Independence, March 20. Kiutok Kxt'kkvkisk: The Pal l.n Observer copies partly an arti t!e written ly me to the Ortgonian whe:-iit I opposed motor terviee in lieu of a (.'orvalli sp.-cinl and ...iiinrn' tho Ob erver C.-iIls mo to t.tfk f r inv utterances which he cannot approve. In a free country every man is allowed free speech so 1 read his spicy little article with a great deal of pleasure. It gave me pome satisfaction, for he paid, ' it Independence doepn't ap preciate t lie motor send it over to Dallas." Now we don't want the WhiiHkini.lndriiende'iict! motor and as Hayter and Dallas, so he says do, why not yofi, Mr. Hayter, ste.rt out with a petition asking Manager Koehler to have the motor run from Dallas to Whiteson and coif neet with a train to rur. troiu Cor vallis to Portland and return. Now. Mr. Havter. there are two of these motors; one of these could handle the trade of Aiilie, Indepen dence, Monmouth and Dallas as it now does, while the other could run from Dallas to Whiteson and return. It could make two trips a day. It would handle quite an ex tensive traffic fur Dallas and would nav the motor comuany. We did not propose this plan when we pe titioned for the Corvallis-Portland morning train because we believed the people of Dallas would prefer a regular train run by the South ern Pacific and we believe it yet notwithstanding .Hayttr's asser tions that they would prefer the motor service. We in Independence joined Cor vallis in the fight for a better train service a service where'n we could g to Portland, transact our busi ness and return at night. We ni-ver mentioned a service from In dependence; we don't want that service. We want a service to talce in the whole of the trackage from Corvallis to Portland. We want close connections at Whiteson and we want Dallas to haye good ser vice. We would be little indeed to ft i" Vi n n Tr ill, CrtrTf aTf 1 d QnA tko tnurnal b v between Independence and Corval lis. We of Independence have a friendly feeling for Dallas. We . .1 t 1 i i want to see ner grow; we ime to see) her push forward; we want to see her Falls City road completed; we would like to see the Yamhill di vision extended into Kings Valley; we would like to see her passenger trains , covering all this territory; we would like to see her get better freight service. ' In fact we realize that Independence can't be all and that Dallas is a good, growing, thriving town, but we don't believe that the Dallas people are as small and near sighted in their public movements as Hayter is. The people ot Dallas who we know are broader minded and more generous in their dealings than is Editor Hayter. Now we again say we want close connections at Whiteson so that the whole of the valley on the west side of the Willamette river will be benefitted. We still want a train from CorvallU. We dont Mwv M motor line can handle the tratho between Independence nml White son in tiystcniatio manner. We know that their trip to llilUbro for ileprere ntative Tongue' funeral was a fatlure. We know that five sixths of the people who intended i. .t, did imt eo and we believe that the people would nU patron ize tt. The motor is a rent thing in its way, but there in a point wherein motor per vice- conn to a MaudstiM and wherein regular ort-i. .. U-i'.inu's needful, '1 he ll.tlll BPI - motor has all it can do.- It is kept tm the run trom morning till night. It makes a round trip to Aiilie md hack at 7:'U, which is over 'JO . ... i, miles; it muses uvu mpe .. Dallas, making 10 mil's to add to this and it makes one more trip to Airlie a d:y, making over M) miles daily for the motor. Now add to that about oO miles more each day and you would surely soon have a dilapidated, over worked motor system. Furthermore, tho propos ed plan does not meet the demand of the Willamette valley. We need a service from one end of the valley to the other, civit.g; the whole valley a good service. The traveling men over the whole W il lamette valley are continually brought to a standstill. It costs every wholesale house doing busi ness in Oregon more money be tween Portland and Corvallis than in any like section of tho whole Northwest, foT they can't cover the territory without a loss of time. 0 A.
