RAIL STATE BETTER
All Railroads Operate but Dan
ger Not Yet Over.
FLOOD HURTS S. P. 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

SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 14. The first
relief train bearing the passengers of
Great Northern passenger train No. 3.
due In Seattle Monday, arrived shortly
after 10 o'clock last night. There were
nearly 1X passenger. Walking nearly a
mile, climbing over rocks and using tem

were able to reach the relief train that
was sent out of Seattle yesterday morn

message was received In Seattle stating
that the railroad bridge over the Skyko-

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.

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."

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.
