hour earlier for Huntington will arrive
there but halt nn hour curlier than now,
thus allowing half an more time to run
the 400 miles. Tho train arriving from
Spokane two hours and thirty-live min
utes earlier than now will leave Spo

earlier, thus shortening by twenty min
utes that run of 440 miles, and arriving

change in the time of tho west-bound
train from Huntington, nud the east
bound for Spoknne remains unchanged.
The changes aro made to accomodate

The telegraphic announcement of the
discharge at Vancouver, B. C, of A. Ii.
Ockeruian, late secretary of the Portland
lodge of Elks, wanted therein connection
with some shortage in his accounts with
the lodge, was received in that city by a
majority of the members of the lodge
with feelings hot unmingled with satis
fuction. Mr. Ocker man, the dispatch
said, secured his release on a habeas
corpus proceeding, and Constable Con
nor, the officious prosecutor in the
premises, will tfierefore be compelled to
return empty-handed.
Constable Conor did not cause the ar
rest of Ockerman entirely with the con
sent of Portland lodge of Elks, and now
that it developee that he has been
on u wila-goose ctiase tne question
arises as tq where the expenses incurred
on his trip will Come from.
While some were anxious to have
Ockerman brought hack to the end that
he might be made to suffer for the
wrong he has done to the lodge, many
were opposed to it on the ground that
little would be accomplished thereby.
It would not bring back the money he is
said to have embezzled, nor perhaps
would a term of imprisonment in the
event he is convicted udd greatly to hi
punishment.
The fact that by his wrongdoing he
has ostracised himself from the society J"f,eslie Butler was among the passen
