he pulled out about dozen mileage
books. Nov, honor bright, Is 1T not

%, that runs from Cedar Rapids to
Boone ahead Of the fast mail, to pick
up passengers for points west Of Boone

seldom the train is on time This was
the case on Saturday couple Of weeks
ago, when the train was thirty minutes
late and at LaMoille 1t picked up
three passengers for north Of Ames, for
some point in northern Iowa. The 9TH

local, and the passengers were com
PEELED to remain in Ames from Satur-
day until Monday morning, as there
was no train until that time. If people

for trains In cases like this. Before the
two cent rate took effect the train at
Ames was never known to leave before
the local passenger from the east ar
rived. but now it is different.
