Of the second ward. Notwithstanding the fact that the j
people ot the socoml ward wont on .record by a' heavy
vote as being against tho closing of the streets and al
loys, ii is now proposed to cut down the number and
area. Not one foot of any street or alloy should be
given away by the council. It is not the property of
the members to pass out as they see tit. those streets
and alllys belting to the city as a whole and this Eaot
should be recognized by the council. If the council
persists in answering to the crack of the whip of private
individuals) there is only one remedy left the recall,
and it is a certainty that it will be used unless a change
in attitude is taken by the members who so flagrantly
ignore the will of the people.

COUNCIL SEEKS TO DODGE AGAIN
The mental calibre of the city council was manifested
last night, when it blamed the property owner for the
condition of the Esplanade at the Southern Pacific
bridge. The property owner has nothing to do with it.
Under the city ordinance the contractor has to put up a
bond that provides for the restoration of the street to
the same condition in which he found it. Instead of di
recting the contractor to immediately repair the
and maintain it in a passable condition, the council
seeks to slide out from under and let the responsibility
rest upon the shoulders of the property owner. This lrom tn

the city for over a year and they would still be in exist
ence if civic bodies did not make a personal appeal to
the Warren Construction company and succeeded in get
ting that concern to make the' repairs before finally
closing down for the winter. The people living in Hot
Springs addition, on Michigan avenue" and others that
are forced to use this thoroughfare, should go after the
members of the council and demand that the attitude of
insolence and indifference assumed by the members be
dropped and that they see to it that not onlv this street
but all others, are kept in a passable condition. Auto
mobiles are damaged and lives are endangered in this
particular case, on account of the location of the ditch at
the foot of the steep incline and its close proximity to
the center pier of the bridge. It is another piece of
eviueiice oi ine uner wortniessness of the present council,
or four members of it, for Councilman Powell cannot be
classed as being among those pursuing the "we don't

It the capital outlay for each is held

PORTLAND, Pee. 15. Wide
spread Interest In banking and rail
road circles here mnrked publica
tion of the brief filed today by the
Northern lines In Washington before
the Interstate Commerce commosslon
in support of Its application to that
body for permission to enter th
Klamafh Kalis dlfitrlct.
Tho brief sots forth the fact that
tho Northern linen have up to the
present time expended $100.000,0iili
to enter Oregon and that flG.ODO.r
000 of this sum hns been spent in
Oregon Trunk construction.
Of this latter sum, It Is stated that
a negligible return has been receiv
ed, largely duo to lack of lines whieh
iron Id tap the heavy producing see-
tlons of the state, such as the Klam
ath region.
To Increase cut
Attention Is called to the slate
mont oi Weyerhaeuier Tlmllor com
pany offii lals that the annual tim
ber cut in Klamath county will in
the next t"W years exceed 700,000v
000 feet, or approximately double
that of the output of tho mills at the
present time.
Attention !vs paid to the statement
of P. J. iWwolI, consulting engineer
of the Oregon Public Service commis
sion, who said that the present out
of 10,000 'ears would reach 20,000
In three yeafe ami 50,000 In ten
yer.ru. and that it would rotmlre 70
years before the cut would nitaln
drop to 10.000 cars.
In closing?, tho brief sets forth
that the ouposltlon developed by the
Southern I'aciflc and Its friends in
this community Is not because of fear
that nny preMMt Investment will he
Imperiled, but to prevent any possi
bility thai the Southern Paeltic may
nol have undisputed sway over the
Klamath i .--gion. '
Sudden Knorfty
It is shown that announcement of
the Northi rn lines that they Intended
to give this section the benefit of
competitive rail development was fol
lowed Iran idlately by n wild scram
ble on the part of the Southern I'a
ciflc.. Wlifr a : udden desire to h" of ser
vice to isolated regions Irjythe Klam
ath district which had previously
been deem id unworthy of any con
sideration, 4 fin .Southern I'aciflc
confronted with the spectre of com
petition, proceeded with a lavish
hand about the business of promis
ing rnllro hi to every seclinn.
An option was obtained on the
Btrnhorn line and application made
t extend it to l.akevlew and also
to run ii ilown the Williamson river,
paralleling the proposed Northern
lines' con truatfott.
Permission was also asked by-the
Boutin in ia If to Go build a 3U-mlle
