N. P. TRAIN SERVICE.
Some Phenomenal Time Being Made
On the Western End Of
the Line. ID.

The Northern Pacific people are do.
ing exceedingly we'll with their new
double daily service. Up to the pres
ent time twelve trains have arrived
at Portland, Ore, nine Of which have
been on time and only one seriously
delayed. During the same period
twelve trains have arrived at st. Paul
OF which nine have been on time and
only three behind time, the greater
delay being n hour. Considering
the fast schedule and the time of the
year which it was in%augurated, that is,
when we are having changeable
weather, and that the distance to Port
land is 2,056 miles, this performance
is exceedingly complimentary to that
road.
Some idea of what the Northern Pa
citic is doing can be- gained by compar-
ing the time of the limited trains of the
roads between Chicago and st. Paul
with the Northern Pacific between Spo-
kane and Tacoma. The latter two points
We're selected because the mileage is
practically the same as the shortest
route between Chicago and st. Paul.
From st. Paul to Chicago is 4O2 miles,
from Tacoma 10 SPOKANE U ,1MlleS.
The time consumed between st. Paul
and Chicago is thirteen hours and ten
minutes, an average Of 30.1 miles an
hour. Between Spokane and Tacoma
the time is twelve hours and forty
minutes, an average of 31.5 miles an
hour. In computing the average rate
of speed per mile no account is taken
of stops. The actual speed Of the
train while running is close to forty
miles an hour. When it Is remem
bered that trains between st. Paul and
Chicago contain about six cars, while
those Of the Northern Pacific overlands
contain from eight to ten cars, and
that no serious typographical difficult
ties are found east of st. Paul, while
on the western run the Cascade noun.
tains must be crossed, the perform
ance of the Northern Pacific is une-
qualed in the Northwest
