WILL ASK FOR NEW
ELECTRIC TRAIN
To Run Locally Every Hour To
Points Adjoining this. City

rectors of the Commercial Club was
held in the club rooms yesterday
/ afternoon all of the Directors being
/ present, the minutes OF the previous
meeting were read and accepted.
A communication was read from
Rev. C. ]. Renhard, secretary of the
Occur d'Alene College. asking that
some measures be taken to procure
local train between Hayden Lake.
Post Falls and the city. He sug-
gested that the matter be taken up,
with the schools etc, and the cleo
trio railway be approached about
running train between aforesaid
places to be convenient for the
school children as the connections
at the present time were very poor.
1t was proposed to run a service
every hour during the morning, ond
the same in the latter part of the
afternoon, and evening. A service
like the one suggested would be a
great boon for the town, In that the
farmers in the neighboring vicinity
would be adle to come to Couer
d'Alene oftener with. and for their
wares, as it is at the present time
when farmer gets through his work
in the evening and wants to come
TO town to purchase few necessi-
ties, he comes into town with the
plesent prospect of having to walk
home FIVE or six miles. and the con-
dttion of the roads is not OF nature
to cherish the walking that distance
every other evening.
| The task of providing an hourly
service during the morning and
evening. is not so stupendious as one
would first would imagine it to be,
as the cars are lying idle in the
barns big half of the time, and
there are plenty of train crews who
would embrace the opportunity OF
making a few extra dollars. If
the Inland Empire System has got
any interest in this corner of the
Inland Empire, ii would be to their
own advantage, there are plenty OF
farmers in the surrounding neigh
borhood who ae only too anxious to
do thei own shae in bringing this
movement about, as they want to
come to town. he cannot coem du-
ing the day as he has his fam to at
tend to. and he cannot come in the
evening. because thee is no tain
service.
Business men are omplaining
about hard times, and We would
suggest why not get busy. and s,a
that the electic company gives a
sevice that will bling the people in
to the city. That is what we want
We want the famers to come and
see us often as they ae the best

matter was discussed at some length
