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." .
