u. P. Cuts Local
Train Service
Retrenchment Program on Union Paci-
fic Lines Causes Reduction Of
Service OH Local Road.

Today's train will be the last daily
train over the local line for the present,
according to announcement made by
Union Pacific officials this week.
H~enceforth, tri-weekly train service
will be given. the train making the
round trip from Encampment each
Tuesday Thursday and Saturday.
Hence there will be no train tomorrow.
This change is said TO be in line with
a general plan of retrenchment being
put into effect throughout the Union
Pacific system, u to decreased bust
ness and slack passenger travel. The
local agent has no information as to
how long this plan will continue in OPP
Grafton, but IL is believed that It will be
only temporary. Increased business
on the local line this summer, inolud-
ing heavy stock shipments during the
late SUMMED and fall, wi --roubtedly
bring about the resumption If daily
l'service within a few Months.
Meanwhile. local parties will have
automobiles in operation between Sar-
! atoga and Rawlins on the days on
which the train does not run, which
will allow the travelling public to get
! from Walcott to- Saratoga without any
long ~lay-overs. Glen 4. Scott of the
Wyoming Garage is preparing to run
passenger autos between Saratoga and
EWalcott, two round trips a day, ON Sun
days, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days, which service will connect with
the Union Pacific local trains east and
west, and he will initiate this service
tomorrow.
The tri-weekly trains will run on the
same time schedule as formerly, leav-
ing Saratoga each morning at Z :45 and
returning from Walcott will arrive here

improvements on
Saratoga Bridge
Approach on East Side viii be Raised
to Make a More Gradual Grade.
New Floor Being Laid. ,

Gene Walck is in charge of a county
contract on the bridge over the North
Platte at Saratoga, which will include
new flooring Of three-inch pine planks
throughout the length of the bridge,
and the raising of the approach on the
east side to reduce the heavy pull now
required to get upon the bridge with
n heavy load. Considerable grading
will be necessary in order to make the
east approach more gradual, and the
job is a rather ticklish one to do with
continual traffic going over the struc-
ture.
The plank being used for the new
floor was u by Otis Mowry at his
Heather Creek sawmin, and it is be-
lieved this lumber will last better un-
der the traffic than has the fir lumber
formerly used The improvements will
require a couple OF weeks more to COM
plete.

sworn afidavits Of the existence of

Jellison refused 10 file them.
He declares that these affidavits
were offered at various times be-

Both Ninnedge and the attorney
