This was the succinct statement of CharleS Hart. Northern line at torney, here Saturday for the pur pose of interviewing witnesses who will nppear on behalf of the Oregon Trunk at the inter state commerce COmtnlsslOn hearing October 5. Mr. Hart explained that the ru mor was based largely on the fact the largest Individual stockholder of tbe Southern Pacific, Arthur James of New York, was a large stock holder nnd a director of the North ern Pacific and (ircat 'Northern rail road s. "Mr. James was in Klamath Falls Willi Francis .! Donnelly, president of the Northern Pacific", Mr. Hart explained. "Any question of his at titude was dispelled at that time. He made the statement that the ex tension of the Northern linos into Klamath was a logical and natural expansion move and that despite his financial affiliation with the South ern Pacific he was in favor of the Bend-Klamath Falls line. He took the position that competition was a (good thing." Tho purported settlement, Hint Northern lines so strenuously deny Is n possibility, is that the Southern Pacific would build the line from Odell to Bend and would guarantee tho Northern lines a certain amount of the north bound tonnage orig lnatlng in this territory.
