"I feel no hesitancy in accepting the appointment," said Mr. Jones yesterday, "as there is absolutely nothing personal In it as far as I am concerned. I can see no reason why I should not handle the case,' as I was appointed by tho court because.

"We at first welcomed them. But when announcement after announce ment came from the Southern Pac ific of rail extension here, we be gan to analyze.

"Mr. Sproule m?ans what he says, when he declares the S. P. program will not be carried out If . the Northern lines are permitted to en ter. This new route east is going to give ns a wonderful eastern outleit, an outlet that will save more shipping time from Klamath Falls than any other road.
