freight on the road at the present

come down the Snake river cut-off
for a long time, and where 'double
headers' were a common occurrence.
no wsmall trains with one engine'are
all that is required to handle the
traffic.
"The weathjer at Hunt's la about

ner as to be reached as conveniently
as practicable by the carrier with
out dismounting from the vehicle or
