MONTANA'S STORM
WORST IN 20 YEARS
Traffic DemoraIized When State Is
Covered by Blanket of Snow with
Low temperature
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 2S.-Montana
is in the grip of the worst storm to-
night in twenty years. Railroad traf-
fic is demoralized by huge drifts and
snoWslides and the situation is aggra-
waited by temperatures ranging from
20 to "a degrees below zero.
Mssoula reports that the storm
which has been raging for forty eight
hours throughout western Montana
without any sign of abating, is the
most severe of any within the mem
DRY of pioneers. The Northern Pa
cific and Chicago Milwaukee & ST
Paul railroads have abandoned the
movement of freight, traffic being
confined to moving local passenger
trains, which are from six to ten
hours behind schedule. A snowslide
today piled up the Northern Pacific
branch line to Wallace, Idaho, in
Arizona republican., 1916-01-29

pushed with all possible speed and
service will be started over this line
in about ten days if the river does not
rise so high as to interfere with the
work. The company has had two
plle-drivers on the job, one of which
was borrowed from the Santa Fe. OW-
ing to the fact that the latter road
was in need of the driver, the Arizona
Eastern returned it to the owners and
are building another of their own to
replace it. The country has been
secured in the past few days for large
piles and telephone poles and a large
number of the big fellows have al
ready been driven into place for the
new bridge.
Mr.. Scott reported Yesterday evening
that the company had about seven
hundred feet of track put out of COM
mission during the day just above
Florence by the change in the chan
mel of the Gila river. The track was
not lost, however for a big force of
men was present and recovered the
steel and ties. a new track is being
laid along the foothills to replace the
portion which was destroyed The
new line is being laid high and dry
and will probably not be disturbed by
any further meanderngs of the rest
less stream. The company is making
no effort to repair the damage at the
Aqua Fria on the Buckeye line, as all
of their energies are being bent tow
ard the repair of the more important
branches.
During the time the tracks and tele-
graph lines are in rather chaotic
condition, the. trains on the Florence
line of the Arizona Eastern are being
operated by telephone, which permits
telephone attachments to be placed on
trainmen to talk direct to the dis
patcher in this city.
Reports received yesterday from
Ray told of the fact that the Ray
& ella Valley road had been rather
hard hit by the recent flood and
that all ore shipments from that sec
ton will be stopped until further no.
tice Mineral Creek is said to he on
a rampage and has stopped over on
the railroad property.
All traffic on the Phoenix Street
Railway company's line to Glendale
was suspended yesterday, when the
waters from the flooded Cave Creek
covered the tracks east of Glendale to
a depth Of about q foot. The country
in the vicinity OF Mountain View, a
mile or so east of Glendale, was COW
cred with water, and at one point the
track was partly washed out. and dam
age amounting to nearly $500 has al
ready been done. Yesterday afternoon
one of the interurban cars on the line
while trying to make the trip to Glen
dale became stranded jin the deep wa
ter, and another car had to be sent
from Phoenix to the rescue. On the
rescue car the motor was somewhat
higher and the water did not bother it,
and the passengers were rescued after
some difficulty. Efforts will be made
today to bolster up some of the dam
aged track in order that cars can OPP
crate The water will not interfere
with the cars so long as it does not get
into the motor boxes.

 HIGHEST. T|DE
Sundays Congregation at Central NJ. E. Church Mark Peak of Interest i'll Union Services of Mcssrs. Price and Guicc

The second week of the union revi- val at the Central Methodist church. reached high tide Sunday. At the morning hour notwithstanding the threatening weather, the house began to fill up early and by eleven o'clock a congregation that taxed the capacity of the building had assembled The chorus choir was at it's best and the singing was perhaps the best the city has ever known in any evan selistic campaign.
 MT Guice, the director of the music assisted by the orchestra and the splendid pianist led the congregation in q half hour of worship in song.
 The sermon of Mir. Price was on "JudGment must begin at the house of God" using as his text, "Who is on the Lords side, let him come to me and for fifty minutes he led his hearers with him in the exposition of a most heart searching and soul stirring dis course.
 At three o'clock there was d mass meeting for young men and women, children and teachers. >he first of a series of like services which will be held during the week. At this service MT. Guice who has given much study to childhood and youth and has espe- cialy trained himself for this field of work delivered most impressive ser mon from the text "The wages of sin is death,' illustrating it in a most inn presSiVe way.
 'Nba s.Tnrl ,f these ,a,.,-i1ae children will be held at four o'clock Tuesday afteIloon at which time Mr Guice will give the other side of the lesson, The gift of God is eternal life
 The evening service was the largest in attendance of the meeting thus far, at least one thousand people were talk en care of by the ushers of the church many chairs, other than those already rented were brought, many stood, oth CTS sitting on the steps of the plat form and many were turned away.
 About one hundred people were in the choir
 The auditorium Was reserved for men, and especially lodge men and the sermon was one that was espe- cially adapted to men, The evaneel- ist was at his best as for one hour he drove home to heart and mind the fact that the church of God is the one organization to which all men shoul, give their earnest and heart loyalty
 There will be no service today as Monday is rest day but on Tuesday at 2:30 the services will be taken ul | again and each afternoon and evenin: during the week.
