NEW TIME CARD
1
ROAD
INBOUND TRAIN NEARLY THREE
.HOURS LATER iRUNNING
TIME SHORTENED.
t
Beginning last Sunday morning a
new time card went into effect on
the branch,by which the time of
the lucoming train at Enterprise is
6 p. m. Instead of 3:45 as heretofore.
Why the change was made, the lord
and the schedule makers only know.
It inconveniences everyone who
patronizes the train, and certainly
was not made necessary by' any main
line change3. Under the new sched
ule you are bound to lay over in La
Grande from 6 to 20 hours no matter
in what direction bound, east or west
on the main line, In or out from
this county.
Everybody is kicking over the
idiotic change, but they should re
member the high-salaried schedule
makers have to do something to earn
salaries. The only persons benefitt
ed are the hotel and restaurant men
of La Grande.
The new time table has the In
bound train leaving La Grande at
12:45 p. m. or threa hours later than
heretofore. It leaves Wallowa at
4:45 and Enterprise at 6:00 p. m. or
two hours and a quarter later than
before. The running time from La
Grande to Enterptlse is shortened
three-quarters of an hour. The train
is not scheduled to reach Joseph
uii'til 7 p. m.
The outbound train leaves Joseph
at 7:15 a. m., Enterprise 7:30 (no
change) and arrives at La Grande at
1:30 p. m. or 30 minute3 earlier than
.before.
The trains for Portland leave La
Grande at 8:00 p. m. (64 hours
wait for passengers from Wallowa
n

will give a liberal discount on all

Best Play Of The
Summer Season
Zaza Well Re:eived By Large Audi-
. . . i
on:e nunaway iviaicn
Saturday Night.
The rain and worse threatening
storm kept the audience at the opera
house Friday nlih: to small propor
Hons, but those who ventured on'
were well repaid by hearing a very
funny farce, Are You An Odd Fellow?
.'it was a laugh from start to finish.
The best play tnd the best played
of any production of the summer
season of the Ethel Tucker Stock
company was presented to a large
audience Saturday night. Zaza is the
leat objectionable of the so-called
'rob!em plays, and adde- from the
French view of that which for want
of a truer name. Is called love, the
piny Is clean and carries a mora!
protuberant enough for an English
audience. MImm Tucker was clever,
at times fascinating and at all times
Interesting in the title role. Her
support was go:d, Mls Mandeville
was sprightly and natural as Alice,
-Miss Heatou played we'.l the ungraci
ous part of Za.a's aunt, Miss Brown
the double role of Floiianne and Mme
Du Fresno, and Adllne Fuller that
of Za.a's maid. -
The actors, one and all, appeared
to the best advantage of the present
engagement, and little Whit Brandon
was as clever as ever.
One Performance This Week.
The Ethel Tucker Stock company
will give but one performance in
each of .the thres towns this week.
Tuesday night they played Zaza at
Wallowa, and will present the same
play at Joseph Friday night.
Saturday night, the company will
present at the Enterprise opera house
:he famous three- act farce-comedy,
''A Runaway Match."
There Is more genuine, healthy
comedy and humorous situations In
A Runaway Match than in a half
dozen of the so-called farces. So
good is It that the situations,
speeches, laugh provoking complica
tions have been stolen and worked
over into more plays than any come
dies except Mollere's. Those who
are not afraid to laugh and want to
be really entertained and amused
for two hours should not miss A
Runaway Match Saturday night, Sept
ember 28
