THE S. P. TERMINAL
The offer of the Southern Pacific company to this
citv made last night through the Chamber of commerce
is more remarkable for what is does not say than for
what it offers. At first brush one would think that the
decision had been reached to place the -division point,
roundhouse and repair shops at or near Klamath FaWs.
But it means nothing of the kind. In brief the offei
mearisaihat if the people of this city and county will join
hands with the Southern Pacific in an effort to keep
the Northern lines from coming here; aid in securing
from the Interstate commerce commission permission to
extend the -Strahorn line to Williamson river and Lake
view and acquire and broad-..iaagv the N. G. O., Ju -vision
point will be located within six or eight miles of
Klamath Falls. ,
We have known for sometime Chat the Souuiern ra
cific has been taking-options on land eight miles from
Klamath Falls, and the announcement that the division
point would be located there is not surprising. The sur
prising thing is that the Southern Pacific has the courage
to come to this city with such a proposition. It seems to
us that it is an insult to so publicly attempt to buy an
entire community, the consideration to be a go.d brick.
If it had been frank enough to state that a site in the
vicinity of Midland had already been selected and that
announcement to that effect was made at this ; time to
quiet stories of its location elsewhere, it would have left
a better flavor.
Does the Southern Pacific think that tne people are
troing to join hands with them in concerted move to
keep out the Northern lines? . Does it think that the
lbcation,of the division point at Midland will meet the
demands of the citv, when amnle territory within the
city, or immediately adiacent thereto, is easily and reas
onably procurable? If so, it is but typical of the mental
attitude of those in charge of the administration of
the affairs of that great railway system.
Klamath Falls and Klamath county will not be bribed
into opposing the coming of the Northern lines. 1 he
people as a whole are honest, and while some residents

they do not stand for nor represent any constituency,
In paragraph two, it is admitted, as published exclu
sively in The Evening Herald, that a deal has been
made for a special log rate n the Strahorn line, but that
is no Inducement for the people to shut out the one big
development tjactor that stands ready to enter the
county --the Northern lines. Nowhere in the offer is
to be found one to return 'o the city the .$..00,000 of the
people's money invested in the Strahorn line invested
for the sole purpose of securing the entrance of the
Northern line ami now being used to shut them out.
Klamath Falls wants back its money and il Is going to
get it.
in paragraph three it is virtually admitted that the
Evening Herald's outline for rail construction in Modoc
county is correct, when it says that application is to be
made for the construction of a line that will give "a
'route via Ogden that will be reasonably direct' This
line zig-zags back and forth across Modoc county, with
I the evident purpose of shuttinsr out the Northern lines!
Nowhere in the statement is to be found a definite date
When the application for this new line will be made. It
:s sought to blind the people by stating mat, upon ap
proval of the commission we will promptly undertake
the eonstrnction of this line and build it within the time
set by the commission." That application may not be
made for ten years, 6r never, so far as this "statement
IS concerned. It is this same evasion mat nas goi-uivii
the construction of the Modoc Northern.
"All these plans and promises are as definite as we
can make them just at this lime ami are, of course,

New Nash Models with
RecordBreaking Crowds
By the hundreds of thousands American men
and women have thronged Nash showrooms
from one end of the country to the other since
Announcement Day, Thursday, July 23.
And the nation-wide enthusiasm these new
Special Six and Advanced Six models have al
ready created has launched -Nash on a new
.year bound to eclipse by far the phenomenal
success of the past twelve months.
Attendance has been so heavy that hundreds
, have been prevented from adequate inspection
of the new models so we are extending the
Special Introductory Exhibition for a period
of two weeks more.
