More Than Mile Minute for Long
Distance-Fastest on Record.

Davenport. April 15.-The fastest

pot and made the run TO Chicago IN
two hours and fifty five minutes
The start was made at about $3.50 in
the afternoon and the special train
landed the two officials in Chicago az
S: % last night. The Golden State lim-
tied was nine hours behind time and
it was necessary for the two officials
to get to Chicago in time to make con-
nections for the east. where they viii.
attend a meeting. The only way In
which 1t would be possible for them
to get there in time was by the spec
cial. So when the Golden State limited

sleeping car. was waiting for them.
They hurried across the platform ana
on to the waiting train. which pulled
out Immediately for it's 1S3-mile run in
It's minutes Something Of the fast
ness OF the train can be gathered from
the fact that the Golden State limited.
the fastest train on the road. takes
four hours for the trip to Chicago. Tho
special pulled out just ahead Of the
limited and arrived in Chicago over
an hour ahead of that train.
This is said to be the fastest time
that has ever been made on that road
for the distance involved. While en-
gines may have made faster runs for
shorter distances, still no run of that
length has been made in that time.
