Churchill Chamber of Commerce
Receives Support In Endeavors
Movement For Better Rail Service Results In
Approval From Civic Bodies In
Nevada and California

r Regarding railroad connection
from Hazen, New, to Los Angeles
Calf, we are of course right behind
you and glad to note your effort.
We have been doing some work on
the connection from Susanyille TO
Klamath Falls which will tie US up
with northwest. However, the con-
nection from Tonopah Junction to
Owenyo is just as important.
"I believe that some time in the
near future we should all get to-
gether for a meeting at a central
place and invite railroad officials and
all interested committees to attend
the meeting. The Reno Chamber of
Commerce, which is the biggest or
ganization in this development,
should take the lead in arranging
and calling of such a meeting. We
can then each appear and submit our
data and perhaps have a frank state.
ment from Southern Pacific to its
plans"
We have the frank statement from
VIM. Sproule to Los Angeles Cham
her of Commerce, Frank Virgins,
secretary, quoting Mr.. Kimmel fur
tier: THE railroad commissioners
OF Oregon, California and Nevada
should also be asked to attend this
big meeting as well as the largest
shippers. It might be possible as a
publicity stunt to take the entire
ra,.fv oxyoY tho an fira ro,1fa from n.
Angeles to Klamath Falls in auto
mobiles, arranging entertainments
at different points along the way.
We can also prepare a series of arti-
cles for newspapers and get consider
able publicity for program in that
way"
