Exclusive passenger train service to
and from Wallowa county daily, is a
very probable outcome of a corisulta
tion with business men of Wallowa
county towns, by Traveling Passenger
Agent Jack O'Neill, who has returned
from that county. The matter will be
recommended to the head officials by
Sir. O'Nell and it is likely that official
sanction will be granted shortly.

What Wallowa caunty wants Is this
The outgoing train will leave La

reach Joseph in tima'to return agulu
the same day,, reaching La Grande, at
about, 7 p. m. In this way the one
train will make .a complete circuit in
a day's time. It means that all the
passenger crews now laying over Just
half the time la Joseph, will be able
to live in La Grande with their fami
lies and be home every night. To the
railroaders employed on the branch
line, the service will be highly :( lis
The Wallowa county business men
are unanimous in this request and the
passenger agent is merely recom
mending to the traffic department
what Is wanted. There Is every rea
son to believe that such, a proposal
will be followed out for the passenger
business on the branch justifies an
exclusive passenger train.
