small cakes which were thrown over
the brides head as she entered her first

DEEP SNOW
Heaviest Storm Yet to Con-
 tend With.

J.P. Rogers, superintendent of the w. P. & r., says that the present storm on the summit Is the worst the company has had to contend with since the operation of ths railroad. The rotary that preceded Saturdays northbound traln had to blow a trench through between 2 and I4 feet Of snow all the way from the other side of the tunnel to Caribou. Three miles the other side of the summit a drift I3 feet deep and 1000 feet long barred the way. The snow was sOEgY and packed, and there was danger of the rotary bJrlnE To too far and becoming covered completely by the drift. lt was only by careful and palnstakIng tactics that the train got through. NThs rotary bored about G feet Into the drift and back out, when the snow would cave and fall Into the trsneh. This was thrown out at the next advance of the rotary. When thS train was well Into the drift the snow lowered TO feet above the roofs of the cars.
