The damage to the road bed Is so eN-
tensive that it will take large expen-
diture of money and vast amount of
labor to put the road in as good condi-
ton as 1t was previous to the rainy
period. ALI trains are delayed and the
division east to Waterloo is in a similar
condition. The officials are exercising
every care to prevent accidents, and no
attempt is permitted to make up lost
time.
The damage to the growing crops can
not be estimated, but is considered
heavy, as rain have fallen almost con-
tinuously every day this week but
Monday. Farmers have been forced to
abandon the fields and but few at
tempts have been made to cut the crop
of grass now ready for the mower.
