A San Francisco paper of the yell
low journal type prints a dispatch
alleged to have been sent out from
Lewistown giving in lurid headlines
an account OF two trains with twenty
passengers being buried In Fergus
county snow banks. The article Is
untrue in a few minor details. In the
first place no trains have ever beer
lost: in the second, an account OF
such a thing was ever sent out from
Lewistown. We have not the best
railroad in the world and our climate,
especially in the winter months, is
not of the Florida or southern Cali
fornia variety. but we object to the
safron-hued sheets on the outside pill
ing IL on harder than 1t really is,
The present winter has been a hard
one everywhere and from all accounts
the Judith basin has been remarkably
fortunate. Spring creek hasn't froz
en- over all winter and only on a few
days has the thermometer registered
lower than zero. Trains have been
irregular. 1t is true, on our new and
unprepared line, but in New York
state trains on some of the Oldest and
most highly equipped roads have been
delayed as long as a week at a time
Likewise in Minnesota, Michigan and
Wisconsin. trains have been buried
in the snow for several days at q
time. Even in California. a storm
