TRAINS RACK ON SCHEDULE
Charlie Nelson, Depot Agent in Fal
mer, informs us that thu track has
been all clear for several d:ys be
tween here and the mines. For a
few days la-.t week trains could not
make thu run to the mines because of
bad sli&os of mud on the tracks be
tween here and Moose Creek. The mud
v;as three feet deep for a two-mil
stretch, Mr. Nelson stated. It was
difficult to rurnovo because it was
so seft and soupy that dredges conic
hardly pick it up and get it of.: r,i
tracks before it all ran out of r.he
scoops.
