Commissioner Todd G. Weston told the group that it was never the intention of the commission or the planning and zoning board to go into the proposed rezoning without looking into the mat--. ter carefully.

Three regular daily trains each way were operating and many passengers would come to the Cache Junction depot to buy their tickets for journeys to far away as well as to places nearby. There was a coal chulc to service engines with coal and a water tatnk to supply water for the engines is still here, but the coal chute has been dismantled for many years.

Now, all this business goes by other means of transportation. The telegraph and steam engines have been replaced by telephones and diesel locomotives. Three agents have served at Cache Junction during his service there: James Slice, Raymond C. Pike and presently W. II. Fleming. McPherren married Bessie W. Wyatt, Aug. 17, 1930.
