Few people know that trainloads of

But he is a good food fish, for all Of

Mandan, n. b.. April 1.-THE off,
Gals of the Yellowstone divisions of
the Northern Pacific railroad have
been unusually busy the past week,
employing freight brakemen. The
freight traffic has Increased so extern
sively the past month that the crews
employed were unable to handle it and
get the large amount of tonnage over
the road to its respective destinations
on schedule time.
The setting UP of crews has taken
a large number Of men who were
braking, which naturally leaves them
short of men in this capacity. Men
are being started to work every day
and it is rumored there is still a de-
mand for men out west. The local
agent here has received word to put
on more warehousemen as soon as
possible.
The company has supplied the first
district of the Yellowstone division
with several new engines. These en-
gines are in the 100 series and are
the largest which nave ever been seen
on this part of the road. They weigh
about thirty tons more than the aver
age engine and will houl about 400
tons nor than those now in use. They
are equipped with all the late inn
provements in the art of engine build
ing. The electric headlights are rep
resented to be exceedingly strong.
