= 2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 I= OPEN NILES LINE SATURDAY Fare Rate to be Same as For Evanston Regular service on the new Niles Center division of the Chicago Rapid Transit company will be opened this Saturday afternoon, according to an announcement made by officials of the company. Special trains of officials of the various towns served, business men's organizations and officials of the com- panies, will be operated from Howard street station of the Northwestern elevated to Dempster street terminal where special inauguration ceremonies will be held. The first special will leave Howard street at 2 o'clock. Upon arrival of the special trains at Dempster street, arrangements are be- ing made for talks by Mayor Harry Pearsons of Evanston, Mayor John Brown of Niles Center and Bernard J. Fallon, vice-presirent of the Chi- cago Rapid Transit company. Seven Cent Fare Service over the Niles Center di- vision will be operated at frequent in- tervals between Howard and Demp- ster streets and the fare will be the same as the present Evanston fare. The new railroad was built at a cost of more than $3,000,000 by the Chica- go, North Shore and Milwaukee rail- road, and is owned by that company, the "L"' trains being operated over the line under a trackage agreement. The road runs from Howard street on a line a quarter of a mile north of that street west to Cicero avenue, thence north to Niles Center, a total distance of five miles. It consists of every type of modern railroad con- struction, subways, elevated and sur- face tracks. Have Eight Stations There are eight stations on the new line, Ridge, Asbury and Dodge ave- nues in Evanston and Crawford and Kostner avenues, Oakton, Main and Dempster street in Niles Center. Two of these are above the tracks, one below, and the balance on the sur- face. The stations are of the most modern type of steel and brick con- struction with tile roofs and terra cotta trimming. Overhead trolley construction on the west end of the new railr presents an advance wit steal ridge- work supports and catenary suspen- sion of the trolley wire, providing for greater safety and high speed opera- tion. Within its five mile length the Niles Center division passes over two rail- roads, under another, and over the new McCormick highway and over the drainage canal. Approximately ten months elapsed from the time of the official beginning of work and its com- pletion.

At 4 o'clock, three Red Cross trains left St. Louis, with doctors, nurses, trained workers and supplies. In charge was Henry M. Baker, Red Cross national director of disaster re- lief, experienced in 87 floods, tornadoes and tidal waves. At 8 o'clock the 22 cars were side- tracked at Murphysboro and as doctors and nurses started to relieve the suf- fering, centeen workers began hand- ing out hot coffee and food. Thomas M. Temple, executive sec- retary of the Chicago Chapter, awaited orders from the St. Louis Red Cross. He waited in confidence knowing that Red Cross trained nurses and workers were on call and tin-lined boxes of equipment were packed for shipment. At noon, March 19, came telegrams "Do not send personnel nor supplies." At 1 a. m. March 20, Henry M. Baker had visited every Illinois town and village in the disaster zone and had the relief organizations set up.
