O&SGOA TO Tr- AST If the plans of the Southern Pacific railway are carried out, sorie day transcontinental trains will be pull inn through Klamath FallH enroute for New York city and the Atlantic seaboard, while others will be pass ing through this city enroute to San Francisco. Instead of a city situated at the end of a branch line, it will be a city divisional point for a great transcontinental system of railways, with all the advantages that a main line railway can give to a city. - Portland will be but an eleven hour ride. Passengers for New York and the east will just step n the through trains here. This, while a great essential to the progress of a city, will be small compared to the great commercial advantages of trade which the proposed rail route will mean to Klamath Falls and the great basin surrounding it.
