TRAINS Hello Up
BY RAGING FLOOD
Water Racing Across the Ca.
madam Pacific Rails East
Of Winnipeg

Winnipeg, Sept. Fifteen passen-
ger trains, besides all the freight and
stock trains on the Canadian Pacific
between Winnipeg and Fort Williams
were held up ct way stations and side
tracks between these two points as q
result OF the cFoudburst that flooded
the main line between Horner and
lgnace late Saturday night. It is
stated by railway men to be the worst
disaster of the kind that ever hap
pened In western Canada. Not q
train has reached Winnipeg from the
east since Saturday morning and ten
thousand people are being kept watt
Ing at points along the line. In addi-
tion to this, the eastern mails are all
held back for sixty hours, as is the
mail going east and all express mat
ter is likewise delayed for this period.
Earl Grey, governor general Of Cana
da and party, are on board one of the
late trains and the other passengers
are made up of business men, COM
mercial Travellers. tourists and immi-
grapts.
At an early hour yesterday
the rain began to fall in this. district
and for several hours poured down in
[EearkaltS. much in the nature sof se-
(IAe1 9f cioHdbufsts. The sSurroundinS b
fgounty Ss for the most part Of rocky
formation and the volume Of water
which descended, unable to find ma
tural outlet through the ground,
poured across the track at several
places and rendered the rails very
dangerous for traflic.-. The worst sit
uation was at Horner, small flag
station, ITO miles east of Winnipeg,
where the water was reported running
over the tracks IN steady stream.
Omcials Of the company were
promptly notified Of the state Of af-
fairs and rather than take any risks
during the darkness decided to hold
all trains until track walkers had
inspected every foot of the road in
the morning. As a result of those
orders the westbound Imperial Linn
tied was held at Kenora, as was also u
special immigrant train and train No.
2 which left Winnipeg during the aft
ernocn was sidetracked at Rennie. The
Toronto express, scheduled to leave
Winnipeg at 1880 did not pull out
until after midnight. A special train
was made UP and left for the west at
u O'Clock as the first section Of train
No. 81. Tho delayed trains from the
east are expected In at noon, today.

A Little Story With Moral for Every
Union Man.

John Cracker and his wife lived in
a one-story, implanted house, standing
in the middle of a cotton field. Not a
tree surrounded the house, not bit
of green grass. His mules lived in a
log hovel, through which the winter
winds howled, and they ate cottonseed
bulls for lack Of hay, and whatever
corn could be spared. John had some
scrub cattle out in the cane brakes all
winter, but not a COW to give them
milk: and all winter and most OF the
rest of the year the only vegetables
that appeared on their table were col
lards, field peas and sweet potatoes,
and their only bread was corn-dodgers
with fat Western bacon for grease.
John plowed all his land every year
for cotton, except little piece of bot
tom land that went in corn every year
