Petition Misrepresents Facts
Concerning Passage of
Resolution
Unsuccessful in their at
tempt to secure an exclusive
grant to cross Sixth street
at Commercial street from
the city of Klamalh Falls,
the Strahorn railroad has
carried the fight to the state
public service commission.
The City of Klamath Falls
has been served notice by
the public service commis
sion that a hearing will be
held in the near future at
which the city of Klamath
Falls will set forth its rea
sons, if any, for opposing
the crossing.
Questionable Tactic!
Questionable tactics were
employed by the Strahorn i
railroad in reopening the
question of the Sixth street
franchise before the public
service commission in the
opinion of city officials.
The Strahorn railroud,
through its attorney, R. C.
Groesbeck, petitioned the
commission to set a hearing
on the question and set
forth in the petition that:
Crossing Granted?
"The City of Klamath
Falls having taken said ap
plications under advisement
and certain modifications
having been orally consent- j
ed to by the railroad com
pany, on April 13, 1925, the
common council of said city
duly granted the applica
t ion of the railway company
in part with minor modifi
cations."

termine if any were profits of Sch-
lieg's robbery and safe blowing act
tlvltics. While investigators worked on the
theory that tho slayers were rival
bootleggers, they also gave credence
to a stony that the killings revealed
u plot to steal a big army plane
from ashburn field. Armed guards
watching tho plane, said no theft

All the tonnage that could pos

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.

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. Lumber manufactur
ers would construct their mills In,
this torrlun.-, that would hesitate m
doing, unless they had assuran-u ut
a teonipetitlvs railroad.
"The idea of a manufacturer dis
liking the entruiico of another con
cern manufacturing the same pro
duct, into ais tjn, Is fust dying
out. 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. "Concerning the proposed
spur extension up Link river, I
would not like to commit myself.'
