—the road that has been predicted
every year for time wiltcut memory.
With us the day is dawuieg, and un-
lees some unforeseen obstacle arise*
we will enjoy the rapture* of railroad
convenience before very long.
"We are confidently expecting nut
only the Harriman line to reach our
city, but also the Hill line, and when
t;. y come they will find us waiting
for them with a brass band. There
is little use in trying to build up a
g. eat country

i say this it i* not with a view to
disparaging Klamath county. We
admit that you have a section here
ti a» is wcaderful, but I am not going
to say ft is better than Bend.
"Everyone here seems to be inter
ested in the railroad fight that is in
progress north of us, and I am asked
on all sides if I tl.ink that Hill is
coming south. 1 firmly believe he is
coming to Bend, and 1 just a* firmly
believe that he is coming to Klamath
Falls. I have, of course, no definite
information to that effect, but take a
map, study it. and see for yourself.
Hill is a great lover of lumber traffic.
He is closely Identified with many
of the great timber syndicates, par
ticularly the Weyerhausers. There is
everything down hern to induce him
to come, and he generally goes where
there is traffic. That is why I say
that Klamath Falls will soon come
into its own. It will soon throw off
its swaddling clothes and awake some
fine morning to find itself blossoming
out into a full-fledged city.
"Railroads make a country; they
make a people; they open np the re
sources of the sections they pene
trate. Folowing such there can be
but one result—prosperity for every
one identified with the places affect

lines.
“There Is one thing that I would
like to call to the attention of your
county officials without appearing to
meddle in matters of a local nature—
the repairing of the roads between
Fort Klamath and Odell. This high
way can be placed in splendid condi
tion by expending a comparatively
small amount.”
These were passed around to the
busine«* men ot the city this af»er-
n«M>n. and they will be collected to
morrow. when they will be tabulated
and the information thereon con
tained will be published in the local
papers.
This method of gathering informa
tion as well as ascertaining the
amount each person is willing to con
tribute is unique and original. Like
everything that is new, it is due to
necessity. The experience of those
who have passed around a subscrip
tion list has been such as to deter
them from engaging in it again, as
well as preventing the uninitiated
from stepping to the front and taking
their place. Under the system that is
to be followed this year there will be
no arguing nor opportunity for enter
ing complaint. The slip will be hand
ed to the business man and he will
have a day to consider what action he
desires to take. He fills it out ac
cordingly and hands it to the person
••ollecting them.
The object is not to raise a mam
moth fund. The mark has been set
reasonably low, and if all of the busi
ness men will contribute none will be
burdened. It is the purpose of those
back of the move to turn these slips
over to the Chamber of Commerce
for it to take action in the matter.
