How About Trains
Seven and Eight?
Report That Omaha Line Will Not
Restore Them: Mankato
Is Concerned

Reports have been circulated to
the effect that the Omaha railroad
has made the definite announcement
that trains seven and eight leaving
Fairmont at 6 a. m. for Minneapolis,
and returning at $40 p. m. have
been permanently discontinued, says
The Fairmont Sentinel.
Investigation discloses there is
some foundation for the report, but
no one but the high mosuls can co..
rectly interpret the meaning Of the
bulletin recently forwarded to the
local Omaha station. e.,
Information concerning trains Z
and s on the Fairmont- Minneapo-
lis line is covered in this item on
the bulletin: T..
Trains not restored: No. and 8
between Fairmont and Minneapolis;
Nos. 40 and 43 on the Gilmore line
and Nos. Is and II between ,Wor-
Ellington and Sioux City. Further
details in the next official time
card" ..- ....
Inquiry discloses that time carus
are revised as the occasion de-
mands, and there lis no telling when
the next one will be issued.
Permanent loss Of trains seven
and eight will not only result in de-
creased passenger service to the
twin cities for Fairmonters, but 1t
will mean that several railroad men
who have made their homes here
will move to other points.
There remains but one course of
procedure for Fairmont. The coun-
Gil, Commercial club or some public
spirited citizen should at once cite
the officials of the road TO show
cause before the railroad and ware
house commission why the service
should not be restored.
1t is expected that the Civic and
Commerce association in Mankato
will assist the Commercial Club at
Fairmont in its efforts to obtain a
restoration of trains seven and eight
which Mankato people have found
most convenient to use in going to
and returning from the twin cities.

"The New York Times has stated
that foundations have been laid for

I will add that another aim has been
reached, namely, the placing OF
France and Germany together at the

Little by little they will under
stand each other better and they will
realize that the international s1tua-

from the obligation of participating
in the economic reconstruction or the

a necessity.
