BIG MOGUL HAS NO MESSAGE OF IMPORT TO GIVE Northern Officials Given Hearty Welcome By Klamath Country The proapert of an Important railway announcement, and the de ire to welcome to Klamath county the hlgheat official of the Northern Pacific and the 8. P A 8. branchea of the great Hill tinea, called to gether over COO people of aouthern Oregon and northern California at a public reception at the White Pel ican hotel laat night. According to obaerver at laat night' moetlng. no community ever ( ffered a' more cordial or warmer welcome to vialting railroad build- era, but owing to condition making It Impoaalble nt thl time for tho dlatlngulahed viallor lo make any definite announcement of plana or rollcy, the crowd drifted away from the meeting. vUlhly disappointed that their hope, which bad been keyed up by false newspaper pre diction, were deallned to no Im mediate realisation. No Particular Miwaago C. W. Kberleln, chairman of the general committee on arrangement lor the meeting, briefly Introduced ( harlea II. Carey of Portland, vice prealdent of the Oregon Trunk, and general counsel for the 8. P. ft 8. line. Judge Carey aald he dealred to express the appreciation of Mr. Donnelly and tho entire party of vlsltora for the most cordial welcome extended to them In Klamath Kalla. "We regret that we have no par ticular mnsaage lo deliver to you at thl llino." the speaker aald. "hut in thla day and age a railroad can not he built without permission from the Interstate commerce commission. Ihe Oregon Trunk, owned Jointly by the Creut Northern and Northern Pacific, has made formal applica tion to the commission to build from Rend to Klamnth Fulls, two routes being Indicated, one coming In here from tho east and the other around tho west aldo of Klamath lake. "A hearing with a representative of Ihe Interstate commerce commis sion on the convenience and neces sity for building this line will short ly he held, and that hearing will be a formal examination of the whole subject to nscorluln whothcr or not iho new construction' Is Justified from a business standpoint. "New lines coming Into thl ter ritory must show that they will not deprive existing lines of the traffic they already hare, but they must establish tbe possibilities of develop ing additional business. 11 must be proven to the commission that the new lltie will pay. The Northern roads want tho assistance of the Xlamalh people, they want the peo ple to assist them in proving to the commission that the new construc tion Is necessary, and absolutely Jus tified. .Not Antagonizing "We wish to make It especially plain that the Northern roads have no intention of antagonizing any ex isting railway lines. We want tho question decided absolutely on its merits. It is strictly a question or business." At tho close nt his talk, Judgo Carey aald President Donnelly and Ms party wished to meet and shake hands with every man, woman, and child In attendance at the moetlng, ' we want to be friend with you reople," he said, "and we havo ab solutely nothing to conceal." ' Correct Xante The following Is the comploto list cf Ihe visiting party, who were most cordial in their reception to the big local crowd last night: Charles Donnelly of Bt Paul, president of tho Northern Pacific; Arthur C.

BUILDING TRADES HERE TO ORGANIZE General Contractors Aas'n, May Be Formed At Meeting Mon.1 The following slalimei.t was given to the Klamath Now last night by Charles Donnelly, presi dent of the Northern Pacific rail road. A big crowd of enthusiastic friends of the Northern line ga'.h ered at the White Pelican lost night to honor the visiting officials and while no Important statement was forthcoming the welcome was none the leas sincere. "Sixteen year ago the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railway companies constructed a line of railroad from Fallbrldge to Bend. Probably no one supposed that the southerly terminal of this line was to be fixed permanently at Bend. It was inevitable that the line should be extended whenever the development, actual or prospec tive, of tbe Immense resources of the adjacent territory made its ex tension necessary or desirable. In the. Judgment of the directorate of the two companies that time has now arrived, and we hare applied to the Interstate commerce com mission tor the certificate which Is a necessary preliminary to the act ual -work of construction. This ap plication will doubtless be heard and disposed of by tbe commission in the near future. ' Calls War Nonsense ' A few days ago Mr. Sprcule was quoted as having - said, with the terseness and energy and directness which are characteristic of him, that tbe Southern Pacific was not en gaged In any contest in this mat ter, and that it was simply minding Its own business. We were glad to see this statement, .because Its effect was to strip the subject of much of the nonsense "with which It has been Invested. There is not rnow, nor has there ever been, any contest with the Southern Pacific about this matter. In the conduct ot the business for which our lines were constructed across the conti nent to Oregon and Washington. we are dimply proposing to extend them Into territory which they were built to serve. In taking so natural and obvious a step we have as lit tle thought of waging a contest against the Southern Pacific as that company bas bad ot waging a contest against u In making the extensions which It proposes. Ilelieve We Arc Wanted We believe that with the develop ments which will follow upon the construction of our line there will be -traffic for both the Southern Pacific and ourselves; that the peo ple ot this vicinity desire our ser vice and that they will evidence this desire by giving us our share of the traffic. And it Is on these as sumptions that we are pressing our application before the commission.' Northern Lines To Go To Susanville SaysBuddOfG.N. First Official Announcement Of Intention To Invade California Made in Portland By Great Northern President A conference of the general con tractors cf Klamath Falls Is being called by business representative Long of the Central Labor union for tho purpose of establishing agree ments between the general contrac tor and the basic building trades on Monday at 2 p. m, at the Central Labor Union hall.

(United Pre) A railroad war of unprecedented proportions in the Pacific northwest loomed today as a result of the apparent intention of the Northern lines to push the Oregon Trunk railroad south from Bend to Klamath Falls and then into California. Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern, today ad mitted that serious consideration is beinf given to a program which would extend the Oregon Trunk railway as far south as Susanville, California. This is the first public official state ment by a Northern line- official that they intend to invade California. f Budd, Louis W. Hill, chairman of the board of directors, and nearly a score of officials of the Great Northern line, arrived here today, enroute to Bend to view the central Ore gon program first hand. They will join a party of officials of the Northern Pa cific railway, who will go from Klamath Falls to Bend, also bent on inspection of the new route for the Oregon Trunk railroad. The Oregon Trunk is jointly owned by these two great systems. Railroad men here pointed out the significance, of the Northern lines' intention of entering California. Susanville is not far from Westwood Junction, and this latter point is near friendly lines that might eventually give the Northern lines entry into San Francisco. . , ' "SusanviRe is not far from Westwood Junction, and West wood Junction is mighty near some facilities that might mean a lot to the Northern lines," Budd said pointedly.
