More FREIGHT
Crews Put on
Northern

Iscrease in freight business which
has been crowding the Northern to
the limit during the last couple of
weeks. resulted in the ordering on of
two new crews yesterday, with the
prospect that as soon as more motive
power is received. which should be
withis short time. further additions
will he made 10 the operating forces.
One of the crews will go on the
mails line, making a new freight run
and givisg the road a freight over the
road daily instead of every other
day, as since last summer. Brake
man Fowler of the Shelter passen-
ger run receives promotion to the
freight run as conductor.
The other crew ordered on yester-
day goes to the concestrator to has
die the unloading of ore trains there.
The crew that has been in service
there goes to the ore line as an ad-
ditional crew Aside from the an
nouncemest that Mr.. Fowler would
take the new main line run, the gen.
eral offices of the railroad were I'M
able last night to give the names of
other men on the new crews. Short
age of help in the operating depart
ment prevails and the assembling of
the crews is no small task. Several
new men are expected in today from
outside points. when the additional
crew will be fully made up.
