It is s.i.u .he Wallowa county train will not eave La Grande until after tin n ival of No. 1, the iast , -rain from the East that wh- ' rives at La Grande at 9:110 a This would bo a groat eu.ivo.iio..i-o both in the mail and passo.iRe. s.i lee. All easte.n tna.l .v j iiojfs earlier, and paiie ;,i this county from the East coam sa j .he 24 hours wait at La Grande. Waiting for the Eastern mall wo :.it delay the departure of the branch train until probably 10 o'clock, but that would not lucessarlly make he train two ho irs later at Wal owa county stations as considerable can be cut off the present running -inie of seven hours from La Grande 0 Joseph. TliU is proven by the 'act that the train is now reaching Enterprise almost every afternoon at i o'clock, or 30 minutes aheid of Ime. And the trainmen say th li jound train Is nearly always delayed it Mtnam waiting for the oitbound. A'hen the roadboi becomes settled ind the ballasting finished a five liour schedulo would not be fast time, A'lth the train handling no local freight between La Grande and I'a! ner Junction as at present. In addition, the rumor is that No. 1 may get Into La Graudo a:i hour ir two earlier. The running tltno of hat train between Omaha and II ml ingdon was recently cut to meet coiu petition of the Burlington-Northern ,'aclflc between Chicago and Port. and, and another cut for the si ,'! reason Is antlclpat3d. Nothing is said regarding the ichodule of the outbound train.
