SANTA BARBARA, Oil. !
June 30. State street, the!
main artery of the torn and I
twisted business district pre- j
sented . desolate appearance I
that threw into bold relief j
the optimism of the men and ;
women who owned the '
wrecked stores.
In front of one shop lay
what was left of a small
automobile. Blocks of stone
weighing 400 or 500 pounds
each had crushed it flat and
in their fall bad ground out
the life of Wm. Proctor,
window cleaner, who had
just driven up to his early
morning job when the first
temblor came.
Across the way stood n
five ton truck, one of the
burly giants of the highway
shattered under a similar
avalanche of stone, brick
and mortar.
In the crumpled ruins of
the exclusive hotel Arling
ton, mecca of world trav
elers for years, the fall of a
tank containing 60,000 gal
lons of water had swept to

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. If liny, value. 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. So far,
my request for repairs siiffl- '
clent to operate has met with
refusal,
" I have spent n large amount
of energy and conslderiiblo
money, have waited patiently
for tho ncceptaiico of my nppll
callon, and to havo It altered In
this manner is extremely em
barrassing. This refusal on my
pint, is especially limil, as I
have ordered three most modern
cars, havo .two of them nlready
to paint and letter, mid rim
deliver all three within thirty
dnys,
I nunc to Hlnmnlh Fulls fully
prepared to install this street
ear service and am t'cluelitut. to
abandon tho city. Hut action
ot tho council is such that no
reputable firm would invest tho
money necessary to put these
cms lulu coiumissloii
t sincerely trust tho council
Will he ublo to meet the re
quests that 1 havo mndo mid

applleittlon in its original word-Jng.-'

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.

Other minor cases of theft also were reported, in
cluding pilfering from the shops along the waterfront.
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. Hancock, 21 year eld son of G.
Allen Hancock, wealthy realtor operator of Los Angeles.
Streets Are Guarded
During the night upwards of 200 uniformed police ar
rived from Los Angeles to aid the local milita in pa
trolling the streets, which were closely cordoned from
sunset to sunrise. Shortly after four o'clock the Battle
ship Arkansas, Captain Frank Lyon commanding, drop
ped anchor in the harbor and began landing shore patrols
of blue jackets to aid in maintaining order. i
Other assistance also came from Los Angeles, includ
ing a trainload of supplies, several trucks of fire appar
atus and a powerful electric generator and portable
lights from the Famous-Players-Lasky studio at Holly
wood, which was used to illuminate the ruins which
were being combed for bodies of possible victims. .
