Description
A snow blockade has prevailed for two days and will not be lifted until Monday. The Soo road suspended all trains Thursday and the South Shore did the same Friday. No mail has arrived since Thursday and the Soo is again experincing a seige of its former days of exculsiveness, what it was some time shut off for weeks. It is said that the crews were in the snow on the Algoma branch of the CPR Friday.
