Carrying Cattle

Everything is running in railroad
circles just now and the shipment OF
live stock has been resumed over the

two cars Of cattle ard two of sheep
were sent out from Minden and this
afternoon the train went up to the
valley after niue cars more of cattle,
which will be sent right on over the
Southern Pacific to the big markets.
The fact that cattle are being ship
ped means that no difficulty is antic-
ipated in getting over the tracks with
out delay, for live stock is the most
dangerous perishaOle cargo that is
handled and the railroad would not
accept shipments unless it knew to
a reasonable certainty that the stock
would go right along to its destina-
