Delayed Again.

Missoula, Dec. 19.-Train service on
the Northern Pacific has been disturbed
again to-day and it was 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon before the train from the
East made its appearance. The east
bound train was nearly on time. The
difficulty seems to be that there is too
much snow and storm in Dakota and too
much load for the engines TO pull. The
trains are all heavy and there is no pros
pect of any improvement in the service
for some time. The change that was
promised as soon as the work trains
Were taken off has not yet materialized.

Two Brothers Leave for the kIondyke
With "a Train of Dogs.
Missoula, Dec. ED and Willie Mix
left this afternoon for the Klondyke,
taking with them seven big dogs that
they have had in training for some
weeks. The boys are well prepared for
their trip and the previous experience of
Ed in Alaska will be of much assistance
to them. They were given a good send
off by their friends, and If they don t
return with all sorts of gold, it will not
be because they had not the moral sup
port of a big crowd. The boys will re-
main but day or two in Seattle and
will proceed from there direct to Fort
Wrangel where they will make their
preparations for the trip into the IN
terror. They have friends there, Ed
Mix having spent some time at the old
post on his former Alaska trip.
