18 THE MORNING OltEGONTAN, TIITXRSD AT, , FEBRUARY-. 5, 1914. S00 TRAIN GUT OFF General Changes in O.-W. R & N. Service Made. ST. PAUL SERVICE ENDS Impress Via Spokane and Canadian .Pacific Is Abandoned and Nu merous Alterations in Sched ules 'Are Result. Many important changes in O.-W. H. & N. train schedules will become effec. tive next Sunday, lue to the abandon ment of through service between Port land and St. Paul over the Soo line as forecast in The Oregonlan a week ago. Through service to St. Paul will be discontinued today but service between Portland and Spokane will continue on the schedule of the Soo-Spokane-Port-land train until Sunday, leaving here at 9 P. M. and arriving- at 11:56 A. M. Beginning Sunday The Dalles pas senger, leaving here at 4 P. M. and arriving at 10 P. M., will be discon tinued. A new Portland-Spokane train will run in its place, taking care oX the business, also, now handled by the Soo train. This new train will leave nt 4 P. M., arriving in Spokane at 7:30 A. M. Westbound, it will leave Spo kane at 8 P. M. and arrive here at 11 A. H. Pendleton Trains. Off. Trains No. 5 and No. 6, operating now between Pendleton and Spokane, likewise will be discontinued, as the new train will take care of the traffic that they now handle. The walla Walla sleeper, now leav ing here on the Soo train at 9 P. M., hereafter will be taken out on No. 6 at 12:30 A. M., arriving at Walla Walla at 8:45. Westbound, the Walla Walla uleeper will be carried on No. 9, ar riving in Portland at 7 A. M. New train service also will be put on out of Pendleton to accommodate Spokane business. It will run via Walla Walla and Wallula and connect at the latter place with the Spokane train. Another new train will operate be tween Colfax. Wash., and Spokane, leavlns Colfax at 8:15 A. M. and ar riving at Spokane at 11:45; leaving Spokane at 4:20 'P. M. and arriving at Colfax at 7:40 P. M. Other minor changes fill be put into effect on various branch lines in Kastern Oregon and Eastern Washing, ton. Gateway Openlnc I'nllkely. As a result of the discontinuation of the Soo train tho O.-W. R. & N. Co. will have no direct outlet to St. Paul. The rates apply, however, via the O.-W. It. & N. lines to Spokane, connecting there with the "northern" lines. The O.-W. R. & N. Co. and Union Pacific system in general never have made active efforts to handle through business to St. 1-aul via Omaha. The rate between Portland and St. Paul via tho Omaha gateway Is 1.95' higher than over the direct line. It is improbable that the Omaha gateway will be opened as it would force the "northern" lines to open the St, Paul gateway to Omaha business something that the Union Pacific would resent. The Soo line merely is the name under which the Canadian Pacific prop erties in the United States are incor porated. The Canadian Pacific an nounces that it will continue to handle through business out of Portland over Its own lines, through Seattle and Van couver, B. C. FIREMEN TO DEMAND PAY City May Have Bills to Consider Following Eight-Hour Case. If the State Supreme Court decides in the eight-hour case now pending that the City of Portland, through Mayor Albee, does not have the right to re quire firemen or policemen to work more than eight hours a day, the city probably will have several hundred thousand dollars in bills for overtime to consider. It has been learned by the members of the Commission that many of the firemen are preparing to present the cltyvlth bills for overtime since the eight-hour law became effective, t will be contended that if the law allows firemen to work only eight hours a day, and they have been working 21 hours a day for many months, they are entitled to 13 hours' overtime for each day. At their regular salary rates of from 180 to 150 a month, it is figured that each man who has been in the service Fince the eight-hour law became ef fective is entitled to several thousand dollars' overtime.
