THE MORNING 0&EGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1907. OF ALONG COLUMBIA Snow and Flood Block Trans portation and Menace Stock Industry. GENERAL FEED SHORTAGE Small Loss of Stock Reported, but It Is Feared That Cattle and Sheep Will Suffer Near . John Day. THE DALLiES. Or.. Feb. 5. (Special, . delayed in transmission.) The snow storm of the past three days, which has been general throughout this section, early yesterday morning turned Into a downpour of sleet, continuing until mid night. There is now seven inches of fine hall crusting 30 Inches of snow already on the ground hard enough to bear up pe destrians. The sleet storm prevailed a far south as.6haniko, where some rain fell, although the snow there is only a foot and a half-inch deep. The Chinook of last week melted prac tically all the snow on the high plateau In Wasco and Sherman Counties.- There is no loss of stock reported from any section of this country, although feed Is running short and apprehension is felt concerning the continuance of the storm. Flockmasters In and about Shaniko are moving to feed in Sherman County. There hay is plentiful In stacks but drifted snow has made it difficult to access. Travelers from Condon who have come from the north fork of the John Iny tell of deep snow and depleted stacks among the stock-farms In that vicinity with no reserve available. More or less loss of stock In that section appears to be imminent. The Dufur and Shaniko Railroads are still out of commission. The main line of the O. R. & N. Company east of here is open, trains arriving several hours late. Sunday's westbound trains left here Monday morning for Bonneville, at which point. If reached, a transfer to river steamers was planned. The last PorU land train to reach The Dalles came in Saturday night. The main obstruction In the West is between Horse Tall and Multnomah Kails, where a rotary snow plow Is at work on the west end of the blockade. Another rotary brought from La Grande began on the east end of the drifts this morning. The sleet storm bas increased the task of clearing the blockade a hundred-fold along the Co lumbia between Wyeth and Bridal Veil where It has poured off the mount ainside like tons of shot. The dlflculty Is aggravated by a dearth of motive power, due to the stalled engines In the drifts. This city is full of waiting strangers, the ma jority westbound, although no East ern trains have left here since Wed nesday. The weather has cleared. In dicating a slight thaw today. The fuel situation is .becoming alarming. With the blockade west, the wet slabwood that has been arriving by rail is now cut off. Coal dealers have been unabie to suply their customers, as the quantity procurable from the mines has been less than one-third of their orders. The lumber dealers are now selling cedar posts Instead of cord wood, at ten cents per post. 1RAIX BLOCKED BY SLIDES. l'afctengers Are Kept 24 Honrs With out Food. HOOD RIVER. Or.. Feb. 6. (Special.) TDelayed In transmission.) The worst snow blockade that has occurred on the O. R. & N. In 20 years has kept all through trains from reaching Hood River for three days, and was the cause of train No. 5, with 300 passengers on board, being held between two snowdrifts 11 miles be low here since 2 o'clock yesterday. When near Wyeth the engineer saw a big slide ahead and stopped the train just in time to keep from running Into it. The train was started back toward Hood River hut had rone onlv two mile. when it encountered a slide that had taken place since the train had passed that point. The train was then kept run ning back and forth between the two slides to avoid being engulfed in snow, and was finally brought to a standstill near Wyeth, where it remained until this afternoon, when It was rescued by a ro tary snowplow, two engines and a big force of men. Passengers who are here tonight at the hotels at the expense of the railroad com pany are loud In their praise of their treatment bv both emnlovea and nfflclalj of the road, although they were forced to go without anything to eat from 2 o'clock yesterday until the same hour today. General Superintendent Buckley is look ing after their wants, and all are com fortably housed. On the train are a number of members of the Legislature who are anxious to get to Salem. Every effort is being made to get the road open, but It Is not ex pected that it will be possible to do so for several days. - OREGON CITY'S SAD PLIGHT Flooded by Rising River, but With out Water Supply. OREGON CITY. Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) The water In the Willamette has risen to such- a point that the city waterworks are shut down. Notices were posted this morning that the water would be shut off at noon, and remain shut off till the river had receded. The reservoir is full, but that will be held In readiness for pos sible fire emergencies, and no water at all Is flowing through the mains. The river has been steadily rising during the day, but the rise has not been so rapid as it was last night. The Crown Pulp and Paper Company has lost a kiln that was washed away, and it is re ported that the "Willamette Company will lose a quantity of pulp if the water comes higher. The O. W. P. Company has placed some freight cars on the bridge at the flouring mill to hold it down, and has ceased running cars to Canemah. Many sidewalks in the lower part of town are afloat. Rural mall car riers have been forced to give up their routes. The waters of the Tualatin River have risen during the day, and are pouring into the Willamette, swelling that stream. TRAINS BLOCKED AT SPOKANE City Cut Off From Communication With Coast. SPOKANE. Wash., Feb. . All direct railroad communication between Spo kane and ithe Pacific Coast was cut If today when traffic on the Nor. i hern Pacific was brought to a stand still by two washouts, one to the east tud the other to the west of Pasco. HAVOC STORM The Great Northern has been tied up for three days by bad snow-slides be tween Leavenworth and the Cascade Mountains. One passenger train is said to be almost burled in the snow, and three others are housed In by the slides. A (rain was made up at Leavenworth today which brought to Spakone all passengers who preferred coming back here and taking their . ances-on get ting to the coast over other roads. -.-hnAPS .ENOupKees.C CREST REACHED AT SALEM. River Goes Above 31 -Foot Mark, Xearlng Record of 1889. SALE Ms Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) The Willamette River reached its highest crest here at noon today. The flood passed the 31-foot mark, coming within a few feet of the highest record made 17 years ago. The river is fully a mile wide and there is a terrific current at the center of the stream. This afternoon a large mass of drift was washed against the west approach of the bridge, badly racking the bents and It is feared that this part of the structure may be carried away. The North Commercial-street bridge Is in a dangerous condition and the Yew Park carllne is rendered useless beyond Mill street, because of the back water up Mill Creek from the river. Several more families were forced to abandon their homes today. The river Is about at a standstill tonight and It will begin to fall about midnight. RIVER FALLING AT ' ALBANY. Water Street Is Flooded and Base .. "ments Are Filled. ALBANY, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) The Willamette has fallen two feet since noon and Is now receding rapidly. The highest point reached was 30.9 feet. Water street was flooded all day and ware house basements were Inundated. The water reached the floors of the offices of Westgate Brothers and the Oregon City Transportation Company. Employes ' of the Morning Herald were forced to go to their work In boats. The damage today was confined to the tearing up of roads, sweeping away of fences and breaking of telephone wires. So strong was the current at the north end of the Albany steel bridge that many trees were uprooted. DAMAGE DONE NEAR BOISE. Roads Washed Out and Dwellings Flooded In Idaho. BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 6. (Special.) (De layed in transmission.) Reports coming from widely separated points show that considerable damage was done by heavy rain that fell yesterday. Roads were Washed out at a number of points. In this city water from the hills caused much Inconvenience and some damage. At Mountain Home some dwellings were flooded, and the same condition existed at Nampa. The state road to Idaho City is washed out and travel is Interrupted. It rained steadily for 24 hours, being perhaps the most continuous downpour ever experi enced In this section. High Water In Yakima Valley. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Feb. 6. (Spe cial. ) The Northern Pacific is not run ning a train tonight. Everything on the road between here and Kennewick has been tied up since early this morning as a result of washouts and high water at points between Alfalfa, on the Yakima reservation, and a point three miles east of Klona. At one point beyond Prosser more than 100 feet of the roadbed was washed away, and for miles this side of Prosser on the Satus Flats the tracks have been surrounded by water. The Chi nook wind melting the snow is the main cause of the trouble. PRAISE FOR TRAIN CREW Benedictine Sister Tells or Work of Conductor and Brakemen. High praise for the generous treatment of passengers on the stalled train. No. 5, Is given the train crew by a Bene dictine sister who was on board and who requested, that her name be withheld. She said William Maher, conductor, and Samuel N. Lee and Oliver Kelcey, bra,ke men, as well as the porters, were untir ing in their efforts to relieve the condi tions as much as possible. Not only did the trainmen go without food that the women and children might be supplied, but they stayed up day and night to keep the train warm and also walked long distances over the snow to bring provisions to the passengers. "I was traveling with Mrs. Ella D. MacLaurin, of Boston, and left Arling ton Sunday morning for Portland," said the sister. "After being held at The Dalles for a while, the train went on to Hood River and then proceeded a few miles, when slides were found on the track ahead and It was impossible to go farther. The train was backed a short distance, when "slides were discovered in the rear and the track was blocked in both directions. "We stayed there from Monday after noon until Tuesday evening, when the track was cleared behind us and wo backed to Hood River. There were about 250 people on the train and none complained. All remained cheerful and all appreciated the kindness of the train crew. The conductor and brakemen stayed up all night to keep the fires going In the stoves In the cars, for the steam from the locomotive gave out. They also walked over the snow through the storm to bring us provisions. A destitute family in a nearby farmhouse was also supplied by the thoughtful trainmen." The officials of the O. R. & N., who were directing the work of clearing the line. General Manager O'Brien and Super intendent Buckley, were also praised by the sister. From others who were on the blockaded train It was learned that the sister her self proved a heroine, for she cared for the sick and supplied the helpless with food. In procuring provisions for peo ple who found themselves without means, she spent what money she had. She busied herself In caring for others dur ing the time that the train was stalled In the huge snowdrifts. Tailors Will Talk Shop,, NEW YORK. Feb. 6.

Grove, 23c MUSTAPP0IKTCH1EF Council Passes the Appropria tion Bill Over Veto. WILL FORCE MAYOR'S HAND Unless the Appointment Is Made No Salary Will Be Forthcoming for the Head of the Police Department. An Issue In the contention over the position of chief of police was forced yesterday by the Council when it passed over the veto of Mayor Lane the appropriation ordinance for the police department, in which no provision is made for the salary of chief. The Coun cil also passed a separate ordinance appropriating pay for a chief for a year on condition that a regular ap pointment to this position be made. It now devolves upon Mayor Lane either to appoint a chief or to leave In the office Captain Grltzmaeher or some other person who should have to serve for the pay of captain. Mayor Lane would not say last night which course he will pursue. As was expected, there was little support for the veto of Mayor -Lane. The ordinance became a law by a vote of 11 to 3, Councilman Kellaher being the absent member. The negative votes were by Councilmen Dunning, Sharkey and Vaughn. Councilman Rushlight, who originally voted against the ap propriation ordinance, explained the change in his vote on the ground that he believed that the ordinance cover ing the appropriation for a regularly appointed chief solved the difficulty. "The Mayor evidently thinks that the appropriation ordinance in its present form would hamper the department," Bald Councilman Wills, after Auditor Devlin had read the Mayor's message In which he had warned the Council "to have a care" how they cripple the service. "By this ordinance we pro vide for 22 new officers, do we not? And we agree to appropriate money for the salary of the chief when one shall be appointed. I certainly do not see how we shall harm the department. If the Mayor appoints a chief it would appear that the service will be strengthened." Without further debate the ordinance was passed over the veto. Its effect will be to cut off the salary of a fourth captain as well as of the chief, and these salaries will not be available for the month of February, although there are now four captains employed, and Captain Gritzmacher serving as acting chief. The ordinance appropriating the salary of chief under condition that such an official be appointed passed by unanimous vote. Two of the present city employes were left without any provisions for their pay by complications -that arose over the Mayor's veto of the appropria tions for assistant superintendent of the police and fire alarm telegraph system and of an assistant lineman. These appropriations were vetoed by the Mayor on the ground that no such positions exist, the duties being per formed by linemen in the police de partment. The Council sustained the veto by a vote of 6 to 8. Favoring the veto Councilmen Dunning, Mene fee. Rushlight, Sharkey, Vavghn, and Wills. Opposed Councilmen Annand. Belding, Bennett. Masters, Gray, Pres ton, Shepherd and Wallace. The ways and means committee had submitted with its approval an or dinance creating '..he two positions named, which subsequently came up for passage. As the appropriation has already been overruled, however, its passage would be useless, and the or dinance failed to carry. As a result the two linemen have left their former positions with no provision for pay. The Council passed over the veto of the Mayor the appropriation for salary of the baillf of the Municipal Court. This appropriation failed to receive the indorsement of the Mayor for the rea son that the position Is now in litiga tion, a controversy over the appoint ment of the present incumbent by the Council having arisen between that body and the Mayor. Those who voted with the Mayor were Councilmen Rush light, Sharkey and Vaughn. Council man Kellaher was absent. CITY COCNXIL TO CONGRESS Would Permit Registry of Foreign Built Vessels.

The resolution declares that the ancient regulation that only American-built ves sels can be registered under the laws of this country has been a failure and that the amendment is Imperative. The resolution formulated by Council man Shepherd was submitted to the Coun cil with the approval of the committees on Judiciary and elections, health and po lice, and commerce, landing and wharves. An efTort will be made to obtain an in dorsement of the legislation from the Commercial Club and Chamber of Com merce, after which It will be sent to the Oregon delegation in Congress. The res olution follows: Resolved, That It is the sense of the City Council of Portland, Or., that an act passed by Congrem. December SI. 1792. and now num bered Section 4182 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, has miserably railed of ita purpose and Its effect la to cripple the Ameri can merchant marine, and we do sincerely be lieve that an amendment to said act is neces sary and imperative at this time, and we moat strongly recommend that said act be amend ed so as to grant registry to foreign-built vessels owned by citizens of the United States. and to that end we do urge the amendment of said act so as to read as follows: Vessels built within the United States, and belonging wholly to citizens thereof, and ves sels built In any foreign country but owned wholly by citizens of the United States, and vessels which may be captured In war by citi zens of the United States, and lawfully con demned as prizes, or which may be adjudged to be forfeited for a breach of the laws of the United States, being wholly owned by citizens, and no others, may be registered as directed by the laws of the United State." LICENSE BILL GOES OVER COUNCILMEN DEMAND COPIES OF GRAY'S ORDINANCE. Objection Delays Final Action on Measure Raising Retail Liquor License to 9800 Yearly. Because objection was made yesterday to final consideration of the $$00 saloon license by the Council, the ordinance In troduced by Councilman Gray was held over until the next meeting. The opposi tion to a vote upon the ordinance yester day came from those who declared that the liquor license committee should have furnished the members of the Council with copies of the measure for their con sideration. It was referred back to the committee with a request to provide all Councilmen with copies before the next meeting. New liquor legislation was introduced by Councilman Shepherd to the effect that liquor licenses of wholesalers, grocers and restaurants toe raised. These ad vances were Included In the original Shepherd ordinance, which was turned down by the committee, but omitted from the substitute ordinance of Councilman Gray. If passed, the new Shepherd ordi nance will raise the license of wholesale firms from 1400 to 1600; restaurants and grocers from $200 to $300. This measure was also referred to the liquor license committee, where it will probably be fur ther amended to Increase the liquor li cense of druggists by $100. It was expected that the Gray ordinance would be passed at the session yesterday, and the proceedings developed that there is little opposition to it. The rule that an ordinance cannot toe put to a vote on the day of its first reading If there Is objection was all that prevented its en actment. Councilman Sharkey led In the objection to the consideration, and he was suported by Councilmen Belding, Dunning and Menefee. Several who entered a pro test to the vote said that they would probably support the ordinance when it is brought up at the next meeting, tout that they desired exact copies of It in order to be certain of its terms. An amendment to the ordinance was passed providing specifically that it should not be construed to apply to other than saloons. The amendment was Intro duced by Councilman Gray, who said that the City Attorney was of the opinion that the measure might be Interpreted to limit the number of restaurants, grocers and wholesalers, whom it was not the In tention to affect. Besides raising the re tail license to $800, the ordinance limits the number of saloons to one for each 500 of the population, with the proviso that all saloons in operation March 31 may renew their licenses Indefinitely. BUILDING LAW'S AMENDED. Reinforced Concrete Structures Slay Rise to 12 Stories. The Council approved yesterday an amendment to the building ordinance limiting the height of reinforced con crete buildings covering less than a quarter-block, to 102 feet, to consist of not less than eight stories. Buildings 100x100 feet or larger may be erected 150 feet high and be of 12 stories. An ordinance was passed compelling the Southern Pacific Company to in stall gates on each side of its East First-street line at "the Intersection with East Morrison street and with Hawthorne avenue. The gates will be closed when trains pass, protectingthe heavy traffic on the two thoroughfares. The ordinance was submitted by Coun cilman Annand with the approval of the Southern Pacific officials. Anordinance was passed forbidding blasting within nine blocks of any school. The measure takes the place of a 10-block ordinance recently passed, which was found to shut down two quarries that are not considered objectionable. The nine-block limit will not permit of the operation of the quarry of the Portland Rock Company, complaint against which led to the original ordinance. , Mayor Lane's veto of the ordinance permitting the manufacture of cement brick was sustained with only the op posing vote of Councilman Shepherd. Building Inspector Spencer asserted that' tests of cement brick, manufact ured under th regulations of the ordi nance, had shown them to be inferior to common red brick. Blockade of 1884-85 Recalled Train Was Snowbound f Drift far Two Weeks Between The Dalles and Wyeth. HE complete demoralization of . the I main line of the O. R. & X. recalls to old railroad men similar snow blocades In the Winter of 18S4-&; when traffic was blocked for two weeks by heavy enow. H. S. Rowe was then general manager of the O. R. & N. and he personally directed the work of bucking the drifts along the river. At that time there were no rotary plows on the O. R. & N. line and the old shovel plows were in use. The work of clearing the tracks was a herculean one. which has not been equaled In recent years. A train was stalled during that storm between The Dalles and Wyeth and was In charge of Ed Lyons as conductor. Mr. Lyons Is now manager of the North ern Pacific Terminal Company. This train was held in the snow for two weeks. Provisions were brought to the storm bound passengers on hand sleds over the drifts from The Dalles. To makes matters worse, one of the RrsQFMTH A I 149 THIRD STREET lWfta?.uli Sk M. LfSLu ft.? PORTLAND'S BEST SHOE STORE passengers fell sick of what was believed to be smallpox and all were terror stricken. A newspaper man named How lett. In the employ of The Oregonian. who happened to be on the train, proved him self the hero of the occasion, for, to' quiet the fears of the passengers, he at once pronounced the case to be one of measles. He set in to care for the sick, as there was no doctor on board, and although he was not at all sure the Illness was not smallpox, he quieted the frightened pas sengers and aided In restoring the sick ones to health. The case' really proved to be measles and a small epidemic raged among the passengers. After that, Mr. Howlett gained the title of "Doctor." The present tleup of the road is the worst since the dense snows along the Columbia of December, 1884. During that Winter a snow storm raged along the Upper Columbia for 16 days. T0RRENS BILL NOT KILLED Senator Coshow Writes That Substi tute Is Introduced. Since the report that the bill of Senator Coshow, to amend the Torrens law, was killed In committee, he has writ ten to R. C. Wright thanking him for his interest In encouraging legislation In this matter, and saying that he has Introduced a substitute bill to provide the remedy Mr. Wright wants the act to cover. It seems that the judiciary committee In consulting with the examiner of titles was advised that some clerical errors in numbering some sections of the law might well be corrected at the same time. A new bill was therefore drawn to cover these minor matters and also to cover the subject embraced In the original bill drawn by Mr. Wright. This last matter was to give the court full power by decree to bar inchoate rights of dower or curtesy and to make all persons claiming or who might have such rights proper defendants In a Tor rens proceeding, except the wife or hus band of the applicant who must Join in the application to register Just as now. With this amendment the law. says Mr. Wright, will cover a matter not reached in any other statute on the books, with out depriving any persons of their Just rights. The present bill Is Senate bill 135. Introduced by Senator O. P. Coshow. and upon examination of it Mr. Wright Is satisfied with its provisions and recom mends that all friends of the Torrens law urge its prompt passage.
