1.-THE KEILIElER TRAIN - ~ e.
We were not aware that Kelliher had no
regular train service until advised by peo-
ple of that village to the effect that only.
one train 81 week was being run. OF course.
we knew that the daily passenger train
was abandoned July oath, but I'VE were OF
the impression that daily or at least tri-
weekly trains were run into kelfher. from n.
Funkley. ..5~,.s -
AS given out by William Lennon, the
Keliher community has some three thou
sand people who are effected by the train
service. This being true, that community
is certainly entitled to better train service,
and we feel that every! effort should be
made to help them get such service.
Every Bemidii business man, who can,
should attend the hearing tomorrow night;
at the Civic and Commerce rooms, so tkAt
he may know all the facts and do allshe:
cansto remedy, the wrongs, if any have
been done, to- one Of the county most

entitled to at least one train a day from
Funkley. "a freight with a passenge coach
might do, but this train should remain in
