ON THE MACKAY LINE

The first day of last week the train
made q successful trip to Mackay
and back. Tuesday it went as far
as mile post No. 3S, three miles be-
yond Taber and lodged fast, where
it remained until this week. A snow
pillow and crew of 60 laborers from
Pocatello, were sent out in hurry
and late in the night got the pas
senger part of the train free and
brought it back to Blackfoot. In the
meantime the Mackay crew had the
responsibility of feeding their
charges. They brought food from
Taber, carrying it mile in the pro-
cess. They had a large brew of hot
coffee made up and all picnicked in
style. TO add to the excitement the
baggage car caught fire, but was
quickly quenched and made safe.
During the week the snow plow
aud rotary both attempted to rescue
the freight cars at Furey, but the
heavy gales of wind were SO efficient
at filling in behind these plows with
soft, wet snow that they themselves
were almost stalled. One of the ma
1coned cars contained fine herd OF
pure bred bulls, belonging to Clay
Vance, president of the Idaho Cattle
G. Horse Growers association, and
the animals would probably have per-
ished had not another car luckily
contained baled hay.
