PULLMAN SERVICE
10 END SATURDAY
The last sleeping car in the
Southern Oregon-Portland serv
ice will leave Medford on the
Saturday evening train, July 14;
arriving in Portland the morn
ing of July 15, to comply with
the order recently issued by the
United States Office of Defense
Transportation, according to J.
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
