000 bond election
on November 14, 1916, the history of the Strahorn rail
road "promotion . in Klamath county and Central Oregon
is one of glowing promises on the part of Strahorn, and
one of willing acquiescence on the part of the people.
Even the people of Portland became enthused over
the rail possibilities of this empire, and on November 1,
1916, newspaper files show that the Portland Chamber
of Commerce adopted a resolution pledging its support
to Strahorn in his enterprise, and offering to aid him
in such manner as he might elect. '
At a banquet held in Klamath Falls on November 9,
1916, Strahorn as always, was the chief speaker. Again
he reiterated his pledge not to stop at Sprague River
but to build on into Bend and into Lakeview.
. On November 11,' 1916," a monster rally for women
was held here at the opera house, and once more we find
him saying that the Strahorn line would be a great aid
to the Southern Pacific; that two rail lines for this sec
lion would be better than one. '
At that rally he predicted that his railroad line would
bring a payroll to Klamath Falls that would 'more than
offset interest on the $300,000 bond issue. To quote him
in his own words: .
"From constant inquiries I have been receiving from
men of means, by the time 'the first 50 miles of tho
road are built there. will be such an influx of capital
and home-seekers and such development of tovns and
increase in new taxable property that the taxes to be
levied for months will never be felt."
t That was nine years ago, on the eve of the bond elec
tion, but as a reminder it is well to state here and now
that the first 50 miles have not yet been built, and
there is no indication at the present time when these
50 miles of steel will be laid.
