Officials Of both the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific

trail Oregon lnes the Southern Pacific from Klamath
Falls to Westwood junction. California thus affordlng
shortcut to Ogden and the Union Pacific implies the
petion Of its line from Ontario to connection with the
Natron cutoff thus providing shortcut from valley

cutoff to Bend would follow completion of that ne who
ever owned it,
1t is true of that completion of the Natron cut

follows the lines of financial support On the other hand
