To Prepare For

For the purpose ot obtaining in

which will be useful at the I. C. C.
hearing ot the petition of the
Northern lines to enter this terri
tory, C. A. Hart of Portland, mem
ber of the firm of Carey & Kerr,
is here today.
He is accompanied by L. C. GiJ
nian of Seattle, vice president of the
Great Northern.
"Our visit has little immediate
significance," Hart said.
"When the Northern lines pre
sent their case, I will in all. prob
ability represent them. It is neces
sary that I he familiar with condi
tions hero and for this reason I
will visit here several times this
summer."
Hart emphasized that before the
Northern lines can enter this sec
tion it must be shown that an
actual necessity exists. It is be
cause ot this that the present ex
tensive surveys are under way. The
Northern lines must select a route
and at the hearing prove that tho
route as selected will serve a defi
nite need.

Mr. Eberlein, but it did not take
the bitter resentment towards him.
Many times in:e then this has
cropped out and accounts, to a great
extent, for the present impasse be

Eberlein.
1'ntker Sent Here
When the announcement was
made that the Hill roads were going
to go into Klamath Falls, the South
ern Pacific immediately began to
make time for the past delay and
delegated Boyd Parker, whose cor
dial relations with Mr. Eberlein, It,
was hoped, would .bridge the gulf
between the two parties, to carry on
the negotiations. But It is evident
that had been dug so wide and deep
that the negotiations have net been
as successful as the Southern Paci
fic had hoped tor,' tor to date it
hiu not secured the required acre
age, i
Anxious to secure the continued
good will ot the people ot Klama'h
Falls, the railroad company lias
been seeking an early opportunity
to make the announcement ot Its
decision to locate the division point
in that city, before te Hill nnrl
secured a firmer footing, it has
been urging Mr. Parker to hasten
matters, but he has been unable t
hurry them Insofar as Mr. Eberlein
Is concerned, as he seems to havo
mapped out his own course anil is
pursuing it nt his leisure.
Hoiks nt Price
The information here is to the
effect that the Southern '1'acltlc
must have forty-five additional acre'i
and for this Mr. Eberlein has Inti
mated he must have fifteen hundred
dollars an acre. The railroad com
pany thinks this price is too high
and has so Informed Mr. Parker,
