The Road Brought Into Con
dition by Last Sunday
Night. "

The great rainstorm of Thursday
night last week did so much destruc-
tive work along the line of the North,
ern Pacific that the road was almost
wholly tied up and blockaded here
from Thursday night to Sunday
night, and only on Monday was
train service resumed on schedule
time. - .
East-bound trains due here Friday
morning aud afternoon were stalled
at Wadena, and west bound trains
we're held at PhilbrOok. south OF
Staples. There were q number ol
washouts between Philbrook and
Staples, and bad one at Cushing.
Tie through trains did not lose
much time. as those east bound were
run over the Wadena branch to Fer
gus Falls, and over the Great North
ern to St. Cloud, and the west bound
took the Great Northern tracks .at
St. Cloud to run to Fergus Falls
back over the branch to Wadena,
and then westward. i
The main line south from Little
Falls was not damaged, and al
though the storm prevailed along
part OF the L. F. & D. line, it was not
injured.
The line from Little Falls to Brain
erd and from Brainerd to Staples
suffered most of all. Several small
bridges and culverts were washed out
between this city and Fl. Ripley, and
ip one place fifty feet ot track vas
torn out. '*Ss zs....' z
The switch crew and all the men
that could be had were sent out on
the cutoff as soon as news of the
damage was had.
Passenger train No. 5 came up
Friday with special cars attached
containing editorial excursionists
bound. for Walker, and also General
Manager Kendrick and a party of
friends bent on a fishing trip. The
editors were taken out to Glenwood
in the afternoon and came back Sat-
urday and then went on to Brainerd,
their car being, attached to No. 5.
Mr.. Kendrick and party staid at
Birch Lake, near Grey Eagle.
By Saturday noon the Brainerd
line was repaired and train No. 5
sent to Brainerd, from where it
turned and came back, as the line
between Brainerd and Staples was
not repaired until Sunday alter
noon. Train No. 5 reached here on
it's way back some minutes earlier
than expected, and pulled out for
Royalton before a large number who
wanted to 20 South could get to the
depot. The officials in charge were
telegraphed and sent the train back
from Royalton to pick up the pas
sengers here. -. - s. IS.
Friday nights rains made. other
washouts on the main line and de-
suroyed much OF the work done dur
ing Friday, causing further delay,
but by constant work the road was
got in shape Sunday night. The
gravel train which been sent to:
Starbuck was called back and with.
another worked all OF Sunday haul
ing gravel from the. Darling pit to
the washouts on the cutoff and the.

Mill HAD TO Shut DOWN
Storms do Much Damage in
the Town Of Belle Prai-
rie.

The Mississippi river reached on
Sunday morning the highest point it
has ever been here, and for several
hours there was fear that consider
able damage would be done,
The tremendous storm OF Thurs
day night soon showed it's effect on
the river, which by Saturday night
had risen six feet, and by Sunday
morning was more than two feet
above high water mark. Saturday
night it was feared that the wat
would get around the east end of the
dam and flood the fats, and accord
ingly thepeople living there were noti-
fed by the police to be on the outlook.
Happily the trouble did not occur.
Street Commissioners Lafond was up
all night Saturday watching the
banks on both sides near the bridge.
Between 5 and 6 O'Clock in the morn
ing the river rose eight inches in al
most an instant, owing to the NOV
ing OF the log jam above the city.
Those who saw the eight-inch head
coming down the river represent it
as a grand though terrifying sight.
As it was feared that a channel
might work through between the
Broadway bridge and the east end OF
the dam, the street commissioner
and a crew worked several hours
Sunday morning strengthening the
bank. The condition of the bridge
caused much anxiety for some hours.
Logs had packed under it's east end
and the pressure was 50 strong it.
was feared the bridge would be
pushed off the piers. The boom
sticks holding the logs were sawed,
and the logs cleared away from the
bridge, relieving it.
On the West side the levee was
overfowed and the low ground along
the bank covered with water flom
the lumber yards to the iron works.
The water tumbled over several piles
OF wood in the lumber yards and
washed a long section of the West
side walk away.
Part OF the crib work put in a few
years ago on the west section OF the
dam was torn out by the water near
the island. Deadheads worked under
the planks on the dams crest and
ripped off the cover planks for fifty
feet. How much damage was done
cannot be ascertained till the water
goes down, but it is thought not to
be serious, and will beeasily repaired.
The saw mill shut down Monday,
the water being TO high to permit
the men in the sorting gap to safely
handle the logs, and resumed
Wednesday,.
The river began to fall Sunday af-
ternoon and is now several :eet be-
low high water mark. No further
trouble is expected, nnless there
should be another great rain storm
like last weeks, which is not likely.
