A. Ormandy, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific company, who visited in Med ford today. A similar sleeping car withdrawal will be made on the Dunsmuir-San Francisco run on the same date, Ormandy said. The O0T order has had the effect of cancelling 17 overnight sleeping car services on S. P. lines and has released for assign ment to military service from all roads in the United States, 900 sleeping cars to be used to re lieve the pressing need occasion ed by the rapid return of war veterans from Europe, Ormandy pointed out.. "I believe we all appreciate the pressing and urg ent necessity of providing sleep ing cars for these veterans, he said. "To protect, as far as we can. urgent and necessary travel be tween Southern Oregon and California points, we are arrang ing to assign a small amount of space In the through sleepers operating between Portland and San Francisco. This space will be made available, for instance, at Dunsmuir for San Francisco, and -at San Francisco for Duns muir. "Naturally, it is going to be impossible to provide space in the through cars to replace the local cars which have been can celled, but I believe, with the cordial cooperation of the busi ness communities in Southern Oregon, we will be able to take care of such urgent travel as is aDsoiutely necessary. At least we are going to do our utmost along those lines. Applications for space in these through cars should be made through, our pas senger station at Medford. - "The present passenger trains operating between Southern uregon points and Portland will continue to operate on present schedules, but they will carry only coach accommodations. Likewise, no changes will be made in the stage service operat ing between Medford and Duns muir and connecting with trains to and from San Francisco and Los Angeles at that point. "We, of the Southern Pacific, very much appreciate the won derful spirit in which the citi zens of Southern Oregon have accepted this new order and I want to assure the business peo ple and citizens of Medford, that 5?
