The Northern Pacific VIII start Double
Train Service Between st.
Paul and seattle.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston. Dec. 3.-The Northern
Pacific will inaugurate a double train
service between st. Paul and Seattle on
the lst Of February next. The edict has
gone forth from headquarters at st.
Paul to have all the passenger equip
ment in readiness and all necessary
preparations made for putting on the
increased service at that date. This
statement is made upon information
from official sources-information that
may be accepted without question.
The increased service is imperatiyely
demanded by the unprecedently heavy

season of the year did the Northern

doing day after day for several weeks

is not 50 very much difference in the

years, or longer. The unusually good

realized have set in motion the tide of

west to east
1t has not been learned whether the
double service is to consist of two daily
through trains each way or whether
the regular train will be run in two
sections; probably the officials have not
yet themselves determined which of the
two plans to adopt. At the time the
service is inaugurated if the travel
eastward is not too large, it would be
more economical for the road TO run
the trains in two sections, for on the
easy grades they could be consolidated
and one locomotive and one crew made
TO do the duty for both sections. The
travel westward will be 50 large, how
ever. that no consolidation will be
practicable in the passenger business
to the coast and il there shall be any
material increase in the present volume
of eastern travel. the result will be two
through trains daily both ways.
