NO NEW TRAIN YET.
Union Pacific Again POstpones Put
ting on the Flyer.

From the present outlook, the
Union Pacific will experience an
other delay in getting the new train
started between st. Louis and the Pa
cific coast" says the Topeka State
journal.
This new train which will rus
from st. Louis to Kansas City via the
Wabash, and from Kansas City on to
the coast via the Union Pacific, Ore
gon Short Line, and the Southern
Pacific, was to have started April 4,
but the company was unable to get
the equipment ready by that time,
and it was announced that the new
train would be ready for service April
1S, which is next Sunday. Thus far
nothing has been heard by the local
authorities which would indicate that
the train would be started Sunday.
1t is likely that further delays have
been met in equipping this new train
and that the service has been post
poned until either April "a or May
list. The time of 101 and 1902 wiz be
greatly changed when the new sched-
ule goes in"

residents a suitable supply without

one of the old citizens there, says he
hauls a great deal of spring water
240 gallons to the load at 81 load.
Up in the hills three miles south are
some fine springs and it is planned to
build pipe line to town letting the
water run to a big cement reservoir
SO feet square from which all who
wish may take water. About $500
has already been subscribed and an
engineer will be asked to give fig
ures on the cost.
