High waters last week nearly receded but the Hear river remained above banks near Cokeville.

Washouts west of Fossil and in Nugget Canyon left tracks six feet underwater in places. Superintendent Manson and Trainmaster Hosted oversaw repairs with many extra workers, aiming to restore the line by week’s end, as travel remained slow and schedules behind. The notice ends with an ad for 5c counters at Kem Hardware.
