Mrs. Koenig is the former Lorna Lucas.—O’Neill Photo Co. 8 - Month Trial for 2 Trains (Contiued from page 1) The resolutions had the effect of setting the tenor of the Val entine meeting. Stewart introduced C. C. Pan zer, MD, who suggested com munities along the route should increase the use of the trains in relation to passenger, mail, ex press and freight. He suggested groups and individuals should “encourage the use of these trains, and urged the railroad “to modernize its coaches, ex tend more courtesy to patrons, advertise and employ more effi cient personnel.” Doctor Panzer pointed out the unions should be “more co operative with the rail man agement” in order to resolve problems such as those sur rounding trains 13 and 14. “People in the area should back the railroad to the limit,” the Bassett spokesman declared. John B. Cassell, attorney and president of the Ainsworth Chamber of Commerce, traced the Niobrara river basin devel opment until now and told about the 98 - million - dollar develop ment that is in the making. “Congress will be asked for 'con struction funds this next year.” Cassell furnished statistics em phasizing the expansion of bus iness, population and rail ship ments in other irrigated areas and stressed the commodity pro duction accompanying irrigation. Cassell pleaded that railroads are “urgently needed” in this development and all citizens should cooperate in support of j Li iv- icio t l vv -uiau-CA press trains which now “operate in jeopardy.” Ira Watson of Inman was next introduced by Stewart. A large scale hay dealer and rail ship per, Watson pointed out that dur ing the memorable 1948-’49 win ters the railroads were able to “come through” with mail, ex press and food to the beleaguer ed communities when highway traffic was tied up. He felt rail roads have an obligation to the communities they serve and the communities, likewise, have an obligation to the railroads. “There should be cooperation between both. Railroads seek a profit and people want—and will pay for—good service.” “I believe people are short sighted in not patronizing the railroads in view of taxes paid by the rails. In many instances the railroads are the heaviest taxpayers in the communities they serve.” Watson injected nostalgia into his remarks. He told the audi ence he had recently completed a new home with a large picture window facing the North West ern tracks. He said this was for the benefit of his grandchlidren, who derived special enjoyment from watching the trains. “Cooperation can overcome many obstacles and certainly is worth a try to save these two trains,” he concluded. A veteran Stuart businessman, Norris W. Coats, was the next speaker. He pointed out that business people “should familiar ize themselves with express rates” and learn that in many instances the “rail express is cheaper than parcel post, often better than freight.” Coats said he was satisfied the meeting, still in progress, already had secured “several hundred good railroad boosters.” H. W. Blatchford, Meadow Grove postmaster, spoke as a delegate from the town’s com mercial club. He pointed out that star route (truck) drivers only load and unload mail. Any elimination of mail clerks (railway post of fice clerks) would mean that mail would have to go to the terminals in bigger quantities and be sorted and delayed. Stewart stated that the Omaha mail terminal dispatched on train 13 a daily average of 1,702 sacks, pouches and outside pieces of mail as of October 1, 1952. This figure had diminished to 1,032 as of October 1, 1954, and, as a result, the revenue from the postoffice department had been sharply reduced. “The government is the big gest customer for these trains and it is apparent this diversion of mail to trucks is hurting these two trains,” Stewart added. He stressed, however, it is a “na tional condition.” Douglas Borman, Gordon auto dealer, spoke in behalf of the western group. He pledged “all help possible” from the West ern Nebraska United Chambers _____ of Commerce to keep the trains. Borman reduced the operation al deficit to terms of $83.33 per day or 11.3 cents per mile. He used local actors (in appropriate garb) to illustrate that two pas sengers per day from Chadron to Omaha, two cans of butter fat and 50 pounds or more of express would make up the op erational losses. The Borman stage produc tion included a “conductor” be ing especially solicitous and helpful to the two “passengers" and giving the “farmer” a lift with his two cans of cream. The act rocked the house and Goodwin and his aides laugh ed heartily. James Connor of Lakeville, Minn., said 1,200 patrons of his creamery firm resided along the C&NW route and used the rails. He urged the public to “take in ventory of what the railroad has done and what its services mean.” Mr. Hamilton, assistant Ne braska attorney-general, repre senting the state railway com mission, said his board would not enter into the matter until a petition for discontinuance had been filed. He said he was “gen uinely impressed” that everyone in the big room was interested in keeping the two trains. He indi cated a hearing, if one is to be held, would be set for a point in the area. Hamilton pointed out that in I yesteryear railroads had a mon opoly. Supreme courts have held that railroads no longer are a monopoly, in view of truck, air and private car competition, and railroads are having success in discontinuing trains whose op erations are in the red. Three rail union representa tives, concerned about 48 crew men whose jobs are in the bal ance, indicated, unofficially, they would be “willing to go along” with what the people wanted. Resolutions from the regional Nebraska Stock Growers’ asso ciation meeting held last week at Ogallala were read by Gene Kemper, editor of the Alliance Times-Herald. The stockmen re solved the discontinuance pro posal should be discouraged. Ben Vidricksen, manager of the Harding plant at O’Neill, said his firm spent 100-thousand dollars annually with the C&NW and with a new plant located on North Western trackage he was “keenly interested” in the fate of these two trains. Vidricksen speculated that the transporta tion costs “would double” for his firm if other transportation was substituted. After agreeing to the eight month test with new coaches (featuring reclining seats), Mr. Goodwin said this would be “a trial to see if you people really want passenger service.” He said his company would watch its profit or loss from the date these coaches are rolling and “after eight months we will make our decision.” Mr. Goodwin cited increased labor costs as a reason for not keeping stations open along the line at all times. He also said costs are too high to provide din ing car service. The C&NW provided daily Pullman service on the road un til about 18 months ago when Pullmans were cutback to ser vice on alternate days. “Even now the one Pullman is costing about 25-thousand-dollars per year for us to operate and carries only an average of four passengers per trip.” Someone from the audience asked Goodwin if withdrawal of the two passenger trains might result in loss of some freight bus iness. Goodwin countered: “You don’t insist that the truck lines pro vide passenger and express ser vice.” Several of the delegates had ample opportunity to discuss with Goodwin the future of the two trains in question and other problems enroute to Valentine. Stewart told an informal assem bly of the “eastern” delegates at noon that these talks aboard thq train had been “very encourag ing.” Mr. Goodwin was sufficiently , impressed with the Valentine meeting he had his special car turned around and returned through O’Neill that night on train 14. Originally he had plan ned to inspect some of the C&NW property in the Black Hills area. One purpose for the turn around was to go to Union station, Omaha, and make pre liminary arrangements for the through car service from Chad ron-to-Chicago when the new coaches are put into use.

Biglin, Wil liam Bowker, E. M. Gallagher, Clear Golden, Ed Wilson, Robert Krotter, James W. Rooney, Cal Stewart. From Stuart: Norris W. Coats, Lawrence Hamik. From Atkinson: A. G. Miller, Charles E.
