A FAST MAIL TRAIN | “And the train was an hour late.” How often a-remark like this is heard in Seattle, in con-| nection with the newly arrived traveler | Often enough it refers to some unfortunate who took | chances on the Great Northern railway is wrecked in the Cascades. The number of accidents which the Great Northern man ages to pile up during the course of a year is almost without & parallel anywhere else in the country, To most people it is known as the “Hoodoo Line” or the “Suicide Route.” Ip] will either take you through to St. Paul, or it will ditch you} and guarantee a good job | But the Great Northern is about to reform, Competition with the Milwaukee is in sight and a big fat government mail contract hangs in the balance. The Great Northern is afraid of losing this source of much income and is now bestirring | itself mightily. Hundreds of men line the tracks of the G. N., properly | sloping dangerous “cuts” which were never sloped before, | taking out rotten ties which should have been taken out long ago, and straightening crooked pieces of up and down track that should never have been crooked at all. Ballasting is} going on at a great pace and every effort is being made to} 80 improve the roadbed as to make it safe for a FAST MAIL| TRAIN to traverse it by the first of next January | It isn't the desire to keep the passengers out of the ditch! that is inspiring such mighty efforts just at present, for the road's officials know that Great Northern passengers expect} to go into the ditch, but it is the fright over the mail contract That must not be lost at any cost. The Milwaukee will Quite frequently, when the “train isn’t an hour late” 7 | | i have a shorter and more level route and can run its trains, at great speed. Uncle Sam wants that speed with his west ern mails. To make a long story short, every conductor and brake-} man on the Great Northern knows that the road is going to put off afast mail, which is going to try the unheard-of feat of covering the distance between St. Paul and Seattle in about one day's less time than present schedules provide. It would be impossible for a real “flyer” to keep the old track of the Great Northern for five miles, hence a remodeled and strength ened roadway is being built. Tt is an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody good, and in this case competition is forcing the G. N. to do something | which will really be of benefit to the people who are com-| pelled to tise the line; by making it safer to travel over. And} again, the mails will come through in much less time, if the G. N. manages to hold onto its contract The editor of The Star has been in three wrecks on the Great Northern,—one collision and two derailments,—and he speaks with proper feeling upon t subject. Having been obliged to use the line again a few days ago, in order to reach a certain good fishing stream, the trip progressed without | accident for 30 miles until the engine finally dropped its grate bars on the track and “went dead.” All of which goes to show that neither the track nor the | equipment of the Great Northern is properly kept up A good deal might be said about cheap meals at extor- tionate prices which the Great Northern places before its few | passengers in its dining cars—but that has nothing to do with the mail contract which is imperiled by the threatened com petition with the Milwaukee. May the gods bless the Milwaukee!
