Practically Certain
As might have been ex
pected, the Southern Pacific
is now preparing to double
cross its only group of sup
porters in Klamath county
the 21 lumbermen who
"endorsed" its rail plans.
For the Southern Pacific
the "friend of the lumber
men" is now busily engag
ed in surveying a line from
Odell to Bend.
The joke is on the group
of lumbermen who, decid
ing to cast their eggs into
a basket, selected the wrong
one. One of the arguments
known to have been advanc
ed by the Southern Pacific
in its successful effort to

Man Awakes and Sees the

Six bunk houses at the

ging camp north of Chilo
quin were entered at 2 a. m.
this morning by two or more
robbers who rifled the pock
ets of several dozen loggers
and stole $200 in cash, two
: expensive watches and a
' $62 check.
The robbery was quietly
and neatly effected. Only
one logger awoke and he
saw two men moving around
; quietly inside the bunk
house. He thought they
were his- companions and
after looking at his watch
which designated the time
I at 2 a. in., went back to
; sleep.
The thieves moved quick
ly from one bunk house to
'another and turned the
j pockets of nearly all the em
ployes in each house inside
'out Eight men suffered
' the entire loss, according to
word from the lumber
camp this afternoon.
No evidence of an inside
job was apparent. It is
! thought that perhaps some
i loggers who had been previ
ously employed by the
i Ewauna Box company and
knew the location of each
bunk house was responsible
for the robbery.
No trouble was experienc
; ad in entering the sleeping
j quarters of the men as the
doors to the bunk houses
were open.
The sheriff's office today
; is working on the theory
; that the robbers are the men
'who stole a Chevrolet tour
