' ' The Rodeo, July 2-3-4 E Motorized streetcars were lost to Klamath Falls today because of the failure of the city council to provide prop er facilities. This was the announce ment of W. E. Young, pre sident of the Linnton Tran sit company ,who sent let ters to Mayor Goddard and each of the council mem bers, announcing the defin ite refusal of his company to enter Klamath Falls unless the streets were put in con dition for the safe operation of his big motor buses. At the same time, Mr. Young charged that the franchise ordinance had been changed without his sanction, and he declared he would decline to pay tor the printing of tho ordinance. . Ills letter follows: ." The application to . operate;.: .Ciwnlliii. stws'l cwtw Til Klrun- v nth Falls that wu ugreod to hy the Council ami myself nml oidci'ctl prliitiil, was chunked nflei' I li ft In n way lo nuiko it of little.

This rlunigu I can nut accept ami as 1 did not authoi iu) the print . ..lug of this cluiiigeil application, 1 must refuse to pay the bill for printing or advertising the fran chise as passed. The refusal of the Council, so far, to permit, the safe oicr ntltig of Street Cars Is an ad ditional reason for my refusal to accept the franchise as it stands at present. The council must bear hi mind that the transiHirtjitioii of xiasseiigcrs is nil undertaking of great respon sibility and to undertake Street car service with tho streets blocked as angle parking blocks them, Is entltely out of tho quetitlen. Business streets, as garages, for any who wish to use them nml for any length of time the car owner desires, Is an injustice to .property Own ers, business ' roncerns nnd tho public generally. The condition of tho streets over which ser vico Is niH'dcd is such thut re pairs are necessary, in fact . these streets are Impassible for street cars at present.

The Rodeo, July 2-3-4 AN TURNED 1 Oregon Trunk Will Not Ask Common User Easterly Route by Way of Sprague River Chosen Formal niuuncement that the Oregon Trunk railroad has definite- ly doclded' to adopt, the easterly route by way of Sprague river fur Its projected extension trim Henri to Klamath Kails was made by of ficials rt the railroad hero last night. '. ' ' This line Will tap approximately 20,000,0000.000 foot of timber and will open up a vast new country whlu'i will bring with It new and Increased tonnage,' the railroad be lieves. '. "' - It also means that the threatenil j court uetion on the part of the j Southern Pacific to bUi k any at-, tempted common-user over the Sju- j them Pacific line from SkiOkum to! Klamath FalU will be obviated. The j Oregon Trunk has never asked for common-user and will nut do so. Tho public service commission, ,!iow evor, has Intervened with tho inter state commerce commission, and urged tile common-user grant for the Northern lines. The of (ids 1 railroad statement as given to the press last night follows: 1 ' .; ; Tho Orogjn Trunk campany is pushing the survey ot its proposed line to Klamath Falls ' as muopas p.msiblu nnd we j t-hojie tl- ;i.;!(-ii4'i. ;.ttia..4u '-4 . coiupieien iu uaamer live or six weeks. Presumably the In terstate Commerco Commission will set our application down , for hearing soon after and it Is xur hope that the Commission will act proiupetly and favor ably upon our application. In our application, we have designated two routes, one of which practically parallels the Southern Pacifie line from Skookum or Paulina sout'J. The other route diverges south easterly Teachiog Sprague river coming Into Klamath Fulls from the east. This route, while slightly longer than tho other, has tbo advantage of opening up new territory and wo havo decided that a greater public interest will be served by build ing this easterly line, instead ot the line which follows the Southern Pacific. We, there fore, shall press our applica tion to build this easterly line; and particularly in view of tho fact that H will open up new territory, wo feel there should not be much pp3liIon. We are actively engaged now In the preparing for the 'bear ing on our application. This means the gathering of facts for presentation to the Com mission to demonstrate that there is a present and future public necossity tor the lino wo propose to build. Wo are anxious U enlist tho aid, In securing this evidence, ot tho people ot Klamath Falls. ,Tho cordial expressions of good will whtuh have como to' us Indicate thut mur proposed railroad lino is desired, and wo nro now making definite plans for the testimony to be presented to to tho Commission at tho forth coming hearing.

Two More Temblors The night and early morning were marked by two severe temblors which again rocked the city at 1:22 and 4 :39. The first of these brought down one of the re maining chimneys of the Arlington hotel and also com pleted the wrecking of a couple of small brick build ings which had been badly damaged in the quake of Monday morning. As the hotel chimney came crashing down where wrecking crews were clearing the debris, the squads of searchers sought safety in flight, but returned to their labor almost before the dust of the smash had -cleared away. Before dawn they had recovered two of the bodies for which they were searching, those of Mrs. Charles E. Perkins, 83 year old millionaire widow of Burlington Iowa, and Bertram B.
