STORM

Wind and Rain Due and Warn
ings Sent Out.
CENTER IS CAPE FLATTERY
last evening were that the Pomeroy and
Dayton branches would be opened either
last night or this morning. !
Barometer Drops Decidedly Along
Coast Portland to Get High
Wind and Rain, According
to the Veath,er Man.
According to information received
last night by the local Weather Bu
reau, a severe storm is centering near
Cape Flattery, the barometer having
dropped to 29.16 Inches at the Tatoosh
weather Btation. Other indications of
the storm were received early yester
day morning, and storm warnings were
sent to all seaports of Oregon and
Washington at 7:30 o'clock in the
morning, with the exception of Marsh
Held, where the warning was sent at
6:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Although indications of the approach
ing storm were recorded early yester
day, the only place reporting high
winds was Walla Walla, where a wind
with a velocity of 30 miles an hour
from the southeast was reported in the
afternoon. '
Portland to (let itain and Wind.
The forecast for today for Portland
and vicinity is for occasional rain and
higher southwesterly winds. The tem
perature, it is stated, will be lower to
day than yeBterday. The forecast for
Portland is practically the same as that
made for the entire States of Oregon
and Washington. In Idaho, snow is
predicted.
Rain fell generally throughout Ore
gon, Washington and Northern Cali
fornia yesterday, the total fall in Port
land being .68 inch for the 24 hours
ending at 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Portland has not. however, had
a normal rainfall thus far this season,
the deficiency amounting to .25 inch.
Only a moderate rise in the river has
resulted from the present rain. Dur
ing the 24 hours ending last night,
the rise of the river was recorded at
Portland as amounting to 1.3 feet. As
the tides affect the river at this place
a part of this may result from thot
cause, and not from the rain entirely.
O. K. & X. Clear of Flood.
The main line on the Washington
division of the O. R. & X. was reported
clear of flood damage again last night.
The trains Saturday night were de
toured over the Xorthern Pacific be
tween Wallula and Pasco and over the
Spokane. Portland & Seattle, between
Pasco and Spokane, but trains today
will use the O. R. & X. tracks all the
way through to Spokane:
Washouts, it was learned last night,
have put a stop to traffic on the Shaniko
line, and it is probable that no mora
trains will be operating over the road
for a few days, as the construction crews
are kept busy on the main lines at
present.
Late in the evening last night Infor
mation was received toy O. R. & Jf. offi
cials here that two or three bridges be
tween this city and Umatilla are In a
dangerous condition. There have been a
number of minor washouts between here
and Umatilla, and much trouble was ex
perienced yesterday with rocks, which
had been loosened by thaws, rolling down
U.e hillsides and falling on the tracks.
Orders were sent out last night from
Hie local offices to have watchmen put
nt nil points where there is danger of
. injury to the line, and all train crews,
H-id especially engineers, were ' notified
:st extreme caution should be taken in
ng the trains.
T' i branch line between Starbuck
anfl '-r.le.1 is also in bad shape, but con
JKloiia there are improving. Reports
FLOODS HIT INLAND EMPIRE
Father and Son Swept From Horses
and Dorwned.
SPOKANE!. Wash., Jan. 23. (Special.)
Floods, mothered by a Chinook wind
and given added zest by heavy rains
in the Inland Empire during the last two
days, are tonight menacing Pullman,
Garfield and other Palouse country
towns, forming rivulets in dry coulees In
the Big Bend country and endangering
railway traffic, around Spokane, partic
ularly In North Idaho and the Walla
Walla district.
. Winter wheat in the Palouse country -has
been damaged by washing. The
ground is frozen two feet and the thaw
ing surface has carried with it grain
sown on side hills, this in turn covering
up seed in the valleys, when washed
down.
Along the Northern Pacific between
Spangle and Rosalia, water is out of the
creek banks and over the tracks at
Plaza. Business houses in Bast Pullman
are threatened by an ice Jam in the
South Palouse River, three miles above
Pullman. The Yakima River is rising
but no damage is reported there.
Percy McMillan, aged 16, son of James
McMillan, and Charles Neave, aged 25,
both of Hatton, were swept from their
horses and drowned In a lake formed by
backwater from a coulee today. Their
bodies have not been recovered. The
scene of the accident is ordinarily dry,
but all coulees east of Hatton are now
raging torrents. -
A landslide near Steptoe Canyon, on
the Riparia-lieJrrretTra line, Interrupted
traffic for several hours today, but the
steant .shovel from Penewawa cleared
the track tTTr evening.
Warm winds have prevailed over a
large portion of the Nez Perces Prairie
country and in the Lewiston Valley for
4S hours, and there is danger of a sud
den' rise in the Clearwater River.
NEW CHURCH DEDICATED
CONGREGATION GIVES $800
TOWARD DEBT AT MEETING.-
Structure Replaces One on Which
$ 1 OOO Had Been Expended
Preceding- Fire,
Nearly $800 In cash and pledges was
raised at the dedication of the Immanuel
Baptist Church yesterday afternoon to
ward a debt" of J1575.19 which stood
against the new edifice. The building
cost $6731.78," according to the report of
the trustees; submitted by J. B. Laber,
chairman of the board. Ho said that
$150 additional would be needed to com
plete the building.
The new church is at Second and Meado
streets, in the same location as the for
mer Immanuel Church, which was burned
In December, 1908. Just before the fire
$1000 had been expended in improvement
of the old church structure. The fire
came on a Saturday night, but despite
this fact, no church services were missed,
although upon the first Sunday it was
necessary to sing without hymnbooks.
The enrollment of the church is' now 106.
At the time of rebuilding there was
considerable difference of opinion as to
where the new: building should 'be erected,
whether upon the old site or farther
south. It finally became necessary, be
cause of Inability to sell at an adequate
figure the lot upon which the old church
stood, to erect the new structure upon the
ashes of the old. Mr. Daber expressed
it yesterday as his belief that this wasi
the bept for the church, as the gulch.
Immediately to the north is to be filled,
and the church will not be far from one
of the parks' planned by the city.
' Dr. J. Whttepmb Brougher was he
speaker, his text being the parable of the
unjust steward. Rev. A. B. Mlnaker
presided. At laet night's service Dr.
W. T. Jordan occupied the pulpit.
AUTO SHOW READY
Decoration of Armory Will
Dazzle All Beholders.
LIGHTING TO BE FEATURE
Jlue. pink and aquamarine diamonds were
recently exhibited in London.
'lore Than Million Dollars in Auto
biles and Motor Accessories Will

tors Are Expected.
' Amid a blaze of electrical fire the sec
ond annual Portland Automobile Show
will open tonight at 7 o'clock in the
Armory. At noon today, according to
schedule, the final touches1 will be added
to the decorative scheme, the last auto
mobile will be polished, the last of the
motor accessory exhibits will be put in
place and the few hours1 left preceding
the opening will be given over to clear
ing away the litter and to a rehearsal
by the management of its programme for
the week.
Howard M. Covey, who went to Los
Angeles1 for the purpose of becoming con
versant with the mechanism of the Her-rlng-Curties
aeroplane. recently pur
chased by E. Henry Wemme, will ar
rive home this morning. The aeroplane
will come by express on the same train
and will be moved immediately to the
Armory. It will be placed in the room
used as a gymnasium on the second floor.
The aeroplane ' now owned by J. C.
Burkhart. of Portland, was built in
Ithaca, N. Y., and made trial flights
there and in Hamraexsport. N. Y. It is
fashioned after the Curtiss machine, but
has several improvements which have
been patented by Mr. Burkhart.
"The impression has become general
that my machine hag never been tried."

said Mr. Burkhart yesterday. "I wish
to say that it has been tried and found
successful."
An extra charge will be made to see
the aeroplane. This money will be 'given
to the Mount Hood road fund.
Surplus Goes for Good Roads.
The show is being conducted under the
auspices of the Portland Automobile Club.
The automobile dealers as an organiza
tion are not concerned in the manage
ment. The surplus funds from the show
will become a part of the good roads
fund of the club. Will Lipman, secretary
of the Automobile Club, has had the en
tire management of the show.
The canvass decorative scheme is said
by those who saw the New York Madison
Square Garden show, January 8 to 15, to
be more elaborate than those in the
Eastern city. This part of the decorative
scheme was designed and executed by
William Grabach, the Portland scenic
painter. Mr. Grabach for the past month,
with half a dozen assistants, has1 been
busy preparing the mammoth painting,
which covers 2000 square feet of canvas.
A party of persons interested in the
show and newspapermen were taken on
an inspection tour of the great building
Dy Manager Upman yesterday afternoon.
All were astounded. The ground floor
setting Is simple but artistic.
The arrangement of the upper floor
permits a striking mechanical and scenic
display. The idea of a Roman anphithe
ater has been carried out below. Around
the exhibits in the main hall a fence to
Imitate bas relief has been constructed.
On top of the fence at uniform intervals
are Jardinieres filled with trailing vines.
Intricately carved medallions adorn the
fence on the outer side.
Decorations Made Here.
Inside this fence 16 bas relief columns,
surmounted by winged Mercuries, have
been placed. Surmounting the columns
are miniature automobile wheels, also
winged. On top of each wheel is a
Mercury fashioned after the Greek model.
The modeling of all the bas relief work
was done by a Portland firm, Xitsche &
Andrae. All the decorations were made
in this city.
Although the Roman amphitheater pre
dominates on the main floor below the
gallery line, the effect throughout Is that
of an outdoor scene. This is carried out
more pronouncedly in the decorations
above, in which the scene is a" panorama
of life along the Rhine. No attempt
was made by the artist to picture the
broad expanse of the river proper, but
the setting through which it runs, now
and then disappearing around some hill
to reappear at the brink of a precipice
and ' become a rushing cataract, is ar
tistic. At one end a great castle, at the
other an old windmill and a peasant's
cottage, give an air of romance.
There are 50 small trees and in each a
cage, containing a canary, will on
screened by the foliage. The somber
dome of the great building, its girders
and the skylight will be covered with
blue and yellow canvas bunting.
The lighting will be especially effective.
From all cvef the United States factory
representatives, publlcity men and deal
ers are flocking into Portland. An attend
ance of 10,000 is expected this week. It
was announced yesterday by ' Manager
Lipman that though the original appro
priation for decorations was $7500, it has
been increased to $10,000.
Six-Cylinder Car Popular.
Among the factory publicity men to
reach .here, yesterday was C. R. Williams,
of Cleveland. representing the Winton
"Six." Mr. Williams gave out an Inter
view last night in which he denied the
recent statement of a dealer that the !x
cylinder car is going out of use.
"I can prove that there were ' a third
more six-cylinder cars on exhibition at
the New York show this year than last.
It was the same at the Olympic show in
London," said Mr. Williams. "What &
motor is built for is to pull. It stands to
reason that six cylinders would do better
pulling than a less number."
Del Wright, factory representative in
the Northwest of .the Maxwell-BrIsco
Motor Car Company,- makers of the Max
well, and W. B. Jameson, of San Fran
cisco, are also among the visitors. They
will assist E. E. Cohen, local agent, in
his booth at the show,
A party of Tacoma automobile men,
having In charge the show there next
month, will be here to inspect the deco
rations. They also will- negotiate, it is
said, for the removal of the decorations
to that city after the Portland show.
More than $1,000,000 will be represented
in the exhibits of automobile and motor
accessories. This amount is divided
among 38 exhibitors, not including the
aeroplanes.
reported that an embannment 200 yards
long and averaging two feet righ would
be necessary. They were instructed to
confer with the City Council and the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, who own
the mill race, with the purpose of acting
upon the work at once.
BIG CEMETERY PLANNED
Mount Scott Tract to Be Improved a'
Cost of More Than $200,000.
Improvement of a large tract on
Mount Scott for a cemetery will begin
next Spring. Surveys and plans have
been in preparation all Winter for de
velopment on a large scale, as soon as
weather will permit. Buildings, Includ
ing a crematorium, are to be erected,
a water plant Installed, the electric
railway extended from Lents and ex
tensive landscape Improvements ef
fected. H. R. Reynolds, manager of the new
cemetery company, says that more than
$200,000 will be expended this year by
his company and that further develop
ment will be laid out for the next year.
J. P. Finley, one of the directors of the
new venture, left for San Francisco last
week, to make a study of cemeteries in
California's largest cities.
Mr. Reynolds says his company will
lay before the city a proposition for re
moving the bodies in Lone Fir Ceme
tery, in the heart of East Portland's
residence district, so that the Lone Fir
tract can be turned into a park or
added to the residence area.
