ANOTHER COAST TRAIN
Report that Northern Paci-
fic Will Increase Service

A rumor that seems to have some
thing substantial back of 1t is going
the rounds of the railroad men. It is
to the effect that about June l the
Northern Pacitc's excellent train ser
vice here is to be increased with an
other coast train. says the Fargo
Forum.
It is stated thai Nos. / and 2, the
North Coast Limited, is to be linn.
tied train in truth. Reports say that
it will be composed only of mail
car, baggage car and Pullmane, with
diner. and observation car of course.
The equipment Is to be absolutely new
and fresh from the car builders. The
present equipm mt of Nos. and 2
will give two practically limited
trains. The added service will be
gained from running Nos. and =,
now stopping at Jamestown, as coast
train.
it is said that the management Of
the company deems it best to make
four regular passengers each way
daily, rather than run the present
trains in two and sometimes three
sections.
It ia believed that the adoption of
the two cont FIR. in Minnesota and
North Dakota will stimulate travel.
This has been found to be the fact IN
Nebraska, where this rate went into
effect two months ago. Instead OF
taking off trains there, as was threat
ened, extras have been put in service.

PROTECT PICTURE POSTAL CARDS.
Suggestion to Postmaster of Means to Pre-

Sir: have read with great interest OF the Hkeli-
hood Of the appointment Of Assistant Postmaster
Morgan 70 the postmastership Of this city. have
q suggestion that hope he will consider It is 70
protect the popular picture postal card from dis
lgurement All OF US who have received picture
postal cards from thoughtful friends have been
grieved To nd oftent!mes thar the picture has been
distiguTed by ink. This has been caused by the
rubbing Of the card against some other postal or
letter freshly stamped and with the ink OF the
cancellation mark yet undried.
Now II seems TO that IL would be a simple
matter 10 attach some botting device 10 the can
collation. stamp that soon as the cancellation
was made the blotter would drop down and sop I'D
the superfuols ink. In this way our picture postal
cards might reach US unsullied. Or If this is not
feasible. why not have basket at the cancellation
table specially for picture post cards? I hope Mr.
Morgan will think OF this seriously. READER
