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?

WASHINGTON Wnen President
Coolidge succeeded himself last
March everybody thought he wa,s go
ing to make hfs official family all

cabinet ought to he. I'p ty that time
he avowedly hud been running things
as nearly as he could, the way Pres
ident. Harding had started them.
On his own election to the nrcsi-
idency. 'however, it generally was
taken for granted that he'd want ad-
isors chosen by himself. Then Has-
com Slemp retired in Blverett San
ders' favor, as presidential private
secretary, and it wns assumed the
sbakeup had begun.
Yet a glance down :ne lis: or cab
inet members shows thus far not a
single change the president could
have avoidad making. He didn't want
to retire Attorney General Daugherty

anything about tho oommerce depart

the midst of all that talk about the
president's "firm policy' In the row

(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

tomorrow as a result of the failure
of operators nnd miners to agree
on a now wage scale. Is not likely to
have any effect upon Mr. Coolldge's
vacation plans. It Is understood he

operations would In uy way necessi
