Klamath Fa.k ' Hub of Prosperity '
President Sprcxlc cf S ?. Presents Pertinent Facts
President Willium Snroule of the Southern
Pacific yesterday testified in Portland in the
I. C. C. hearing before Finance Director Me
haffie. He presented a straightforward story
and spoke in terms easily understandable.
President Sprcule did not say anything more
specifically than statements previously made
by himself and others of equal importance and
authority, but the fact that it now becomes a
matter of official record adds authenticity
and perhaps will be accepted by a greater ma
jority of Klamath county citizens. In any
event, it will be accepted by the interstate
commerce commission, and will be a strong
racier in rendering a decision in Washington,
which will make Klamath Falls the "hub of
prosperity."
After noting that Southern Pacific de
velopment plans in south central Oregon were
tied up for years by the Central Pacific litiga
tion, Mr. Sprcule said
"It may be pointed out that the Oregon
Trunk interests were unhampered by govern
ment intervention and litigation such as we
experienced, and were free and able to under
take construction at any time since thev reach- ,.
ed Bend in 191 1. So why did they wait 14
years until the Southern Pacific had received
permission to complete its Natron line and had
made very heavy expenditures in conse
quence? Why did they wait until Mr. Stra
horn had perfected his plans, had built forty
miles of his railroad and made application for
extensions? Application by us for permission
to build a line to Bend to participate in the
lumber traffic there would be quite as much
in order, and as little serve public convenience
or necessity.
"Finally, as to the Oregon Trunk: Why
have they been silent and made no move dur
irg the long years of cur pioneering, in which
we have been in good faith, making such large
investments in the Klamath region, which has
become productive through the enterprise of
its citizens co-joining with ourselves? The
obvious reason is that they have been waiting
for us to put our money into this region for its
development, and, after we have done so
then come in at small expense to themselves !
to take from us the just rewards of our enter
prise. We have invested all the money and
taken all the chances. Had our enterprise
failed it would have been our misfortune to
have borne the loss. Yet now wc are threat
ened with the misfortune of being unable to
carry our plans to their natural rm,U;. .
cause the proposed extension frQm fi
would Avert to trunk lines to the north, which
have contributed nothing to the development
of this reg,on. that business which the South
em Pacfic, as the parent line, may fairly daim
to have earned by construction and service."
