LEVENS Placing Terminal Here Contingent on I. C. . C. Granting Extensions Applied For, and Upon Whether Destructive To S. P. Competition Enters Field; K. F. Assured of Being on Main East-West Line. -. The Southern Pacific terminal will be located in or on the outskirts of Klamath Falls. This was the official announce tnent of Paul Shoup, executive vice president of the Southern ' Pacific, in a letter to the chamber of commerce last nifht. ' 4 . The location of the shops here is contingent upon the ap proral by the interstate commerce commission of the Southem Pacific's various requests for extensions, such as the Klamath Falla-Lakevinw roadnd theMofleNo)rthet,..U is also J?os,&... tingeht upon' wtether destructive competition "is permitted 'to ?" enter the field. ' . .. . It is also stated emphatically that Klamath Falls will be on the main line of the through route from Ogden to the east ria the Central Pacific, and not be left out of the main line picture through a cut-off at the Williamson river, north of here. - It would seem by the official an- nouncement, coming as it does, from the executive vice president of the Southern Pacific, that Klamath Falls, after all, would be the terminal site, rather than Fuego, as frequently and spasmodically reported. Shoup's Announcement Following Is the announcement of Mr. Shoup to the chamber of com merce: "In response to requests that we clarify the situation with respect to nnr ntnna for the ripvetonment of transportation facilities In Klamath Falls, southern Oregon and northern California generally, they have been matured to tne extent mat enaoies m"ka ,th ,0"owl"g statDemft uu " ". ouui...... company, authoritatively In mak - lug 11 tuupruueu-ive, siaieiueuiB heretofore published are to some ex tent reviewed therein: Xo Switching Charges "1. The Southern Pacific has ac quired, subject to approval ot the interstate commerce commission, an IntoroHt In the Strahorn railroad lho ' c: B ) and application has been made to extend this road to a ' point on Williamson rivor, and also to Silver lake, and eastward to Lakeviow. Tho Southern Pacific has mado application to the Interstate commerce commission tor authority to extend Ita lino southward through the Malln and Morrill territory forty miles to Cornell. The Sotithorn Pa cific, which has acquired all the common stock of the N. C. O., sub ject to the approval of tho interstate commerce commission, has agreed to broad-gauge tho entiro lino into Lakevlbw. , "3. The Strahorn line (the O. C. & E.), if the taking over of an Interest In this system is approved by the commission, will within six months after their approval be made part and parcel of tbe Southern Pa cific system so far as rate-making Is concerned; Mr. Strahorn having concurred In this plan. Links With Central Pacific "3. Through the applications made and such other applications as are necessary, the interstate com merce commission will bo asked for authority to creato a line through from Klamath Falls to connect with the Central Pacific, giving a route via Ogden that will bo reasonably direct, and avoid the present longor haul through Weed: and upon ap proval ot the commission we will promptly undertake the construction of this line and build 11 within the time set by the commission, Our study of the territory to be served, construction costs, and oper Price Five Cents SHOPS TO K. F.; ating conditions are not yet com plete, but we will complete these investigations within a reasonable time, and upon their completion will . announce the route to the east to be taken to connect with the Cen tral Pacific. K. F. On Eaat-West Route ' ' "4. We have been asked whether or not there la any prospect that a cut-off between the Natron line and the Strahorn line at Williamson river would be constructed In the event we took over the Strahorn line, thereby placing Klamath Falls oft the direct through route from Og den to the east via tbe Central Pa cific. ' It has not at any time been ! given any consideration. In fact. the suggestion nor d(J we did not come from us. know who suggested such a route. Terminal Here "5. If our applications are ap proved we will locate our terminal for this district at Klamath Falls. This involves a very considerable payroll at Klamnth Falls, which will be Increased as our traffic grows. This terminal would be located with in six or eight miles of the center ot the city. We wish to get as closo in as may bo practicable, but It la impossible at this time to name a more specific location. All these' plans and promises aro as definite as we can make them just at this time and are, of course. predicated upon the assumption that our applications are approved by the commission, without dostructive com petition; and the support of Klam ath Falls for our program Is as sumed. To Develop K. F. "Supplementing tho foregoing statement of our work as planned, It will be noted that not only will Klamath Falls become a very con siderable railroad center, but that through our lines will he able to roach substantially all of the mar kots of the United States for Its products with direct service. Lo cally It will bo connected with all Its tributary reglona where railway service can be justified. It will be on a main trunk line between north Pacific coast polnta and California. It will be on a throngh line between 'Portland and western Oregon and the east; this line will give direct service to tho cast for the Klamath region.
