What t is to ennu some conv A little company- of bustlers took long trip to Bend to see the railroad opened some days ago. and a faithful trio of local expansionists journeyed all the way to Burns to s e what would be Joae at the meeting of the Central Oregon Development League. But what did Lakeview, with no railroad to her city yet. do for tbe Burns meet? She sent twenty people, and tured tbe convention next year. Organization did that—-or esprit de corps, as the French say. Lakeview is getting a railroad from below, and maybe she’ll get one from the upper part of the state soon, if someone is not careful. That someone is Klamath Faile, and the sooner the citizens get onto the fact and some decided action is taken, and a straight, clean cut cam­ paign is planned, the sooner this city will get that to which it is rightfully entitled. But it must ask for it, and make the request in such shape and with enough ammunitlon to shoot to show that it will meet the railroad half way. he was Then t< VI TKK LAM» a1 le in the draw- for 500,000 of the big W<»"*«-n Suffrage anil Frc* Text Book» i‘bud country ;n Up to n few years ago this was co ti­ ro active land South Pal’ lde red one of th-* most progressive n tow • nc&iuoet j tabs in the Union as far as leglsla- iptd City an 1 tii oil Is CO- • ■ ’ 1 Now. liowvver, ' large ? number thii!

There­ fore freight rates and passenger rates, so far as they involve use of this branch line, are made high, and very high, at that. If this branch were part of s con- tlnuous line the charges for service would be greatly reduced, for it’s simpler and more economical to run a large railroad, In its proportion, than it is to keep a small piece going. If the line were continued through to the north, to connect with the new line just opened to Bend, or with any other through line which would be reasonably straight, there would be an inlet and outlet both ways. More traffic would result to sup­ port what is already alive of tbe rail­ road system. People would some here to locate more readily.

If tbe Kla-math Indian reservation can be opened it will mean thousands of ambitious home hunters pouring Into this neighborhood. Klamath Falls will reap the benefit, doubly, There will be the good which will ac- crue from the people who assemble and wait for the opening and that which will come by the hundreds who get new homes on government land. It’s not going to hurt the Indians, for they are taken care of. It’s not going to hurt the government, for the government will in all probability turn the land over to the people soon­ er or later, anyway.
