Its pin, f(ir , section between 1913 Un,l i:3 wore suspended throuKh no fault of Its own. During this entire period an attack was made tlirou.h the courts upon Its hnldlnas of tlio Central Pa cific and an effort muilo to nuke It sell Its Interests In the Central Pa cific. As tho line to Ogdcn and the lines to northern California wore largely of fenlrul Pacific ownership obvlouHly nothing could ho done until that nuestion was 1ll.nn.0d nf As soon as the interstate commerce commission did finally dlxpotio of It by sustaining the claim 0f the Houth. orn Pacific to Its oVnenhlp, work was actively begun upnn Natron cut- 011, to put the Klamath Pulls sen. tlon on tho through trunk line be tween tho North Pacific coast and cniirornlu. nnd more recently It was announeod thill tho Southern Pa cific's further plans, made many years iiko, for serving this territory, lm lulling a direct line to the east, would be carried out, promptly. During all thla time, from 1914 on, the Oregon Trunk, terminating ul Bond, IIS miles north of Klam ath Kalis, unhampered by any legal difficulties, did not seo Its way clear to make any extension southward Into this territory No action was taken until the Southern Pacific In vested a sum running Into many millions In furtherance of Its plans, and hud announced tho main fea tures of Its proposed construction. Hlioeter Haul Favored ' The Southern Pacific points out that there Is no more reason tor tho Oregon Trunk coming southward In to this territory than there Is for the Houthern Pacific lo build Into flood, tho timber products being of tho same nature, while the agricultural products of southern Oregon and northern California In much the larger part find their markets on Southern Pacific lines. To extend tire Southern Pacific lines to Bend or the Oregon Trunk into Klamath territory simply means hauling tim ber products for a longer distance than la necessary, bringing both the rail 'lines and the mills Into an un doslrnblo and not a constructive competition. ' Further, If the agricultural hco tlous were served by the Oregon Trunk to tho exclusion of the South em Pacific, they would be deprived of direct service to greater part of their markets which are reached only by the Southern Pacific. As to distance to eastern markets, tho Southern Pacific points out that lta line as projocted from Klamath Falla via Ogden will be shorter than the Oregon Trunk In connoctlon with lta parent companies to all eastern territories south of and including parts of South Dakota, Minnesota and major part of Wisconsin near ly all of the United Stales east of the llockles. One Vilified System It believes that economic trans portation can best bo glvon thla sec tion by one comprohonslvo system whom there Is unlly In transporta tion, thus providing co-ordination of service from the Initial movement of tho raw matorinl to the final move ment to tho market.' Vbr example, the Htrahoru lino will become n part of the Southern Pacific Immediately after, approval of acquisition of an Interest by the Southern Pacific In so far as rule making Is concerned, and service will bo co-ordlnnted with that or the Southern Pacific, so that for alt practical purposes tho logs that more to the mills and the hand ling of the products from the mills, whother to California markets or the east, will come under one unified system of transportation, with a proper relationship between the cost of movement of raw and manufac tured products and a local service working harmoniously with tho through service. Likewise In devel opment of. an agricultural torrltory. whether moving fn fertiliser, seed, or what not;' whatever may be neces sary to do to co-operate In develop ing that section through the bring ing In of settlers and then, finally. In the distribution and marketing of products thore will be a harmonious relationship established with the service being given by one company having ait hundred per cent Intoroat ;in that development The Southern Pacific points out the groat value to Klamath Falls In the carrying out of Its comprehensive plans as a Whole because of estab lishment of Klamath Falla as a rall- ' Common I'sw 'Opposed ' way center.' ' The 8outheri Pacific opposes the common user theory, which has been to tome extent publicly promoted as a -means of giving the Oregon Trunk access to Klamath Falls ovr the Na tron lti.e of the Southern Pacific, on the ground that no railroad should be permitted (0 Jeopardlte the Investments of another y use of lafter's invested capital In facilities atld thus enabW It to com In with out capital Investment 'and share the business of the- plonere line; patting Itself In position of picking or choos ing what part of a line or what part of the facilities of Us neighbor It may desire. -(Continued on Pago Bin) ir"rs'Vx 6 Bend ir if ' AWRoseburg. fRaunina ' - powrs S , , ; Ki J si grantsPass (Xir!!
