Blockades and wrecks are common al
over the northwest, and the N. P. train be
tween Tacoma and Ellensburgh has beer
quite frequently biockaded during the pas
few days.
Ice hauling is still INDUCED IN, and from
the quantity of the article put up this win

communities.

The most artistic New Years edition of
any paper we have yet seen is that of the
San Jose Mercury of Jan. lst of the present

ends long enough, and it is time that the
matter should be looked after by the court.

Reports from trains are very conflicting
There is a rumor that nine trains are block
,ded on the road between Pendleton and
Pocatello; but this cannot be traced to a re-
liable source. Another says that there were
wo accidents on the Blue Mountain division

he track and went into the Grand Ronde ,
liver, killing the fireman, breaking the leg
# the conductor and injuring the en-
,ineer; and another, went through s
'rIdge; but the casualties were not re-
,orted. Neither of these are from a relia-
lie source, and We cannot vouch for their +
ruth. /

nd it is mystery how he escaped death.
