ingly resumed their regular route and yester
day came and went on schedule time.
The M. & St. P. company's agents are agair
selling tickets over the Fl. & D., and will soor
receive freight for Ortonville and way points
although the trains will for few days longer
be sent around by the M. & st. L. road tc
| Chaska, until the roadbed of the 81. & D. thi.
| side of Chaska can be made as good as before
the late overflow ofthe Minnesota.
Beginning. yesterday, the NJ. d st. ?. com.
pany is again selling tickets and receiving
freight over the Southern Minnesota to Fland'
rau and over the Iowa & Dakota to Rock Valley
| Soon all the new roads as well as the old ones
will be throughout brought into good working
order, after their partial suspension, first by
snow and then by water.
| The lately submerged tracks below Broad
way and along Phalen creek prove to be less
| damaged than was expected.
| The st. Paul & Manitoba company followed
up its track-layers so closely last season with
| its crews of masons and carpenters that it has
as yet this season but few station buildings to
provide. But it has just completed new freight
houses at Fargo and Moorhead, each 80xl0O
| feet, also warehouse for track supplies at
| Minneapolis Junction, and has two or three
| crews of carpenters steadily employed on re-
pairs, Improvements and enlargements of sta
| ton buildings. At Fargo the ground is being
graded for erection of a handsome passenger
house, about 25x60 feet, the two wait
ing rooms of which will be each about
22x26 feet, finely finished and handsomely
furnished. The plans for this building, pre-
pared at the Office of Col. Smith, chief engin-
eer of the company, provides for an unusually
handsome exterior in modified Swiss style.
The close working relations between the st..
P. & NJ. and C. P. railways, brought about by
the accession of the new company, popularly
known as the syndicate, to control of the
Canadian Pacific, is apparent in the new de-
parture, inaugurated yesterday, of run
ming the st. P & M. trains direct
through from st. Paul to st. Boniface,
Manitoba. Each train leaving here at 7:30
P, NJ, will have two sleepers, one of which
will be detached at Brainerd, and go to Moor
through with the st. Bonifaee train. This
sleeper arrangement will give satisfaction to
people on the st. Vincent division and G. p
branch, who have heretofore had to complain
of being turned out of the sleeper at GAINESVILLE,
at an uncomfortably early hour. The people
OF Manitoba will also be gratified by the new
arrangement, from which they expect de-
cided Improvement in the management and
operation of their road.
With reference to the election of Messrs.
Hill and Angus to be directors of the st. Paul
& Duluth company and to the fact that the
M. & st. P, G. g. N. W, and c., st. P. q 0.
companies are also represented In the st. T. q
D. directory, gentleman familiar with the
relations of the several companies and likely
to be informed as to the purposes of the st. P.
& D. owners, suggests that arrangements will
probably be made by which all the companies
whose roads connect with the st. P. & D. at
st. Paul will have such privileges on the lat
ter road as will enable them TO makel freight
rates to and from Duluth, and in connection
with the Lake Superior lake lines, as If this
road was part of each of their lines. The
grant of privileges will doubtless be similar to
that made to the NJ. s. st. L. company, except
that the business of these other companies
will probably not require them to maintain
their own trains through to Duluth. Such
arrangements would Inevitably, as in the
case Of the M. & st. L. contract, materially
increase the income of the st. P. s. D. COM
pany without diminishing the earnings of its
own trains; and, in that view, If made they will
strengthen the credit upon which the st. 2.
& D. company proposes to borrow 81 100000
for relaying its track and otherwise improv-
ing its permanent way.
The time is near when the St. Paul & Omaha
road, main line and branches, will be fully re-
covered from the winter blockades Of snow
and Ice and the spring breaks by ice and over
flows. Until this important line was closed
by the great snow and wind storms OF last
winter, few of our business men had appre-
ciated how much its operation had contributed
to the trade of st. Paul. Now they do know
that every important branch of trade in the
this road. All wholesale dealers in
merchandise, manufacturers and sellers
of agricultural machinery, and produce
and commission dealers, have felt the three
months loss of the st. Paul & Omaha, and
will rejoice at its restoration. Yesterday the
Sioux City trains were sent out over their own
| route, but pending repairs to the connecting
| roads between Sioux City and Omaha the
| night train, or Omaha express, leaving here at
| $40 P. NJ, will stop at st. James. The 7:1O
| A. NJ train will run through to Sioux City,
with regular connections on the branch lines.
The Des Moines bridge has been restored, and
| was crossed yesterday by trains from east and
| west The passenger train which left Sioux
| City yesterday morning arrived here about
4; 10 o'clock last evening. The telegrs p
! lines along the road have been repaired and are
working nicely. Freight business, however
begins slowly, there being so much to clear
/; ed and side tracks occupied with lumber and
| other freight for points beyond Sioux City. In
| few days, however, all this freight will be
moving westward and the regular operation
| of the road will be fully resumed, with tht
!! rolling stock fairly distributed.
After all, 6teamooatlng lS SLOW. Ine MARY
Barnes, which left here Sunday forenoon fol
Mankato, was passed at Belle Plaine yester
day morning by the Sioux City passenger
train which left here twenty hours later, ant
which will be well on its way back from
Sioux City by the time the boat is landed al
Mankato. The boat, however, has good pay
ing business of its own, although three of it:
passengers jumped it at Belle Plaine and took te
the cars.
General Agent Teasdale, of the c., st. P. &
o. railway, has got out a convenient pocket
time card, of the present arrangement of Lake
Elmo, Saltwater and Hudson trains. i

Elmo, six to Saltwater and five to Hudson
with one Sunday train to each
and four trains Monday, fvt
other weekdays and one Sunday, from Hud
son to st. Paul; five each day, except one OIL
Sunday, from saltwater; and one train Sun
days, six Mondays, and seven other days from

neat small map of the whole Omaha line an.
connections, and the hours of arrival and de
parture (St. Paul) of through trains east AM
west.
