Klamath's Opportunity Is Now!
Issues Before the People on Railroad Question
Should Not Be Clouded
The Klamath country has an opportun
ity that comes but once in a lifetime. It has
that opportunity right now and right now is
the time it must act.
The Southern Pacific and the Oregon
Trunk railroad companies have placed their
plans before this community and a plain
choice must be made between them.
The Oregon Trunk plans to run a branch
line construction south from Bend to Klam
ath Falls, paralleling the Southern Pacific
company's Natron Cut-off and the O. C. & E.
and two of the latter's extensions which the
Southern Pacific is to finance. The North
ern lines have announced they do not intend
to go beyond Klamath Falls and that tbey in
tend to establish only small shops here. Their
line would serve a considerable amount of
timber between here and Bend, the major
part of which wculd move to Bend for man
facture since it is absurd to think that the
Oregon Trunk would make a double haul of
bringing the logs into Klamath Falls for' mill
ing and hauling the lumber back north again.
That is one plan. The ether plain choice
is the Southern Pacific's program.
The Southern Pacific has officially an
nounced it proposes to BUILD A LINE
SOUTH FROM KLAMATH FALLS
THROUGH TULE LAKE REGION CON
NECTING WITH THE BROADGAUGED
N. C O. AND PROVIDING THEREBY
A NEW DIRECT ROUTE TO, THE EAST
AND ALL OF THE PRINCIPAL MAR
KETS OF THE UNITED STATES which
would take any of Klamath county's pro
ducts, whether of farms or of forest, at least
200 miles shorter than the Oregon Trunk line
via Bend. This line would carry 90-pound
rail, rock ballast, and be as good a railroad as
exists anywhere.
Furthermore, THE SOUTHERN PAC
IFIC COMPANY PROPOSALS TO TAKE
OVER THE STRAHORN LINE AND EX
TEND IT SO THAT ALL THE LUMBER
ING ACTIVITIES OF THE ENTIRE KLAM
ATH BASIN WOULD CENTER AT
KLAMATH FALLS. The Strahorn line and
extensions wculd be as good a railroad as the
Oregon Trunk branch from Bend. THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY HAS
STILL FURTHER ANNOUNCED THAT IT
PROPOSED TO LOCATE ITS TERMI
NAL HERE, BRINGING AN INCREASED
PAYROLL TO KLAMATH FALLS OF
$1,200,000 PER YEAR.
Without any thought or threat at mak
ing Klamath Falls a mere whistling post,"
THE. SOUTHERN PACIFIC HAS AN
NOUNCED THAT AS A BUSINESS PRO
POSITION IT CANNOT AFFORD TO
CARRY INTO EFFECT ITS GREAT
t-t
rLAiMo, CENTERING AT KLAMATH
I FA! I G ItT Tur n a it a -t--. . .
THE KLAMATH COUNTRY IS DIVIDED
WITH ANOTHER RAILROAD. The South
ern Pacific executives have been very ex
plicit on this point and there is no doubt they
mean absolutely what they say. The loose
talk about the coming of the Oregon Trunk
forcing the Southern Pacific to build is stuff
and nonsense.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S PRO
GRAM CALLS FOR AN EXPENDITURE
OF $38,000,000 compared with $7,000,000
FOR THE OREGON TRUNK BRANCH
LINE FROM BEND.
THE WHOLE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
PLAN HAS KLAMATH FALLS AS ITS
BASIS. The Oregon Trunk plan is based on
Bend, tending to pull the business that way
and to give Bend the benefit of construction
expenditures.
The Southern Pacific is here on the
ground ready to build while the Oregon
Trunk is 175 miles away. Consider that. ,
The Southern Pacific is fighting for its
program against the opposition of the Oregon
Trunk, the. Public Service Commission of
Oregon, the Coos Bay district, including
Marshfield and North Bend, and possibly
Lakeview. The Oregon Public Service Com
mission, speaking officially for. the state, is
rallying strong support for its plan for the
Crane-Odell shortcut to the East which would
leave Klamath Falls 100 miles to the south.
Disregarding all petty issues or criticism
of the Southern Pacific Company, here is one
big issue where the interests of Klamath coun
ty and the Southern Pacific are identical.
This community should support the Southern
Pacific program, and we believe that this com
munity as a matter of self interest will sup
port the Southern Pacific program. The
lumber interests are practically 1 00 per cent
for it, the great body of the farmers who are
just as much concerned to get a short line to
the East, are also strongly for 1 it. AND
KLAMATH FALLS CANNOT AFFORD
TO IGNORE THE LUMBERMEN AND
THE FARMERS WHOSE TRADE HAS
BUILT THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS
And made possible a livelihood
FOR ALL OF US. A substantial MAJOR
ITY OF THE BUSINESS INTERESTS also
are outright for the Southern Pacific plan.
We have but a few days in which io
speak our mind. Let us speak it clearly so
that we may get the needed railroad lines
built here, avoiding possibilities of years of
delay.

tor a year I have gone around with
a smile on my face and my heart
fairly bursting but now 1 find
myself weakening. Something mast
be done. In order to make my case
plain to you I must begin at the
beginning. I had been hard work
ing and conservative, a business
girl for eight years, and bad a beat '
little savings account amounting
to ll.ooo. My huahand I found
after our marriage to have nothing
but debts. This, however, mad no'

most of the time for a year. I over
looked his fault and Imagined my
self very happy, petting and wait
ing on him like a baby. ' Some
times he would snap and quarrel,
but I would never quarrel bark.
Finally, due to my getting bad and
not bring abl to work regularly,
I lost my Job. My money nave out
