Motor Car Now i'm Service.

The McKeen motor car, recently
purchased by the Saratoga & Encamp-
ment Railway Company to handle the
passenger, mail and express business on
the local line, was placed in commits
sion Monday morning and has been
making regular trips on the new
schedule each day since. The car is
a beauty, and gives accommodations
which had not been enjoyed by patrons
of the local line heretofore.
The car will comfortably seat 60
passengers. besides having ample room
for express, mail and light freight, and
it runs absolutely on schedule time.
Persons who have beer accustomed to
taking their leisure in getting to the
depot. on the supposition that the train
would probably be late, had best speed
up and meet the motor car on schedule
time. Southbound, the motor arrives
here at 500 a. m. and leaves at 9:30.
Northbound. it arrives at 1866 p. m.
and leaves at :05. A new schedule
will be, adopted next Monday, which
will change the arrival of the motor in
the morning to 9:25, and in the after
noon. to 3:35. a 10 minute stop being
made at this station.
The big engines are operated by
Engineer Clyde Mover. who drove the
car through from Omaha and has since
been employed by the company.
