All Tonnage Of County Is Needed, Claim. President Sproule of S. P. Issues Statement Last Night All the tonnage that could pos sibly come from Klamath would be needed to justify tho expansive building program which will be undertaken by the Southern Pacific, William Sproule. president of the Southern Pacific railroad announced lust nigbt. Mr. Sproule, accompanied by Paul Shoup. executive vice-president, left this morning for San Francisco af ter spending over a week in sur veying construction on the Natron Cut-off and the proposed right of ways of other lines to be built out of Klamath Kails. Following is a statement from .Mr. Sproule: "I have again spent a pleasant week in southern Oregon. 1 came in through Ashland. Medford and Eugene to meet the chairman of the executive committee of our board of directors. Henry V. de Forest, that we might go over the new construc tion, accompanied by some of our chief officers, notably our evecu tlve vice-president from San Frun clsco. Mr. Shoup. and our chief engineer, Mr. Boschke. For this purpose we went from Kugene, 63 miles through the Nutron lo the rail head south of Oakridge, motoring over very rough country to the other rail head at Odell luke. where rail is being laid at the rato of G.300 feet daily. It may be of interest to say that tho length of the gup between the rail heads Is 26 mllvs. This Interval our engineers hope to cut In two before the next snows shut us down.

T Ralph Budd, Chief of Great Northern in Klamath Falls on Visit TO KLAMATH FIRST Can't See Why Local Mills Would Decry Entrance of Competitive Line Will the Northern line, if their proposed extension to Klamath Falls is approved, push southward into Cali-', fornia, the kingdom of the Southern Pacific? Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern railroad, could not answer that ques tion but he strongly hinted that the Northern lines were interested in tonnage pro ducing sections of Califor nia to the south of Klamath Falls. Mr. Budd, accompanied by H. J. Witchell, chief en gineer of the S. P. & S., and his chief assistant G. V. Lintner arrived in Klamath Falls at 10 o'clock last night after a hard drive from Bend, Ore. "No, we have no plans to build south from Klamath Falls into California, if we are allowed entrance into this territory," Mr. Budd an swered, to a direct question. "Of course a railroad builds where it may secure tonnage and there is ton nage in California. But so far as any definite plans are concerned, I can tell you that we have, none." The railroad president seemed more disposed tu talk of tho Klam alh situation than of any other pos sible extension unanounced. ;". Will Ilring Traffic 1 "Here is the way we view cirr construction Into Klamath," Mr. Ftadd explained. "We foel that ;wu will bring our traffic with us. It won't be a caso of our taking away buslnosj from a "railroad here. "Our road into this territory wlil bring a big development that wouH justify another railroad, of that wo arc assured.

In Its place Is a spirit of welcome, owing to the fact that that town would be created Into a manu facturing center of that particular article. For Common User Mr. Uudd stressed the common user do:trine that has grown up in the conduct of railroads through out the nation. "Where railroads cross public highways, it is now a generally ac cepted doctrine . that franchises or grant! are not passed without the common user privilege Included," he said.
