Palmer outlines June 14 train excursion plans for 125 merchants plus guests to Decorah, with decorated cars, parades, a band, and future yearly trips to connect Cedar Rapids with towns along the line.

White wings and ambitious workers on the railroad
Neighbor Frank Etter and his son John Gruver, along with Foreman Grover, strive to collect road orders tossed from trains as roadmasters ride the rails. A tired foreman jokes he will not chase orders across the division, while the two ambitious men rush to fetch a so called white wing slip, only to learn it was a misread note from the train. The incident leads others to focus on their own duties as Linehan and Grover supervise.
