One peculiar thing about the
Great Northern train that comprised
the Governors special that toured
the eastern states the fore part Of
last month was that it could not go
through the tunnels on some lines
because the cars were too high, al
though they were standard Great
Northern cars. This leads one to
believe that the cars, as well as
the opportunities of the Great North
ern are bigger and better than they
are back east.

NO. 4 WILL BE FAST TRAIN.

The story is going the rounds
among railroad men that in short
time there will be a new time card
out which will make a big change in
the time of No. 4. None of the 9TH
er trains will be effected. 1t is the
intention of the Great Northern to
make No. 4 as fast q train as No.
2, and it will be run clear through
to Chicago. The time Of No. 4 will
be cut IL hours in it's run between
Seattle and St. Paul. This can cas-
lily be done, it is said. because the
schedule of No. is very slow COM
pared with other trains.
