RAILROAD NOTES.

a
heavy still the trains are making progress
and will continue to daily improve. L
must not be expected, however, that they
will be wholly on time for several days
as the weather in the West is bitter cold anG
the snow is not wholly conquere d
though there is considerable improvement
The storm seems to have gone around from
the northwest, struck the Burlington
Cedar Rapids g. Northern, and now the
Northwestern road. 1t is reported that
there is a very heavy fall of snow at Chi
cago and west of that city, SO that the
Northwestern was compelled to abandon
the train that should have left Chicago
Sunday noon for ST. Paul. Altogether this
has been the worst, most inconvenient, and
severely cold storm that railroad men in
the Northwest have ever ex-
perienced. They hope soon to be out Of
the difficulty, and will be in few days, un-
.lJess the snow should commence to fall
|.Again and the winds to blow. The bulle-
: jim board at the Union depot at 3 O'Clock
3 Yesterday afternoon read as follows
The Northern Pacific

vision to-day.
The $3.50 Sioux City train abandoned.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul

| ST. PAUL & MANITOBA ROAD.
Mr.. St1mson, of this road, was found
yesterday full of business in attending to
| road and the thousand other matters he
had in hand. He declared that it was
colder than blazes up north, but that he
had not received many dispatches about
| the weather. as he had no time to attend to
| them or even read them. Trains all along
the road were. working forward steadily,
though, of course, owing to the cold and
snow, they would all be late few hours.
1t is very hard wheeling indeed, but the
indications are that the worst is over and
that the arrival and departure of trains
will soon be quite regular. Last night all
trains on this road for the northwest left
on time.
CHICAGO, ST. PAUL & OMAHA ROAD.
On the Western division of the Royal
route, trains were all moving along regu-
larly, though all were behind time. The
train that went out in the morning turned
around and came back when it reached
Mankato. There would have been no
trouble in its going through to the end of
the road as the track is clean.
No. / that should have gone out
in the afternoon was abandoned
till Tuesday. It was concluded that there
were as many trains on the road as it was
desirable to have out at present, and that
this one better be held for a while. All
the trains on the road are moving along
gradually but surely. 1t is expected that
by to-day everything On the road will bein
proper condition and that schedule time
will be made, always providing there is no
more snow and wind. The temperature
ran yesterday from Is to % below all
along the road. The eastern part of the
line is in trouble. The Northwestern
road, which substantially now forms
the great eastern part of this great
highway, is buried up in snow, and the
winds are bowling as though they had the
voices of SO many fends. The consequence
is that the afternoon train that should have
left Chicago Sunday afternoon was held
back and abandoned.
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC ROAD.
All the trains on this road are working
safely and surely, and unless something
unexpected happens, they will be running
on time in day or two. No. 4, due in st.
Paul at 7:40 a. NJ, got in at $50 p. M,
and all trains left on time last
night 1t is very cold all along
the line, the mercury making
from 25 to 80 below. 1t is slow, hard
wheeling, but verything will be all right in
day or two.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Paymaster HOLSTER, who was showed in
fourteen miles west of Fergus Falls, was
dug out on Saturday night after being
twsnty-four hours in the snow.
Mr.. Hatch, of the Chicago, st. Paul &

Chicago, where he has been with Mr.. Cush-

for this road will probably be here by the
first OF april, and they will be as fine spec

any road. 1t is the intention to equip the
whole road in this respect.
