BONANZA ROAD
I
TO BE FILED
Petition Seeks $132,000
to Build 18-Mile -Line.
PLAN LISTED AS
SELF-LIQUIDATING
Economic Advantage
Cited in Formal Bid
For Approval.
Application for S132.600 loan
from the public works adminis
tration for construction ot an 18
mile railroad from Dairy through
Bonanza to a point near the Ger
ber reservoir, has been prepared,
and will be filed immediately
with the PWA.
The Southern Oregon Rail
road company, a private corpor
ation of which R. H. Hovey ot
Klamath Falls is president, is
making the application on a non
grant basis as a self-sustaining
project.
Would Provide 225 Jobs '
Total cost ot the railroad con
struction project would be $265,-
813, and It Is estimated it would
provide work for 225 men for
five months. It is offered "aa
an aid to the conservation and
sustained production ot natural
and manufactured forest pro
ducts and the products of agri
culture" in the application pre
pared by R. E. Bradbury, who la
agent of the company.
The proposed railroad would
connect with the O. C & E. at
Dairy, and extending through
Bonanza would provide railroad
facilities for the agricultural area
surrounding that community. It
would then continue into the
heavily timbered country beyond,
tapping area estimated to have
enough standing timber to per
mit harvest of from 19 to IE
years duration.
Rednced Cost Wanted
The application points out that
75 per cent of the raw material
consisting ot logs in the Klam
ath district is transported from
the forest to sawmills over rail
roads owned either wholly or In
part by individual lumber man
ufacturing companies. About 25
per cent are dependent upon
sources ot log supply from ter
ritory without railroad facilities,
which entails in many instances
long truck hauls, intermittent
supply and higher costs.
The proposed project, it is
pointed out, would provide a de
pendable source of log supply for
a considerable portion of the raw
material requirements of that
portion - ot the lumber manu
facturing plants that are without
their own timber and transporta
tion facilities.
As to the nnemployment re
lief feature, the railroad project
is believed to be particularly de
sirable at this time. The appli
cation gives an exhaustive report
on unemployment conditions hare
which would be partially relieved
by the labor made available
through tbe railroad construc
tion. Preliminary Steps Taken
It is understood- the gootfcecn
Oregon Railroad company has al
ready taken preliminary step
