Until the last few years the warrant

Great Northern train was delayed near
Leavenworth WASH, by a landslide. In
the delayed train was some important
mail. A special train was made up of an
engine, mail car and caboose. The mail
was transferred and the train started
east. Leavenworth is several hundred
miles west of Spokane.
In the meantime, finding that the east
bound train would not reach Spokane, an
other train had started on toward St.
Paul In order to fill the vacancy. So it
became a stern chase. The special east
from Spokane had a start of 2l0 miles.
The trip of the pursuer to Spokane, 205
miles, was made in hours and 30 min
utes. The best time was made between
Wilson and Spokane, 105 miles. in 1 hour

with the pursued at Blackfoot, Mont.
having made up seven hours of delayed
time.
1t was the fastest long-distance run
made by Western road, the distance be-

submitted to the membership at the
first meeting. One Of these is to make
Saturday ladies' day. The hours in
which ladies will have the privileges Of

Dec. 1. This will be the formal inau-
