section between 1913 Un,l i:3 wore

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

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

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 '

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
