THE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER MONDAY. APRIL 5. 1897.
ON THE HOG TRAIN.
FRYE-BRt CO/S SPECIAL MAKES
A (.BEAT Rl * FROM OMAHA.
When Seattle 1* Rrarhed a Freight

Hundred and Foarleea Hoc*
I owe *«felj Through at Paaarn-
Train Speed.
A railroad run came to a re
markable end in tiii* city last night. Th<!
end was remarkable because tnere were no
lives lost. 1.414 Berkshire hogs were not kill
ed or dumped into the bay and because
only one freight car was demolished and
the pilot of Northern Pacific engine No. 57S
was not entirely knocked off.
About a month ago the Frye-Bruhn
Pork Company, of this city, sent
Frank F. Frye to Omaha to buy up a load
of the best hogs he couid find. H» did his
business according to Instructions, and then
the railroads did the id share by providing
ten double-decked special hog cars. Theae
are the same cars used by the Squires
Packing Company, of Boston or Somer
vllle. Flach car is provided with appliances
for watering and feeding.
Frye told the raiiroad people he wanted
to get through to Seattle us quick as he
could conveniently, and that he wanted a
special train. In the language of the rail
road men It would be technically called an
extra. Aa a matter of fact, however, it
was made up specially to carry 1,414 hogs
to Seattle and there were no other freight
cars attached.
The train drew out of Omaha at 6 o'clock
|*st W. In- *iay evening over the Burling
ton & Mi-is>uri line and made the run to
Billing®. Mont., a distance of about * 0
miles in forty-four hours. Then the North
ern Pacific took up the train and jumped
hr along toward Seattle as fast as p ssl
ble. At Missoula, Mont., it was ne"es-;«.rv
to stop twelve hours to water and feed;
then the big engine was set In motion on. e
more and the 1.4t4' Berkshire were sent
flyin* toward Seattle, and incidentally th°
slaughter pen.
It was a jrreat run and the Northern
Pacific *;ia keeping up its end in great
shape. As Frank Frye said last night,
you would have thought you were cn a
regular nassergf-r train. Mile lfter mile
faded away, and when Eilensburg was
reached engine No. 57t> was coupled cn.
Engineer Hubbard was at the throttle,
and Conductor Pvge was !n c>. ir?e when
the last link in the nice Ten
Immense double-decked cars, containing
1.414 large hogs, the average weight of an
atiimal being 267 pounds, mvy oe spoken
of as a good load to na'il. but Engi-iee"
Huhlnrd knew bis ousiness. and the w.iy
he mowed down the mile« between Seat
tle and different poin's along the inpin
line was a caution. He struck the lire
up from Puvallup and shot along toward
S«-.ittle. making splendid time. H* passed
the entrance to the Frye-Bruhn Packing
Company's warehouse out cn the Grant
street brilge, and in the darkness had
no Idea what was ahead of him.
Suddenly a box c:.r that had be*n kick
ed out upon the main tra k by a North
ern Pacific switch engine, got in th> way
of engine No. 576. There wa.t a
a sudden jolt, a d<>ad stop and a demol
ished freight car. Jrst beyond that
freight car was a switch engine, but for
tvi ately It was not hooke<l up to it.
Srrange tc say, the enly damage ro the
bucking engine was a badly used-up pi
lot. She did not leave the rnd not
cne of the hog car l behind her offered to
Jump sideways The hogs, however, felt
br.dlv at l.avtnr their sleep disturbed. aM
squealed and grunted in a most effective
manner.
In less than. half-hour the wreck was
removed and the engine which had de
molished the freight car backed, the hogs
into the packing house yard, and then
started out over the m *ln road back home,
Just a* If nothing had happened.
Frank Frye who was on the train, said
last night that It was a very quick stop,
and he w thsrkful that no one was In
jured. In spenklng of the run over the
Northern Pacific, he «ald that It was the
he*» he Mil ever heard of with a freight
trait:, ar.d that not one minute of time was
lost. In all the Northern r»<Mflc made
1.05*5 miles, according to Mr. Frye's fig
ures. In forty-t :ree hours. w*hi -h would
practically etjual the time made by a pas
senger train. No? one of the Immense lend
of hogs died, and when they were '.tken
out of the cits !ast> nlgnt tney justified
the exprcs'.on that th?y we:e r.s fine hogs
SLS you would see in many days' travel.

Trsformat' n from St. Pa il. received bv
the Poßt-Intellifencer la?: nigljt. states
that lher* is no lis;- siMon thus fxr on 'h»
part of any of the er.«: while association
roads to cut rates. So far no overt act has
b*er« com!r!t:e<i by any of the and ail
manifest a disposition to be more cauilaua
and conservative tn rate matters than ever,
jus: because they fee! their safegia.ds have
been removed and they have been thrrwn
entirely on their own resources. Unless
the bureau becomes a thin* of life and
Vauty Immediately, however, riotous rate
cutting Is Inevitable.
The "bureau" referred to Is one of
statistics, of which the Post-Intelligencer
has spoken. Western railroads discovered
as soon as the supreme court rendered its
derision in the Tra:i<*-Missourt cise that
their associa'l na and agreements were il
legal, and within twenty-four hours after
wards the p 1 was a tiling of the past in
the West. Ever aggressive, ever orlgina".
the Western railroads b-gan smir dlattiv ? o
devise some scheme whereby they might,
as far as poasibfte. accomplish the pur
poses of their pool without violating the
law. They discovered the bureau, and the
bureau it shall be. Meantime, the Eastern
lines, with their characteristic lassitude,
hi»ve been clinging feebly to the old hu;k
Western lines met in St. Paul last Wed
nesday toorganize their bureau, which was
announced in the Associated Press. It is
believed that the largest and most impor
tant meeting since the supreme court rul
ing was held at that time. The* transcon
tinental and Eastern lines met at the same
time in New York to arrange divisions on
throutrl» business, which they claimed was
not ilk-sal.
The trans-Missouri freistht rate commit
tee. being more loosely organized than oth
er associations, expects to convert itself
into a burvau with little dtffl u'.iy.
The railroads, having read itie full text
of the decision, have tome to the con
clusion that they are not prohibited from
getting: together ar.d discussing rates nor
from having an understanding as to what
reasonable rates are, provided they do
not pass resolutions or formally agree to
maintain them. It will thus be seen that
If the principle of the bureau is estab
lished on a broad scale th* railroads will
accomplish a great deal, for their inter
ests are so great and so complex and
their understandings with one another so
compact that an Individual ine would be
incurring great risks In cutting a "reason
able rate" by stirring up the animosity of
competitors as well as by spreading de
m >ralizatlon, which might never end. It
will be seen. also, that the more success
ful such a bureau was in Its operations
the more
ground tread upan by the railroads.
Speaking of the latest move of the West
ern lines General Counsel Bunn, of the
Northern Pacific, said: There Is no doubt
whatever that all th<» old associations have
be»«n doomed, and I am glad to see the
"Western railroads so active In working
out a scheme whereby they may. as far as
possible, maintain reasonable rates without
violating the law. The bureau, as pro
posal, looks like a feasible scheme, and I
certainly hope tt is. for some understand
ing among the railroads as to rates and
their maintenance is absolutely necessary."
Mr. Bunn expressed the santlment of legal
and traffic authorities generally In this
statement.
T'nder the same date a Chicago commu
nication to the Post-Intelligencer says that
a careful canvass of the Western
and Northwestefn roads develops
that no demoralization in rates,
present or prospective, exists save
In the predictions of the
newspapers. The mo*? imperative orders
have been issued by the executive officers
of each Western line, forbidding the exis
ting or manipulating of rates.
The Western Trunk Line Company, con
sisting of the highest traffic officials of
every road winch was a member of the
late Western associations, was called to
gether Immediately after the announce
ment of the I'eckham decision, and this
company Is now fully organised and will
be re>inforce«l and assisted by the board of
administration of the late associations,
which w ill be organised as bureaus of sta
tistics and Information. Every move is be
ing made under the supervision and direc
tion of the highest legal advice available,
and it wems ci >r that rates are going to
be fairly maintained without contravention
of the law. as laid down In the recent de
cision.
At >*<t two roads, hitherto members of
the associations, notified their Seattle
n*ents yesterday of their withdrawal from
any organizations, but also stated that all
rates will be kept up. Therefore there has
Nen r.o suggestion of the rate war that
was predicted, but there are those among
the local railroad men who ssy that such
will be the result of the breaking up, and
•hat it will he necessary to bring the mem
bers of the different organizations to an un
derstanding.

April 10 the will be closed, and al
thc ugh new in. mbers will be welcome
after that, still they will not. figuratively,
cut so much ice, which is but natural, as
it will then t*» almost summertime. Th»
hundred mark was passed last Wednes
day. and as all previous contests nave
sr 1 wn that the rush comes during tne last
week, it is expected that 200 new men will
be enrolled before tfrme is called. The work
has progressed well during the last few
days, and the score has now climbed to "0
for the Bulls against for the Bears. As
will be seen, the Bulls have almost a safe
lead, but the Bear leaders do not seem to
have given up hope and evidently still con
sider themselves In the race. All the men
have been putting in good, honest work on
the contest, and a great deal of credit is
due to those who have secured new mem
bers. although some were compafatrvely
easy to get. otaers required a great deal
of persuasion and explanation before com
