sideration. Sergeant Hemphill as
we'll as every man in the detach-
ment deserves great credit for the
manner in which they performed

Sixty-hve miles in sixty minutes Is the
record for speed made yesterday by the
Great Northern overland on the level
stretch of track from Skykomish 10 In
dex. The train was half hour behind
time. and on reaching a favorable por-
ton of the road was let out at full speed
and fairly flew along over the rails. reach
ing this city per schedule. II was per-
haps the fastest time ever made in this
state. not excepting the flyers or Mr..
Bum and the Northern Pacific receivers
The train was drawn by powerful lle-
ton locomotive.
You may talk about the swift trains OF
the New York Central" said F. j. W nit
ney. general passenger and ticket agent
OF the Great Northern. who was passen-
ger. but we are doing some pretty fast
travelling ourselves. The road is in prime
condition. and admits Of fast runs; and

The movement in wheat has fairly
eclipsed the passenger business" contin-
ued Mr.. Whitney. This year we VIII
move from Montana and the Dakotas the
largest crop ever handled by our road, ex-
ceeding that OF previous years by several
million bushels. / suppose the total will
be at least 100000 bushels. all of it 10 be
delivered by the Great Northern to its
connections. l am safe in saying that the
Great Northern handles more original
wheat in season than any other line IN
the world. Other roads may transport
more. but ours takes the greatest guam
tity directly from the fields"
Mr. Whitney is greatly pleased with the
prospects OF the Great Northern, and
automatically confined his remarks to
what it was doing. He declined to talk
for publication of the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Whitney, whose headquarters are
