Superintendent Towne, of the Northern Pa
ci6c. who arrived at Bismarck Sunday night
with his men and outfit engaged in lifting the
late blockade, left Bismarck yesterday morn
ing and was making good progress toward
Fargo, where he is expected to arrive to-day,
and whittier he had already been preceded by
the other working party under Assistant Road
Master Bell. 1t is now the expectation to start
out a convoy of trains, freight and passenger,
preceded by a snow pillow outfit and large
force of men, from Fargo tomorrow for
Bismarck, and that the passage will be made
without any serious delay. Some trouble. how
ever, is to be expected from the fact that the
work of lifting previous blockades has piled up
on either side of the track great ridges of snow,
which forms lodging place for the snow in
every shifting wind, but nothing approaching
general blockade is to be expected this season.
