Show and placed material at tho two cna of destruction with which to begin be-gin tho task of restoration. There are triumphs in tho war with the elements quite as glorious glori-ous as victories won on battlefields, and this is on of them. From all accounts, the Western Pacific has yet to do what the Southern Pacific people have done. The Gould road has 10 destroyed des-troyed bridges in Palisado Canyon and the roadbed is obliterated. There is scarcely a trace of the line in the gorgo through which the Humboldt river runs. It will be some time before tho full damage by tho floods in Nevada can be estimated. But now that the worst is over, there is cause for rejoicing that onco more the great artery of trade in the west, the Southern Pacific from Ogden to San Francisco, is again doing its part in carrying the stream of transcontinental traffic. AFTER THE BIG FLOOD. ' i General Manager W. H. Bancroft and Superintendent E. C. Manson have returned from the scene of the late floods on the Southern Pacific west of Ogden. J Those men are to be congratulated on the reopening of tho road. Reports received in Ogden at the height of the destruction were to the effect that trains would not be running earlier than April. The nearest date fixed was next Sunday evening. By what seems to have approached superhuman effort and by borrowing the power of adaptability, which is another word for genius, the directing heads on the great work of reconstruction, accomplished wonders. .For ten miles through a narrow, deep canyon the Southern Pacific was a mass of wreckage. The rebuilders tore out the debris, spanned the rushing waters and started trains through the flood district in less than a week after they had organized their forces HENRY ANDERSON TO BE JPEAKER El'Jr Honry Anocrson will he tin? xpeuker at Die Tabeiimclo Sunday aXK-rnoon.
