KLAMATH NEWS.
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.

BACK TO OREGON
(From the Oregon Journal)
This joining of the rails in the new Natron route be
tween Portland and Klamath Falls by way of Eugene
means something. 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.
