 NEAR FAITH, S. D.
LINE IS ORDERED OPENED
It Must Push Through Drifts Blizzard Follows Blizzard
 for Weeks.

Mobrdge, & 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 Mobrdge to Faith, s. D., if it takes every locomotive on the sys- tenn 10 push a rotary blow 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 message of any kind has come from the town. Faith is on a branch line twenty miles south of Mobridge.
 On December 25 heavy snow fell and DO effort was made to run train over the line for several days. When half way to Faith the train that was finally sent out got stuck in a cut flied with snow and was unable to go forward or to return here. A relief train was sent out and this got stuck. A rotary blow 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 blow was sent out, it had herd work get. ting back to Mobridge. One locomo- tive was forced to melt SHOW for use In the boiler.
 On January 6 fifty men with shoyels were set to work in an attempt to res cue the rotary plow. When within three miles of it another blizzard came along and filled the cuts which they had shoyeled clear. Tine road finally sent to the mountains for it's most powerful rotary blow, with which an effort wiz be made to break the blockade.
 The citizens of Faith are not suf- fering, as they are supplied with pro visions and fuel.
 Al present the branch train, two locomotives and a rotary blow are snowbound out on the line, with no prospects of release untll the big blow from the mountains arrives.
