S. P. Beholds Silver Lining
As Wartime Clouds Pass
In explanation of Southern
Pacific's 1945 annual report, A.
T. Mercicr, president of the rail
road, has announced that SP has
come out of the war with pros
peels for traffic volume gen
erally above prewar level due
to an expected Increase in bus
iness activity and travel through
out the country.
Despite shortages of materials,
SP is going ahead with its post
war improvement- program, in
cluding new freight cars costing
more than $14,000,000, refriger
ator cars, and improved pas
senger service.
By the end of 1946 the two
new "Shasta Daylights" will be
in operation, and Cascade sleep
ing car trains on the Shasta route
will be streamlined with modern
lightweight cars replacing the
standard Pullmans now in serv
ice on these trains.
SP's major wartime problem,
manpower shortage, continues
with respect to skilled mechanics
and track labor, according to
Mercicr, but the immediate prob
lem since the war's end, that of
moving thousands of veterans
overland to their homes from
overseas service, reached its
peak in the closing months of
Pair Arrested
In Auto Mixup
; An odd traffic case with two
drivers for one car last night
brought about the arrest of a
California couple visiting in
Klamath Falls, charging one
with reckless driving and the
other with driving under the in
fluence of intoxicating liquor.
When patrolmen first saw the
couple shortly after 10:30 last
night, Mildred Street was at the
wheel of the couple's Dodge
army pickup, and her husband,
Robert R. Street, was in the car,
apparently very drunk.
Police told her to take her !
husband home but when she ;
pulled away from the curb at .
7th, near Main, she cut across
the street into a pile of lumber,
swung back and sped off in a
reckless manner, the officers j
said.
One patrolman took out after
the pickup on foot and another
commandeered a passing car to
give chase. When the Streets
stopped at a stop light, they
switched places in the car and
when they were caught at 6th
and Martin, Robert Street was
driving.
He was charged with driving
while under the influence of in
toxicating liquor and posted
$100 bail, while she was charged
with reckless driving and hav
ing no operator's license, post
ing $30 bail.
1945, and has gradually lessened
with the result that it should be
handled without difficulty from
now on,

ward W. Mason, who is retiring

Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hughes
were called to El Paso, Tex., last
week by the death of Mrs.
Hughes' father. She is remain
ing for a while In El Paso, but
Hughes, Southern Pacific train
master, returned late last week.
Resourceful Southern Pacific
chefs have devised a number of
new ways to conserve flour and
fats in cooperation with the gov
ernment's campaign of conserva
tion of these necessary items.
By creating a new "victory
pie" with a French topping in
stead of the usual top crust, the
chefs arc saving more than 3000
pounds of shortening and 5200
pounds of flour nuinlhly, accord
ing to Harry A. Butler, manager
of the railroad's dining car de
partment. A new recipe for
French dressing saves more than
66 per cent on salad oil amount
ing to a saving of 90,000 quarts
annually.
Southern Pacific is the largest
purchaser of foodstuffs west of
Chicago with the exception of
the federal government, and
served almost 27,000,000 meals
last year.
Fixed charges of the Great
Northern railway, now the low
est in 45 years, were reduced by
$2.20(1.000 annually through re
funding operations and other
redemptions in the past year,
according to F. J. Gavin, presi
dent. Gavin reported that the
company's bonded Indebtedness
was reduced over $20,000,000 in
th umt period. The Great
Northern president also said
that "a substantial incrensa In
freight rates Is imperative If the
railway is to successfully weath
er the slorm of mounting labor
and materials costs and serious
ly declining revenues."
W. J, Warren, Great Northern
traveling auditor, returned to
Spokane yesterday after month
in Klamath Falls on business.
