TRAIN AND STAGE
SCHEDULES CHANGEC
Another change of the La Grande
Elgin train schedule Monday caused
another change in the time of the
out-bound stage, which now leaves
Enterprise at 4:30 a. m.
There is but one passenger train
a day now on the Elgin branch. It
leaves La Grande as before at 8 a.
m. This allows the stage to laave
Elgin at 10:30, making no change
in the inbound schedule. The Oil
bound stage has to reach Elgin by
the middle of the afternoon, as the
passenger train is due In La Grande
at 5:30 p. m.
The announced reason for the
change Is the refusal of the Paci 1c
Express company to supply twe
messengers. Express from Wal'.owa
county did not reach Elgin In time
to connect with the first train to La
Grande, and the last traTn In dL
not carry messengers. Hence, ex
press was held over until the nsxt
day. Tho new arrangement of at
fairs will, let Wallowa express con
nect with the afternoon train.
