Show NO EQUIPMENT FOR THE NORTH COAST LIMITED ST. PAUL, June 0. For tho first timo in mauy months tho North Coast Limited, the prido of tho Northern Pacific Pa-cific railroad, failed to leave St. Paul today. The reason was two-fold. There was "no equipment with which to make up a train, most of it being stalled on the wrong side of tho washout district in Montana and there being no prospect of getting a train through to Spokane, Portland and Seattle if a train had been made up. Tn consequence all the passengers who were to have taken the train were transferred to the Northern Coast train, leaving about the same time. According Accord-ing to reports received at the Northern Pacific office today the entire valley of the Hell Gate river, between Missoula Mis-soula and Garrison. Mont., is reported under water. Jt is understood that most of the towns in the valley are flooded, and the people have boon compelled com-pelled to take to the hills. No loss of life has been reported. |
