"Any talk that negotiations nre pending between our lines and the Southern Pacific for a division of traffic, dividing the hauls on Cali fornia freight, Is false.

Sent. 18 Rp. action against federal domin ance of scenic, sport and for est areas in the west appears to fetephen T. Mather, director of national parks, to be incon gruous with the desire of wes tern states to gather in the tourist dollars. "As far as addition to the area of Crater lake national park Is con cerned." said Mather, "It Is a Joke to think that Inclusion of any new territory would do any harm to the state." Mather implied that the park ser vice would like to have Diamond lake Included In Crater lake national park because, he pointed out, that -. wonderful hatchery development had been built up at Yellowstone nation al park and that an arrangement had been made with the state of lalirornta for hatchery operations In Yosemite national park. Much of the opposition that has developed against inclusion of Diamond lake In Crater national park has developed In the ranks of sportsmen, who be lieve that the huge Diamond lake fish egg-taking station should re main under control of the state. Mather and Congressman Cramp ton will leave tonight for.a..viBU. to Crater lake. . . Merrill went on record last night at a meeting in the com munity hall there as unani mously favoring the present Southern Pacific program.

There was no hostile feeling ex pressed by Merrill folk at the meet ing against the action taken the night before at its neighboring town of Malin, when after most of the gathering broke up, a unan imous vote was taken favoring the Northern lines and against the Southern Pacific. They took the attitude that each community should decide for Itself what is most needed. Two' Evening Herald reporters,' pencil and notebook were on hand to report the meeting. Inasmuch as J. J. Miller, of the Southern Pacific was at the Malin meeting, unLeknown to the Klamatfr News, night before last, Ibut was accused of being a Klamath News report er, and Inasmuch as J. J. Miller was not present at Merrill's meet ing last night, widespread interest is manifest as to who this myster ious .News reporter really Is. Paul Sboup ln disguise? Or could It have been Arthur Brisbane, or per haps Ring Lardner. Rumpus in Army By Major Gen. Rogers WASHINGTON. Sept. 18.
