dition. He arrived in town Saturday with

The railroad ticket agents have a grievance;
business is very light. Passenger traffic is al
most suspended, the cold weather having put a
cessation to travel The sale of tickets for No
vember and December was light beyond COM
parison. Out Of the general gloom the conso-
lation is absorbed, that if this be the case in St.
Paul her companions in misery are as plentiful
as the railroad centres are numerous The
same report comes from Kansas City-the larg-
est railroad centre in the West. The sale of
tickets there was never less than during the last
month. While passengers are few and far be-
| tween the freight business is not worse than
ordinarily at his season of the year.
Regular passenger trains are running between
this city and Winnipeg. Up to ST. Vincent
freight is conveyed, beyond that point it can
not, lust now, be transported. A through
train, one coach, goes beyond the boundary
line. The shipment of through freight cannot
be forwarded owing to the scarcity of water
along the route. As yet water tanks have
been erected. and the water supply for steam
has to be drawn from creeks with siphons
The excessive cold weather has frozen most of
these streams to the bottom, and cut off the
supply of water. Through business will be re-
sumed or commenced at the earliest practical
moment.
