Five new Pullman palace sleeping cars
have been ordered for the Northern Pa

most elegant sleepers on the road, costing
about 5000 each. They will probably
be completed by September. They will
contain hot and cold water fixtures. All
the pipes will be coated 30 as 10 prevent
freezing. This Is precaution which ex-
perience has taught is necessary for cars
passing through the northern states, as
the trains come in with every
pipe full Of ice instead Of water. The
Pullman Car company now has sixty
three sleepers in use on the Northern
Pacific.

The demand for coal, incident to the
balmy winter and the cancelling Of the

left Roslyn during February and many
more will leave this month. The out
look for the coming summer is very
gloomy in that quarter.

The Sunnyside country, which, It is
believed, will develop into the main fruit

her garb Of green.
