Show CACHE COUNTY AND THE RAILWAY RAIL-WAY If the number of the communications and the vigor of the language employed by some of the writers may be accepted as evidences of a fact the people of Cache Valley are both excited and in dinant just now The cause are found in the new railway time table and in the failure of the Union Pacific to keep up a supply of coal both as to quantity and quality THE HEBALD believes be-lieves the people of Cache are righteously right-eously mad at this time They are not being treated fairly or humanely by the railway company and their protests are meritorious As to the time table it is not believed that malice or a desire to annoy and punish the traveling public pub-lic actuated the railway officials who arranged the schedule It is also believed be-lieved that the evil justly complained of will noon be remedied either by changing the time of running trains across the valley or by putting on an acommodation train which will make the run during seasonable hours with the view to the pleasure of the patrons pat-rons It is understood in railway circles cir-cles that some better arrangement than that in operation will soon be made THE HERALD is alao of the opinion that the coal difficulty will be speedily overcome Lately the Union Pacific has shown a disposition to be fair and reasonable and when injustice has been called to the attention of the managers consideration has been given the matter mat-ter and in many instances the remedy has come However if the reasonable requests for relief shall not be heeded the good people of Cache will know how to help themselves and bring the railway rail-way company to terms This journal has a very distinct recollection of a contest between Cache County and the railway arising over a condition of things similar to that which is alleged to exist now On thatoccasion the peo pie of tho county finding that representations represen-tations protests and appeals were without with-out avail went to their own relief and they were not long in brin ng the tailroad to terms It cost the railroaJ J company a few thousand dollars to be convinced that Cache County could be independent and take care of itself and it didnt cost the people of Cache a nickel to i make the demonstration The occur that the good I rence was not so long ago people of our thrifty northern county have forgotten how to act under similar circumstances If the Union Pacific bas forgotten the incident it may be necessary to impart the lesson afresh which was given five or six years ago when a hundred or more teams were put on the road to haul coal between Ogden and Cache Valley and the people peo-ple one and all burned the wagoned fuel rather than patronize the railway company until the latter succumbed to the popular demand for fair treatment It is to be hoped that the Union Pacific will see the wisdom of being fair without with-out being forced to yield |
