ing the time the company was restrain
ed from shipping. Daily shipments of
800 tons are being received, and as soon

suit of the trouble between the B. a. {.

trip, owing to the length of time it
took to travel across the long stretch OF
country between Ashcroft and the Stick
cen river However, no accidents are
reported and if there was suffering along
the route from any other cause than in
experience it has not been chronicled.
