BETTER TRAIN SERVICE
WALLACE AND SPOKANE
SCHEDULE RECOMMENDED TO
COMPANY-BASE6ALL OUT
LOOK is FINE.

The long drawn out controversy
between the Wallace board OF trade
and the O.-W. X. x y. company over
train service between this city and
Spokane is now virtually ended, judged
by the proceedings of the meeting OF
the board of trade yesterday. Presi-
dent Callahan evidently was quick to
sense a peaceful settlement when he
observed Major +. l.. Quigley, chair
man Of the traffic and industry COM
mittee, seated beside IL. J. Arnett,
agent of the O.-W. II. & n, and his
premonition was confirmed when he
called upon the traffic chairman for a
report. Major Quigley stated that he
had been advised by a railroad official
that the company expected to be able
to announce definitely the establish
ment Of train service between Wallace
and Spokane via Plummer within a
week or ten days. and that the COM
pany would be glad to have the board
of trade submit a tentative train sched-
ule. stating that the company would do
its best to comply with the wishes OF
the board in that respect He stated
that it would be necessary for the
board of trade to make its recommen-
dations at once, as the schedule would
first have to be approved by the rail
road authorities in Portland and sane
toned by the Idaho utilities commits
sion.
Proposed Train Schedule.
Major Quigley then submitted the
following schedule, which is not ma
terially different from the present
schedule except the afternoon train
from Spokane which, if the new card
is adopted, will leave Spokane at 5:45,
this for the purpose OF permitting Occur
d'Alene people to make the round trip
to Spokane in day and have several
hours for the transaction of business:
Leave Spokane Sis a. m; arrive
Wallace 11:45.
Leave Spokane 5:45 p. m; arrive
Wallace $3.50
Leave Wallace 1880 a. m; arrive
Spokane 1880.
Leave Wallace 200 p. m; arrive
Spokane 5:45.
This proposed schedule was discuss
ed at considerable length, and while
some Objectionable features were
pointed out in connection with the late
train, particularly with respect to the
evening mail which would not be de-
livered till morning, it was evident
that these were offset by the advan-
tages of the service. By a unanimous
vote the board recommended the
schedule for adoption by the railroad
company
Baseball Outlook Good.
John f. Ferguson chairman of the |
baseball committee, reported a lineup
for the best team Wallace ever had, /
good men having been secured for all |
positions except pitcher and it is ex-
pected that this would soon be filled. |
He said that the committee had decided
to give two dances to raise baseball |
funds, the first to be given on April II
and the second on May 30. Mr.. Fergu-
son also said that every day letters
were received from ball players desir-
ing to sign up with Wallace and giving
their qualifications for outside employ
nent. The list included electrician,
milk wagon driver, truck
drivers, lawyer, grocery clerk, banjo
player and other lines, all of Which are
to employers who need
lelp and who desire to promote good
baseball.
