Thi" Hiinoum*eiii<w»t wh * to conceal th«’ real in«*aning «4 th«« puivhrt-v. It i* tl»«* plan «»f the Southern Pacific to build tlie California-N«»rtheaatern to Kl»«inath Fall«, which was tin* r««ilte of the pr«»* |MN»r«l r<»ad. But the b<»uth«*rn Facifi«* will n«»t stop at that |x»int. If the route of th«« California* Northeastern from Wee«!, on the main line «4 the Southern Pacific, is produml it will lie found to run in a northeasterly direction ami meet th«« Oregon Short Line <»f the Southern Pacific al Huntington. This road will completely open up the heart of < hegoD. This move on th«* part of the Southern Pacific has completly outwitted the Hill outflit. The plan of Hill was to build a road called the San Francisco, Idaho and Montana, which it to start at Butte, Mont., and run in a southwest erly direction through Salmon City, Boise (Idaho) and on down to Kan Franciaco. Tbit line would oj»en up a new stretch of territory an«l would afford a d«*rided cut-off for travel from the northwest, now reaching San Francisco by way of Portland. The plana of the Southern Pacific will not lx* change«! *o far as the Natron branch ia concerned. It i* poeeible, though not probable, that a line may run from Klamath Falla to Huntington. Thia ia t»eing conaidered, but not aer- ioualy, for the reason that the Oregon Eastern to Ontario, which connects with the Natron Klamath Falls lineal or near the Fort, will answer the pur- |x»ee of the Huntington line. Appropes to the proposed Lakeview connection, it can l»e stated poeitively that it will l»e built.

Thi- company is the creature of neves- -ity. du«- to tl ♦ c«»ntinue«l congestion of freight at P >kegama. The Klamath Like railroad has >«een promptly deliv ering freight at F«»kvgaina. but the rer vice Iwtween that |s»int and this city has been insufficient to meet the glow ing traffic. While the new company has no c*>nne<*ti«»n whatever with the railroad cHinpanv and n<» discrimination will lie made in its favor, its entrance into the field has l»een enc«»uraged in or der to increase the tian-portation facili- ti?s. and relieve the warehouses at Po- kegarna of the immense quantities of freight that constantly accumulates there. Mr. McCormick will have his office in this city, and will make contract* for the tra isjK»rtat.on of freight in any quantity, whether for special or regular delivery at rates as low as the lowest.

Faught, assistant, and professor of the commer cial department and Miss Alice Apple gate. The commercial department seems to be popular, and is undoubtedly a wise departure.
