WASHINGTON, Sept, 17.
Whether the administration will sub

Fourteen Companies Sign
Another Statement in
Rail Battle
DEVELOPMENT SHOWN
Bxisting road Promises more
Expansion for This City,
is Belief
A statement issued today signed
by fourteen tumWer concerns of
Klamath Fulls explained why they
are burking theSouthern Pacific's
plan of railroad development as
against that of the Oregon Trunk.
The Southern Pacific proposes ex
tensions including an outlet to the
east from Klamath Falls, while the
(treat Northern and Northern Pa
cific, which own the Oregon Thank,
plan an extension from Ilend to
Klamath Falls and on Into Califor
nia. The statement declares, that the
"two programs may be regarded as
alternative inasmuch as the South
ern Pacific has expressed the opin
ion that ft cannot afford to carry
its comprehensive plansinto effect
under competitive conditions mean
ing a division of tonnage.
Tomiujce ill Sight
"We believe that the tonnage
available in a given area is plain
ly in sight and the practices of
trade will very clearly delineate its
proper movement to market. Kail
road facilities can arrest the rapid
development or retard the move
ment of this tonnage, but the en
trance of a railroad cannot bring
its tonnage with it. When two rail
road systems seek to enter a given
territory, the size of the develop
ment offered by Mich railroad should
be a matter of grcatconslderatlon
for determining which offers the
more comprehensive development.
It then becomes a question whether
thereis room to secure both, de
velopments." S. 1. Promises .More
The statement deals with advan
tages expected from the proposed
Southern Pacific program. It con
cludes wilh the following summary:
"The relative importance of these
(do railroad developments, either
one of which we may have, but the
construction of both of which is
extremely unlikely, may be readily
grasped by the following compari
sons: "The Southern Pacific is to spend
npproxima'tely S3S, 000.000. the
Northern lines are to spend ap
proximately Ji5.000.000.
"The Southern Pacific will build
and construct approximately 520
mtleaof railroad.
"The Northern lines will build
approximately i"5 miles.
"The Southern Pacific provides
the shortest, quickest and most
economical haul to our natural mnr
kets for far mnnd forest products.
"The Northern Hues provide the
shortest, quickest nnd most econ
omical haul to markets which wnld
not 'tnke much of our forest pro
ducts and practically nothing from
our farms. r
Would Raise Kates
"The greicht rates are now set
bodies. It is the law of our country
that the railroads should havo a
fair return upon their investments.
It these investments are duplicat
ed, it would under this theory tend
to rnlse rather than Iwer ratos."

statement were: Tho Pelican Bay

Monroe Faithful Recovering
From Serious Wound In
flicted in Fight
SEEK WM. EGGSMAN
Deputy U. S. Marshals leave
for Sprague River to
Arrest Alleged Stabber
Another altercation over
the rights of property in
which Monroe Faithful was
stabbed in the heart came
to light this morning with
the filing of a complaint
charging assault with a dan
gerous weapon against Wil
liam Eggsman, Klamath In
dian rancher.
Although the dagger or
knife, which Eggsman is
charged with having stab
bed Faithful, penerated the
victim's heart, no death will
result from the wound, hoi-
jpital authorities said today
The knife thrust forced the
knife through the skin, be
tween the ribs and the point
slit open the heart. Owing
to fact that no important ar
teries of the heart were sev
ered or displaced, the In
dian will recover.
The stabbing occurred on
the Eggsman ranch on Spra
gue river near Chiloquin,
one moi'irlng when Faithful
called at the farm to take
possession of cattle that he
claimed were his.
The altercation between
the two men, which is said
to have led to the stabbing,
was over the ownership of
the cattle.
According to a report to
the United States commis
sioner's office here, there
are conflicting stories as to
who was the aggressor. ;
