Northern Pacific Considering This Means of Handling Traffic Over the Cascades. Portland, Feb. 13. The Northern Pacific Railroad Is contemplating tho building of a double track over the mountain division east of Tacoma. For tho past year thoy havo been kopt nt their wits' ends to handle the traf fic and keep the freight from congest ing. The difficulty is nt the Cascade tunnel on the BUinmlt of tho divide Heavy grades lead up to It on both sides, and "two or nioro locomotives must be attached to a train to get over the grades. The movement of the trains Is necessarily slow and as hut cno enn go through the tunnel nt n time the delays are long. Up to this time nil the trains that It Is possible to use have been handled, nnd barely succeeded In keoplng the freight moving. With the business of tho coming season which Is expected to bo far greater than thnt of last, a double track will have to bo built to prevent n blockade. Another scheme whereby the problem could be solved and which may be resorted to, Is to have all the trains run one way one day and tho other way the next. NEW MILL PROGRESSING.
