All raflroad and highway traffic from Casper to points west of here was at a stand- still today as the result of bridge and track washouts 4nd indications today were that nor- mal conditions would not be restored on highways for three days while one railroad at least will require three weeks to put its track in re- pair, The Yellowstone highway to the natfonal park will not be passable at Bonneville for three days, reported at the district office of the state highway department here, while the Birdseye pass road has also been closed by a washout at Teapot, it was on this side. The towns isolated from traffio with Casper include Shoshon!, Bonneville, Riverton, Lan- der and Thermopolis. ‘With five bridges washed out and miles of track torn up as the result of terrific cloudbursts, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rafiroad this morning faces three weeks of repair rk~before any train service can be given between Thermopolis and Arminto, a distance of 75 miles.

Two bridges went out betwesn Waltman and Shoshoni and the track was washed out {n numerous places.
