Three Months One Month ..J5.00 2.76 .. 1.50 - .65 SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1925' SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW (Continued from page 1) .Conclusive proof of the faith which the people of Klamath Falls had in Strahorn was given at the bond election on November 14, 1916. The bonds carried by a majority of 1222 to 104. In all the city there were only 104 people who protested voting $300,000 to turn over to Strahorn on. the strength of - his rich promises of rail roads and development and prosperity. On election day, .we find Strahorn making another statement for publication .in the Evening' Herald. He is quoted in this wise : "The success of the bonds means the continuation of . the railroad from Klamath Falls very soon and its early completion to connect with the line from Bend to Lake view. Klamath Falls gets railroad connections not only with all parts of Central Oregon, but with Portland, saving more than 100 miles in the distance to Portland." . It is also worthy of note that the people' of Lakeview also stood ready to give Strahorn the needed financial Sacking, in view of-his promise to connect the county seat of -the "county Oregon forgot" with - the outside world. On the same day that Klamath Falls voted him $300,000, the people of Lakeview voted him $20,000 for terminals .and rights of way by an even great majority. The Lakeview vote was 249 to 9. JBy the middle of November Klamath Falls had voted Strahorn" $300,000. Lakeview had voted $20,000. Bon anza had given free right of way and terminal facil ities. Other towns of Central Oregon also " had given freely of right of way and funds. Strahorn was happy. His heart was full to overflowing. He promised that he would do his best to have his line completed to Bairy by the following July. But a week later the change came suddenly and with out warning. - Strahorn had received all that he asked. To use his own words, he was surprised at the vote of commence given him. On November 22, 1916,' he cast the first vote of warning. After a discussion of ' his"" finances, he is quoted as follows: ; . . , "It is therefore apparent that my. hands are tied and further progress is impossible until all this financial as sistance is placed in definite form for' pur bankers to pass upon. '..',-".:. v. "Responsibility for delay in commencing construction now rests with you people alone." It would take weeks of research and many pages of newspaper space to detail the uncertain history of the Strahorn line from the date of the bond election down to the present time. -,' -: Suffice it to say that the line was not built to Dairy, nor to Olene during the following year. Delays became frequent, or almost continuous. Financial difficulties vere encountered by Strahorn, but always, ,the files reveal, he sought to place the blame partly on the shoulders of the people, whose -faith in him and his program .had caused them to give him $300,000 for a '"partnership" in his railroad. . r . . - Newspaper files do not reveal just ' what Lakeview ever did with the $20,000 it voted for right Of way and terminal facilities. But Lakeview has not yet received its railroad. Indeed, it was only this week, nine years later, that Strahorn called off hi3 surveyors who were .locating a line to that section. The line to Bonanza has not been built. The Bonanza , Railroad Promotion club has long since ceased to. exist. There is not even any indication that Strahorn within another, nine years will project his promised line to Bend. - ..... ., . , . . . None of these promises of 1916 has been kept. All that Klamath county has for its years of faith and work and money is an uncertain $300,000 interest in a little 40-mile road to Sprague River, over which a mixed train operates once a clay along a roadbed that is in dire need of repair. ;.'.. --'.;;:.. -":-.--- ". '',. This is the man who now asks an exclusive franchise to cross Sixth street; the man whose attorney says that "Hell will freeze over a thousand years before we will allow a common-user on any part of ' our line." This is the man who seeks to "bottle up" Klamath Falls and thus prevent other railroads from gaining access to this city ; railroads whose promises; w iil be kept, and who will begin an era of rail construction in Central Oregon that will make this fertile land indeed an "EMPIRE AWAKENING." . , .
