NEAR FAITH, S. D.
LINE is ORDERED OPENED
State Rail soard Tells c. NJ. & st. p.
II Must Push Through Drifts
Blizzard Follows Blizzard
for Weeks.

Mobridge, S. D.-The state board Of
railroad commissioners has ordered
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad to get a train over it's branch
line from Mobridge to Faith, 8. D., II
1t takes every locomotive on the sys-
tenn to push a rotary pillow through the
great snowdrifts which are ~blockading
the line from end to end.
The last train reached Faith on
Christmas day, since which time not
a message of any kind has come from
the town. Faith is on a branch line
twenty miles south of Mobridge.
On December 25 a heavy snow fell
and no effort vas made to run a train
owe the line for several days. When
half way to Faith the train that was
finally sent out got stuck IN a cut
filed with snow and was unable to
go forward or to return here. A relief
rain was sent out apd this got stuck.
A rotary plow pushed by three loco
motives went after the relief train
and finally released it, bringing the
passengers from the first train back
to Mobridge, where they yet are.

Cuts Filled With Snow.

Blizzard after blizzard filled the
cuts deeper and prevented relief.
Whenever a locomotive with a pillow
was sent out, it had hard work get
ling back to Mobridge. One 1ocomo-
i've was forced to melt n for use
In the boiler.
On January 6 fifty men with shovels
were set to work in an attempt to res
3ue the rotary pillow. When within
three miles of it another blizzard
came along and filled the cuts which
they had shoveled clear. The road
finally sent to the mountains for its
most powerful rotary pillow, with
which IN effort will be made to break
the blockade.
The citizens of Faith are not SUI
tering, as they are supplied with pro-
visions and fuel.
At present the branch train, two
locomotives and a rotary pillow are
snowbound out on the line, with no
prospects of release until the big plow
from the mountains arrives.

WOODMEN UNVElL MONUMENT.

AS planned, West Feliciana Camp
No. 483, Woodmen Of the World,
held ON Sunday afternoon unwilling
ceremonies of the monument erected
to Arthur F. Petrie. A very heavy
rain fell shortly before the hour fix
ed and continued for some time, con-
fusing the Woodmen's arrangements
and delaying them somewhat. 1t also
lessened the attendance considerably,
but a fair number assembled at the
cemetery, to witness the interesting
rites of the order.
The procession Of members, proceed
ed by the band from New Roads,
marched from their hall in the V
building to the churchyard, there the
officers assembled within the outline
of the wedge with the yelled monu-
ment at the apex, and performed ne
symbolic rites. These were Chas.
Tadlock, c. c.; Amedee Leonard, A.
L.; George Stern, banker; F. C. Will
cox, clerk; O. Daniel, Waterman; Jas.
Roth, escort; J. Kaufman, sentry; J.
L. Dupuy, captain.
AS part of the ritual, ooh Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal be
Proud?" was recited by Miss Amy
Leake with much feeling.
Judge ChaS. A. O'Niel, of St. Mary,
made a touching address, referring
to the great principles of the order,
and to the mysteries of death and it's
lessons Of humility to man, since he,
has dominion over the earth, and is
now exploring the region of the up
per air, is unable to penetrate into
the depths of the earth: typical of
the unknown that also lies around
man in his descent into the grave.
But man sustained by his confidence
in a Power Above can humbly but
bravely face the uncharted regions
beyond the grave.

the dead man, in whose honor the
present monument was unveiled,
whom he had known in his native
place, around Franklin, La. Judge
O'Niell is a very pleasing speaker and
his address seemed all too short for
his listeners.
The New Roads band rendered
suitable selections, ending with Near
er My God to Thee" The local camp
feels very grateful to this band, who
gave their services for the occasion,
and who had disagreeable trip ov-
er bad roads to meet the engagement.
There we're also visiting Woolmen
from Pointe Coupee. This was the
first time the Camp had had an un-
yelling, and the exercises were most
creditable. 1t is not generally under
stood that it is the custom of the or
der to mark the grave of deceased
members, the monument being fur
nished by the sovereign organization.
This attention is considered a part of
their obligation of Love, Honor and
Remembrance"
The present case is a signal proof
Of the good done by the fraternities.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Pet
rie was brought to the sanitarium
here, stranger, from Angola where
he had been employed. But though
stricken unto death, he and his Lit.
tie family found themselves among
friends. He was an Odd Fellow and
a Woodmen, and the local lodges
proved themselves brethren indeed,
to him and his widow. And now,
though year has elapsed and no
member of his family resides here
handsome granite marks his grave,
and so long as there is a Woodman
in West Feliciana that spot will not
miss an annual tribute of flowers.
