MOST Repairs Knshed, Trains to Be on Schedule Soon Tracks Still Soft, Caution Tsed- to Avoid Accidents. The tTaln situation in the Pacific North west la much better than It haa been for the last week. Now the railroad officials on all lines report the main lines clear, witlj tracks soft, however, on account of the excessive rains of the last few days. All roads are runninff trains a trifle be hind schedule on account of caution being used to avoid accidents. Southern Pacific lines suffered most on account of the floods, rains and washouts but now the main lines of that company are all open and repairs have been made at various points, so that, within a short time, traffic will be resumed. With the abatement of the rains the ground is hardening again, and hls:h waters are re ceding. Railroad officials believe the worst Is over and that with two more days of fairly dry weather no further floods need be expected. The most serious trouble on the South ern Pacific Is on the Corvallis & Eastern branch, where a number of washouts on the eastern end of the line will delay and tie up traffic for at least ten days. The Woodburn-Natron branch is still out of commission on account of a number of minor washouts, but It was stated at Southern Pacific headquarters last even ing that these troubles would disappear by morning. On the O. R. & N. the main lines are all open and traffic Is being carried on as usual. Caution, however, is necessary on account of solf tracks, and the trains are running more or less behind schedule. The Washington division suffered but lit tle, but the tracks have been softened considerably on the Oregon division. Norther Faciflo officials say they have experienced no difficulty in Washington, but that a washout In Idaho caused seri ous trouble. This has been repaired, however, and the trains are running through as usual, although behind sched ule. The same general condition is re ported on the North Bank Road of the S-. P. & S., although no washouts occurred. misft River had gone out. The passenger of three other Great Northern trains are still marooned between the Cascade tun nel and Tonga, 90 miles east of Seattle. All Great Northern trains between Se attle and Spokane are being routed over the Northern Pacific It Is thought the line may be tied up two weeks. The high wind did considerable damage In the mountains, blowing trees across the tracks and destroying wire communication. IiOVETT TO ARRIVE TODAY Harrlman's Successor to Be Port land Guest for Three Daya. Judge Lovett. the new head of the Har rlman Railroad system, will arrive in Portland this morning, and may be here for two or three days. Local representa tives of the Harriman lines have no In formation as to hie movements save that he Is due to arrive here today. He left Spokane last night at 10 o'clock with J. P. O'Brien, general manager, to come to Portland by way of Pendleton, and Is ex pected to reach here about 10 o'clock. The plans for his entertainment while here are as yet problematical. An In vitation from the Commercial Club for an informal reception has been forwarded to Judge Lovett. but as yet no reply has been received. Special Train Will Brinff Troops. Word has been received by General Passenger Agent McMurray. of the O. R.' & N.. that Batteries A and Bthe first battalion of the Second Field Artillery, 269 men, will come to Portland for service at Vancouver Barracks. A special train of 13 cars will transport the' troops, who are now stationed at Fort D. A. Ruesell. at Cheyenne. Wyo.. and will leave there December 6. These soldiers are being sent to replace the men who have been sent to the Philippines from Vancouver Barrackst MORE BRIDGES CARRIED OUT Great Northern, It Is Feared, May Re Tied l"p Two Weeks.

There were nearly 1X passenger. Walking nearly a mile, climbing over rocks and using tem porarily constructed foot bridges, they were able to reach the relief train that was sent out of Seattle yesterday morn ing. Shortly after the arrival of the train a message was received In Seattle stating that the railroad bridge over the Skyko- BOATHQUSE ROW ABLAZE BAKER'S GASOLIXE LAUNCH IS DESTROYED BY FIRE. Fire Starts in "Hospital," Which It self Is Only Slightly Damaged. Fire, which is believed to have been caused by the carelessness of an at tendant in filling a tank with gasoline, damaged three boathouses yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock at the foot of East Ellsworth street and destroyed a gasoline motor boat. The motor boat was owned by Charlea Seigfreig. a baker, employed at the Vienna Bakery. 390 Morrison street. Sleg. freig's loss Is estimated at about $1100, a part of this being cost of the boat hottsa. The blaze originated In the boathouse next to Seigfrieg's, known as the Hospital Boat, conducted as a repair shop and gasoline depot for motor boats. The flames spread to Selgfrelg's and then to the boathouse on the other side. The latter was only slightly damaged. Engine Company 11 and Hose Company 3. under the command of Battalion Chief Stevens, put out the blaze before it spread. The damages in the Hospital Boat, where the fire started, were only slight.

"The Toung Men's Christian Associa tion Is becoming. If possible, more popu lar in China than in America," was the somewhat surprising assertion made yes terday by C. H. Robertson, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Tientsin, who was a visitor at the local association. Mr. Rob ertson told of the work of the Y. M. C. A. In the Orient. Both In spreading the Christian religion and In the educational field, he declared, its progress had been far more rapid than was even hoped for. The organization is popular wherever It has been Instituted. "Strange as it may seem, the Y. M. C. A. has come into such universal favor In China that its popularity has at times caused us trouble." said Mr. Robertson. "Fakers, wlfose only desire Is to cheat the natives, have gone into the interior and, fraudulently representing themselves to be Y. M. C. A. workers, have extorted large amounts In membership fees. Sev-' eral times we have been compelled to ap peal to the Consular authorities to stop the operations of these grafters. Corea offers another instance. An army of 10,000 men was raised there, by using the Y. M. C. A. name, to fight Japan. Of course, this was done without any authority from the association." In China, Mr. Robertson said, there are now 10 city and 100 student Y. M. C. A.'s. more than that number of native secre taries. American secretaries are paid by The American secretaries are paid by funds raised in this country, the Portland Association contributing to the support of two. Operating expenses, however, are paid by the Chinese themselves. "One of the most encouraging phases of the Y. M. C. A. work In China is the support given by the upper classes," Mr. Robertson declared. "It Is an often ex pressed ambition of Chinese young men to send a winning athlete to the Olympic games. So far, China has never entered a team In the Olympic contests, but It will not be many years before one will be entered and it is not unlikely he will be a point winner." Mr. Robertson last night gave an Illus trated lecture on his work rn China be fore the boys' department of the Portland Y. M. C. A. WOMAN ENTERS DENIAL Marie Boyd Declares Charges False. Released on Bail. Marie Boyd, the young woman who was arrested with F. H. Patterson, who is now In jail awaiting prosecution upon the charge of wholesale swindling operations in this city, in which women were the victims, has been released on bail sup plied by h-er father, a well-to-do merchant In Echo. Or., who came to this city as soon as he heard of the trouble involving his daughter. Miss Boyd proved to have been Patter son's biggest dupe instead of having been his accomplice. Her testimony being of value to the prosecution, she was placed under 150 ball. At the time of the ar rest charges of a statutory nature were lodged against the young woman and Patterson, but these were afterwards withdrawn. "There 1 absolutely no truth In the charges against me," said Miss Boyd yesterday afternoon. "I want to deny those allegations. They were false In every particular and should never have beer! brought at all. They do me a great Injustice. I placed eome confidence in Mr. Patterson's schemes and put up my money like any of the other women who answered his advertisements, but for the police to Infer that anything further than this transpired between Mr. Patterson and myself is a great Injustice, to me." The Opportunity to Participate in the Profits of Selling a 3000-Acre Linn County Orchard Tract Nearly every real estate investor knows the rather phenomenal profit that accrues to members of land syndicates, when the land is purchased for the purpose of subdivision and sale. The amount invested always returns 100 per cent, frequently 200 per cent, and from 300 per cent to 500 per cent is not unusual. It is such an opportunity that is suggested by this advertisement, although a very limited amount is actually required. The Flan Is Simple, Safe and Practical; the Profits Are Certain and Amply Secured This company owns 3000 acres of orchard land in the forks of the. famous Santiam River fruit belt. It is about to plat and sell in small acreage on a development plan and will, for the purpose of establishing a development fund, sell a limited number of shares of preferred stock upon unique terms, which are simple, absolutely saie ior the most particular investor and practical enough for the most conservative banker. A Statement of the Terms and the Charac ter of the Prof its 'The LINNIIAVEN ORCHARD COMPANY is incorporated for $300,000, divided into $200,000 in common and $100,000 preferred stock, par value of each, $100. It offers for sale a small amount of the preferred stock at par value, in amounts not less than $500. To every purchaser of preferred stock, the equivalent is given as a bonus in common stock. The preferred stock is -guaranteed to yield 5 per cent, and will be redeemed on or before tivo vears fronx.date of issue. Each purchaser of $500 of preferred stock is secured by a deed of trust to 20 acres of land of the company. This land may only be released upon the payment to the purchaser of the preferred stock which it represents, the amount of his investment, with accumulated interest. Thus, the investment is amply se cured, leaving the common stock to participate in the profits that will accrue from the sale of the orchard tracts, which will commence as soon as this development fund is raised. Value of Security Is Ten Times the Amount of Investment At the present time, the land of the LINNIIAVEN ORCHARD COIPANT is easily worth double the amount it ' secures. With cultivation in force, trees set out and growing, the value will rise quickly, making it more valuable every day. As orchard land it will be saleable at $250 per acre, making its value TEN TIMES THE AMOUNT II SEOTTRES. After redemDtion of the preferred stock, all common stockholders will H-m--i share proportionately in the profits that are derived from the sale of the small tracts for home sites, small fruit ranches, and this will be no inconsiderable income.
