MORE TIME IN pTbTLMO SPOK-WE TRAIX WILL LEAVE AT LATER HOCK. Changes In Schedules Jnst Decided on O. R. & Become Effec tive Xext Sunday. One of the most Important changes In local time schedules made for some time was adopted by the O. R- & N. yesterday to take effect next Sunday. . PROMIXEXT PORTLAND WOMAN IS DEAD. Mrs. Laura May Howlett Powell. Mrs. Laura May Howlett Powell, widely known throughout the city, died at her home. 1730 Flsk street. University Park, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. She had been failing in health for three years, being afflicted with some disease of the heart which baffled medical skill. She is sur vived by a daughter, aged 8 years, and by her brothers. The funeral will occur tomorrow morning- from the undertaking parlors of F. S. Dunning, East Sixth and Alder streets. Train No. 4, leaving Portland for Spo kane, known as the Spokane flyer, which now leaves this city at 5 P. M.. will after Sunday leave at 7:30 P. M. The Importance of this change lies in the fact that passengers from Spokane and W'alla Walla will have in the one case two hours and 30 minutes longer to remain in this city and In the other one hour and 30 minutes. The train from Spokane, known as No. i. is to leave that city at the same time as at present, 7:30 P. M., but will arrive in Portland at 9:30 A. M-, Instead of 10 A. M., as at present Walla Walla sleepers will bo hooked on the 7:30 P. M.. train hereafter In stead of the train leaving at 6 o'clock, which, as referred to, will give passen gers more time la. Portland. MAXT JOIX SPOKANE JTXKET Winter Trip to California Extremely Popular In Interior. Reports received from Spokane Indicate that at least 200 persons will come to Portland with the Midwinter excursion planned by the Chamber of Commerce of that city. The schedule provides for departure from Spokane Fri day, February 6. and arrival at Portland the next day. Saturday will be spent In this city and Includes lunch at the Portland Hotel and dinner at the Com mercial Club, after which a reception will be held until 10:30, when the special train will leave for a trip to California. The Puget Sound excursion, booked for February 20, which is Intended as a "boost" for the coming Alaska-Tukon-Paclflc Exposition, has also been sche duled to Include a day In this city where a similar programme Is outlined as that for the Ppokane excursion. William Mc Murray said yesterday that when mem bers of the recent Walla Walla excursion returned to the Union Station to con tinue the trip south, nearly every one carried bundles of merchandise, indicat ing that considerable shopping had been deferred until their arrival here. Bridge Causes Inconvenience. Cars of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, that ordinarily cross the Madison-street bridge, have been diverted to Kast Water street on account of the draw on the Madison bridge getting out of order and failing to close so that cars could pass over it In safety. Trains from Oregon City and Cazadero stop at East Morrison and Kast Water streets, where for the pres ent transfer Is made. Passengers over the Sollwood, Mount Scott and Haw thorne avenue lines are provided with transfers at First and Alder streets to Grand avenue and Hawthorne, extra cars being provided to make the trip to and from that point. The tempor ary derangement of the Madison bridge Is causing much discomfort to passen gers, as the East Side transfer points are located In places not well provided with sidewalks. BLACK DRESS GOODS.

Are Purchasing Valu able Jforth End Tract. That full Information regarding the purchase of the tier of blocks from Hoyt street to the river and between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets cannot much longer be withheld from the public is the view taken by several prominent real estate dealers. That options have been secured on most of the property In the strip referred to Is firmly believed by many In the realty business and by others who have watched the proceedings from an puUlde view point. Three important pieces in the blocks the Zan Bros." lOOxlfiO, on the Bouth sldo of Lovejoy; Churchley Bros, quarter block at the southeast corner of Thirteen and Marshall, and the quar ter at Twelfth Bnd Pettj-grove. which belonged to H. Varwlg & Bon. are among those reported on the street yesterday as having been sold within the past few dava. Dom Zan. when asked about the sale of his holding, declined to discuss the matter, but did not deny that "some thing Is doing" In that quarter of the city. One of the rumors most frequently heard Is that the Milwaukee road is behind the movement to secure the strip, but no verification of these rumors can be secured. Another conjecture made In some- offices Is that the O. R. & N. Is the more probable purchaser .and plausi ble arguments are advanced to sustain this conjecture. Railroad representatives are absolutely dumb on the subject. Every one, even those remotely inter ested In the real estate business. Is agreed that the recent activity In warehouse sites farther to the westward can be accounted for in one way that lends credence to the reports of the Hoyt Willamette tier transaction that owners In that tract sell only when assured they can obtain other suitable sites for their business buildings, and that purchases or options made point to that fact, rf a railroad company, they say. is In this deal, the firms now occupying a number of the blocks involved naturally would prefer to remain In that vicinity. As against this point it is maintained by some dealers that a growing demand for warehouse and manufacturing sites is quite apparent and explains the activ ity through that reason. Whatever foundation there Is for the story of the big deal, operators in realty assert that these rumors have had a marked Influence on the market, but may result In clogging the whole pro ceeding if owners' of the portions of the strip not already tied up advance values to prohibitive figures.

ST. HELENS, Jan. 19. (Special.) On Friday, December 11. Robert Livingstone, an employe of the Northern Pacific, was murdered In his cabin at Reuben. Rob bery is supposed to have been the ob ject of the murder, as It was known he had money, and a considerable sum was found by the authorities when his room was searched. The Sheriff and his depu ties did everythting in their power to se cure a clew as to the identity of the mur derer, and at one time had considerable hope of success. A woman who kept a lodgllng-house at Gobie and a young man named Roy Malone were arrested as suspects, but the woman, after being detained in Jail here for some time, was liberated without any charge having been preferred against her. Malone is now In Jail awaiting the action of the tnrv ft t the Mav term of court on a charge of burglary. j No reward was offered Dy me county Court or by the corporation employers of the murdered man, and it Is not now probable the murderer will ever be brought to Justice. NEWSPAPER MAN MARRIED Charles M. Stow Weds Miss Marion Cook, of Irvingtoa. Charles M. Stow, member of the edi torial staff of The Oregonlan, and Miss Marlon Cook were married yesterday aft ernoon. The wedding, an Informal af fair, took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus M. Cook, In Irvlngton. Rev. Paul Rador, of the Hassalo' - Street Congregational Church, officiated.

Vandewater by William McMurray, the traveling passenger agent said that the Walla Walla excursionists were be ing handsomely entertained in California.
