AN EAST END DEPOT

We have it on good authority
that a petition will soon be elrcul-
ate for signatures, asking the Sou
thern Pacific r. r. to construct, on
track of land which will be- don
ated to them IN East End, a way
station where persons living there
can get off and on the trains with
out having to come way up town to
trains, or to walk so far down town
after having left trains.
A lot for the location of such a
flag station will be offered the ). +.
and it lives just between the K. K.
and st Peters street where Ann
street crosses st Peter.
Such station would be of I'M
mense benefit to thousands who
live In the East End, aud but a
minute a, most would be necessary
for a time TO stop to put off or take
on passengers, who woud be IN
easy walking distance of their
homes.
If 1t be true that the more easy
lravel is made the more the travel,
hen bis flag or way station should
increase travel In Eat End to a
very meierlal extent.
We hope the S. P. will find that
their Interests, as well as those of
the public, will be greatly bene-
fitted by such an arrangement, and
that the East End. stat on will be
one of the improvements OF the
early future.
