That is the conviction expressed last week in Detroit by W. A. Blees, vice presi- dent in charge df sales for the Oak- land Motor Car company, upvn his return from the Pacific Coast where he conducted the last of a seties of Oakland- Pontiac dealer meetings which took him during the las: three months to nearly every important city in the United States. During his 15,000-mile tour of the nation, he was convinced by contacts with business men, bankers, automo- bile dealers and economists that con- ditions were showing steadily increas- ing promise of betterment, “Doubtless the progress of business will be slow and it will be accompa- nied by normal seasopable varia- tions,” he said, “but the fact remains that all major factors point definitely upward. “Among these factors is the vital one of employment. More and more workers are being recalled to their former jobs or to other jobs created by the building activities, the con- struction projects and the railroad improvements which have been in- spired by low costs of materials and commodities.” 60 TEAMS ENTERED IN DAKOTA RELAYS Close Contests Promised in All Classes; 19 Schools in Relay Event Sioux Falls, 8.

E, Fulton, Jamestown, is the CHANGE IS. PLANNED | ON NORTHERN BRANCH N. P. Railroad Proposed Mixed Train to Run From Turtle Lake to Carrington McClusky, N. D., April 29.—Officials of the Northern Pacific railroat have decided to run a mixed train on the Carrington-Turtle Lake branch, prob- ably next week, although no official announcement of the change has been made to date. The railroad has encountered difficulty in the form of Petitions signed by business men in towns, particularly on this end of the road, which protest the change as planned. A mixed train that would start from Turtle Lake early in the morn- ing, and reach here at about 8 o'clock, and a similar train leaving Carring- ton and scheduled to arrive here at about the same time present westbound passenger stoyjp at Mc- Clusky, was the first measure con- sidered. ‘This plan met with disapproval in towns on this end of the branch. One hundred signers were secured here for the petition protesting the proposed change. Representatives of the railroad in- terviewed business men and patrons of the road in regard to the change and as a result of these interviews are now attempting to determine a train schedule that will meet with the approval of the towns affected. The first train schedule considered by the railroad would afford poor mail service at this end of the line, it is believed. Those who orotest against this change say that a mixed train due to arrive here at about 5 or 5:30 p. m. would seldom if ever be on time because of the large amcunt of work to be done between Carrington and this station. Also, the train would leave too early in the morning to permit answering mail that had arrived the night before. The post- office department rules that the local office close at 6:30 p. m. Should a change be made a train schedule that will afford good mail service is desired here.
