Show uu SLIDES BLOCK TRAFFIC. Provo, Jan 16. The heavy rains of yesterday and today have temporar ily stopped railroad traffic through Provo canyon Yesterday the section men were kept busy removing rocks and dirt from the track, and last night a big mudslide near Helselt s compelled the Heber train, which went up in the morning, to back down to the Provo yards. The company com-pany expects to have the obstruction cleared away by midnight, but if the rainy weather continues other slides are likely to occur. About noon today a big snow-slide came down from the north side of the canyon at Ferguson's where the slide came down about two weeks ago. It is about the size of the former slide covering the track for about 400 feet to a depth of fifty feet. It will take several days to clear the right of way of the snow. |
