County Commisioner William Len- non and William Skrief of that city are doing their utmost to secure regular train service for the village of Kelliher ond other stations on the Funkley-Keliher line. “The matter was first taken up ith W. H. Gemmel of the M. & 1.” aid Mr- Lennon, “but we did not seem to get anywhere, so we are faking the mater up with the rail- road and warehouse commission. “There are from 3000 to 3500 people effected in our district and we feel that we have waited long énough The last passenger train that pulled into Kelliher was on July 24th and since that time we nave had but one freight train a week, This was run in- to- the yards on Saturday night, freight cars side tracked and -the train pulled right out again. Lately we have been getting two trains' a week. 2 S “We have been quite patient and were willing to wait some, owing to the strike and the coal shortage, but we can’t stand for what might come and that is abandoning the train service altogether, which was infer- red by officials.” The village of Kelliher is one of the hustling, growing cities of" this county and while the lumber business was going at full blast it was ncces- sary to run daily freights and daily passenger trains into that city. The Kelliher busines men have invited the business men of Bemidji and other neighboring towns to at itend the hearing Thursday evening. They state they want only a fair. deal and desire that this city know all the facts regarding the service in tHat community. < County Attorney Graham M. Tor- rance has been engaged to represent the citizens of Kelliher at the hear- ing and will leave no stone unturnéd in order to convince members . of the commission that Kelliher should have daily passenger service.
