Klamath Irrigation district, wbo
played an important part In the tight
to secure the Northern lines ror
Klamath, has returned from Port-'
land and Is quite optimistic about j
tho outcome. It Is his belief ,hi'l
the Northern lines will be permit
ted to extend south from Bend and
that Klumath Kalis will soon enjoy
the benefits accruing from their I
coming. Speaking about the meeting!
Mr. Bradbury said;
"The railroad situation as review
ed alter attendance at the recent
hearing held In Portland, seems to
resolve Itself into a question that
can und will only be settled trom
an economic basis to be determined
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission from the evidence that will
be placed before Its members by.
Director Mahaffic
"The hearing developed a vai!
fund of information dealing wit.i
the present and potential resources
of the Klamath country. The com
pilation of this data is of inestima
ble value to Klamath, being the re
sult, of the stedies of the best traffic
and economic talent available as
furnished hy the railway lines in
terested and the Public Service
commission of Oregon, timber ex
perts representing public and pri
vate holdings and agricultural sta
tistics from many sources.
"The outstanding resources of th-i
present time is undoubtedly timber,
followed closely by agriculture. The
huge timber resources in private
holdings and agriculture being the
two greatest contributors to the
support of Klamatb governmental
units, such as schools, roads and
,tiw lifte.
"The necessity for transportati6.i
that would serve these two great
undeveloped resources and permit
them to liegin earning profits on tho
tremendous investment of capital up
on which they are paying Interest
and taxes seems to be clearly prov
en. Public sentiment, backed bv
statistics and testimony favored com
petition in the Klamatb territory,
such as would be afforded by the
entrance ot the Northern lines. The
entrance of these lines into Klam
ath hinges upon what disposal is
made of the Strahorn line. The
Northern lines have indicated that
they were willing to take over this
line and use part of it. The South
ern Pacific refuses to permit of any
part of any lino that it owns or
controls. That the Southern Pa
cific has virtually controlled the
Strahorn line since early in 1013
was developed from testimony at the
bearing and that it has owned -i
clear one-half interest in it since
1323 was also disclosed.
"The Southern Pacific is appar
ently willing to take over the en
tire ownership upon delivery to them
by Mr. Strahorn of the terminal site
in the city. It appeared from the
testimony of Mr. Strahorn ani
others that his sale of the line to
the Southern Pacific was in no wise
In conflict with his agreement with
the citizens of Klamath and the city
of Klamath Kails.
"fVhile lumber and timber heM
the center ot interest at the hear

represented from all sections af
fected by the proposed railway ex

showing in the record covering this
great industry."
