Following is the Mayor's message
"At this time I wish to call tho
attention ot tho Common Council
to the peculiar status of the lute
est held by tho city of Klamath
Falls in the Oregon California and
Baati rn Railroad, and how it has
been diverted from the purpose for
which it was voted
"To begin. I will quote In part
tho testimony which I read tit the
hearing of the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Portland. Oregon:
Testimony
" 'On or about August 18, 1918,
after muling u careful investigation
of tho transportation needs of Cen
tral Oregon and particularly Klam
nth Falls r.nd Klamath county. Mr.
Robert K. Strahorn. at a public
meeting held In Houston Opera
House, proposed to the citizens of
Klamath Falls thai in order to go
cure adequate rullroad transporta
tion to Klamath Falls and vicinity
and free the citizens ,'rotu the "ex
orbitant freight charges" of the
Southern Pacific, he, Robert E.
Strahorn. would hulld a railroad
from Klamath Falls via Sliver Lake
Oregon, to Bend, Oregon, to connect
with the Oregon Track and Union
Pacific railroads, said railroads lo
enter Klamath Falls over this pro
posed independent line', which is
now known an the Oregon, Califor
nia & Kastern. litimately u line
was to he built from Bend. Oregon,
to Crane. Oregon, there to connect
with the I'nlon Pacific and give dj
rect connection to eastern stntes
over said i'nlon Pacific. Another
line was to be built from Silver
i.ak", Oregon, south and cast to
Iakoi.-w. Oregon. To enable Mr.
Strahorn to build this independent
line,' he Imposed the following con
ditions: " 'I. The citizens of Klamath
Falls must by popular subscription
securo a terminal site (to be chosen
by Kobt. K. Strahorn I and acquire
tho right of way from Klamath
Falls, Oregon, to the south line of
the Klamath Indian Reservation,
north of Dairy.
.Must Buy Securities
" '2. The City of Klamath Falls
must purchase J300.000.00 of secur
ities of the proposed independent
line.'
"it was found that tho city cf
Klamath Falls could not legally
purchase said securities, therefore
it wns decided to hold a special
election to bond tho city of Klam
ath Falls for the sum of $300,000.
with which to build the Klamath
Falls -Municipal Railroad which win
to bo the first unit of the independ
ent railroad' to Bend, Oregon. Said
Klamath Falls Municipal railroad
was to be taken over by Uobt B,
ri ra ii orn wuon me piupuneu inuc-
pendent line' to Bend was completed
to Sprague Itiver.
Large Sum Raised
" 'Led by the promises of Rob:.
E. Strahorn to build an independ
ent lino' to Bend, Oregon, a pop
ular subscription was taken and the
sum of approximately $60,000 wns
subscribed to purchase terminal
sites and right of way.
" 'A special election was held and
a general bond Issue of $300,000
was voted to build the first unit of
the independent railroad' to Bend.
Said unit was to be known as the
Klamath Falls Municipal Railroad.
So anxious were tho citizens "f
Klamath Falls lo get free from the
exhorbitant freight rates of the
Southern Pacific, the election carried
by a vote of approximately 12 to 1.
"Notwithstanding these facta,
which can be substantiated beyond
all question of doubt, IntcroMod
citizens of Klamath Falls viewed the
spectacular acenq of Itobt. 10. Stra
horn coaching the Southern Pacific
attorneys as they question the wit
nesses for the Oregon Trunk rail
road relative to their proposed line
paralleling tracks of the Oregon,
California and Kastern.
"By this action alone It. Is clearly
shown that the Oregon. California
and Kastern Is controlled, If not
owned, by the Southern Pacific.
Thus, we see how the money voted
by the citizens of Klnmath Palls
was used to defeat the very pur
pose for which It was voted, that Is,
a railroad to Bend.
