C. For Common User Of S. P. Line By Oregon Trunk From Skookum To Klamath Falls SALEM, May 23. The ne cessity for a common-user agreement between the Ore son Trunk railroad and the Oregon public service commis sion in an answer filed with the interstate commerce com mission today. The petition is in answer to the petition of the Oregon Trunk railway for a certificate of public convenience and ne cessity, authorizing the extcn do-j8on of ;ts from Bend t ! Klamath Fall. While the Oregon public service commission in its an-, swer, urges the need of the additional rail service in cen tral and southern Oregon, it strongly urges that this service be afforded withnj.-t unneces sary duplication of investment. Particular attention is call ed to the fact that under the proposed plan of the Oregon Trunk,- its trackage would parallel the line of the South ern Pacific company for 80 miles, from a junction point near Odell or Skookum to Klamath Falls, and that the identical service might be af forded at a saving of more than $3,500,000 in capital in vestment by arrangement for joint use of the Southern Pa cific tracks between these two points. It was the recommcn dation of the Oregon commis sion in the Kephert report, filed last year, that the S. P. and Northern lines use the same road from Odell to Klam ath Falls.

Historic Points In Klamath Will Get Advertising Pres. Vining Of Oregon C. Of C. To Devote Time To Photographing Old Land Marks Here Professor Irving E. Vining, of Ashland, president of the Oregon state chamber of commerce, arrived In Klamath Falls yesterday and planB to spend tho next week or ten days in an extensive photo graphing expedition with Captain O. C. Applegate to the various scenic and historic points in the vicinity of Klamath Falls. Expert photographers from both Portland and San Francisco will Join Mr. Vining here Monday and the party will set out for tho famous lava beds district for the opening of the picture making cam-' paign. In addition to the photo graphs Professor Vining plans to take notes of Captain Applegate's accounts of Modoc war events. The stone bridge below Merrill, famous land mark of early pioneers, will be one of the IlrBt points visited, and near the famous stone bridge, tho Captain will point out the ex act site where the Modoc war riors were camped and where the first skirmish, between Fort Klam ath soldiers and the Modocs, opened- the--hostilities. ot 4haL. bloody little war In 1872. ' . The heiroglyphphlcs painted by an unknown race of early aborigines on the cliffs at the south end ot the tule lake bed, will be photo graphed. Prison Island where the early, warriors held their captives secure from rescuo parties, out in the lake, will be visited and the fortifications studied. At this point the skulls of two white women were found in the rocks by a souvenir searching party a few years ago. Indian Pictures One of the chief points of Interest to be visited on the initial trip will bo the Stronghold and natural rock intrenchments where the little group of Modocs held several hun dred soldiers at bay for months. Just beyond the Stronghold the Canby cross will be visited, the exact spot of the massacre of the peace commission headed by Gen eral Canby. Captain Applegate will outline the full details of this event which inflamed the whole country at that time. Following the lava bed trip Pro fessor Vining has a most original plan of publicity photography which he will work out on the Klamath Indian reservation. Tho plan is to prevail upon some of tho old time Indians ot dress In tholr pre-civil-Izatlon garb and pose for the cam era. Tho replica of a scantllly dressed savage in a dug-out canoe on tho Williamson river, poising a spear ready to hurl at a salmon, will be filmed. Then as a contrast a picture will be taken of a mod ern Indian school graduate piloting a power boat. Othor interesting contrasts and replicas of tho old and the new will be filmed and from these pictures cuts will be made for use In Oregon advertis ing and publicity circulars and mag zlnes.

CHANGES SLATED METHODS, CLAIM lurvey Board Enroute To Klamath Falls Say Other States Should, Follow In Wake of Wash. On State Land Aid . . - : ' PORTLAND,. May 23. A com plete disorganization of the federal reclamation program may result if othe states should follow the lead set by Washington when Governor Hartley refused to sign a contract pledging state old in settling up the Kittitas project. This was the opinion expressed by members of the board of survey and adjustment of federal reclama tion here, today. Thomas E. Campbell, "ex-governor, of Arizona and F. M. Good win, members of the so-called south ern division of the commission wero here enrouto to Klamath county to survey the project there. Governor Hartley refused to pledge state aid in financing set tlers because he held It would bind the state to "unlimited liability." The Kittitas project embraces 70, 000 acres and the government has already appropriated $9,000,000 for the work. . "! Secretary's Stand Secretary of Interior Hubert Work has taken stand that money appropriated for reclamation shall not be allocated until the respective states agree to finance and locate settlers, Goodwin pointed out, . Should various other states through htelr governors, follow the lead set by Washington practically all the new proposed reclamation, affected by the state settlement clause, will be tied up, he predicted. '. Goodwin said that it was the hope of the commission the matter ot the Kittitas unit and three new projects on Oregon Vale, Baker and Owyhee would be disposed of when Secretary Work visits the northwest In July. Goodwin said Gov. Hartley him self was wrong In holding his state would bo pledged to "unlimited lia bility" in the Kittitas case. "Tho state would not have to provide more than $250,000 as against $9,000,000 appropriated by the government," Goodwin said. "Much cf that would be In the way ot loans and not direct out-of-hand payments." 1 Bricklayers Union Head Is In K. F.
