TRAINS HELD BACK
BY HEAVY TRAVEL
Nearly All Passenger Ser
vice Running Late; Ex-
press Is Heavy

Virtually all passenger trains on
the main line of the Seaboard Air
Line railroad have been running late
for the past several days under pres
sure of what appears to be the great
est volume of business in years. One
explanation, naturally, was that it is
the holiday season, but other holiday
seasons in recent years have not at
tracted such throngs as are now rid
ing on the trains.
For whatever may be the cause,
there appears to be a preference for
the trains as a means of transporta-
ton at this juncture. AS early as last
week there was comment on the great
ly increased volume of passenger traf-
fic, so much so that additional coaches
have been provided by the Seaboard
to accommodate patrons.
Even the fast through trains are
behind in their schedules, some pass
ing here a natter of hours late. An
increase in express shipments has
been noted also. g
All of this in year when it is said
business is not as brisk as it has been
in recent years.

checks Santa himself by instructing

Largely because Of Christmas cele-

other month, the Red Cross warned.
Even ST. Nicholas may constitute
fire hazard, and should play safe by
dipping his sometimes highly inflam-
mable whiskers in a solution of four
ounces of amOnia phosphate to one
quart water.
Further pointing out that safety
and sentiment mix, the Red Cross
turns the spotlight on other ancient
Yule customs. BURN a candle in the
window for carolers, by all means, but
be sure that a fire extinguisher and
an unobstructed exit are handy" was

Letters To
The Editor

Seattle, Washington
April 20, 1888

n pill a. 1900
Sports Editor,
The Enterprise,
Seattle, Washington
Dear Sir:
The two-hundred mile Cross
Country Marathon Race against
time from Seattle to Portland will
start on June 2, 1888, at a. M
from Sixth and Pine ST. The race
will be run over Highway us. 90
and in four controls; taking one
day for each control. Seattle to
Olympia, overnight stop, Olympia
to Centralia to Kelso to Portland.
The idea of this race is to try
and bring Cross-Country running
back to the Northwest, as many
of the old-timers will never forget
the ten-mile Marathon Races that
We're put on by the Seattle Post
Intelligeneer. Then again, want
to prove that a man never gets too
old to be a cross-country runner.
can run just as long as l always
could and as long as a man keeps
in shape, he doesn't need to worry
about Old Father Time. So it is
about time somebody did some
thing around here about il, as /
believe that there are plenty of
fellows in this neck of the woods
that can still step If given the
chance. AS for me, am not say
ing that l can beat the boys of to-
day but do say that if anybody
wants to run and to prove that he
is no cream-puff, now Is his chance
as 1 am running to Portland on
June 2, if have to run alone.
The race could be broadcast ev-
cry night as to the time and who
is ahead and so on. We expect to
have a loud speaker along during
the race. We expect to have
newsreels of the race that will help
put it over.
SO you see, the plan and the
idea is to get twenty or more
firms or companies to go in for
the advertising which will cost the
small fee of $1,000 in addition to
whatever materials they desire to
furnish. They could go so far and
have programs printed of about
ten pages with details of the race
and overnight stops and space for
the advertising. These would be
distributed free all along the route
So shoot the works, you can fix
the story as you see fit.
But to show the old gang that I
mean business, I will run a 30
mile race against time on Memoir
ial Day, May 80, 1888, as warm
ing up tryout for the big race on
June 2, open to all corners, start
ing at 8 o'clock. 1 set a record
around the Lake in 1928, July a.
My time was 6 hours % minutes
% seconds-that was ten years
ago. Well, let's see what Old Fa-
ther Time has done in ten years.
So will leave from the same place
l did ten years ago, Sixth and
Pine, at 10 a. M, so keep that OPP
en- for me. Don't worry, 1 win be
there. See what you can do to
pep the boys up because as long as
I can raise foot up, don't mean
to let Marathon Racing pass out
of the picture if I can help it.
AS all the other papers are 60
ing to have this story in the Sun
day paper on May 8, will appre-
ciate it if you will publish your
story on this date.
I remain yours truly,
