ment of the board, pledged the full
cooperation of the war department
In tbo Inquiry und said that If dur
ing the Investigation charge were
made against Us administration he
would welcome an opportunity to re
appear ami answer them.
"The war department," Mr. Davis
said. "Welcomes this Inquiry Into the

tally Important subject, honest dif
ferences of opinion naturally arise.
They exist within the war department
Itself, as yon will undoubtedly henr
today and the proper expression of
honest convictions Is to bo encour

the motives of no critics; It has the
right to demand the same fair deal

open mind on all debatable ques
tions, to adopt tiny consecutive sug
gestions which ll can approve, to

"In (tarrying out Its serious re
sponsibility for the national defense
II Is morally bound to Insist that mere

there is no place for passion, per

spirit we welcome this Inquiry.
"On behalf of the war department,
I am glad to offer the board of avia

No Settlement
Of Rail Fight
Is Possibility
Charles A. Hart Casts
Light on Prevailing
Rumor
Those who continually spread
rumors of n settlement between the
Northern lines and the Southern
Pacific over the railroad fight now
in progress, know not whereof they
speak.
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.

"III BE HEAVY
Yield of 800,000 Bushels ia
Estimated by County
Agent Henderson
BIG SUM IS INVOLVED
Value is Nearly Million Dol
lars Means More than
500 Carloads
Official estimate of Klam
ath's grain crop for the year,
i , i i i .t
announced today, placed the
crop at 800,000 bushels.
This is the compilation
of the county agent's office
after a general check on
estimates of flour mills and
a general survey of the grain
producing territory in the
Klamath Irrigation project
and in Tule lake.
Better Than 1924
Acreage sowed to grain
was estimated by County
Agent Henderson at 35,000
acres of which 15,000 acres
is on the Tule lake and the
. , , -r, ,
remainder on the Klamath
project and SUrrOUnding ag-
. ridlltUl'al COUntry.
j T,oqi vpar'd total viplrl was
. enn AOA bnhnl V, i,l
from approximately 25,000
acres.
In dollars and cpnts, the
grain crop will be sold for
approximately $850,000.
Figured in bushels, the
county agent's office est
imated the wheat crop to be
250,000 bushels; the rye
crop, 175,000 bushels; the
barlev crop 175,000 bushels;
and 'the oat crop 175,000
bushels.
500 Carloads
It would take 533 cars to
carry away the grain from
Klamath to out of county
markets.
In summarizing the situ
ation, Mr. Henderson stated
that a frost during the latter
part of August and heavy
rains destroyed a large por
tion of the grain crop. In
many cases the grain had
been beaten down to such a
point that harvesting in
those portions of the crop
would be impractical.
