A RIDE ON THE
FAST MAIL
OVER THE C, M. & ST. PAUL.
Reporter Takes a Ride In the Cab
Between Chicago, St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
It is significant that the one
train which makes the Chicago-St.
Paul run in ten Louts, carries no
passengers.
l o nue on it is a pnvuetre ac
quired by lewt Yet a journey on
this train, which carries none but
government clerks and its crew, is
an experience, especially if the
journey be made on the "fireman's
side" of the huge locomotive which
pulls it. It is a revelation ot what
fast passenger service means and
liberal education in appreciation of
the cool nerve and absolute com
petency of the men who run fast
trains.
The fast mail over .the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
leaves Chicago every night of the
year with from twenty to fifty tons
of mail aboard and reaches St,
Paul every morning with its bur
den of letters and packages in time
for transfer to other trains to the
Pacific coast to connect with the
mail boats, north into the Domin
ion, east and west into adjacent
states and radiating over a dozen
lines ot railway into every nook and
cranny of the Northwest.
If one asks why the fast mail car
ries no passengers he is answered
that there are other trains which
do that work. Another reason is
apparent after a journey on the
"head end" with the two cinder
marked and grease-smudged gods
of the machine that pulls it.
Ten-hour service means speed.
On a glorious night not long ago
the fast mail pulled out of Milwau
kee on time, swinging along at an
easy gait through the maze of green,
white and red switchlights until the
last tall semaphore arm signaled
all clear," then Engineer Sulli
van's long right arm shot forward
through the dark suddenly, the
hoarse cyncopation of the exhaust
changed instantly to a long wailing
roar and the tremendous locomo
tive seemed to limlx-r up in every
joint as she swung forward into the
the night.
''He trun her in compound," the
fireman, Woodland, explained. His
father in his early life had appren
ticed hira to a jeweler. He had a
back like an ox and an arm like an
oak tree.
Mile posts began to fade in regu
ar succession and telegraph poles
flew by so fast it was hardly pos
sible to count. The track ahead
took on an uncanny grayish haze,
but the speed constantly increased.
The big locomotive slowed down
for nothing. She took sharp curves
ike a race bore and lunged into
the long tangents like a singed cat.
engineer Sullivan didn't talk much.
He was pretty busy watching the
track. When he did talk it was to
the point.
"Forty-five miles out of Milwau
kee, including the trip through the
yards and suburbs, where we had
to slow down, in torty-six min
utes," he said.
He dropped to the ground and
oiled up almost on the run. Two
minutes elapsed, the big machine
was ready to go again, but the con
ductor appeared out of the gloom
and remarked that a journal on a
mail car had run hot.
Hot journals are not serious in
themselves, but six minutes clip
tied from the schedule of a train
which must run while in motion at
rate of slightly more than 55
miles an hour tor 408 miles, is a
very important matter. Kngineer
Sullivan swore softly and drowned
his wrath in copious applications of
more oil to the big engine's stuffing
boxes. Then he mounted the tow
ering cab again and the race was
011 for the second time.
Wotnlland grinned.
"We'll run like a pup with a tin
can tied to his tail now," he con-
fided.
We did.
Mile posts and tele-
J graph poles became one long pro
cession, with scarcely perceptible
distances between them. The air
rushed through the open cab win
dows like a cyclone, and the mail
cars, trailing along behind, rocked
ed and swung on their springs like
so many drunken meu. The pace
was tremendous.
One's sensation was much like
those w hen the horses enter the last
eighth on a fast track and 40,000
people in the grand stand begin to
cheer. The speed gradually in
creased from 51 to 58, then to 62,
66, 71, 74 and 76 miles an hour:
then, on the crest of a ''hill," the
summit of an up and down grade,
it suddenly jumped to 84 and then
to 92 miles an hour a mile and i
half a minute, and one felt an in
sane desire to yank the throttle
away out and see if it were not pos
sible to make three miles a minute.
It was a pace that made the gov
ernment officials grin, but it was no
pace for sedate burghers and busi
ness men.
At Rio the pace suddenly fell off.
Engineer Sullivan looked at his
watch.
"On time," he said briefly. The
Fast Mail covered the remaining
ew miles at a handy clip, stopped
for a minute at a crossing and
swttg into Watertown, gvi miles
from Milwaukee, on time to a sec
oud.
Ninety-three miles in a trifle
more than 100 minutes actual run
ning time.
Reeling off the miles at a speed
of practically a mile a minute, En
gineer Sullivan passed the yard
limits at Sparta on time, only to
find the signals out against him,
and train No. 2, which had the
right of way lecause it was a south
bound train, losing time and late.
The heavy mail train pulled into
clear on a siding and twelve min
utes elapsed before the bright, white
headlight of the south bound passen
ger showed around the curve.
Twelve mtuutes lost was a handi
cap, but it ilul not mean much al
ter the other things that happened.
The nig A2 locomotive, with driv
ing wheels seven feet in diameter,
swung out on the main line again,
and after a few strockes of her pis-,
tons sent the speed rate climbing
Eighty-eight miles an hour was
interesting, but not sensational, af
ter having made 92 miles an hour.
The heavy train pulled into North
LaCrosse on time 26 miles in 2$4
minutes.
The regular passenger trains of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St,
Paul railway make speed records
sometimes. Their schedules are
moderate, yet their engine drivers
are in constant danger of minor de
lays and small losses of time, every
minute of which means a faster act
ual running schedule and more
speed in order to cover the remain
ing mileage on time. To handle a
big train requires several qualities
most men value absolute self-con
fidence and self-reliance on the part
of the engine driver, conservative
nerve and daring, resourcefulness
and lightning quickness of judg
ment which must not be nearly
right, but absolutely unerring.
On a big locomotive of the Mil
waukee's Pioneer Limited a fe
nights ago, Engineer Sullivan and
Fireman Hultane covered the great
er part of the run from Lake City
to LaLrosse at a speed averaging
for actual running time letween 55
and 58 miles an hour. On another
night, with Engineer Patrick Doyle
and Fireman John Youugquist,
many minor delays and handicap
f slow orders, on one long sec
tion ot track, were overcome by ad
ded speed, and the Tioneer Limit
ed, an unusually heavy train on
that night, pulled into LaCrosse on
time.
Men like Sullivan, Weaver, Doyle,
Smith who is no longer a work
ing engineer Homer Williams and
their ilk come but seldom to public
notice, yet their nerve and resource
fulness nightly guard the lives of
hundreds, and their complete mas
tery of their profession enables rce 1
to cover long distances without loss
of time and without disagreeable
incident. Curtis L. Mosher, in the

$2,500 to the Good.
While the business for the year
of the State Board of Agriculture is
not completed, Secretary Moores
announces that the state fair this
year will come out about $2,500 to
the good. The total receipts were
$30,000, of which $10,000 came
from the state appropriation for ag
ricultural premiums. The board
paid premiums to the amount of
$10,500, the additional $5011 being
taken from miscellaneous receipts.
In every department receipts were
less this year than last, the gate re
ceipts falling off $600, of which de
crease $300 was on Poithrtid day
The district fair at Eugene was a
success. The board will have a lit

HILLSBORO, OREGON
EXCITED MARKET
IN HOPS
EVERYBODY AFTER THE CROP
Price Goes Above 28 Cents and May
Go Higher. -8,000 to 10,000
Bales Change Hands.
Tuesday was a wild day in the
Portland hop market, says the Ore
gonian. Everybody was trying to
buy, prices soared and the enthu
siasm on the part of growers and
holders was intense. No such flur
ry as has prevailed in the Valley in
the past forty eight hours has leen ier speech and of democratic editor
witnessed in the hop market in j i-ds without saying anything new
Portland for years. The course of
the market verified all of the nre-
dictions that have been made by
growers of higher values. The top
price reached was 28! cents, an ad
vance of from 1 to 3 cents over for
mer quotations.
It is estimated that from 8,000 to
10,000 bales have changed hands
in the last two days in Oregon,
Washington and California. Fully
5,000 bales were sold in Oregon in
that time..
Thomas ltrown in the Toils.
Thomas Brown, a former resi
dent of Hillsboro, is under arrest in
Portland on a very serious charge.
The Oregonian of Tuesday morn
ing says:
"Thomas Brown, who is alleged
to have fired his residence in Sun-
nyside in order to collect the insur
ance, was arraigned on a charge of
arson in the municipal court yester
day morning. He was held under
$2,500. In the evening he was re
moved to the county jail. On the
night of the fire a week ago, after
the firemen had extinguished the
flames, thev heard a , noise in the
attic of the house, and upon inves
tigation discovered Brown, who
had with him three jars filled with
kerosene. The firemen had pre
viously formed the opinion that the
house had been fired, as kerosene
was found throughout the building,
which was not badly damaged ow
ing to the fact that too much kero
sene had been applied. He was ar
rested by the firemen, who held
him until the arrival of the patrol
wagon."
A message from Forest Grove
says that Thomas Brown is well
known there, where he lived for
ten years, going to Portland from
that city. He is a plasterer by
trade and comes from a good fam

New York, Sept. 27. Speaking
editorially, the Tribune says:
"Judge Parker's letter of accept

his reputation as a great jurist cap

if elected, to revoke it. Judge
Parker proceeds to make a higher
bid. He promises what is practic
ally a service pension, a thing which
has been violently opjiosed by the
leaders aud editors of his own party
for years, and indeed advocated by
few persons outside of radical Grand
Army circles. It is uot too much
to say that this bid for votes is posi
tively indecent."
Reports say that the forest fires
that were beginning to rage near
LaGrande alove Mount Emily have
subsided on account of the heavy
rains that have leen falling for a
few days. Ranchers in that vicin
ity were beginning to le alarmed,
as it was necessary for them to
watch their property, and hundreds

have been destroyed.
