MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1923 OPPOSING PROGRESS Jackson county is vitally interested in the rail battle now in progress in Klamath county, and the Jacksoh County News has some very definite ideas on the sub ject, which contains bitter censure for those who are opposing the coming of the Northern lines to this part of the state. Klamath Falls is waging the fight of her career, says the Jackson County News. The future of the city hangs in the balance, and the record of her citizens during the next few months will determine whether or not she is to remain in the swaddling clothes of a sawmill town, or become a throbbing, growing and progressive city of twice or three times the present population. For several weeks officials of the Hill lines have been ' waging a fight to gain entrance into Klamath Falls. They are receiving valuable aid from many Klamath , Falls citizens, officials and other sources. On the other hand they are being opposed with all the bitterness and connivery that is possible of conception, and the regret table feature is that much of the opposition is coming from Klamath Falls citizens and firms, whom, it is charged are subservient to S. P. interests. The spectacle at Klamath Falls is sad to behold. Oregon has for years lagged in growth and development because of a lack of railroad transportation in Central and Eastern Oregon. People at Klamath Falls have yearned for years for better railroad connections and at times would doubtless have mortgaged their property to aid another road in building into their district. Now that one of the great railroad systems of the country have announced their willingness to construct lines into the city, asking no bonus or financial assistance, we see many of these same individuals piling up obstacles in their way. The extent to which those opposed to the entrance of the Oregon Trunk into Klamath Falls will go is best revealed by the public statement of 21 lumbermen of that city who announce that they are unalterably op posed to more railroads. This action, without due con sideration, might be considered, but investiagtion reveals that the 21 who signed the protest represent but a very f.mall part of the lumber industry in Klamath county. The tax rolls of Klamath county show that they pay less than one-third of the taxes paid by two other com panies who are depending on the construction of the "Hill line to begin extensive manufacturing operations. The fight now being waged in Klamath Falls will not be local in its results. Much of the future of south ern and eastern Oregon depends on the result. If the Klamath Falls obstructionists and the S. P. succeed in blocking the Oregon Trunk that district and all of the southern Oregon country vail suffer for years to come. Oregon as a whole will continue slowly in development and growth. In the light of conditions, it seems that it is nign time tnat the business interests and commercial organizations of all southern Oregon throw their influ ence to the side of progress and enlarged railroad con struction. The idea that the Hill interests, once they gain en hance to Klamath county, will not cease building until they have reached the coast is not a wild one by any means. Stop , to consider, if you will, that onlv one trans-continental railroad line reaches the Pacific coast from the north line of Oregon to San Francisco. Does it appear unreasonable then that the Hill interests have it'in mind to build to the coast? The people of the Rogue River valley may be awak ened some morning by the whistle of a locomotive of the fill lines on its way to the coast. . But it will never be unless those who have the best interests of southern Oregon at heart launch into the fight on the side of progress. The interests at Klamath Falls who are opposed to entrance of the Hill lines are slamming the door in the face of progress. They are endeavoring to maintain much of Oregon in a bottled-up condition, subservient to one railroad, and to thwart the sincere endeavor of many toward the development and growth to which we are rightfully entitled. Will the progressive citizens of southern Oregon tand idly by and permit obstructionists to defeat a project that would, become one of the greatest factors of development that could possibly befall this district?

(A) President Coolidge began uuoth er week of vacation toduy. with In dications that It will be perhaps the most quiet be has enjoyed since his nrrivul here late in June. He plans to continue his practice of conferring from time to tlmu with high govern ment officials and congressional leaders, hut few appointments have been made for Ihls week and It Is likely to be comparatively free of engagements. Thus fur there have iein no Indi cations as to when the president will return to Washington, although there is a strong possibility that he will remain here until after I.ubor Day. The Impending tie-up of anthra cite mines, scheduled for a week from tomorrow as a result of the failure of operators nnd miners to agree on a now wage scale.
