Roads in desperate fight
Butte Montana June 13 The break in the Oregon Short Line at Buxton six miles south of Silver Bow was repaired at noon yesterday and traffic on that line has been resumed. The Northern Pacific grappling with a washout on the divide a few miles east of Butte cannot operate until today at best.
