man was the first witness in the in
surance investigation. Hughes JIM
mediately plunged into the Ryan mt
gotiations Hartman said Ryan told
him he had made enough money and
now wanted to do something for the
general public and make name for
himself. The witness said he doubted
Ryan's unselflsh motives and told him
50.
He said Ryan asked his aid in selec-
ton of chairman for the board. Nor
ton was decided upon as good man
Hartman said he received notice
that Morton was elected without his
having been notified. The election
was while the witness was waiting In
his office to hear from Ryan. The
first he heard was that Ryan had pur-
chased all the stock. elected Morton
and sent word that Hartman had
been forced out. Hartman was in
censed and said he promised to caD
at Ryan's office and meet Root.
He admitted he threatened to use
his influence against Ryan, but denied

but because he was convinced Ryan's
motives were impure.

If the Northern Pacific, with the
present big movement Of traffic, were
compelled to handle the central
Washington business over its own line
freight blockade would result at
the tunnel that could not be handled
in months.
AS II is the crews on the mountain

engines a rest and are being worked
until compelled to leave for rest,
when another crew is Immediately
put aboard and started out. The rush
OF freight over the mountains is one
of the heaviest the road has ever
known and handled without block
ade. The helper crews are used be-
tween Lester and Easton.
The severe tax made upon the
road at the tunnel and all along the
Pacific division shows the stress un-
der which the road Is laboring by the
development OF coast traffic and the
necessity that compelled the building
OF the line down the north bank Of
the Columbia river.
With the ordinary growth OF traf-
fic of the next two years the North
ern Pacific wanld not be able to
handle the traffic over the mountains
with a single track line. At present
all the Portland freight, including
wheat shipments, is handled through
the tunnel and via Tacoma. The
only other method OF handling that
traffic would be to deliver II to the
