Yesterday various ministers . re
quested the opinion ot Dr. Newsom
as to whether church service
should be held while the disease
lurks In the city. He explained to
each of them that there was no
manner by which the churches
might be legally closed, but added
that, perhaps, such gatherings
might not have the best effect.
Keeling that no emergency exists
in Klamath Falls, the city council,
at Its Monday night meeting, de
clined to declare an emergency and
close up various Institutions In the
city.
Dr. Newsom has held consistent
ly, and has been backed UP in his
contention by the state board of
health, that schools should remain
open, that pupils might be kept
under proper observation and that
precautionary measures might be
taken.
"What 1 more." Dr. Newsom
said yesterday, "my own boy

If the schools were kept open."

Briefs Voluminous.
The two railroad briefs and the
! public service commission summary
are voluminous and strike fire at
many place. A fourth brief was
filed by the Oregon, California &
Eastern ' organization (Strahorn
mlii;WJsiwimlj'-'5g tiit) claims pf--
inai organization tor: permission to
extend to Lakeview,, Sliver Lake
and op the Wllamson rver.
The northern lines proposed to
spend in excess of ;G. 000, 000 to
push their Oregon Trunk unit from
Bend to Klamath Falls. The South
ern Pacific resists, this movement
and advances a program of exten
sions estimated to cost $51,000,000.
The Southern Pacific wants to
absorb the O. C. &. E.. and the Nevada-,
California & Oregon and also
wants to extend a line southeast
from Klamath Falls to give a new
district outlet to the East through
Alturas, Calif.
"Is the public Interest served by
permitting a railorad-'to. pay what
ever price it chooses in order to
exclude a competitor?" question
the northern brief. -
"The Southern Pacific lias al
ready taken on heavy commitment
to keep the Union Pacific out ot
Southwestern Oregon and now pro
poses to spend $51,000,000 in ad
dition In order to keep its Southern
Oregon monopoly. Apparently it
Is ready to spend whatever may be
necessary for this purpose: and if
new lines are proposed whenever
competition is threatened, it may .
readily get to improvident extremes
in this direction."

To this tho Southern Pacific haa
its reply ready in outlining the mo
tives behind the Oregon Trunk ex
tension move, as follows:
"Having failed to obtain Joint use
of the Natron lines the Oregon
Trunk ...now proposes to bnlld Its

which it will compete intensively
