Show Railroad Accommodations. The O. S. L, K. It. Co. adveitlscd excursion rates to Rcxburg last Saturday Satur-day and as n result the people all through this valley bought tickets. To the astonishment ofall of them no provision whatever was made for the people on the spur from Preston to Cache .Junction. Just the old accommodation accom-modation car, one half express and baggage, the other half for passengers. When the tialn pulled out of Lrgan there was fully a car load of passen-geis passen-geis standing In aisles anil In the baggage bag-gage car hnnglng on as best they could. Passcngcis thought that when the main line was leached comfortable comfort-able scats would be in readiness for them, but to their disappointment theic weie very few, and the Cache Valley people weie again bundled Into that same old baggage car, packed in thicker than hogs being shipped to maikct. The crowd consisted of poor old ladles bent In foim, mothers with two and tluec little crying chlldien clinging to their skirts and they weie unable to care for them, being ladcncd with a lunch basket and other little things. This is another sample of the Indifference Indif-ference and consideration tcndcicd the people of Cache Valley. If no accommodations ac-commodations were to be given why advertise? Somebody is culpable for this neglect. It Is evident the mil-road mil-road company does not care and the people nre expected to take such treatment as cited above and not complain. Would the rallioad have done this if n competing line was running run-ning into this county? Not much! It is time that a commciclal organization organiza-tion Isctfectedandstcps taken to bring about a betterment in the railroad service in tills county. For this and many other reasons that arc obvious an electric line should be built from the noi th to the south end of this valley, and then It Is but a few miles to the hot springs in Weber county. Self preservation is the first law of life and It is high time that somebody be up and doing, thereby placing a check on these gross Impositions that arc inflicted upon the people. |
