is announced, by having their local
railroad ticket agent wire the ticket
agent of the Oregon Short Line either
at Pocatello or at Boise.
Preparations are being made to
accommodate 800 persons on the
train, with baggage cars, coaches,
diners, and standard sleepers. While
no present announcement is made or
the number of cars that will COM
pose the train, provision for 800 per
sons, it is assumed, will require a
train fully equal to that of last falI'
which consisted of 10 cars, pulled IN
to Moscow by two engines. I
students are advised to see to it
that their baggage is placed on the
special train. This will insure their
having it with them when they ar
rive in Moscow. Otherwise, if it is
handled on regular trains, there is
a chance of delay in its arrival, with
resultant Inconvenience.
"The student special train OF the
Union Pacific System has come to
be, within the last few years, we'll
established feature of the opening of
the university each fall. The trip
itself affords opportunity for renewal
of many old acquaintances among
students from towns all over southern
Idaho, together with the beginnings
of new acquaintanceships among new
and old students. When the train
reaches Moscow it is met, like an ex-
cursion train, by students, faculty
members, and townspeople.
"Provision of this train eliminates
several inconvenient changes and
stop-overs.
"This train is believed by univer-
sity officials to be unique among such
trains in the United States, covering
a longer distance than any other stu
dent train in the country" ~
