No evld nee. of a combine has ex

exist, It was broken by the. Influx of
a large number of new buyers from
Idaho and Montana. The new buy-

given an opportunity to appear be
fore the-commission to discuss the
situation.
The Salem Statesman says of the
matter as presented to the railroad
commission In Salem: '
Tile state railway commission will
Investigate the condition of the local
train service on the p. R. k N. from
Biggs eastward.
The commissioners are of the opin
ion that the train service of the
IVfgs .local Is entirely Inadequate and
since thev have Informally Investigat
cd the conditions of the line they be
llftve that the local travel eastward
from Biggs is of sufficient magnitude
to demand locnl trains from Biggs to
Pendleton at least and perhaps to
Huntington.
Ey 'the Inadequate system provld
by the O. R. & N. on that branch of
the railroad the heavy transconti
nental trains have been heavily bur
dened. At present the travel from Biggs to
Heppuer Is handled by a mixed train
and many delays are caused and slow
time is the result.
The commercial club of Heppner
Is to ask for the extension of the run
of the Biggs local to Heppner. There
have been a number of complaints
filed with the commission regarding
the Inadequacy of the train service

The applications Include 15 dains,
