The Severe Storm. Greatly De-

Snow Plows Brought Out Early
From Retirement.

Passenger and freight traffic on the
lines of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
and the Union Pacific, which radiate
from Topeka. has assumed its normal
condition within the past Is hours. and
with the exception of a few transconti-
mental trains from the west. the scne-
dulles are being maintained today ac-
cording to the time cards.
The snow which has prevailed during
the last couple of days throughout the
western portions of the state and to the
southwest is rapidly disappearing ac-
cording to the reports received at the
general offices of the railroad compan-
les here, and this snow did little or no
damage to the tracks of the railroads.
except to blockade them in many lOCali-
trains. These biockades have been lift
ed during the last "a hours with snow
plows and the warm sun of yesterday
afternoon and today has done much
more to clear the snow from the tracks.
On the Rock Island lines the snow
storm of the last two days delayed traf-
Pratt. Kan, clear down to Santa Rosa,
N. NJ, the worst conditions prevailing
between Bucklin, Kan, and Dalhart, Tex,
where a wind of thirty miles hour
prevailed during the snow storms and
drifts of snow. These drifts have been
broken and trains are now running reg
ulaTly along the line. Inc ROCK 1SlanQ
also experienced considerable inconven-
fence along the Choctaw division, with
its terminus at Memphis, Tenn.
There was no snow in this section, but
some unusually heavy rains. which re-
suited in a number of washouts and
slides, put sections of this line out of
commission for the time being. All of
these breaks have been repaired and the
line is in operation today
Reports received at the Santa F'e offices
today were to the effect that the snow
storms in the west and in the southwest
had done little or no damage to the tracks
of the road and had merely hindered the
service by the delaying of trains, because
of drifts and slippery tracks During the
last twenty-four hours conditions had i'm
proved greatly and the trains were run
ming about on time today. A similar state
of affairs was reported from the Union
