Solid Train of Sixty Cars of Shevfin Pine

One of the greatest lumber shipments of all history was made by the McCloud River l.umber Company, of McCloud, California, on the fifteenth day of September.

It was a solid trainload of Shevlin Pine, consisting of sixty full cars of lumber.

Every car represented a bona fide sale. There was no consignment stuff, and no padding to make a carload. The entire Shevlin sales forces in the East have been engaged for thirty days in signing up the orders for this train, ind the Shevlin folks feel inordinately proud of the achievement.

The moving of these sixty cars of lumber in one solid string toward the East celebrated the inauguration of the new transcontinental service of the Great Northern Railway, and the offrcials of that road assisted materially in making the event a very great one. It likewise celebrated the formation of the new Shevlin Pine Sales Company. It was the first shipment over the new lines, and thi entire train moved direct to St. Paul, Minnesota, and thence to numerous points east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio.

The railroad made the.event-a big one by arranging to have the train greeted in each town througtr wlicE it passed by the blowing of all the industrial wh-istles. Great banners on all the cars told the countryside through which the train passed the story of the big shipment.

The event was made a great one in MiCloud. There was ceremony conn-ected with-thg ;starting of thp tiain, ""a, aS it rolled out of the mill yards- it was_accompanied by ihe {-astq of whistles, .and the cheers of the people of McCloud.
