(Every Morning Except Monday) KLAMATH FALLS, ORE., SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1926 Price Five Centa Klamath Railroad Yards Are Jammed By FEN WAITE With only five truck railroad yarl facilities in the Klam ath Fall yards, Including main line track. Klamuth Fall has gained the enviublo record of the greatest mil shipping point In Oregon, outside of Portland, the metropoJia, a city of 400, 000 people. Taklnjf Into account the prcaJht rentricted area of the Klamath Falls yards, local rail men are confident that to this city should go the honor of being the busiest railroad yarda in Oregon, if not the entire Pacific coast. In Auguat, ISIS, the Klamath yarda handled their record volume of rara, total of 18,110 In (ha one month. By handling cars la meant tha receipt and dispatching of car, coming In loaded and 'going out empty, or vice vena, coming In empty and being dispatched loaded. According to Louis Bradford, ( Klamath yardmaatrr. who ratea the title of one of the busiest man In Oregon, the local yard band lea Ita peak load In tha monlhe of June, July and August. From the In creaae In volume of bualneae each month In lt! aa compared to 1915. the peak monthe th la year will aee iO.OOO cara handled, la the confi dent opinion of the yardmasler. Thin opinion la grounded on the followlug fact: In March, 1S25. the Klamath yarda handled 6.021 cara, In March. 1921. 11,883. or more than double the volume. In April, 115, the record waa 1.810, for the month which closed yeeter day the flgurea were not yet com piled, but Bradford predlcta thoy will reach 16,000. The Klamath yardmaater and hia corps' of aaalatanta have one of the moat perplexing problems that could be Imagined to keep the great flood of cara rolling smoothly In and out, . to avoid congeatlon, and to maln . tain splendid service.

"We must arrange the achedule of In coming tralna. regulars and extras, t such intervale that we can make up and dispatch tralna out before a new arrival la on top of us, other wise we would be anowed under. "We are In desperate need of more switches, a greatly Increased yard capacity," the yardmaater pointed out. "It la my persona be lief, not official, of course, that work would atart Immediately on putting down new tracks If the Sixth street viaduct matter waa set tlod. ao the company would know what to figure on. We are- ualng five complete train crews out of Klamath Kalis north, and five south In the endless battle against con gestion." According to the records of the uptown office of the Southern Pa cific company, there were 16.800 loaded cara handled In the Klamath yarda In 1925. The total of incoming loaded cara waa 11,024, and the total alilpped out loaded waa H. 174. These flgurea do not take Into account the movement of emptlea, but from the standpoint of congea tlon, they are practically of the same Importance as loaded cara.

Episcopal Parish Church of Interest An Interesting history la connect ed with the building of the new Episcopal church at Eighth and Jef ferson. Thirty years ago It waa, when W. 1. Bryan waa making bis first campaign for the preside ucy, that Bishop Morrla of the Episcopal church cam to Klamath Fa I la by stage coach and began holding mor ning aervlcea and visiting among the then residents of the section, 'his missionary work brought togethor a faithful group of Episcopal church workers, whose work has not ceaaed since 18(, although no ministerial work waa made available for about twenty-five yeara. Following Bishop Morrla came Bishop Paddock about eighteen I Tf 17 A If You Are Planning To Build J ' M ' ". ' Talk it over with us.

About three yeara ago Bishop nemlngton, formerly of South Dakota, waa aaaigncd to this' territory. Hia aggreaslveneas, forward-looking policies have done much to build up the church In this vicinity. Two yeara ago the church build ing then need by the congregation here waa aold to the ecbool board, which needed the alte in connection with the building of Fremont high school. The consideration of 816.- 000 made a tidy neat egg with which to enter upon the building of an other church. The alte of the present church at Eighth and Jefferson waa purchased last summer and' the building com menced about the first of November. In the meantime, about the middle of October, the Reverend Mr. J. H. Thomas had come from Winnipeg MARK THIS!

Modelled aa nearly aa" possible after an old English parish church, the new church la a model of well moulded church architecture. Neat ness, compactness, together with a surprisingly generous amount of useful room, are some of Its char acteristics. . The altar, christening fount, and seating arrangements are worthy of the special attention of the visitor, who la welcome at all timea, the doors being never closed. A large Sunday achool room, open ing off the main church room is fit ted with generous sized fireplace, and can be used for social parposea to good effect. A full basement has been provided.

Lawrence and Holford of Port land were the designing architects for the building; W. H. Stevena and son were the contractors, and the work waa supervised by Howard Perrin. . The total Investment amounts to about $22,000. the con gregation being wholly free of lia bility excepting for a boot $700, a remarkable achievement for the faithful group who have held to their Ideal through many years.
