ST. PAl'U Minn., Msrch 18. Neither of
the transcontinental lines has ss yet suc
ceeded la clearing its rosd of ths great
heaps of snow under which the tracks weirs
buried by last week's bllszard. Advices
received at the Northern Faclflo offices In
this city last bight were to the effect that
the snowplows working east and west from
Bismarck and Jamestown were within sight
of each other and that It nbw seemed pos
sible that trains would bs sgaln running
tonight. But the officials bavs met with so
many mlehaps in their efforts to get a clear
track that they will not make any definite
statement as to the resumption of trafflo
anil trains are actually moving. , It waa
thought last night that ths road would bs
clear by this morning, but accidents to
and derailment of the gigantic .rotary plows I
served to delay the work. I
Tne ureat Northern officials also say mat
mey nops to nave ineir trains running oe-
fore morning, but they make no positive
promise to that effect.
The Soo-PaclOo' road, which also Is a suf
ferer from ths effects of ths storm, la task
Ing a great effort to reopen traffic, but" has
only partially succeeded. ' No reports have
been received as to ths situation upon the
Canadlaa Pacific lines, which Were blocked
for several hundred miles.
The loss of life and property caused by
the storm la still largely a matter of ebb
lecture. But Ave authentic cases of toes of
human life have so far " been reported,
There are rumors that there have been Uvea
lost among .the new aettlers, but these lack
confirmation. The percentage of loss to
live stock upoa the ranges Is fsr from.be-
ing accurately known. Estimates range
from I to 60 per cent and .it will be. soma
days before anything like accurate figures
can be obtained.
It Is estimated that the losses to ths
transcontinental railroads will amount to
vary nearly $500,000. Thl takes into con
slderatloa only ths actual loss to the roads
on account of perishable freight and the
cost of clearing the roads. The roads will.
of course, suffer from the loss of passsn
ger traffic, but just how heavily 1C la lm
possible to say. The movement of new Set
tlers was begun at least a month earlier
thli year than last and the blockade of
snow baa put a sudden check to th.ls trafflo.
