MILE A MINUTE TRAIN
FROM 0DCEN TO THE CITY

One mile a minute for distance of
more than eight hundred miles is the new
record the Southern Pacific Company IN
tends to establish for its fast mail service
between Ogden and San Francisco From
reliable source it is learned the new
schedule will go into effect early next
month. Yesterday the announcement
was made and if the change is carried
into effect it will give the Southern Pa
cific Railroad the reputation of running
the fastest train in the world.
This action is caused by the fact that
the Santa Fe Railroad. with it's present
mail schedule across the continent, Is
beating the Southern Pacific by at least
two hours. The Hartman road Is run
ming it's trains to the speed limit as FAR
as Ogden and from there to San Fra.;isco
the speed of the mail trains already is
so great that many railroad men do rot
care to run on it. 1t is a big undertak-
ing to establish a sixty-mile an hour
schedule. but competition compels the
company to do so.
