THE RUSH IS OVER CHIN. IS NOW EXPERI ENCING BREATHING BI'Kl.L. IWf of Dispatchers Has Been Cut Down From Six to Three Men Train and Engine Crews Hare Suf ficient Rest and Empty Cars Are Now Plentiful Temporary Rnsh Is , Expected When St. liouls Exhibits , Stan From the East. The nerve-racking, sleep-destroying high-tenaion rush of business which has been experienced by the O. R. & N. system for the past three months has subsided and only the normal business of the system Is now passing over the lines. At no place on the system is the cessation of the rush more heartily welcomed than In the offices of the dispatcher at La Grande, where for three months the wires were hot. slzxling, sputtering, every minute In the day, and where for hours ut a time, the cherished corn cob pipe lay on the desk, unllghted, because of the more stern business duties pressing upon the weary dispatcher. The force In the dispatcher's office has been reduced from six to three dispatchers, beside A. Buckley, chief. Instead of each trick dispatcher work ing half a division from La Grande each way, the wires have been cut In, and one man now handles the busi ness from Umatilla to Huntington, as of yore, and there are breathing spells between train orders and hurry-up alls for cars. Train crews now get plenty of rest between trains, engine men have time in which to souk the grime from their faces and necks, and the operat ors at the way stations can "snooze," peacefully on the benches, as of old. Only the regular trains are now running, and business not heavy at any point on the road. A temporary ' j-usn is expected when the Bt. LOUIS exhibits begin to arrive from the East, but at present there Is nothing even the call boys at the division points. Empty cars are now plentiful everywhere, and the mountain crews are wnltlng for a freeze in Baker valley, to start the Ice harvest at North Powder. The overworked en jclnes will be taken Into the shops for repairs, where scales that have been accumulating for three months will be removed, and engine crews will be .treated likewise.
