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." '

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.'

PORTLAND, June 20. (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. Xi;
