That the locomotive service on the same road is so badly crippled that, instead of one, four locom-o-4 tives, changed at various points. were- required to get a train through from Portland to Pasco, is a furthier authoritative statement. On tihe same road a locomotive came into Portland wi th valves so defect! very packed that the escap ing steam was so thick in the cab of the locomotive that it was diffi cult for the engineer and . fireman to see each other. ' That on the same rtjad the locomotive on a train dropped both side v rods between Portland and Pasco, is a further statement. , - That the North Bank company is farming out its boiler repairs to a local boiler works and most of its " i-m"- , , , "7 car is rlsserted, all in vio Iatlon of the of tha way "uaiu- In the face of these things, the company claims to have more than 90 Per cent of a normal force of shopmen, which4, of course, is not true.
