An amusing incident between the
Northern Pacific and the Canadian Nor
thern took place this week at this point
when the G. N. r. train crew brought
over among a number of cars two fiat

cials here consider that they have

in natural way without hauling it over
in carload lots, so the first N. p. crew
got instructions to take them back over
the line. What the outcome will be re-
mains to be seen.
