ITH constant improve ment in highways and motor vehciles, and the attendant strides made by the builders , ot -the motor stages, some persons venture the prediction That railroad passenger service, for the short rides at least, soon will be dis-. placed in favor of the automo bile. Recently there was In Salem a stage equipped as a "sleeper" and diner. It is argued by some that these will take the place of the . familiar pull mans. Desiring to find out what Salem thinks about this the New Oregon Statesman sought Interviews on the subject with -several persons Tuesday. This la what they had to say: FLORENCE ESTILL, wait ress, recently come here from Los Angeles, said: "For short journeys I prefer the motor stages. The scenery is more impressive and the trips leas monotonous. I do not think the stage ever will displace the train but It Is bound to cut in to railroad patronage on short hauls. I came here from Cali fornia by stage and liked it. Maybe-these sleeping-car stages will make it even more enjoy able." MRS. J. H. HATHAWAT. 1240 Market 'street, said: "I like to travel by train best, but traveling out of Salem by train is an almost impossible feat. Ton either have to get up early in the morning, or else ljave to wait so late in the evening that yon never get any place at the time yon want to. I think more people would travel by train if trains "were run more often and if they had as convenient sched ules as the stages have. Of course,. I suppose It takes more to operate a train, and that Is why that our train service Is so yery poor. The stage comes in very handy If a person is going somewhere in a hurry, but I do like the train best. I have a sense of safety and security that I never have on the motor stage." , MRS. T. C. GOSSER. 1B98 Mission street,, said: "I Tike the stage Jots better than I do the train. The stage is quicker, cheaper, and more convenient in many ways.
