Llst evening's Omaha Bee says:
"While the fast mail has been hav
ing a pretty rocky time of it;
trouble, it now appears, has ncl
been on account of the inability of
the Union Pacific to make the
schedule time between Omaha and
Ogden, but has come from a com
bination of circumstances with
which the Overland system has had
but very little to do. The North
western has been having some hard
luck that has made it impossible to
! put the train into Omaha on time
and there have been a number of
causes for delay that could not have
been ayoided. Bad weather, winds
that' made it impossible for any
train to do schedule dutyand a few
untoward deals of that kind have
operated against the fast mail, but
in face of all these adverse circum
stances the train, the heaviest run
on any western road, has made the
trip to Ogden on time nearly ever
since the new schedule was in
augurated. The Union Pacific has
taken the fast mail from Omaha
three hours late and touched Ogden
within a few minutes of schedule
time, and has made up from one to
two hours quite frequently. The
officials of the operating department
assert that after the newness of the
schedule has been worn off there
will be no difficulty in making the
trip with comparative ease on the
ri A TT 3
swift schedule now in iorce. Under
the new schedule the fast mail will
leave Omaha at 3:30 in the after
noon, five mirmtes earlier than att
present, and will allow twenty min
utes' leeway between Omaha and
Cheyenne, but will pick up the
twenty minutes between Cheyenne
and Ogden and will arrive at the
latter point at 2 a. m., but fifteen
minutes later than the present
schedule time.
