tory. He had been asked to sail ITEM
boring" the largest kind of open boat
employed in the Nordland district, to
the Chicago exhibition, and agreed to
do SO, but the plan was given up, as it
met with great opposition from those
who considered the venture, owing to
the danger accompanying it, but little
short Of murder. Broekmo, 1t will be
remembered, then decided on going to
fetch his fishing sloop, which lay in
Green Harbor, Spitzbergen, in small
open boat, to show that a little craft,
well handled, could go anywhere.
The boat was IA feet long by feet
beam and 2M feet deep.
The voyage, on which he was accom-
panied by youth of eighteen years,
John Christensen by name, was accom-
plished In thirteen days. On the return
voyage in the little fishing sloop of ten
| tons, they were driven back by contin-
nous gales and compelled to winter at
| Spitzbergen, at Middlehook, where
there is fine seven-room house, built
| by Nordenskjold in 1871, which, how
ever, was plundered long since OF all Its
| furniture and stores. The two men

thirty-five miles from their abode, but
bears were chance visitors to their
quarters One Of Broekmo's last adven-
lures with bruin occurred in June last,
and though wounded in the head by
the bears claws, he killed 1t single
handed with his knife. The reindeers
are particularly fat, and their coat is at
its best in January. They are then ex-
ceptionally wary, and In order to shoot
them Broekmo had to conceal himself
behind rock, while Christensen
worked round and drove the deer down
to him.
From the time the sun disappears in
the autumn, until its temperance in
the spring, life on Spitzbergen or it's
shores is only represented by the deers
and bears. Fish disappear from its
waters, and the walrus seek other parts,
while the seals lie under the ice in lit
tie chambers, which receive air
through a small hole leading to
the surface, kept open by the
breathing of the animal. Bruin,
during the winter, lives solely on his
own fat, as he cannot obtain q morsel
of food, either ON the frozen sea or
snow-clad land, the reindeer being too
wary and feet of foot to allow of his
stealing march on them.

the time as under the new schedule,
the Burlington, Rock Island and Mil
waukee lines at once set about arrang-
ing their time cards to admit of pas
senger travel out of Chicago making
close connection at Omaha with the
new limited train, No. 1, for the west.
and the three roads so doing make good
feeders for the Union Pacific out of
there. The lines from the Atlantic
seaboard have also changed their time
to correspond with that of the before
mentioned roads westward from Chi
cago, showing that the change was one
to command recognition from coast to
coast.
In order to better handle the business
the Milwaukee road has just placed an
order with the Baldwin works for two
big passenger engines for immediate
delivery, in order to meet the require
ments of future speed between Chicago
and Omaha, as the time is not far dis
tant when another cut in time will be
made in that district. The track and
motive power will stand a further re-
ductien of two hours time easily be-
tween those cities, and it's coming.

Omaha Union Depot Site.

While in Omaha recently The Her
aid man made endeavor to size up the
actual situation on union depot mat
tiers, and to that end looked over the
ground in person as we'll as met and
talked with people prominent on one
side or other of the controversy.
Boiled down to a minimum. there is
one fact apparent to all, i. e., the site
on Ninth and Farnham streets is the
logical sequence of Omaha's growth,
and not of the Vaccinations Of men
or the different roads interested in the
union depot matter. Fifteen years ago
the building of a union depot station
on the site of the long, low shed an
Swering such purposes, would not have
aroused opposition, as the Omaha OF
then is not the Omaha of today-who
could then have turned the pages of
futurity and with prophetic eye looked
upon what now constitutes that great
and thriving city? In the interim, the
march of progress has more than kept
pace with the cycles of time In all con-
corning the growth of the city, and
to advance the claims that the pro-
posed great union depot should be built
on a site contiguous as may be to the
business and commercial center, is
simply acknowledging the laws of COM
mercial supremacy and the voice of the
people.
True, many thousands Of dollars have
been expended already upon a, passen-
ger building down in the hole, work
on that having ceased only a couple
of years ago, but the expenditure Of
such sum is in no way proof against
latter day methods and arguments for
the uptown site.
1t is also true that property owners
adjacent to the Glow lands of the old
and primitive site are strongly adverse
to the change, but such sentiment is
selfish and based on the probable fuc-
tuation of property values-it's so the
world over,
Another feature is the hostility
shown by the street railway companies

passengers, and are prone to view
things solely through dividend glasses

A fair and impartial summary of the
case is found in saying that Omaha as
a whole demands one grand union de-
pot, and it should be erected at the
foot of F'arnham street All the diff
ferent interests should come together

completion. Greater Omaha will benz

Limited has been making pretty fair
time, Notwithstanding the high winds
and bad weather that have been en-
countered on the Wyoming division
during the past ten days. The train
has made Ogden on time each day
since its inauguration and the officials
of the passenger operating depart
ments are naturally highly pleased
with the results. The officials are not
so happy over the records made by the
new fast mail. That train, which for
merly had the fastest schedule on the
road. has been increased in equipment
until it is now the heaviest fast long
distance train in the country 1t usu-
ally has twelve 70 fourteen cars and
never less than eleven, and has been
given a lot Of local work to do that
was formerly done by another train.
StlD, the officials have figured out that
the old schedule should be made and
they propose to have it done The
train has had a. lot of trouble lately
and has been laid out a number of
times. During the wind storm on Sun
day night heavy freight train was
stalled by the wind in coming down
the steepest hill on the run in Wyo-
ming. Usually the trains have to come
down the Peru hill with all brakes set,
but in this instance the wind was so
severe that the train, with brakes off
and full head of steam on, was I'M
able to run down the hill. Train men
cite this as an evidence of the folly of
trying to keep up schedule time with
the new fast mail under it's new
equipment. The officials say that the
train is billed to make the time it is
on the card and must be done if the
crews have to be changed every run
until men are found who can get the
work out of the machines that is in
them, and there is enough in them to
yank the fast mail along on schedul,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-The
railway and steamship rivalry for
Oregon business took on a new phase
today when the Southern Pacific COM
pany announced that on December 1
a cut rate on freight would go into
effect that would mean reduction of
almost rs per cent on all classes of
business. The freight heretofore has
been only for passenger business. The
reduction is a through rate only to
Oregon points and the local rates to
and from California points remain as
they are now. The announcement Of
the new tariff carries this note:
''These rates are not regarded as
fair compensation of ocean lines"
Railroad men believe that the reduc-
lions are not yet concluded. Already
there is talk of a cut in rates to Cali
fornia points. Once that step is taken
the Santa Fe will be able to take q
hand in the fight.
