Stevens, president of the S. P. & S., at that time had selected Meto lious as a division point. Meto lious is about 40 miles' north of Bend. Should the division point be placed in Metolious, as was indicated, this would place Klamath Falls 196 miles south of the division, and in case the Oregon Trunk should extend southward from Klam ath Falls, that city would be a logical point from a mileage view, for a division, if not a southern terminal alone. Extension of the -Oregon Trunk south from Bend will be started just as soon as permission has been granted by the interstate commerce commission, Turner told the council. In their conference with Turner and Witchell, members of the city were told that bids already had been received from contractors for the construction of the viaduct, or over head crossing on Greenwood avenue. With these bids already received, tho council members were Informed that construction of the viaduct would be started in the Immediate future.

Says New Line May Divert Traffic North Without Coming Into K. F. At the chamber of commerce dir ectors meeting yesterday noon W. C. Dalton, a director and member of the chamber railroad commit tee, expressed serious misgivings as to the desirability as a commun ity benefactor, oft a railroad con structed from . Klamath Falls east to Lakeview such as the proposed O. C. ft E. extension, since such a road .according to Dalton, would Invite the construction of a cut off from a point in the upper Williamson river over the divide to Sprague river and thence east. Growing out of such an arrange ment, Dalton said, through traffic would certainly never come through Klamath Falls tout would be routed from the Natron cut-off line at a point on the big marsh across Into the Sprague rhrer valley and thus minimise the importance of the line south into Klamath Falls thence northeasterly back to Sprague river over the present Strahorn line. There would be a big saving in dis tance east over euch a direct line Dalton said. A number of the dir ectors discounted any such possi bility as was pointed out by Mr. Dalton. Situation Discovered , H. D. Mortenson said the sav ing in distance would not amount to over ten miles from such a cut oft route. R. C. Groesbeck said the O. C. ft E. branch from mile post 43, northerly 15 miles to the head of the Williamson river, as had been pet itlonedMor -before the Interstate commerce commission by the Strahorn line, was meant only for a feeder to the main line, to reach Into a valuable body of tim ber and not to connect on to the main S. P. Eugene-Klamath line. While there was no general dis cussion of the Modoc Northern line, from the trend of Mr. Dal ton's remarks it was plainly evl, dent that the Malin rancher favor ed the construction of that line as Klamath's eastern outlet. Chiarmnn W. O. Smith of the railroad committee announced that (Continued on Page Two) PLAN HERE FOR CATTLE SELLING System To Prevent Surplus Market Presented By Cal.

PRETTY ISABELLE TELLS OF LOVER Shepherd Attorneys Fight To Save Client From Death Sentence CHICAGO, June 16. Crystallis ing the drama of the fihepherd case in a few crowded hours of coldly suppressed emotion, pretty 22-year-old Isabella Pope has completed on the witness stand, the story of her love and loss of a millionaire Billy McCllntock. Pitted against the girl In the court room scene was William Scott Stew art, suave young criminal lawyer, who is fighting to save William D. Shepherd from a gallows death, on the charge ot murdering Billy. Two phases featured the day's battle. One came in the reading ot Ltouchlngly light-spirited lettejs the kindergarten teacher had written her young fiance, while he was a student at Dartmouth college. The letter spoke in endearing terms ot Shepherd, and Stewart sought to establish, through these pictures of a happier day, that Shepherd and his wife loved their wealthy ward, and that that love was returned. The second point established was that Isabelle Pope has entered into an agreement with Iowa relatives of Billy's mother, under which she will share the $1,000,000 McCllntock fortune with them it Billy's will leaving the estate to Shepherd, is broken. The three liquor-crazed men who ran amuck near Olene Monday night, with the result that three men were more or less seriously wounded, were questioned by Acting District Attorney Vandenberg yester day, with a view- of linking them up with the recent safe blowings here. As a result of the investiga tion, it was learned that; the youngest member of the party, Charles Fuller, had ' a string of prison records in the state of Idaho. , ' Jim Burk, the man who. is alleged to have shot Kendall,' and who himself was wound ed by one of Kendall's bullets,' proved a tough customer to question. ' . ; "I'll kill you when I get out. of this, and I'll shoot , up : a couple of sheriffs too," Burk said during the course of the interrogation by Vandenberg.' According to Vandenberg' the' men; were not too drunk to re-; member, even some of the mi nutest details that led up to the-isTifjtfting, and Ihe -eVehts' which followed, were recalled.. He . also found , many flaws, which were characterized as. deliberate lies, by the three. That the men were bootleggers was established beyond doubt, when one of the three confessed that he had been peddling liquor for Indian, Tom. Charges of assault with a dan gerous weapon, with intent to kill, will be filed against the three: Ed Fuller, Charles Fuller and Jim Burk, according to Vandenberg. The case' will go before tho present grand Jury session. This charge carries a maximum penalty of life imprison ment. " . Infection has set in in Burk's wounded foot, which may prove ser ious within the next few days. Ken dall, who was operated on yesterday morning, is improving.
