it seems almost like a fairy tale, and
yet the report is out that the North-
Western will e~ip two splendid trains
more elaborate even than the Colorado
Specials, and send them across the
country at terrific speed, reducing the
time made by the special already by at
least three hours. It is thought that
one of them will be a daylight run and
take the place of No. 15, the fast mail.
The presumption is that this move by
the l~orth-Western is to secure the
government contract for carrying the
regular fast mail between Chicago and
the coast. The splendid new locomo-
tives the North-Western has in use
