Travel.
The effects of the storm were fully dis
covered yesterday all along the lines of
the railroads, and vigorous efforts were
made to remove all the impediments to the
public travel. Each road sent out
its snow plows and gangs of
men with engines enough to
remove mountains. The progress they
made was evidenced by the arrivals of
trains during the day from several points
THE CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE, s. ST. PAUL.
This road was really in but very little
better condition yesterday than it was the
day before. No trains are started on the
Iowa & Minnesota division. Work, how
ever, progressed so far that the officers in
charge hope to start out the o'clock train
this morning. Still this was merely
hope. The promises were not very great
On the Hastings & Dakota road it was
thought they could start out the s o'clock
train this morning. The snow plow at
o'clock yesterday afternoon had worked
from Millbank to Olivia, the first station
west of Bird Island. They have, therefore,
opened the worst part of the road and
thought they would have the road opened
to-day.
The train yesterday on the river road
due at a. N. did not arrive till 1 p. H.,
it having been detained in Wisconsin.
From La Crosse to st. Paul it made time,
showing that the difficulty on this road is
in Wisconsin. The river division has not
missed train since the troubles began.
The Chicago afternoon train went out on
| time.
The trouble on the Iowa & Minnesota
division extends all along the line even to
Chicago.
The short lines between st. Paul and
Minneapolis are all right. At present
there is but little wind but good deal Of
| cold.
No. train from Chicago, due here at
2:35,was late and did not arrive till 10
o'clock last night. This detention was
not due to the storm though, but from an
accident which partially threw the train
from the track.
The Owatonna train to leave at 4:30
p. m. was abandoned. No trains in or out
on the l. & NJ. division.
THE ST. PAUL s. MANITOBA.
This road is practically all right. Of
course trains are q little late and will
be for some time. Snow plows have been
sent over the Breckenridge and northern
divisions with a sufficien. number of To-
comoti7ss,a and crews to drive them through
the snow. The result is that both
divisions are in such shape that trains can
go right along. Both freight and passenger
trains arrive regularly and the latter near
ly on time. The through Winnipeg train
arrived at 3 a. N. yesterday and the $50
a. N. Willmar train started yesterday
morning for Breckenridge. The weather
up the road is clear and pleasant.
THE CHICAGO, ST. PAUL & OMAHA.
The Sioux City division of this road is
all right, and the road is all open from
st. Paul through to the western end. No.
| 1 train was sent out on time, with the ex-
| pectation that she would go through,
though there was some trouble expected at
| Crystal Lake, but not of serious charac-
| ter Trains arrived as usual over that road,
though, of course, late. The Blue Earth
| branch was opened up also yesterday.
| The eastern division was almost as much
under the dominion of the snow as it was
the day before. The passenger trains due
Wednesday night were yesterday afternoon
| at Hammond and Baldwin. The
snow lay deep around Roberts
it was impossible to tell when they would
get in. Snow plows are at work in all
directions. The noon train left on time
for Chicago, and the 7:45 p. m. also left
for the same destination on time.
| The Saltwater division was all open and
trains were running on as good time as
could be expected. The first train for
| Saltwater in two days started out yester-
day. The trouble has been between Mid
vale and Saltwater. All along here the
snow has been solid eight feet deep pretty
much the whole distance.
ST. PAUL DULUTH.
The trains are all coming along through
from Duluth, though it is slow, hard work
The trains between Saltwater
and St. Paul pretty nearly on
time At noon the snow pillow was started
out to open up the road from White Bear
to Minneapolis, but it had not been heard
from up 10 o'clock. Snow is said to be
as high as the box cars all along there,
and the only way they will have to get
through will be to shovel it out bodily.
| THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
This road, like the st. Paul & Manitoba,
he's go; into pretty good shape, and the
trains are arriving and departing close up
to time. The night trains left as usual
last evening.
MISCELLANEOUS.
| Everything is expected to be ready for
business this morning on all the roads.
Mr.. Charles B. Bronson, the secretary of
the Union Depot company, has had his
hands full in managing the people who
have gathered at the depot building await
ing with some impotence through the
long delay. By his pleasant and accom-
modating treatment of them he succeeded
in keeping them good-natured, which was
no small thing to do.
