MOTOR CAR SERVICE
MAY BE INSTALLED
Gasoline Motor Car Service Between
ColfaX and Moscow Will Com
mence About April 10, Ac-
cording to Rumor.

Rumor has it that the proposed
motor car service between Colfax and
Moscow, through Pullman, will be-
come reality about the middle Of
April. The service has been under
consideration by the railroad officials
of the DIV. r. & n Co. for some
time and it is to be hoped that the
rumors will prove correct. Nothing
definite can be learned. Agent
Brownell of the local station states
that he has received no notice from
headquarters that the service would
be installed, although they have been
considering it for several months.
The motor car service would do
away with the mixed train on this
line, a freight train each day being
planned to solve the freight prob
lem, while the motor car would
handle nothing but passenger traf-
iic. 1t is proposed to make three
trips each day, about an hour and
thirty minutes being required to
make the run from Colfax to Moscow.

fast and exciting that the majority of

Murphy was downed twice. Twenty

Boston. Mass, May 26.-Of all true
words of tongue or pen the truest are
these: And the last shall be first"
That does not rhyme, but it fits the
facts and contains more truth than
poetry. for the Cubs encountered their
first postponed game in the east on
the last day of their eastern schedule.
The rain, which kept up intermit-
tently from the fifth inning of Wednes-
days game until the Cubs blew this
town last night, was on the job most
persistently just before time for call
ing the final contest of the series here.
Consequently it had to be postponed,
and July II was the date fixed by the
home mana cement for playing 1t off.
1t will then become the second half of
a double header.
