THE FOUR O'CLOCK TRAIN.
The (Railway Department has decided that the small amount of traffic , does, not warrant the continuance of the four o'clock afternoon train from Masterton to .tne north. The Department presumably knows its, own business, and iit is unreasonable te ask it to rum train's at ai loss. It ihas ibeen 'suggested that the experiment should have been made in the summer, instead of the winter months'. Against this it must be treiaeniibered that if the train is wanted at all, it is wanted in the winter, when the days are short. An hour or two in the summer months is neither here nor there. It is absurd J to blame the Department if it with* I draws a service which is unprofitable, I much as the convenience of a few { may have to suffer.
