' Well! Well. ' WiJ Does It
Mean?
Of courne you read the Evening Herald' new ittory
Saturday evening from the Int;rntate Commerce commission :
which stated the Southern Pacific would build the Modoc
Northern out from Alturtw 61 miles into and through the tim
ber, and then stop.
The extension to Klamath Falls was waved aside with
mere gesture and no assurance was given regarding it.
It is difficult for us to believe that the Southern Pacific
or any other big railroad, manned by able men as the South
ern Pacific is, would contemplate such a bob-tailed piece of
railroad construction when 40 mies more, would connect their
lines, open up a vast area of country for agriculture and serve
a fine section already developed.
There is no line of economic reasoning that will permit
the plan as announced Saturday to stand. -
On first thought one' is inclined to think the story was
given out incomplete; that the Southern Pacific had not been
consulted as to fact; that the mere fact of Pickering locating
a mill in Alturas cannot stand in the way of country-wide de
velopment. Suppose the Pickering product is the prize for
which the Southern Pacific is striving, as it has been reported,
is not the general welfare of the entire zone of country to be
considered?
Kailroad companies can no
their money to develop a little section and at the same time
penalize a big area. That is exactly why there is an Inter
state Commerce commission. r .. ...
Vstatc again, that we cannot think the Southern Pacif
ic would be so shortsighted as the first reports might indicate,
and therefore we refuse to enter into the question seriously
until more proof is given that the big railroad' corporation
really intends to build 61 miles from Alturus and there stop
construction with Klamath Falls only 40 miles away.
