The trains for

Bend depart from Portland at 9 55
a. m and 10 a m via North Hank
and O -W it ft N
Hoth combined,
arrive al Redmond at 7 30 p m . j
and 4 IS at llend
The dlatanre
from Portland to llend la over !5 o
miles,
enough to make passengers
very wearw toward the close of the
Journey, especially mothers with
children
What farmer would start to drive
30 miles by road at to a m ? He
would be planning to be half way to
hla destination by that time
The
residents of Redmond and
Rend are much annoyed by the late
arrival of their letters
If these two railroads would re­
ally serve this territory
with
the
courtesy they usually claim to exer­
cise they will start much earlier out
o f Portland and bring
passengers
and much looked for mall by 4 p
in to their destination
