The utter absurdity- of , trying to
mak the cramped depot facilities In
this clty'sufflcle for the growing pas
senger business on the main line,' and
the enormous traffic on the Wallowa
branch, Is becoming more and more
apparent dally; j Last evening and It
occurs dally the Wallowa "train ar
rived with' two coaches heavily loaded
with passengers and they were buffet
ed about by baggage and express
trucks that were urgently needed at
the baggage car. It is a frequent oc
currence to bring In R carload of. fcUg.
gage that Will total close to i00 pieces.
rhe passTrtjrert! Continue to be subject
to serloiW Injury at any time. This
condition has existed for a long time,
but Is growing worse dally. Every day
that goes by means that by some
miraculous Intervention, none are hurt
In the Jumble of trucks and people.
How It Is that passenger are not
ground to pieces at frequent Intervals
U a deep mystery, for It Is a. common
occurrence to see a truck crowd a
group of passengers against a swiftly
passing train so closely that another
Inch would mean Instant death. ''''
The public needs to be warned of
this ' condition for' during a careless
moment an unsuspecting pedestrian lfe
llabla to, bo- drawn,'under a train and
ground to pieces.
I.oiiit Distance Itccoril.
, ' Yesterday Chan; W. Baker, manager
of the Lyric ) theater, established (i
record for long distance talking which
should entitle him to the megaphone
championship. He held a position on
the roof of the Fair store and an
nounced the many bargains offered
there , through a megaphone.. His
voice was so' strong 'and his words bo
well articulated that ladles living on
the hill morii than a mile distant were
able to hear' him with the- greutest
ease and distinguish the various bar
gains which -he offered.
