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

been made to extend this road to

also to Silver lake, and eastward to

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

This involves a very considerable

be Increased as our traffic grows.
This terminal would be located with

ot the city. We wish to get as closo
in as may bo practicable, but It la
impossible at this time to name a

All these' plans and promises aro
as definite as we can make them

predicated upon the assumption that
our applications are approved by the
commission, without dostructive com
petition; and the support of Klam

"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

service can be justified. It will be
