the city yesterday comforting with members
of the Commercial club regarding the put
ting on of another passenger train on the
branch between this city and Lincoln. The
Commercial club has had the matter up
with him for some time, but he has inclined
to the belief that it would not pay, because
the government would not give them a con-
tract to carry two daily mails over this
line, and besides, 1t would be too long a
run for the train crew from Red Oak to
Lincoln and back in a day. They did not
care to put on extra crews to make the
run between this city and Lincoln, as the
crew from the east doubles back to Red
Oak here each day. He also informed the
members that unless the city would close
South Sixth street and give the road the
property they would not talk about the
matter OF a new passenger depot. The mat
ter of a new passenger depot has been up
for some time.
