STORM CONTINUES:
NO TRAINS in OR OUT
Very Little Damage Compared With Snowfall so
Far Reported; Many Slides in San Juan

mers Attempt to Reach Town

While only few flakes of snow
have fallen in Durango since last
evening, hard storm continues to
rage on Cumbres. This morning a
veritable blizzard had Chama in its
grasp.
Snow is falling in Silverton this
afternoon.
Superintendent McGraw of the
Fourth division of the Rio Grande is
in Chama to direct railroad opera
tions as soon as the weather clears.
No futher effort will be made to open
the range until the storm ceases. A
work train will be started out on the
Silverton branch as soon as weather
conditions warrant.
The only passenger train that left
Durango this morning was the Red
Apple and it is a question whether
it will reach Pennington, the ter
minus of the road, as a land slide
is reported on the way. At $3.50 the
train had not reached Aztec.
This morning General Superintend-
ent w. d. Lee with a snow plow, flan-
ger, four engines and 25 workmen
Tstrated out to open the Southern. At
2 o'clock the force reached Fort Lew
is station on the mesa. AT $3.50 this
afternoon they were bucking snow
between that point and Hesperus, with
fair prospects of reaching the sta
tion before night.

After 2s hours of thrilling expert
ences and wearisome delays the snow
bound passengers on the Silverton
branch reached Durango in safety.
The train left Silverton Thursday at
noon with 30 passengers and so work
men on board. A hard storm was
raging.
All went well until mile post ATT,
the scene of an old slide was reach
ed. Two days before this had been
cleared away, but the high wind had
drifted the snow to such a depth the
train was caught, unable to run for
ward or backward. For an hour and
,l5 minutes the force labored to open
the road. Suddenly small slides
started down the mountain side and
in few moments one larger than
the others practically buried two of
the outfit cars and coach contain
ing II passengers. Snow was piled
on all sides, but the terror stricken
passengers miraculously escaped with
out injury.
The workmen. meanwhile. had sue
ceeded in making path for the en-
gines. These were uncoupled from
the train and run down the track for
a quarter of mile to clear the
road and incidentally survey condi-
tons down the line. With night com.

running. To lessen the danger, see

BEING Miserable

None Of us is exempt from pain.
Suffering is the inevitable portion Of
humanity. The strong know that it
makes for growth and accept it
grimly. doggedly, bravely or cheer
fully, as their natures demand. Only
the weak whimper and whine and
force other people to help them en-
dure their individual portions of
pain. -
No one has a right to insist that
anyone else bear what ought to be
personal to the sufferer.
1t doesn't help anyone to harp on
his pain. 1t gives no relief, but
rather keeps the mind Of the sufferer
focused on his unhappiness. That,
however, is not the point of my little
talk.
What | am considering is the folly
OF gloating over your own unhappi-
ness, parading it before the rest Of
the world and by so doing making
yourself a nuisance and a bore.
Make up your mind, it you are the
sort of person who talks but of his
sufferings, that you are getting to be
the sort of person who glories in his
martyrdom. But you are likely to
be alone in your glory and to make
Of yourself nuisance and q bore to
the rest of the world.
