Main Weapons Of Opposition Argument
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 9. One of the big surprises
of the Klamath rail hearing came this afternoon when a
telegram was read from Carl R. Gray, president of the
Union Pacific in which he virtually declared war on the
Northern lines and became allied with the Southern
Pacific in its battle for possession of central Oregon and
particularly the Klamath basin.
The trunk lines of the west are now lined up in the
same formation they took in the famous Hill-Harriman
struggle.
President Gray's telegram to William Sproule, pres
ident of the Southern Pacific, pledged, "everything in
our power" to cooperate in the furnishing of cars to the
Southern Pacific at Ogden to take care of its enormous
traffic through Klamath Falls and Alturas on the pro
posed new east route short line.
