Charles Donnelly Says New
Lumber Operations Will
Be Started
Kvery possible argument will be
("advanced by the Northern lines In
their fight for permission to con
struct the . proposed extension of
the Oregon Trunk to Klumath Falls,
declared President C'hn,rles Donnelly
of the Northern Pacific, upon his
arrival here today.
"Although I cannot speak for tho
Weyerhaeuser company or any
other timber company, It Is only
reasonable to suppose that we ex
pect to make a showing of suf
ficient tonnage before the Inter
state commerce commission to
Justify this extension," he Bald.
"Much of this tonnage, of courae,
will be lumber, so it is only a
natural conclusion that we will ex
pect to show the commission suf
ficient additional lumber operations
to back up our request for this ex
tension." However, those who expect some
big definite announcement from
the Northern liues at this time will
lie disappointed, he added. The
visit here is being made to give the
New York and eastern directors a
first-hand knowledgo of tho topo
graphy of the country and an idea
of the almost unlimited present
and potential resources of Klam
ath county and Central Oregon.
