Time was when the O. r. & n. Rail
way and it's branches were deemed of
importance, and its affairs were con-
Quoted in business like manner. The
addition Of the ''Short Line" system
lost it some Of its prestige but it still
continued to be fsctor in the affairs of
the country. Since the Union Pacific
Anaconda has swallowed it Up We are
made painfully aware that our once
beasted and we'll conducted railroads
have become mere accommodation branch
es for a great system. While the North
ern Pacific and Hunts lines rave been
making their usual time and trips, the
grasshopper engines of the Union Paci-
fc have abandoned the Spokane
