THE BLIND EDITOR Coming from Portland to day and speaking to Klamath tonight is an outstanding fig ure in Western journalism, and one of its most convinc ing writers. Mr. V. B. Irvine of the Oregon Journal is a keen analyst, a valiant cru sader and a staunch friend, with enough sentiment in his makeup to play on the heart strings and bring out all their tune. We want him to feel, even : if he cannot see, the warmth1 of Klamath's welcome, and to j vision for himself the Klam-i ath of his dreams. No paper j has been more loyal to this city, and nowhere is his opin ion more respected. The courage of his work, facing many obstacles, is a romance in itself. The adventure of it all keeps his soul aflame. INSPECTION TRIP More visitors will be here today, largely from Portland. Now that we are back in the Oregon fold, it is only nat ural they should want to look us over. The new facility for getting to and fro will help things, but that is only part of the program. The editorial in another column on "Winning Klamath Through Merit" is a reminder to Portland business men of certain local conditions. It is important to remember that human nature does not change over-night, and that the trade field here is well worth culti vating. Klamath is destined to be the second city in Ore gon and those who tie to it now will be growing with it later. Here is a toast to our Port land friends; May they like us well enough to come again. 000 FAVORABLY IMPRESSED our kind of frontier is where men "drink their liquor raw, talk right from the shoulder, and shoot straight, playing the game in a big way." and square." And when he says he likes us we feel he really means it. His influence is such he will be helpful in saying a good word for Klamath every chance he gets, and if our readers will encourage their Eastern friends to do the fame, the resulting benefit will be big enough to be well worth while. ooo Winning Through Merit l From the Oregon Voter! Now th.it there is direct connec tion Itetwcen Klamnth Falls and Portland, It behooves Portland mer chant to cultivate the good will of the people ot the Klamath country. Politically, the Klamath people have been part of Oregon: commercially, of California. California provided their capital tor development, their duly connection by rail, and the consuming market for what they produced in lumber, box shook and livestock. Portland was practically out of the picture, except as by ab sorbing diffcrentiuls our merchants were able to compete with Sacra mento and San Francisco jobbers. It wilt not be easy for Port laud to jar the Klamath people loose from their habits ot buying from their financial hackers and their enstom ers. . It is idle to expect the Klamath people to transfer their buying to Portland simply because of state loyalty. It is difficult to figure where Oregon has done such a lot for the Klamath basin, except in stjite aid in construction of high ways. The state highway commis sion has connected Klamath with1 the outside wori,? via Ashland, Cra ter lake and Bend. a Meauwhile Klamath taxpayers backed their own road program with heroic con-1 tributions. It is doubtful whether! they feel Portland has done more for Klamath than Klamath has al-i ready done for Portland by its own expenditures for transportation fa cilities. What will bring Klamath busi ness to Portland will be quality. ' price and service. In many lines Portland quality' cannot be excelled, for our old-time, jobbers and our. enterprising manufacturers have a pride In quality that is not found among people of less conservative communities. .Many Portland business men will take advantage of the opportunity to visit Klamath Falls at the cele bration for the new line. Old ac quaintance will be renewed and new acquaintance made. Unques-'. tionably the excursion will develop good will. But If Portland preaches the no tion that Klamath owes it to Ore gon to patronize Portland, we fear that the Klamath people will find it difficult to conceal their smile, it is up to Portland to get the busi ness by going after it on a business basis and keeping it on merit.

It means that the community which for trade purposes has been "Klamath Falls, California," will be Klamath Falls, Oregon, again. It means that "trains will operate in shorter time and at less cost between Portland and Klamath' Falls than between San Francisco and Klamath Falls. Passengers will be carried more quickly. Freight will be hauled in about half the present time and the rates, which have favored San Francisco, will favor 'Portland. Mail which carried business orders will be transmitted more quickly between Portland and Klamath Falls. Newspapers will be delivered more promptly from Portland. Telegraph messages between Portland and Klamath Falls, which have been routed by way of San Francisco, will be sent direct and not have to wait upon the telegraphic traffic of the bay region for right of way. The linking of the rails of the Natron cut-off is also a new steel link between Eastern and Western Oregon. It joins the interior to the sea by a new route. It opens every possibility in the relationship between the coast region, the Willamette valley and the plateau country beyond the range. It is. or should be, a first step, for the railroads have it in their power to reorganize the whole Oregon railroad situation.
