INLAND EMPIRE R. R.
Trains Will Reach OakesdaIe by
January Is.
ohIaVorabie Weather Conditions
Have Delayed Work VIII Be
At Coifax in Due Time.

The Spokane < Inland is making this
way and will reach Colfax and the coun-
/ try beyond IN the near future. 1t has
been IN operation from Spokane to
| v averiy Tor several weeks, but train ser
| vice as lar south a. Oakesdale ia expect
ed TO be inaugurated by the middle OF
| the month. The following is taken from
| the Spokesman Review:
January 10 is the date set by the
officials OF the Spokane & Inland for the
extension of its passenger service as far
south as Rosalia and by January 15 the
company expects TO be operating trains
az lar as Oakesdale. The service to
both points will be inaugurated with
electric equipment and the train schedule
fixed to accommodate the traffic to and
from both points as it develops. The
train schedule is now being worked out
and, together with the new tariff OF
passenger rates, will be announced in a
few DAYS.
Passenger service was first inaugu-
rated on the Spokane Il Inland on Sep
tember "A, trains being operated from
Spokane south as far as Waverly. For
the first lew weeks steam power was
used, since which time trains have been
operated by electric power. At first the
company operated but two trains each
way daily, but with the installation of
the electric service four trains each way
we're put on, and this number are now
beng operated. The traffic on the road
has already Increased to the point where
1t Is necessary to run two passenger cars
on many of the trains.
"Oakesdale is on the east division of
the system, 53 miles from Spokane, and
Rosalla Is on the west division, 45 miles
from Spokane. The road branches at
Spring Valley junction, 40 miles south
OF Spokane. Eventually it is the inten-
tlOn OF the company to operate through
trains from Spokane over both divisions,
but it is possible that at first the
through trains will be run over one di-
vision only, stub train running over
the other and connecting with the
through trains at the junction.
RATES of fare on the system are some
what less than three cents a mile, max
ing a slight reduction from those in
effect over the steam lines to many
points, and this will continue as the two
lines OF the system are extended south
ward.
Speaking of the progress of construc-
tiOn work, General Manager J. B. Inger-
sol OF the company said:
We are now laying steel across the
new bridge at KOsalia, which is already
completed, and will complete the instala-
llon OF the power transmission system
az soon as possible after the rails are
down. We were delayed somewhat in
getting material, but unless some un-
foreseen obstacle arises to prevent we will
be running trains to Rosalia by January
