FLOODS BLOCK TRAINS
500 Road Beyond Minot Still Out of
Service.

It Is expected to be at least ten
days before the Mouse river will COM
pose itself sufficiently to allow the
500 line to resume operations beyond
under water. The service has been
off for some time and has made con-
siderable trouble for persons who de-
sired to complete land claims by May
1. They have been sent north by
way Of Winnipeg to reach the Cana
dian Pacific. Until the flood recedes
the Great Northern will help the 500
out to Winnipeg. Trackmen can get
the line in shape very few hours
after the flood subsidies.
