Through the efforts of the state land board lust year there were 7(10 families interested In Oregon to the extent that they became residents and citizens not a one of these families cume to Klumalli county. I ntil a very few weeks njro, when Sir. Foster wns asked concerning the resources of this county, did ho learn of the vast potential possibilities of this In land empire, when through Ms own Initiative lie visited here nnd made a tour of inspection. He is now an enthusiast ic booster for this, ns well as other parts of the state. And his message today Is directed lo those In the county who desire to sec Klnnmtli conio Into Its own. Kvery business man 1ms tho future of this wonderful county at heart, and no doubt there will bo a big turnout. Don't let anything keep yon from being at the cham ber of commerce forum luncheon today at noon nnd hearing what Mr. Foster hns to say. him In securing the money needed to carry out his plan of changing that road from narrow gauge to standard gauge. "The arrangement Is, of course,, subject to the approval of the In terstate commerce commission. If approved, it will give the South ern . Pacific : a substantial interest in. the. Nevada-California -Oregon railway, which will be rebuilt as a broad gauge line under South ern Pacific auspice's. . Its distance is 165 miles, between -Lakeview, Oregon, and Wendekj California,, where It , connects,? i 8. ntile ': easti of Susanvllle, with the Fernley branch of ;the-Southern' Pacific "Mr. Sproule announces at the same time that Southern Pacific company has completed negotia tions with Mr. R. E, Strahorn, president of Oregon, California and Eastern railway company, under which funds will be ad vanced to Mr. Strahorn to aid in the construction of the line of his company from Klamath Falls, Oregon, to connection with the Nevada-California-Oregoa railway. "This will likewise require the approval of - the interstate om-. merce commission and, if approv ed, will give the Southern Pacific a substantial stock interest in the Oregon, California and Eastern railway, which now extends 40 miles from point of connection with Southern Pacific at Klam ath Falls easterly to Sprague River, Oregon. "The completion of the Oregon California and Eastern, which is a standard gauge line, will pro vide a new artery through south ern and central Oregon for through traffic between Oregon and the eastern states. "Application will be made In due course for permission nnd authority to put these plans Into effect. "These transactions are in ac cord with the general policy of the Southern Pacific company, which looks to the development of the territory it serves, as already shown by the transportation fa cilities it has provided in Ore gon and those now under con struction, to which these new ad ditions come in natural sequence." With Hotbed Here Klamath May Be on Main Line of Trunk Road Running East and West, Through Short Cut of 413 Miles on S. P. Line To the East; N. C. 0. To Be Broad-Gauged; City's Investment "Is Good As Gold," Through New Status. Sporadic rumblings of a gigantic railroad war, with something far more significant than possession of southern and eastern Oregon, but with Klamath Falls as the hot-bed of contention, broke into the roar of an impending battle of giants when Robert E. Strahorn announced to the world before a special meeting of the chamber of commerce board of di rectors last night that the Southern Pacific had taken under its wing two infant railroads the Oregon, California aad Eastern, and . the Nevada, California and Oregon, two small but powerful factors in the railroad possession situation. N. C. O. TO BE STANDARDIZED, ' Mr. Strahorn read before the chamber directors m tele gram received yesterday morning from President Sproule of xl e .1 n e- . . i . - r r .. r me uuincrn raciuc . . a . anuDSTemciai inieresv wmra Biecuss control, has been acquired in the N. C. O., which runs from Lakeview to Wendel, Calif. The line is at present a narrow gauge road, but will be standardized at once by the Southern Pacific. The arrangement with the 'Strahorn line is somewhat of a big brother agreement, whereby the Southern Pacific will advance funds to Mr. Strahorn so that he may carry on the plans of extension for his road the O. C. & E.) But the Southern Pacific will, in reality, control the O. C." & E. The O. C. & E. will be extended to a connection with the N.' C. O., perhaps at Lakeview along the surveys Strahorn has already practically completed. SHORT CUT FOR S. P. TRUNK LINE This arrangement will bring the Southern Pacific to Lake-"' view rrom iviamain rails, out it win do more man mac ic will provide, as soon as the line south from Lakeview is broad gauged, a new Southern Pacific route to the east, jl3 miles, shorter ' than by present trackage, with , easier grades and curves, and eliminates two mountain ranges, the Siskiyou and Sierra Nevada, from the path of Southern Pacific trains. The salient feature of the Southern Pacific's action as announced last night, insofar as Klamath Falls is. directly concerned is, that instead of having a battle with the Strahorn lines for a right-of-way, the Northern Pacific and Great Nor thern, joint owners of the Oregon Trunk, will now find the Southern Pacific system standing beside the Strahorn road, plans of extension for his road (the O. C. & E.) But the assisting them in their railroad extension. "The action of the Southern Pacific in financially back ing the O. C. & E. should dispel any existing doubt as to the precarious condition of the railroad's bonds, invested by the city of Klamath Falls to the extent of $300,000," Strahorn declared last night. "They are as good as gold." PKKMIKIl'M MOTHER 1IE9 LONDON, May 19. Mrs. Alfred Baldwin, mother of Premier Stan ley M. Baldwins, died today. fixed by President Turner, said to bo about $120,000.
