Tho point is that there must be no

But a tieup anywhere along the
line would make it hopeless and that
Ls what the S. P. is taking special
pains to guard against.
It is no simple matter to bring tho
Overland through in midwinter with
the heavy pull over the Sierra Ne
vadas and the long run through Wy- i
oming, Utah nnd Nevada, on the some '
time that is made in summer. But j
special orders have been issued thnt j
no delay shall be permitted for any'
cause which possibly mny bo averted. !
The two hours must be made up
and.t he. train must be brought
through if three or four engines have
to be. tied on to it.
Realizing the advertising featore of
the stunt, the S. P. is working to win
Coffroth's bet for him, and all Cof
froth has to do is to look out the
window and admire the winter scenery.

REVENUE CUTTER IS TO
SEARCH FOR SHIPWRECK
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 7. The
revenue cutter Bush, stationed nt
Jnneau, is expected to be ordered to
day to begin immediate search for
the five men who left the wrecked
steamer Farallon nt Llamma bay a
month ago to eek aid for their ship
wrecked comrades, and who have not
been heard from since. United Stntes
Senator Piles has been requested by
Frank 33, Burns, manager of the
Alaska Steamship company, owners
of the Farallon, to secure from the
treasury department the- necessnry
authority for the dispatching of the
Bush nnd it is practically certain that
the request will be granted. If for
nny reason the Bush should not be
available, the steamship Yucntnn, due
at Vnldez today, will be ordered to tho
westward for the purpose.
The six men who risked their lives
for their imperilled fellows are : Sec
ond Mate Gns Synnon. Seamen Otto
Nelson and Charles Peterson, Captain.
Wedding and Engineer Albert Bailey,
en route to Kodiak to join the launch
Sea Wolf, nnd Charles Bourne, a res
ident of Afogna):.
The men left tho ship destined for
Kodiak, a distance of about 30 miles.
Up to January 3, when the ln"t re
ports were received from that port,
they had not arrived. Manager Burns
"floes not share the pcneral belief thnt
tho men have been lost in tho severe
storms thnt hnve raged nlong the
Alaskan const for ninny weeks, but
thinks they hnve put into one of the
many Indian villages along the She
likof strait. I7e bases this opinion on
the fact thnt Captain Wadding is fa
miliar with thnt conntrv.
