While In the East Manages HenninRsen
consulted Trafnc Manager J. ~. Hanna
ford. OF the Northern Pacific. II ct. Paul,
with the purpose Of securing. II possible,
the requisite reduction In freight charxes.
Nj. Hannaford did not view the matter IN
favorable light. and no ofIsr Of . rsduc-
ton has stnce been received from him.
The shortest route between the Sound
and Kansas City u over the Northern Pa
burlington to the destination. Over this
route the product Of the factory would be
hauled 80 miles BY the Northern Pacific
and l.sO By the Burlington. Manager Hen
ningsen mas told by General Freight Agent
Crosby. OF the Chicago. Burlington d
Quincy, that his road would willingly grant
the reduction from Billings. Receiver Bur-
leigh, who has sole control Of the Northern
Pacific line A. far east ~ the eastern
SSaAsAe4y Va AouiAu8s u88 Oeeu 88keQ 10
grant the reduction from the Sound to
BillngA and Manager Henningsen be-
lisves hs viii receive favorable reply.
An argument In favor OF the reduction
ID found In the fact that the company hauls
all OF the raw material It consumes over
the tracks Of the Northern Pacific. With
the increased output. dependent on secur.
ing the Eastern orders. the amount Of logs
and raw materials consumed and carried
over the local lines Of the road would be
multiplied ten times.
One reason for locating the new factory
In Seattle II the fact that where the COM
pany sells one dollars worth Of goods
here 1t disposes Of twenty dollars worth
IN Seattle. Schwabacher Bros. Webb 4
Co., and half dozen other large firms are
heavy buyers on the company.
The factory has been shut down the past
week for repairs to the machinery. Next
week four car loads Of woodenware will be
shipped East. Of which two 60 to Kansas
City. one to Omaha and one to Chicago.
