Possibly the Argus spoke too quick
ly when we stated last week that
trains on the Montana railroad were
now running on time and steps had
been completed to prevent delays in
the future. or possibly the storm
which prevailed in Lewistown yester'
day and today was several days in
advance in Meagher county. Any.
way, the train due here last Wednes-
day evening did not arrive until last
Thursday night; the freight due Fri
day night did not arrive until 4 p. m
Saturday and the freight due here
Monday evening got stuck in the
snow at Summit and was still miss
ing at noon today. Consequently nc
trains left here Thursday, Saturday
OrTuesday mornings. The passenger
service has been reasonably good
however. that train succeeding In
getting through either on time or
late in the evening. The passenger
train due last night arrived at three
O'Clock this morning. Mails were
doubled up on the postmaster Thurs
day and Saturday and today he hat
three mails to handle.
