SERVICE
TO GO INTO~EFFECT MARCH II
Adds Another to Its Service

Ever since the Great Northern estab-
lished its Flyer" service between this
city and the. coast the Northern Pa
cifie has been trying to evolve a plan
whereby it could compete with it.
There were a number of difficulties in
the way of the Northern Pacific on ac-
count of its longer stretch of road to
Portland and the necessity of arriving
at and leaving that city at a suitable
hour. These obstacles have been over
come, and a new train schedule which
will place the Northern Pacific on more
equal terms with the Great Northern
has been arranged .- ....s
Beginning March u, the Northern
Pacific will cancel it's 2:15 %. M. over
land train from this city substituting
for it train which will leave this city
at S:55 a. m. or five minutes earlier
than the Great Northern Flyer" and
adding another train which will leave
this city at 10:45 p. m.
There will be changes all along the
line In both directions, as will be seen
from the following announcement con-
tanning the details of the new-service.
