Klamath's Railroads
Economists Peer Behind Smoke Screen
Residents of Klamath county, many of
whom became blindly partisan in the dust and
hullabaloo unfortunately brought about dur
ing consideration of the railroad question here,
may well be amazed at the opinions, quietly
but conclusively reached by economists on
the subject.
'v In its Sunday issue this newspaper repro
duced in full for its readers the profound treat
ies .of C C. Chapman in his "Oregon Voter"
qon the Oregon railroad situation. Chapman
has gained an enviable reputation as a leading
economist in the west, and as one who is above
stooping to bias and prejudice. Many times
he has removed the dust from the eyes of the
'public on important questions. And that
Klamath county citizens are anxious to arrive
at unperverted truths is evidenced by a big de
mand for additional copies of the issue con
taining Chapman's article.
Sfr 3 3fc 9fr
Chapman points out the all-important fact
that the same capital is heavily interested in
the two railroads over which Klamath folk
became so impotently excited. This fact
serves to substantiate the statement so often
heard to the effect that the directors of the
interested Northern lines are not wholly in
accord with the plan to extend the Oregon
Trunk from Bend to Klamath Falls.
Can you imagine the position of the father
of two sons, one of whom demands that the
father furnish him with an automobile for the
purpose of wooing the girl to whom his
brother is already engaged the fair one in
this instance being Miss Klamath? Dad hap
pens to be Arthur Curtiss James, largest indi
vidual shareholder of Southern Pacific, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific securities, as
shown by Chapman.
If the facts set forth by Chapman are not
sufficient one need only to turn to the current
number of "The Timberman." Under title,
"Let Economic Principles Govern Railroad
' Development," the subject is treated in a man
ner that leaves little doubt as to what the
writer believes the railroad commission will
decide.
An Afterthought Maybe!
A letter was received by Director of Fi
nance Charles D. Mahaffie, chairman at the
Portland railroad hearing, from J. P. Hen
nessey of Shevlin-Hixon company, at Bend,
in which he said:
"Please get into record this amplification
and clarification of my statements:
"I am now advised that our Klamath In
dian timber contract has been sold, but we re
tain all our fee timber, south of Walker rim.
"We have no present plans for entering
the Klamath, field. Lack of competing lines
would not be a determining factor in the ques
tion of our operating there in the future. But
with more than one line available it would not
influence our selection for a plant location."

It seems that a certain actor in
a certain melodrama had the
small part of allowing himself to
be shot during the latter part of
the first act. All he had to do
was to get shot at, shout "My
God, I'm shot!" and tall Into the
footlights dead.
One night before the perform
ance the electrician, who would
rather see a comedy than a trag
edy, filled the blank shell In the
gun with rock salt. The person
In question was duly shot at.
He shouted bis "My God, I'm
shot!" and rolled dead by the
footlights. Soon be began to feel
the stinging effect of the salt,
and became highly nervous.
Just before the curtain came
aown the audience was terribly
surprised to see the apparently
dead man rise to his feet. As he
arose, he announced In a loud
voice, "By God. I AM shot."
There bad been an epidemic of
colds In the town, and one physi
cian who had had scarcely any
sleep for two days called upon a
patient an Irishman who was
suffering from pneumonia, and as
he leaned over to hear the pa
tient's respiration he called upon
Pat to count.
The doctor was so fatigued Hint
he fell asleep, with his ear on the
sick man's chest. It seemed hut
a moment when he suddenly

"Tin thousand an slvlnty-slx, tin

unveiled of a fallen soldier with
clenched flat and Ibe Inscription:
"From our bones will arts an

would have been the biggest step
toward world peace If we had car
ried out the letter of our war
