The Preston Republican is strongly ad-
vocating direct line of railroad to St.
Paul. 1t says ''as matter of fact St.Paul
is nearly as good market for most of our
agricultural products as Chicago"
It says: One of the greatest needs of
this section of the country is direct rail
way communication with st. Paul nor is
it merely need, but a necessity to the fur
Their development of Fillmore, Olmsted
and portions of at least Wabashaw and
Goodhue counties. These counties though
rich in all that constitutes agricultural
wealth, and are in seni-dormant state,
having been developed to a degree CORE
spending with the transportation facilities
north and east"
Railroad men did not feel comfortable
yesterday morning when they saw the fine
snow falling in such threatening quanti-
ties. The experience OF the past two or
three weeks with wind and snow storms,
and the delay of trains together with the
consequent interference with business has
been an exceedingly unpleasant one,
that it would not be agreeable
to have repeated. Railroad men witnessed
with some fear the continued falling Of the
snow. JAS the day wore on, however, it was
evident that less inconvenience would come
from it than they had expected. As the
dispatches continued to come in during the
day it was evident that the interference
with travel was not one-half
as great as they had
encountered, nor as much as they had rea
son to expect in the morning. The
=
a. M, was united at Fargo with No. 2, and
arrived here at $40 P. N. yesterday. The
train left yesterday morning on time.
The train on the st. Paul d Manitoba
road, due in ST. Paul at Z 80 a. M, was one
hour late, and the one due at $50 was
three hours late. On both these roads
everything was moving along regularly. OF
course there was some delay, the same as
there has been for the last three or four
days, but generally both roads were doing
exceedingly we'll. The train on the North
ern Pacific that left st. Paul at SIS Thurs
day night, got through to Fargo at $50
Friday morning. The freight trains
are not receiving as much at
tention as the passenger trains are
and except those freight cars that contain
perishable material or live stock, they are
not crowded forward. Live stock and per-
ishable articles are being pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. The Chicago, st.
Paul & Omaha road was on time or nearly
so yesterday. On the western division
many of the freight trains were
laid up and the attention of the
men and offices was directed to handling
and managing the passenger trains. The
opinion of railroad men seemed to be that
the storm would not be severe one. The
storm struck the Sioux City division early
yesterday morning, where it showed all the
forenoon till into the afternoon, when it
turned mostly into rain. The eastern
trains on the Royal route we're all on time,
or nearly so. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul road seems to have the worst of
this storm. No. 3, due at ST. Paul at 2:25
p. M, on the river division, was six or
seven hours late. This division seldom
suffers from snow blockades, and during all |
these storms that we have had lately, the |
trains have come along pretty nearly |
in regular time. This storm |
seems, however, to have made more |
on it and the trains had hard |
work to get through. The Iowa & Mime |
sofa division of the same road was all |
blocked up again, and trains on it were
wholly blocked and stopped. The Hast
ngs & Dakota was also blocked up. The
Albert Lea route was open, but a good
deal of doubt was expressed as to how long
It will remain open.
Injunction Sustained.
