(United News) Reasons for re questing authority to extend its rail lines from Bend to Klam ath Falls were outlined by the Oregon Trunk railway company in a formal reply to the voluminous questionaire received re cently from the interstate commerce commission. ' Justification for the extension is claimed by the Oregon Trunk on the basis that a great amount of traffic lies in the Klamath basin awaiting development, and because it will cause new industries to be established in Klamath Falls. The , interstate commerce commission hearing wilt likely be in September. Incidentally a notation attached to the reply formally places the company on record as favoring the easterly survey through the Sycan, Sprague and Williamson river districts, and abandoning any further effort to develop the survey south ward along the west shore of Klamath lake.; ' ; ' .- ' : Lumber 'Chief Objective. Derails of the proposed construction topography of the country to be penetrated, estimates of the traffic to be orig inated., and DroDosed methods of .Deration ar dwelt utxm extensively in reply to the question propounded by the com mission. In reply to questions regarding the 'traffic to be de veloped, the report reads as follows : "While vit is expected that the proposed new line will re- ceive support from the general community and from the gen eral development of the area to be served, its chief support will come from the establishment of new and additional lum ber manufacturing plants in the territory. "Several of the owners of large areas of pine have reach ed a point at which their timber must be cut and marketed, and it is anticipated that as the demand for pine lumber in creases in the consuming territories, additional lumber manu facturing industries will be served, and these industries will require direct transportation to the markets reached by the applicant and the lines of its parent companies, and their affiliated companies and connections. Large Mills To Come "Applicant is advised that Weyerhauser Timber company and Shevlin-Hixon company have determined to build mills of large capacity at Klamath Falls. "The markets in which these companies for many years have sold their outputs are those located in the middle west states." The company said that it did not expect to have profit able operation immediately, but believed that the large amount of long-haul tonnage developed would justify the additional capital investment. . In conclusion the report calls attention to the fact that there is approximately 40,000,000,000 feet of timber- await ing development in the Klamath territory, and that it will re quire 50 years or more to remove the timber even under in tensive timbering operations. Attention also is called to the fact that the company already has expended $16,000,000 in initial construction work southward as far as Bend from the Columbia river, in its movement toward the Klamath goal. The data for the reply was prepared by Charles Hart, attorney for the Oregon Trunk line. OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla., July 23.
