AGAINST
REDUCTIONS IN
Train SERVICE
Along Branch
Lines Make Appeals to
the State Public Utilities
Commission.

Protests have already been regis
tered with the public utilities commits
sion against the decision and an
nouncement of the Oregon Short Line
Railway company reducing train serv-
ice on some of its brancn lines. The
commission has taken cognizance OF
these protests and taken the matter
up with the Short Line officials at Salt
Lake. The announcement that the
service would be reduced commencing
tomorrow was made by General Passen-
ger Agent d. Z. Burley. The order
was to the effect that on that date
service on the branch between Rich
field and Hill City. would be changed
from daily to tri-weekly; that the
motor service on the branch between
Minidoka and Bliss would be discon-
tinued: that the mixed train and mo-
tor service between the two last named
points would be consolidated. A sim
gle mixed train will be operated daily
except Sunday.
The Oregon Short Line announced
the change is made following a re-
trenchment policy. The complaints be-
fore the commission come from the
Hill City Drancn. Ihe greatest IN
convenience they say that the change
will work upon them will be caused
from the fact that instead Of getting
mail daily they will only get 1t every
other day. They say this will interfere
and work damage on their business. 1t
Is understood that the passenger serv-
ice is very light on this branch as well
as the Minidoka- Bliss, but the freight
service on the former Is heavy. Ship
pers there declare that the freight
service warrants the Short Line keep
