TOO MUCH TRAVEL.
Aside from the inconvenience Of the
DELAY the bclated passengers on the
various stalled trains and those forced
TO the long travel there has been little
discomfort TO the travellers. IN each
instance every effort of the railroad OF
hcials has been directed towards the
comfort OF the luckiess traveller In
me cases where the trains were stalled
the passengers were cared for fully In
the dining car as regarding food. and
no case of suffering has been reported.
In some Instances, however, the
traveller was burdened with travel. on
one train caught on the west by the
floods were nine passengers from ogden
to Reno New, distance OF al miles.
They got as far as INLAY, l4l miles east
az Reno. and now 10 span that lil
miles. they are travelling 2.5O6 miles.
