THE NORTHERN FLOODS.

New Lake Sixteen Feet Deep.

st. Paul. Mimi, March 30-Trans-
continental traffic by the northern
routes continues to be blockaded. The
Northern Pacifics efforts to transfer
passengers across the lake formed by
the overffowing of sloughs near Nc
kenzie, North Dakota proved futile.
and but little hope is held out for the
resumption of business in the near fu-
ture. Reports from the Great North
ern are to the effect that it's trans
continental trains which heretofore
have been able to get through with on
ly slight delay, are now held up by
floods in the western portion OF North
Dakota.
The situation on the Northern Pacific
is extremely serious. Reports from
Mckenzie are to the effect hat a lake
thirty miles long and two miles wide
has been formed and the tracks arc
sixteen feet under water or perhaps
entirely washed out.

employees of Fall River cotton mills
early in the month has become general
