Original Cost Of Park Small City Paid $11,750.00; Wants $62,000.00 from O. T. With tha purchase of tho city park on South Riverside now the partt morfrit issue in the titnnic fight be tween the Northern lines and the Southern Pacific, the question has frequently been asked, how much did the illy pay for the park? In 1020, the city purchased tracts of land In Wi st Klamath Falls from John Cleghorn, Charles Bold Win, BlChord Hammond. Charles De hap and Hi; f ns Moore. This acreage combined, amounted to approximately eight acres and is now what is called the Riverside park. The purchase price of the park was (11,750. That was five years ago and since then the city has ex pended in improvements, between SS,000 mid $7,000. which included the pluming of trees, construction of a tennis court, filling in of marshy sections of the property and ot!y?r Improvements necessary to bring the lund from a very unsightly piece, to its present attractive status. For this same piece of land the Oregon Trunk line has offered $1S. 000 In cash or $SO0O in cash plus four acres in Hot Springs addition, which could be used for a city park In lieu of the Riverside parw. The Park board lias announced that its price is $7500 an acre, based on tho average sale price of other land sold to (he Oregon Trunk on south Riverside. Thus on the one hand the Oregon Trunk orfers flS.000 for the eight acres while the park board retaliates with the statement thut the sale price of the property is $02,000. Decision of the Oregon Trunk will lie made next Tuesday night nt a meeting of the city park hoard. Eugene Restaurant Victim Of Robbers BUOBNE, Ore., Aug. 7.

Ore, Aut. 7. --Transportation conditions in control und soul hern Oregon, from the point of views of the Oregon Trunk Rail wuy und which ure the basis of its application to the Interstate Cm morot Commission for a certifi cate of public convenience und necessity for the extension of its system from Ilend into Klamath county, ure set out in the Oregon Trunk's answer to n questlotiaire by the Interstate commission. A copy of the commission's replys to the question;! , : has been received by the Oregon Public Service Com mission. Tho questionaire states that all kinds of transportation will be car ried on by the line, and that while it s net yet possible to state where station will be located It Is likely lhat stations will be established at l.aPine. Crescent, Skookum, Reatty, Bonanza. Olene and Klamath Falls. In reply to a question as to what common earrier service the above I named places have already, the an swer states: That Skookum has the Southern Pacific, that v Olene has the Oregon, California and Eastern, that Klamath Falls has the Oregon, California and Eastern and the Southern Pacific, while LaPine, Crescent, Ucatty and Bonanza have r,n common carrier service and thut these range from eight lo 34 miles from places that do have rail way service. In reply to a questlonaire asking the names of other common carriers with which the proposed Oregon Trunk line will connect, and the proposed points of track connection, the answer states that "Tho pro posed line will reach Skookum tPuunina) on the line of the South ern Pacfic company, and Klamath Falls now served by Southern Pa cific company and Oregon, Califor nia und Eustern, at. both places Connection can be made."

Gordon's Sugges tion Meets With Approval The 'Falls' of Klamath Falls may be a thing of the past in a short time if the concerted action of the Rotary club to abolish the misnomer is any criterion of the general feel ing of the town. J. A. Gordon, president of the First National bank, at the weekly luncheon of the civic club this noon, pointed out the contradictions in the name Klamath Falls and advocated that the 'Falls' of Klamath be dropped and that the town be desig nated Just as 'Klamath.' "In the first place there are no falls, and every tourist that comes to this city wants to know where they are." Mr. Gordon said. "Well, the falls aren't, as we all know." "Then again, they say that Klam ath Falls is to be the Spokane of Oregon. Spokane had a 'Falls' tacked onto it in the early days and it was abolished when the town began to grow." By unanimous vote the Rotary club decided to prepare a resolution advocating that the 'Falls' of Klam ath be dropped from the name of the city.

Rail Plans Public Service Head Says Numerous Routes Not Permanent "All of the surveys for projected branch lines of the Southern Pacific in Klam ath county are nothing more than logging railroads, tem porary affairs at best They will play no part in the permanent development of Klamath county. The real development, founded on far-sighted permanency is that projected by the Ore gon Trunk, which propose to tap the agricultural cen ters as well as the timber resources." This was the succint sum ming up of the Klamath rail situation today by H. H. Corey, chairman of the Ore gon public service commis sion, prior to his departure for an inspection trip over the entire survey route of the Oregon Trunk between Klamath Falls and Bend. With other officials of the commission, Mr. Corey has just completed a four-day inspection of the Southern Pacific and Strahorn survey routes: Heal Itullder "If the interstate commerce com mission permits t'ac Oregon Trunk lo build, whl.'h I think it will, it means real development for this section and the entire state," con tinued Mr. Corey. "The line It seeks to build not only takes care of the timber resources, but it like wise taps the rich agricultural sec tions. It is not a 25-year railroad program, but a permanent construe,' tion." Mr. C;rey chuckled at the action of the 14 Klamath lumbermen WOO blossomed forth with a signed state ment on behalf of the Southern Pa cllic. To him it was immensely amusing. "What else could : on expect from a gtoup of men who are at tho mercy of one railroad at the pre sent time?" he inquired. "The whole thing is plainly apparent. Pressure J was brought to bear on them and ' there was nothing left for them to ! d ) but to sign." The public servl.e commission bis I ficials will devote two days to t'w'.v ' inspection trip between here und ' Uend. and will return to Salem the last of the week by auto over the McKonzie river puss.
