INCREASED TRAIN SERVICE
Morning Passenger Train From P0rt-
land to Dallas Will Be Put On
About July 1.

HOOut Jul Il
Dallas already good train service
is to be made better by the addition of
a morning passenger train from
Portland. The people of this city
already have morning train service
over the West Side division, by way
OF Derry and independence, but the
new train is to run direct to Dallas
over the Yamhill division. The exact
date OF the new schedule will be an
nounced later, but the plans have
been matured, and it is probable that
the new train will be put on about
July l,
The morning train will leave the
Jefferson street depot in Portland
daily at $50 o'clock and will arrive
in Dallas at II AS a. IN. Returning,
the train will leave Dallas at 3:15
p. M, reaching Portland at G 80 p. m.
The arrangements for motor connec-
tion between this train and Inde-
pendence and Monmouth have not
been announced.
The addition of this train will make
Dallas the most important railroad
terminal in the Willamette Valley.
When the new schedule is put into
effect, the hours Of the arrival and de-
parture of trains will be as follows:
Yamhill division-Trains will leave
Dallas for Portland, via McMinnville
and Newberg, at a. m. and 3:15p. m.
Trains will arrive from Portland, via
McMinnville and Newberg, at IL AS
a. m. and 80 p. m.
West Side division, via Independence
motor and Derry stage-Leave Dallas
for Corvallis, Albany and Southern
Oregon points at 8 AS a. m. Leave
Dallas for Portland, via McMinnville
and Hillsboro, at l p. m. Arrive in
Dallas from Corvallis and Albany,
via Derry stage, at ;35 p. IN. Arrive
in Dallas from Portland, via Derry
or Independence, at II AS a. m.
Independence & Monmouth motor
Arrive from Independence and Mon
mouth at 8 40 a. M, IL AS a. m. and
6 :55 p. m. Arrive from Lewisvile and
Airlie at II AS a. m. Leave Dallas
for Independence, Monmouth and
Airlie at :45 a. m. and p. m. Leave
Dallas for Independence and Mon
mouth at :85 p. m.
Dallas and Falls City railroad
Leave Dallas for Falls City at Z 80
a. m. and 30 p. m. Arrive in Dallas
from Falls City at 9 30 a. m. and 40
p. m.
The foregoing will be the correct
train schedule after July L, unless
changes are made in the schedules on
the West Side division and motor line.
The new morning train from Portland
will be a great convenience to the
people in the north end of Polk county,
as it will enable them to visit Dallas
and return home the same day.
The Southern Pacific Company will
make another important change on
July l, when it will begin running
daily freight trains to Dallas over the
Yamhill division, The freight train
on this road now makes trips from
Portland every other day. The daily
freight will run no farther south than
Dallas, and the motor will continue to
handle the Southern Pacific Com
pany S freight business between Dallas
and Airlie. The hours of departure
and arrival of the daily freight will
remain the same as at present The
new freight train will cause the train
crew to stop over in Dallas every
night, instead of every other night,
and it is probable that the members
Of the crew having families will move
them from Portland to Dallas, which
will mean a substantial addition to
the population Of the town.
