FOR NEW BANK
Klamath Falls will have a. new
bank within the next 30 or 40 days,
It beenme known today,. If the appli
cation of the Incorporators of j the
American National Dank Is favorably,
paised on by tho United fltates treas
ury department.
The Incorporators of the proposod
JlnanclnLlnsHlullon are K. M. Ilubb
of Merrill, Marlon llaoks, llert With-
row, C. J. Forguaon of this city, and
William Dalton of Tulo Lake. The
cnpltallintlon will bo 1100,000 nnd
the stockholdors will be local per
sons without exception.
"Our plans hnvo not progressed to
Ihn point where we am roady to dl
vulgo the name of the stockhold
ers," said Mr, Ilubb, when Interview
ed reRnrdlng Ihn bank, "The list Is
still Incomplete.
"In regard to the location of the
bntik, wo are also unable to make
any definite statement. Wo hnvo

until tho department passes upon
our chnrter application we arc not
In a position to make a great deal of

The hoot rnovtsc sad wire cut
tin ordinance paaaad by the city
council Monday night la accessary
legislation, doslgned to meet present
conditions that call faf ah ordinance
nf thn sort, and will aare tho general
public a burden of cost' that they
would ultimately have to bear, ac
cording to E. T. I.udden, manager of
tho 1'aclflc Tolepbono ft Telegraph
rompany.
Tho ordinance follows the lines ot
similar regulations In most of tho
large cltloa of the state, ho says, and
such regulations have been found
beneficial.
Placing the cost on the movnlg
contractor or the owner of the
building to be moved on whom It
will ultimately fall relievos the
general public, ho says, for tho cost
of wlrn rutting Is an operative ox
penso, and must sooner or later fig
ure as tho basis' for a plea to tho
public service commission for raised
rates for phono, power or wlro ser
vice As to tbn company's francblae re
quiring that the tclephono company
perform trils sorvlco as n considera

CATHOLICS
FUNDS FOR NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING
For tho purposn ot meeting thu
coat of building tho Bacred Heart
academy, which Is destined to becomo
ono of tho greatest educational insti
tutions In tho stale, tho Catholics of
the Bacrcd Heart parish bavo docldod
to put on a drlvo for fund. It I to
Includo'not only Klamath Full and
Klamath county, but will extend Into
adjoining Oregon and California
counties', because It Is felt that tho
benefits nrlnlng from such an Insti
tution reach farther than tho con
fine of this city. For the purpose of
handllng-tho work Incident to such
an undertaking, tho services of tho
Ward company have been secured.
This compsny makes n specialty of
handling campaigns of this character,
and has dono similar work through
out the United Btates. Tho campaign
managers have opened offices In tho
Central hotel.
The building up ot an Institution
such as contemplated, and on which
work has already commenced, will bo
of Inesllmnbln vnliio to iho city.
From, tho standpoint of Its value a
an educational and moral force, as
woll as the development of tho 'phys
ical man, (for tho prenent Intention
I lo Include n complcto gymnasium
lu the achool)snothlng can lurpas It.
Already, from an humble beginning,
Its bcnlcn Influence hn ben foil
th,rougl9Ut tho community) and this
will bo true with over Increasing
force as tho aendemy grows. From a
financial 'point of view. It will lie an
Important factor In thu business de
velopment of tho city. During the
past yonr nearly 40 boarders were in
attendance at tho school. This num
ber could have boon increased to
over 100 if the accommodations had
boon, sufficient. It. was this uvor
Increasing demand from pcoplo
throughout eaatorn Oregon and
northern California tor the' admission
of their children to this Institution
that determined tho trnstoes to build.
Plans call for a building that will ac
commodate 100 boardora. On this
hnsla alone It will mean tho bringing
to thin city of ovor $50,000 annually,
lu addition to the boardors will bo
many who conic hero to live In order
to tako advantago of( tho benefits
offorod by an education under the
direction of tho sisters.
Hut, tho' plans for this year are only
a beginning. In their fruition they
will bring to Klamath Fulls an insti
tution that will have normal school
standing and ono that will have ac
commodations for 500 students.
Tho slbtors In charge, tho Sisters ot
Charily ot Knznroth, are known as
tho ablest slbtcrhood of tcachor In
tho United States and tho record al
ready mado by them hero Justifies
tho claim. At Nazareth, Kentucky,
they have established nil institution,
nftor which tho local ono Is to bo pat
terned. Tho Kentucky Institution is
claimed as tholr alma mater by tho
elite of tho south, and If tho ambi
tions ot Father Marshall nro to be
crowned with success, tho Institution
In Klamath Falls will bear tho samo
relation to tho stato ot Oregon, and
he has so far demonstrated that no
such word as "failure" has been
stampod on any ot his undertakings.
Offices for tho drlvu have been
opunod on tho Central hotel building.
