THAT MERRILL MEETING
In the interest of justice, accuracy and cemmon de
cency it is due the. people of Klamath county to inform
them that the so-called railroad meeting at Merrill last
night was not a representative gathering; that the ex
pression voiced by a mere handful of people cannot
possibly be taken as the expressed will of the people
of that thriving community.
The citizens of Merrill have been placed in a false
light before the eyas of their fellow men. Th( !
meeting last night was called by an avowed Southern
Pacific partisan solely for the purpose of "endorsing"
the latest vagrant promise of that Prince of Promisers
the Southern Pacific.
The meeting last night was attended by approximately
20 persons, including children. The chief speaker was

to repudiate their former resolution of confidence in
the Oregon Trunk.
It will be remembered that less than three short
months ago another meeting was held at Merrill ; a
meeting which was attended by more than 300 persons,
and at which authorized speakers for the Southern Pa- s.
citic aaaresseu tne people oi tnat community. At tne. fa-joer-in-iaw-s back tor u ifre one
conclusion it was voted, almost unanimously, to en-h-"0 two ktsiwi passed thru
courage the Oregon 'Trunk, or any other railroad, which j ,Lu.dtkc ara!S uril- lh wrlsw- Th"
sought entry to Klamath county. There was none of j jfflSSS1"
the unfair partisanship as displayed by that group ot : ,
people last nignt.
It is only fair to the people of Merrill to expose this
crude attempt of the Southern Pacific to make it appear
that Men-ill was unanimously back of the Southern Paci
fic, with its many and conflicting promises. Twenty J -r auo to place of miss Kdna
people including children called together by an ad- j Ward-Vho leave "ie service of th
mitfprl navHsnn of tho Snnthprn PaflfiV shniiirl tint "nnvp:raun! October, having recently
the effrontery to pretend that it can represent that
community.
Admitting for the sake of argument that the people
of Merrill might possibly be blinded by the latest bit of
Southern Pacific hypocrisy, in simple justice to the
great majority of Merrill people who knew nothing of
iast night's quiet little party, let this clarion-toned
spokesman for the Southern Pacific call a public mass
meeting in the community hall and there reiterate or re
pudiate its former stand in this matter of railroads.

the circulation of this paper a circulation that is paid
for by the subscriber and not by the California Oregon
Power company and the Southern Pacific company. A
r ewspaper that becomes the paid instrument of private

field of journalism similar to that of a quarantine hos
