The American and Northern Pacific
Express companies are now handling
their freight at building on Wacouta
street, next to the union depot grounds,
and takingit to and from the cars with
trucks which are run over a platform
crossing the tracks at the foot of the
union depot platforms. 1t is now pro-
posed to relieve the union depot where
the daily movement and accumulation of
baggage blocks the way of passengers to
and from the trains-to make a baggage
warehouse on ;Wacouta street, opposite
