TRAIN SERVICE CHANGE
Not Known Exactly What
Will be Done in the
Matter

There have been a good many re-
ports and rumors of various Kinds az
to proposed changes In the N. P.
train schedule. and the last report was
chat on next Monday the Minnesota
& international trains running from
Northome to Brainerd would run to
Little Falls instead of Brainerd. and
perhaps to Norris Nos. 8 and 6, run
ning by Brainerd, were to run from
Little Falls to Staples instead, giving
points along the cutoff the day
passenger service of which they are
now deprived. Whether these changes
are to be made IL still a question,
although it is likely that the NJ. & I.
trains will run here. anyway, arriv-
ing between 10 and l O'Clock In the
afternoon, and leaving between . and
, 80.
According to the Brsinerd Dispatch
OF Tuesday. changes are very unlike
ly. This 10 based on an interview
with Asst. General Superintendent
Kline, who said that no changes
would be made atfectine Brainerd. He
said that new time card had been
considered, but had been abandoned.
He is quoted as follows:
''The people of Brainerd have not
COW nor never had any reason to be-
come exercised over any proposed
changes in the train service. Even If
the change had been made. as contem-
plated. the same service that the
people of Brainerd now enjoy would
be in force. It did NOT mean the TAX
ing of of Nos. and 6. It simply
meant that two or three cars would
De detached from No. at Little Falls
and run west over the cutoff. Do you
think the people Of Brainerd would
object to the Northern Pacific running
Two or three cars from Little Falls tc
Fargo? The same service 90 far al
Srainerd is concerned would be in
vogue if the schedule had gone into
effect
The Dispatch further says:
There have been some rumors a,
to how these trains would run. and
there may have bsen some foundation
for many Of these. 1t was told that
the Minnesota & International would
-un through to Morris, making Little
Falls the most advantageous point tc
change crews, etc. This rumor seemed
somewhat authenticated from the fact
that the mail clerk on the M. & l.
had been instructed that after next
Sunday his run would be from
Northome to Morris. There was an
other recent rumor that the NJ & l.
passenger would run only from Be
midi to Little Falls, but this seemed
hardly possible as the facilities fol
hauling mail north of Bemidji would
not be in accord with the contract
with the government The story raj
taat Nos. and would run over tht
''cut off, and that people going from
D3oAA0Au " LILO Will N1G406 "OulC
have to take the M. & I. and change
cars at Little Falls, connecting with
No, 6 at that point. The same would
be true of the Duluth train which nov
turns at this point. This train wa
slated to run through to Staples ant
connect with No. 5 going west.''
The Dispatch says that Mr.. kim
says no such time card was in contem
plation.
A few days will show what tn
changes are to be. It is certain .tha
if nothing ls done about helping ::ou
the people along the cutoff stroni
