tax reduction. President Coolldge
announced ln reviewing budget econ
omies of the last year before the
bualnes organization of the govern
ment Monday night.
"While the returns btb not all In,"
he eaid, "It Is estimated that he
will end this fiscal year with a

Special Work Train Making Daily Trips
From Shasta With Gravel To Fill in
Sunken Land for Proposed Terminal
What is believed to be the first actual move of the South
ern Pacific railroad to establish railroad shops, a round house,
and possible divisional office point in Klamath Falls, became .
known yesterday through a reliable source. According to
this report a special work train arrived yesterday, and will
continue carry ins; a train of pit-run dirt and gravel from near
Mount Shasta and at Crass lake to fill in the flat running
from the Southern Pacific tracks south to the edge of Mills
addition, and from Sixth street, east to Orchard avenue, and
a small strip along- the tracks as far as East Main.
This Special train yesterday carried 20 cars loaded with
dirt and gravel, and is under orders to continue the work for
60 days, which is believed will be sufficient time to fill the
flat. Another train may be added the latter part of the week
to assist in the work.
Information as to wherfc the roundhouse would be lo
cated was also contained in the reliable report. The big locomotive-housing
station will be located at the end of the pres
ent Southern Pacific "Y" and will house eight stalls, each of
which will accommodate three big main-line engines and four
of the smaller type.
Blatant and consistent rumors that the Southern Pacific
shops were destined to be located at Fuego would be dispelled
should this reliable report be confirmed.
