Barrendoa was caught near the end of a 600-foot tunnel at the Crant Creek camn. near Yreka.

Two companions aaved their lives bv iumnlnr back when they aaw the rock crumbling from the sldea of the tunnel.

(United News) President Coolidge la utilizing his vacation In the ae eluded nook along the aea here to t closer in touch with the flealras and opinions of the whole AmeTlcan people. The ' president la sending out "trial ballota" on vario la govern ment subjects through his press conferences and through Interviews with the prominent men who can upon htm and he la watching the public response with, much Interest. We have reviewed with Interest the announcement of the Southern Pacific company . regarding.' their plana for development In this' vic inity,' a copy of which la attached to this abatement.. , :. . ; ... Having faith, and the published assurance that the Southera - Pao. lflc-company, will .carry. "eat with "; quick dispatch these plana if ' pel- ' mltted to do ao, it Uj our belief that the plana thua. announced by the Southern Pacltlc' tompaay would make Klamath Falls a rail road center, having a direct route to Portland and tne, norm coa via the Kirk and Eugene road, and a direct route 10 hi x iuti California, via Dunsmulr, ' and the wonainna east to connection via. Ogden, giving us the great advan tage of a short and direct connec tion to our markets there la the railroad development program that would best serve the transportation needs of this community and bring about the fullest and most rapid growth ot this region. Their plan affords the most direct route to practically all the markets wntca properly belong to or could best be served by the Klamath region. It gives the commodities grown or produced In this section, mainly those of agriculture, stock raising, lumber manufacture, the most direct, economical, and feaalble eon.. nectlon with the large maraeie which desite our products. -There M IVI. can be no short' or. more wbbio.o route than that offered by tne southern Pacific to Portland and San Francisco, and a direct . line east will be of Inestimable value in iho iterelooment ot this section. This line Will shorten the distance east over two hundred caoo) mues as fine a position as that enjoyed and will place Klamath Falla In aa fine a position as that enjoyed by any city In the west. These connections provide routes over which tourists would most nat urally enter our country from the north, south or east, and tourists are desirable visitors who often be come permanently Identified with a section which they visit, either as Investors or residents. Wa believe this development to be so important to this section that it should receive our earnest ana hearty support. We believe that It permission Is granted to Immediate ly construct the plan as outlined that the transportation needs of this community will be fully taken care ot and that there will 1e no need of further railroad develop ment In this region for the present or in the very near iuiure, we flours that the pioneering Incident to the development ot thla country has been undertaken by the South ern Pacific and that large lnvest ments have been entered Into In order to do thla, and that now that development is . taking place that (Continued on Page Two) III.
