At least a week of settled weather will be neceaaary to get trains through on many of the reads in the far north west.

It is eaid thai during Friday and Saturday the blizzard was of such intcncity thai no object could be seen ten fee' away , for the driving snow and wind was so fierce that It not only drifted the new-fallen snow , bat licked up the old that had been packed upon the ground for weeks , hurlai ! ; it in fine and blinding particles through the air. Tha ri tilings & Dakota railroad has bbtsn blockaded almost since the first of winter. At Mountain Lake , about n I * ny between Sioux Oitj and St. Paul , a train has been snow bound since February L They had been almost rescued , when S&turday'e storm came , t > nd now there is no hope of getting them out for a week. The twenty-five passengers , among them Gen , Cook , sent a sot of caustic reso lutions to the managers of the Chicago , St. Paul & Omaha company , condemn ing them for Imbecility , incompeteucy and inhumanity in not raising the blockade. The reply of Supt. Winter was that the company had done its beat , and It was perhaps providential that the snow-bound trim could not leave Mountain Lake , otherwise the present storm might have canght then in the open prairie , whore relief could not reach them.
