The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1923-06-21

II HERE WILL be no discontinue
ance of train service between
Wallace and Burke and Wallace
and Mullan. This was definite
ly announced by r.. II. Strachan.
chairman OF the special committee on
/ train service. at the meeting of the
board of trade yesterday. MIR. Stra-
chan stated that this information was
obtained from local representatives Of
the Northern Pacific In considering
a summer schedule, the company had
suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of taking
off the local trains and let the fact
be known evidently for the purpose of
sounding out public sentiment with
respect to the same. This resulted in
the appointment of special commit
tee from the board of trade to take up
the matter with the company and al
so the question of putting on a train
service that would accommodate en-
ployes of the mines in the canyon who
reside and who might desire to reside
in Wallace. The action of the board
of trade in appointing this commit
tee and in inviting patrons of the rail-
road in the canyon to meet with the
board and express their views on the
question resulted in bringing out
strong opposition both in Wallace and
the canyon to taking off the trains.
and this sentiment was fortified by
the filing of petitions with the COM
mittee bearing the signatures of more
than 500 people of the canyon. Evi-
IDENTIFY it was this showing that caus-
ed the railroad company to abandon
the idea Of disseminating the service
and enabled Mr.. Strachan to make the
definite announcement that the ser
vice would not be disturbed. Mr..
Strachan also stated that owing to the
absence of members Of the committee
no further action had been taken on
the question of train service to accom-
modate employees living in Wallace.
but that the matter would be taken
up upon the return Of these members.
Fourth of July Celebration.
II. J. Rossi chairman of the com
mittee to raise funds for the Fourth
of July and fremens convention,
stated that the road bond campaign
had so absorbed public attention dur
ing the past few weeks that the COM
mittee had thought it advisable to
wait until after the election before
taking up the work Now that the
bonds had been happily disposed of,
Mr.. Rossi said he would call meet
ing of the committee this week and
proceed to the collection of funds.
In this connection e. f. Mackey
suggested that a committee of ar
should be appointed to
take charge of the Fourth of July cell
and after some discussion, in
which it developed that last year the
for the Fourth were
placed in the hands OF the baseball
committee it was decided to follow
that precedent at this time.
Sentiment for Celebration.
No formal action having been taken
the board to a celebration.
Plat p. Morrow moved that it was
the sense of the board of trade that
there be no Fourth of July celebration
in Wallace this year.
This brought a vigorous protest
from r. r. Strachan. who said that it
had long been the custom TO celebrate
the Fourth in Wallace. By courtesy
and common consent Wallace had
celebrated the Fourth, Mullan Labor
lay and Kellogg had the annual In
lustrial union picnic. He insisted
that Wallace should celebrate.
J. c. White, chairman of the base
ball committee, said that NIullan
would celebrate on July and the
baseball schedule provided for a
game there on that date and at Wal
ace on the Fourth. He favored cele-
orating.
r. r. MaclIey moved as a substitute
hat the Fourth Of July be celebrated
IN Wallace and an amendment by Geo.
Mortimer that the celebration be for
1ne day only was accepted. Before
the substitute was submitted Mr.
Morrow. who made the original mo-
ton accepted the substitute, which
was adopted.
