Testifying tmlay for the Southern Pacific in the hearing before Charles Mulmfrie, (ii. rector of fiiiiiiice of llii- Inter state coiiiinercA coiiinilsslon, II. !. .Mortenson. pn-slileiit of the Pelican liny LuiiiIk-i coliipaiiy said that lumbermen of the Kiamatli basin anil business men of Khunatli Falls prefer the completion of tile Southern Pacific prwrutu over the prom isi il coiiij"iitioii front the Nor thern lines. Morleiisou said he spoke for I t or IS of Hie SO mills now actually cutting. "If tile Soutberii Pacific goes tbrollgli and givCS UH the 'outlet to the east as planned," sail! Morteiison, "we think tlmt pro gram would be sufficient for our needs." "Is that program more desirable than having the Oregon Trunk line In there?" asked Ben C. Dey, coun sel for the Southern Pacific. Only One Xecdtsl "As an alternative," answered Morlenson, "certainly we would pre fer one real strong development to go into effect. We do not think any more necessary. It Is generally conceded by all Klamth Falls bus incus men I have talked to thai the building of the Modoc Northern, which is a new line to the east, is the most needed." Morlenson declared that If all the mllla promised in connection with both Southern Pacific and Oregon Trunk development began cutting they would wipe out the 25.000, 000.000 to 30.000,000,000 feet of timber in the district in 25 to 30 years. Reforestation It would take from 50 to 75 years of reforestation, with gov ernment aid. to reproduce one third that muoh marketable timber in tr.e same territory, he said. Morten son declared that private owners are now for reforestation on lands that cannot be developed for other crops, but that they will probably do nothing about it unless they get government aid and lower tuxes. As evidence that the Klamath basin supply can bo quickly wiped out. Mortenson testified that he is now shipping lumber to Wisconsin, where he used to operate in a dis trict so thickly forested that people declared the supply was inexhaust ible. . Hard Blow In the cross-examination of Mor tenson. by Charles A. Hart, attorney for the Hill lines, the Klamath Falls man stated that when B. II. Harri man died, work on the Natron Cut off stopped. This was a hard blow to the Klamath basin, and hilstness did not revivo to any notable extent un til the resumption of work on the cutoff some two years ago, ut which time there was talk of the Oregon Trunk extending from Bend to Klamath Falls. "Then you have a keen sense of gratitude to the Oregon Trunk for bringing this about?" said Hart. "If that Is what II did. I'll at least express my appreciation." Mor lenson replied. "Have any other Klamath Falls lumbermen done us much as you to cultivate sentiment lor the Southern Pacific program?" asked Hart. "Some have been as active as I have been, or nearly so." "Have you used Ihe argument thai tho coming of more largo mills ,0 Klamath Falls would bo disadvan tageous?". Predict s Overproduction "I have not. We can take care of ourselves, hut I believe there would be an overproduction of lum ber." "Have you argued that the coming ot tile Oregon Trunk would mean competition in the box trade upon the part ot the Bend mills?" "1 have not but others have."

AFRAID T j TULE LAKE Dr. Newsom Again Urges r p.. u v.auuvu ciiuiuy wbii- plete Diognosis BOTULINUS IS FEARED peopie Woud be Endanger- ed by Eating Wild Fowl Until Truth is Known Klamath hunters await anxiously the verdict from state boar(J of health and United States Biological Survey, on whether or not death of thousands of ducks in the Tule lake district was caused by botulinus poison. Until that decision is an nounced, Klamath duck hunters are advised to shoot no ducks in the Tule lake district or in that general vicinity, by Dr. C S. New- 1 f.r m SOm, county njailtl omcer. "To be perfectly Safe," Dr. Newsom said today," it would be advisable to re frain from shooting ducks at all for the next few days, until we find out whether or not the disease which has caused the death of the ducks is botulinus poison. "It takes 24 hours for the poison to get in Its work, and in 24 hours a duck can fly back and forth across the county several times. It Is not my idea to place anything in the way of hunters, nut our Investigations have disclosed apparent signs of bbt uliiuis poison, and nn?li thai diag nosis is confirmed or refuted, 1 feel disposed to advise hunters to refrain from shooting. Xot Arsenic Poison "There has been talk about the streets that the ducks died from ar senic poison, spread in that ountry for grasshopper Infestations. Our diagnosis showed no signs of corro sion or ulceration, such as arsenic would induce, and 1 am convinced that arsenic has nothing to do with It." ' That the source of the poison could be a strange growth on the submerged tules, was the opinion of both Dr. Newsom and County Agent C. A. Henderson. . ' Strange Growth "We discovered this sort of green and brown growth on the tules, 11 slimy substance such as I had never seen before." Mr. Henderson said late Saturday night. "It Is our opin ion th at when this is analyzed 'by chemists, our problem may be koIt ed," Word was received th is morning that United States Game Warden Tonkin of Sacramento was expected in Klamath Falls tonight to Investi gate; the plague that has' wiped out so many thousands of ducks in north, em California. Mr. Tonkin will con duct a complete investigation of the situation. Send Away Specimens Dr. Newsom sent a dead duck lo the state bourd of health this morn ing for analysis and also a specimen of the slime that had attracted his attention In Tulo lake. County Agent Henderson took two sick birds that were caught at tho lake, to 1'orvallln I where they will lie examined in the college laboratories, tlame Warden Marion Barnes sent a specimen of ihe dead birds to V. F. biological sur vey for examination. A report from any one or all of tho laboratories will be received before the end or the week. Veteran hunters of Klamath today call attention to an epidemic of some sort that occurred several yee.rs ago when thousands of ducks tiled from some unknown cause. With freh fall rains. Ii Is recalled, tho epidemic rapidly died out. Authorities estimate tho total loss in the Tule lake district to be be tween ten and fifteen thousand giime birds. Most of the ducks are bottom feeding birds, although 11 few mallard ducks and geese have been reported. All of the ducks examined died from u blood 1 lot on the brtaln, said to be 11 sign of botulinus. Flocks of ducks would be scared up, and (hen it was nutod that heads of several birds would fall limp and the duck would full heavily tu the ground. . DUCKS
