Slow Train to Friend Oregon Citizens Fail to Get Xmas Mail
In Friend Oregon since December 20 no trains run and Christmas mail remains undelivered. Citizens appeal to the Public Service Commission to force the Great Southern railroad to restore daily service or abandon bus. Only four trains have arrived since December 6 while schedules promise daily service. The petition argues the old stage coach would be more dependable and acceptable. The railroad runs from The Dalles to Friend in Wasco County.
