ton of the St. Paul Co.'s track above
Heights was washed out by high water,

gorge. Both evening passenger trains
met at the washout, exchanged passen-
gers, baggage and mail and then
doubled up on their trip, neceSsitat-
ing a delay of several hours. Next

minor repairs had been made on the
plant, but this cannot be done until
after the water gets sufficiently low to
repair the dam, which may be several
we sks. The loss and Inconvenience
this will cause can hardly be estimated
