TaIk al HoldIne IN coal Trains.

Mound City, Kas., March a.
There has been some talk by the peo-
pie of the town of Parker IN the
part of this county Of
forcibly compelling the Katy" trains
to stop there and relieve a threatened
coal famine which the people there
have faced The local dealers in fuel
saw they placed orders for coal long
ago and in ample time for them to
have been filled. The railroad, how
ever. seems to have felt the necessity of
making provision for fuel famine in
the event of the coal miners strike.
TrainIoads have been rushed through
that place for southwestern points, to
be stored and used as desired.

REPORTS ExAGGERATED.
Damage to Self Lake Road From
Floods Not Very Great.

Salt Lake City. March 29.-Exag-
gerated reports having been published
of the damage caused to railroad prop
erty in southern Nevada by floods. the
following official statement as to cOndi-
tions on the Salt Lake route was given
out yesterday at the headquarters Of
the San Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad: 1.-The washouts occur
red at different places through the
Canyon, just over the Utah line in
Nevada, and the fact that there are
several different breaks along the line
makes it all the more difficult to repair
the grade. The road. it is expected,
will be open within ten days, as every
available team and man is on the
ground with work trains and apph-
ances.
THE trouble IS due to the unprece-
dented storm. and as much of the
washed out grade was originally built
in 1890, and has withstood the weather
for sixteen years it shows how unusual
the food is to that section.
1.-THE local train service is strictly
maintained to Acoma. New. All pas
sengers are being properly cared for
and routed via the old line to Cali
fornia.
NO towns are cut of. as Salt Lake
