Damage by high water in the smaller streams of the Willamette Valley that were swollen by the recent rains is thought to be over. The water is falling in the Santiam, Molalla and the Clack amas, where damage to railroad bridges whs reported Wednesday night. Only a few hours after the Southern Pacific bridge at Jefferson went out Wednesday night, repair crews were set to work building a temporary structure that It Is lioped will bo completed within a week and will allow the passage of trains. The work waa started by Chief Engi neer Boschke, of the Harriman lines, who went to Jefferson early yesterday morn ing. With him went U. T. Forsytlie, bridge engineer for the Harriman lines, and I C. McCoy, superintendent of bridge construction. Part of the bridge still stands and will be used with the temporary work until the structure can be rebuilt. Meanwhile freight and passengers are being hauled by the Southern Pacific over the Went Side division. Fassenger and freight trains are being operated between Portland and Jefferson on the main line, and schedules at Portland remain about the same, with the exception that the Cal ifornia trains arrive here an hour late, owing to the time lost in transferring at Albany. Heavy Grade a Handicap. The heavy grade on Fourth street Is a handicap to the operation of the heavy California trains, and yesterday four lo comotives were necessary to haul the Overland to the top of the Fourth-street hill. An order wae issued by the South ern Pacific yesterday accepting freight subject to delay and at the owners' risk, deliveries will be made to all points as last as conditions will allow. The other bridge on the Southern Pa cific's main line, which was threatened Wednesday night the Molalla River bridge near Canby, is out of danger. Trains are now being operated over it. The bridge on the Sprlngrield branch near Crahtrec is being repaired with all pos sible speed. It is not known how soon trains can be run over it. Meanwhile, Southern Pacific trains, are using vie Cor vallis & KttKtern tracks from Scio Junc tion to Albany and thence back to Leb anon and Springfield. The bridge across the Abitpia between Pilverton and Mt. Angel was damaged by freshets in that stream and It was not reported safe up to last night. No Trouble on O. V. P. Reports given out yesterday 'by the en gineering department of the Oregon Water Power At Railway Company were to the effect that the company's bridge across the Clackamas River near Oregon City is as strong as ever, notwithstand ing the loss of several of the bents which supported it. Freight and passen ger service was maintained yesterday as usual and as the stream Is falling, no further damage is expected. At other j'oints on the O. W. P. lines, some slight damage was done to tracks by the heavy rains, but trains were not delayed. At the new power dam on the Upper Clackamas a large volume of water was pouring over the top. Officials of the company said last night "that as no re orts of damage to the dam had been received, it was presumed the structure was In no danger. The damage to the Southern Pacific by the freshets will amount to thousands of dollars. The Hoods came at an unfor tunate time, for they found bridges being rebuilt and In no condition to resist un usually high water, as they were sup ported by piling. The new steel bridges were not yet on their uiers. rOWEU DAM IS TIIKEATKXED High Water In Hood River Washes Out Kailroud Tracks. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Nov. 8. (Special.) Swollen by the heavy rains of the last few days, the Hood River threatens to do considerable damage to dams and railroad property along its banks. A section of the Mount Hood Railroad track has been washed out, rendering it unsafe for traf fic, and no trains were run over the line today from this city. The scene of the trouble is at the dam of the Hood River Klectrlc Light & Power Company, which, It i feared, may go out. ? A gang of men has been working to stive it since late yesterday afternoon, fla.iing at the ta?k all night. They were replaced with another force of men today, which Is trying to do What it can to strengthen the structure. The overflow of the high water at the dam caused the washout on the railroad, which passes within a few feet of it, and has under mined the track. Should the dam go out, the city will be in darkness for the rest of the Winter, as it Is not thought possible to repair it at tills season of the year. Kiver Is High at Salem. BALKM. Or.. Nov. 8. (Special.) The re cent rains caused a rise of about ten feet In the Willamette River at this place, but. strange to say. there has been little effect on creeks In this vicinity. The rain was evidently not so heavy in this part of the valley as it was in the foothills and mountains, for the mountain streams are the ons that are flooded. The water is now at 12 feet above low mark at Salem. No damage has been done here. PITCHER MUST EXPLAIN Colonel's Criticism of Xegro Troops Indorsed by Others. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. S. Acting under instructions from President Roose velt, the War Department today wrote Colonel William U. Pitcher, of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, caiiinR for an expla nation of his reported criticism of negro troops. He wilt be given a reasonable time to respond to this official communi cation. There Is reason to believe that Booker T. WashiitKon Is at the bottom of Cqlonel Pitcher's troubles, thoueh this cannot be established definitely. Still. It is known that at a conference President Roosevelt had with Washington, last week, the ne gro educator earnestly besought him not to dismiss the negro companies involved in the Browneville riot, the President re fusing to listen to the appeal. There are officers in the Army who con sider that the President has been too se vere on Colonel Pitcher, an1 entertain the same views that Pitcher expressed. I j ney oeueve me ntKrura wnu ate now in I lie Army nave uegenerateu irum muse who served up to the time of the Philip pine insurrection. Officials are hiding the fact as much as possible, but neverthe less it is true that the Filipino. detest the black soldiers, and that in order to prevent trouble, it has been necessary to station the colored regiments in the Moro country, where the feelings of the inhab itants are not considered. SOLD1EHS BACK VP PITCIIEIt Hound Kohin Being Siffiied by Fort Sheridan Garrison. CHICAGO, Nov. 8. Army officers at Fort Sheridan are roiled and fear trouble at the fort as a sequel to President Roosevelt's criticism of Colonel AVilliam Ij. Pitcher regarding his reported inter view as to stationing negroes at the fort. Officers, though expressing themselves cautiously, take the same view of the situation as the men at the garrison, who without exception say they fitand ready to support Colonel Pitcher to the limit. , The men gathered In small groups about the fort during the day. Karly In the forenoon a "round robin,'.' pledging sup port to Colonel Pitcher, and indorsing his sentiments, was in circulation. Offi cers attempted to trace it. but .none of the soldiers were found who would ad mit having signed it. A representative of the paper who re ported Colonel Pitcher's remarks says that the only things not reported verba tim were some of the Colonel's strongly expressed statements that would not look well in print.

WHAT would social life be without those little fads and fancies that make life so much worth living. Golf, tennis, whist. ping-pong, polo, yachting all these things have had their days of fashionable popularity and are yet popular, for that matter. But a brand new fad is now the rage of Oak street society and its popularity is in creasing daily. It is a delightful little pastoral game known as "breaking bould ers." It bears a striking ' similarity to golf, except that there Is less walking and a single series requires a period of from five days to a year. Kelly's Butte is the fashionable center of- the game and here notables of the upper Oak street world may be seen day after day pounding gleefully away at huge stones with heavy hammers. The game is by some odds the most vigorous of the various outdoor athletics and builds up muscle and imparts a fine vigor to the system after the exhausting demands of social life. The new fad has such peculiar fascination for many of the players that they have arranged to spend months at Kelly's Butte. Naturally, the question of superiority In playing has been aroused and society is planning a big championship tourna ment to decide the question at an early elite. Some enviable records' have al ready been made. Mr. James Hill, the famous high-ball champion, reduced a cubic yard of sandstone to gravel in '23 minutes flat, on Tuesday afternoon. This Is the season's record, thus far. although Mr. Joe Davis expects to reduce the record to 0 minutes flat during the next week. Messrs. Hill and Davis are playing the third weeks' course in a little six months' series. Unlike golf, tennis and the other so ciety favorites, breaking-boulders Is not open to all classes. It !s being made one of the most exclusive of all social functions and no one is admitted to the Kelly links except on direct S43jrS3x recommendation of fc52 Td such powers in the KV-WKS? Oak street works as ' ''vi??VriV Mr. Cameron. Mr. Sears or Mr. Frascr. The following young gentlemen of leisure were recommended yesterday by Mr. Cameron for a ten-day game at the links: J. C.

MANY FAVOR ADOPTION All Agree That Some Change Is Xeeded, but Tliey Are Not Yet Eully Persuaded That City Should Lay Pavements A stir has been created In the City Council and among the local street-paving companies by the written recommen dation from Mayor Lane that the present paving ordinances be repealed and that the city make its own hard surface Im provements. While there Is considerable doubt that the suggestion of the Mayor will be followed out. the policy suggested is not without its supporters In the Coun cil. It is merely another phase of the same old paving war, which Portland people have been witnessing for several years. It is certain, however, to alter the situation somewhat, and there is a possibility that the long drawn out strug gle will be brought to a sudden close by the adoption of the Mayor's suggestion. The fight between the Warren Con struction Company and the EVirber As phalt Company has had a prominent place in city affairs and the situation is well understood locally. There are two ordinances for laying hard-surface Im provements in Portland. One provides for the bitulithic pavement, which is the trade-marked product of the Warren com pany. The other provides for a bituminous macadam pavement, and it is under this ordinance that the Barber Company bids. The latter measure wa3 adopted with the Idea of giving free competition, but it Is held by some that it also Iras monopolis tic features. The suggestion made by Mayor Lane that both ordinances be repealed and both companies be excluded from oper ating here is now "In the hands of the street committee of the Council. The members of that committee are unani mous in admitting that conditions are not what they should be; but they are divided as to the proper remedy. Wrhcther present conditions wKl be main tained, a new ordinance prepared, or both repealed and the laying of pave ment left with the city, can only be de termined when the committee acts upon the Mayor's communication. Chairman Vaughn, of the streets com mittee, is not in favor of repealing the present ordinances until there is a cer tainty of getting something better in their place. Both Monopolies, Says Vaughn. "However, 1 am not satisfied with the present situation," he said last night. 'The bitulithic ordinance is certainly monopolistic and I believe that the bi tuminous macadam measure Is also. What is wanted- is an ordinance that will pro vide for desirable pavemcnT. and at the same time make bidding open to every company. We all want competition and the only question is how to get it. I am not sufficiently familiar with paving mat ters to suggest a remedy, but it seems to me that such an ordinance could be prepared." "I am heartily in favor of the Mayor's suggestion." said Councilman Kellaher. "We are certainly paying too much for our pavements now and I believe that both the present ordinances could be re pealed. My idea would be for the City lOngineer to prepare specifications for pavements, the work to be done under supervision of the city. Or. if perfectly open competition could be assured, bids might be received from all comers. I matchmaker, Mr. Cameron. Those pres I ent at the ceremony were: Mr. Sergeant "RttV Both PlYinm iir, Krta a pa in Oak street circles and have the best wishes of a large circle of friends. MR. EARNEST JASON HOYT. the veteran Oak street leader, is pos sibly the most expensively garbed man in the civilized world today. The price paid by him yesterday for 'a single pair of trousers was larger than most fashion able millionaires pay out on their whole year's wardrobe. In round figures Mr. Hoyt paid $625 for the apparel. It was not a strikingly handsome garment, either, but it chanced to meet Mr. Hoyt's fancy and with that flne disregard of mere vulgar money which characterizes the upper classes, the gentleman1 insisted upon appeasing; his artistic longings for the rainment. The Transaction was effected In a fashionable Oak street 1 apartment house on Tuesday evening. When Mr. Hoyt I in si ooservea tne trousers they were dis- piayea on tne nether limbs of another gentleman. With well-bred delicacy Mr Hoyt hesitated at broaching the subject of adeal with the owner. He considerate ly awaited the gentleman's withdrawal to bed and then cautiously removed the trousers from the foot of the couch. The question of a financial settlement did not come up until yesterday forenoon vuen vir. canteron, acting as agent for the owner, met with Mr. Hoyt. He said the intrinsio value of the apparel was -eally of no great moment and that Mr. Hoyt might con sider the account squared if he would ccept an invitation 'o spend a year at the Kelly, Butte Inks. - Now. Mr. Hoyt's time is worth money. Agricultural and railroading Interests are constantly seeking the service of active men and only recently Mr. Harriman endeavered to secure him to effect certain road improvements and extensions at the fabulous salary of $624 per year or $2 per working day. Hence it is obvious that when he accepted Mr. Cameron's Invita tion, growing out of the wearing-apparel incident, the loss to him" was fully $624 and thus the trousers may be said to have cost him that amount. Plebeian philosophers might be In clined to see In such extravagance a similarity to .the riotous luxury proceed ing the fall of Rome. But Mr. Hoyt can well afford It and for that matter this is only a trifling expenditure as compared with tjie time in Walla Walla when he expended $1300. In a similar manner, for a pair of cowhide boots. if believe the Mayor is right, however, and that both companies should be kept out of the field and the city do its own pav ing." "I have hardly. made up my mind as to the best policy," said Councilman Wal lace. "I do not like present conditions because everything seems to be monopo listic. It would probably be a good tiling to do away with the present ordinances and see if we cannot get something bet ter." Dan J. .Malarkey. attorney- for the Barber Asphalt Company, severely criti cizes Mayor Lane for his communication to the Council. He asserts that the accu sations made apply directly to the methods employed by the Warren Con- j struction Company, and that the cor poration he represents should not have been included. "It Is an outrage for the Mayor to make the statements he did and apply them to the Barber Asphalt Company," he said last night. - "No one knows bet ter than the Mayor that we have pur- sued a straightforward course in our dealings with the city, and the charges which he makes are all based on the operations of the Warren Construction J Company. He spoke of the unscrupulous. dealings of the representatives of these companies. Oscar Huber and myself are the representatives of the Barber Com pany here and we resent these state ments personally. Malarkey Makes Defense. "We have been striving for an oppor tunity to bid in open competition here, and that is all we ask. The present bitulithic ordinance is a complete mon- opoly and its repeal is the remedy for present conditions. The Warren Con struction Company has resorted to every strategy to maintain its present mon opoly, and it is through it that discredit has been thrown on all paving firms." Neither Manager Hoyt nor Richard Montague, attorney for the Warren Con struction Company, would state that company's side of the controversy last night. ..icy deny, however, that they have resorted to collusive bidding, as has been charged, and deny that the Warren Construction Company had any thing to do with the submission' of the P. O. Solon bids, which are at the bot tom of the present trouble. Although the two ordinances are now in effect, no contract has yet been awarded under .the bituminous macadam ordinance. Several such improvements have been initiated, but in each case the Barber Asphalt Company has been underbid, either by Solon, whose identity has not been revealed, or by the Lister Construction Company, about which the streets committee of the Executive Board has been able to obtain very little Information. Because of the uncertainty as to the standing of the bidders the com mittee has so far refused to award any contracts. All hard surface improvements in Port land are being made by the Warren Con struction Company, under the Bitulithic ordinance. The streets upon which It is now working, or for which Improvements of this character have been authorized, are: Burnside. from Sixth to Washing ton: First. Columbia to the Steel bridge: Park, from Washington to Salmon; Sec ond, from Madison to Montgomery: Sec ond, from Morrison to Madison; Twenty fifth, from Johnson to Savler; Russell, from Williams to Union, and Trinity Place, from Washington to Everett. BIG SWILL TRANSFER WASHINGTON' & OREGON LUM BER CO., VANCOUVER, SOLI). New Concern, the Pittock & Lcadbet ter Lumber Company, Takes Over Property Big Timber Purchase. The transfer of all the holdings of the Washington & Oregon Lumber Company of Vancouver. Washington, was eonsum ated yesterday and a new organization. the Pittock & Leadbetter Lumber Com pany, comes into the field as the pur chaser and also signalizes its advent by the purchase of about 5000 acres of tim ber land from the Skamania Logging Company of Clark and Skamania Counties. This timber lies contiguous to the Wash ougal River and Includes four logging camps with full equipments, logging dams and complete organization for an exten sive business. About 10.000.000 feet of H.ts go with the transaction, which insures for the mill a good supply of sawlogs. The recent rains filled the booms to over flowing with logs. , The mill company also operates two camps on the Yacolt Railroad. which dumps the logs in its pond, giving it all dimensions for special order stuff. This big transfer means much for Van couver and insures for that city one of the finest plants on the Coast. Heavy purchases of real estate have been made recently for the new mill, including the big shipyard where the Portland dry dock was build. The president of the new company is H. L. Pittock who is interested in many mill and" timber properities, F. W. Lead better is vice-president, A. L. Comings, treasurer and general manager. They are also the owners of the slock in the corporation., which with its fine mill prop erties, t'lep water, rail facilities and splendid timber holdings mark this as one of the great properties of the Coast. A GREAT SALE ON MEN'S Pure Worsted Suits, $25 Values at $15. The policy of the Brownsville Woolen Mill Store' Is to give the greatest values possible in Men's Clothing. We are al ways planning- to give our customers something special in the way of price concessions. By doing this we are build ing up an enormous business with reli able people who want a dependable place to trade. This season, for the first time, - we placed on sale. Oregon Buckskin Suits at $15. They took like wildfire, hundreds of pleased customers were added to the roll of this store. This has all been very well for the Buckskin Suits, but It is to the detriment of our higher-priced Wor sted Suits. People did not want to pay $25 when they could get so good a suit for J15. ' We now find the Buckskins running low and we still want to give our customers a great Suit for $15. To cto this, we have taken four lines of our. highgrade Wor sted Suits and have cut the price from $25 regular price to $15 special price. The patterns are dark silk mixed goods, black unfinished worsteds, fancy "blue serges, small checks and plaid worsteds: they are suitable for a good business or a stvllsh dress suit.

Mor rison,, of No. 1923 Carson street, South Side, Pittsburg. Pa., "I look a cold which turned into the grip. This trouble left uie all ruu down. I was thin, had backache niuch-of the time, had no ap petite, my stomach was out of order and I felt nervous aud uustrung. "While I had the grip I had a doctor, but I really suffered nnjre from the con dition in which the influenza left me than! did from the disease itself. I felt generajly wretched mid miserable and the least exposure to cold would make nie worse. I couldn't seem to get any better until I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 very quickly noticed a benefit after I began taking them and they restored me to good health and strength. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a wonderfully good medicine. Thanks to them I am now in fine health and have had uoretnm of my former troubls. I recommend the pills to everyone who is ailing and take every opportunity to let people know how good they are." Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs. Morrison because they actually make good, red blood. When the blood is red and healthy there can be uo debility. The relation between the blood aud nervons system is sneh that the pills have a very decided action npou the nerves and they have cured many severe nervous disorders, such rs pnrtinl pa ralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. Vitus' dance, that have not yielded to ordinary treatment. Their don'ole action, on the blood aud ou the nerves, makes them an ideal tonic.
