"While the storm, that held Portland

ended yesterday morning seems to have
abated, greatly Improving railroad ana
electric-car service, danger to property
Interests along the waterfront still Is
threatening on account of the certain
ne of the river which may flood the
lower docks and fill the cellars on Front
street.
All the rail line have been cleared of
d-bris and the washed out tracks have
been repaired, although It will be weeks
before the damaged tracks can be fully
repaired. Service has been restored be
tween Portland and all points that were
rut off on account of the rains, although
trains are not running on schedule time
In ranet canes. Portland officials promise
a complete restoration of the service to
day If further rain do not Interfere.
Trains Come Through.
The Northern Pacific tracks at R!dge-
f-id and Fellda have been repaired and
all tt.e trains held north of there have
rn-en released. The trains' on each of the
three road using the Northern Pacific
traca brtsern Portland an Puget
Juro arrived in town at 11 o'clock y
terday morning, many of the paengere
t!r.g sleepy, owing to their Inability
to scur berths during the night. The
Or i-it Northern and O.-W. R. & N.
roads suffered with the Northern Pa
cific In this eperlence. TTavelera who
left Seattle and Tacoma Wednesday
morning with the hope of reaching Port
land the enrne day were compelled to
fit up ail night, as the trains were not
orov'ded with sleepers.
Manv of the travelers amused them-
nrlva in music, card playing and various
kinds of entertainment. A theatrical
company on board on of the trains pro
vided entertainment for suveral hun
dred persons who crowded one of the
cars. In another coach two colored
men with a mandolin and banjo kept
the crowd that otherwise would have
grown depressed and dissatisfied In com
parative good nature. t"rJ games were
in progress In nemly every car. Pas
sengers on the Shasta Limited and other
trains carrying full 'Pullman equipment
sutlered no Inconvenience other than the
loss of time.
Work of ICepair Pushed.
In some places where the double track
hi been completed both mKn of rails
were washed out. Officials of ths North
ern PaclUc have aimed to repair only
one track and will operate all trains
over the single line until the parallel
mile can be placed In good condition
again. Crews will be placed at work on
all damaged sections at once.
M. J. buckler, assistant general man
ager of tlie Southern Pacific and
O.-W. K. N. Co. systems, returned to
Portland yesterday morning, after
personally superintending the repair
work on lines that had bean affected
by the floods.
He reported that the bridge at Salem
had been repaired and that trains
started to pass over It at 1 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. At the same time
trains began operating over the af
fected section between Clackamas and
Oregon City, wlllch means that the
Southern Pacific main line Is clear and
that freight and passenger business
can be resumed. The West Side and
Yamhill divisions are in good condition,
and were not much hurt by the high
water. The Springfleld-Woodburn di
vision had not been restored to oper
ation lata last night.- Heavy damage
was reported between Springfield .and
Bilverton and construction forces were
snt there to make repairs. The line
will be readyfor use today.
Slide Removed, Track Replaced.
On the O.-W. R- A N. line between
Portland and Huntington. Superinten
dent Bollons had charge of the re
construction work. The slide at
Taylors wrought the most destruction.
This was removed and the tracks were
replaced late last night, after which
trains started to pass over the road.
A complete restoration of the service
between Portland and the East is
promised today. One serious effect of
the storm Is the delay in mails from
the East and the South. Local and
northern malls hsve been brought In
with a degree of Irregularity-yiat af
forded some relief from the general
shut-off situation, but many Portland
business men who were awaiting- Im
portant communications from the East
were disappointed for two daya. Most
of the delayed letters will be delivered
today. Frank W. Vallle. district su
perintendent of the railway mail serv
ice, arrived In Portland yesterday from
Feattie. The floods prevented htm from
departing on time for the South and
he may return to Seattle.
While the North Bank Road had its
troubles. It was less Inconvenienced
than soma of the others. Some of
the trains on the South Bank Road
were operated over that line in and out
of Portland, connection with the main
line being made via the Northern Pa
cific from Wallula to Pasco.

waiting for a crew to take them out.
I f the men being held on the line
with other trains. The northbound
Shasta Limited left here last night
about two hours late.
Service on the I'nited Railway Is
badly demoralized, but some relief Is
In sight for today. The service on the
Oregon Electric tins was continued
yesterday, but some delays were nec
essary.
The situation with reference to
Portland streetcar traffic is rapidly
Improving. The Oregon City line was
In a sorry state Wednesday night and
yesterday morning, but repairs have
been rushed with the result that cars
will be running- on time today.
Reports from the surrounding coun
try Indicate that the worst of the
storm Is over, but the waters continue

An opinion that upsets all previous
legal expressions upon the application
of the home rule bill to cities that
voted "wet" In counties that voted
'dry" at the last election, was given
yesterday by John F. Logan, and places
the Issue to squarely before each mu
nicipality so affected that there Is no
longer ground for quibbling outside of
the courts. In the opinion of Attorney
Logan, cities that voted "wet" In coun
ties that voted "dry" have the right to
sue liquor licenses. If the City Coun
cil is so disposed, without calling- an
election In such municipality.
"The home rule amendment'to the
constitution Is self executing." said
Mr. Logan yesterday, "and Its effect is
to make an Incorporated city a precinct
unit, empowered to regulate the traf
fic In liquor within Its corporate limits.
The vote at the laxt election was an
expression of the people. Where a ma
jority in an incorporated city voted
'wet' the Council may grant licenses to
sell liquor without calling an election,
because the home rule amendment Is
self executing.
flection Xot Prohibited.
"If citizens of cities so affected
choose to call a local option election
under the local option laws of the
state, as provided by the statutes and
the home rule amendment to the con
stitution, they have the privilege of do
ing so, but this right does not prohibit
the council of such city from granting
liquor licensee at any time It sees fit
until the expression of the people at
the last election Is reversed at another
election.
"Section S, article 11. of the state
constitution, was amended In 1906. giv
ing cities the right to amend their
charters and pass laws. Under pro
visions of this amendment the city of
Astoria, through its Council, proceeded
to enact a law. In the case of the
Acme Dairy Company againRt the city
of Astoria suit was brought against
the city on the ground that It had no
right to enact a certain law. The
Supreme Court hold that the amendment
to the constitution gave cities the rlgnt
to amend their charters and enact cer
tain laws and the City Councif of Astoria
was sustained.

GRESHAM. Or.. Jan. 19. (Special.
Heavy rains, which have been falling
for the past two days, have caused
much damage to the county roads all
over Eastern Multnomah and Clackamas
counties. The rains started melting the
deep snows and carried the waters
down at once with the result that every
stream Is overflowing Its banks. At
numerous places tne roaoa are impass
ible, and all kinds of business and traf
fic is nearly at a standstill. The rural
tree delivery service la badly demor
alized. Operations on the .Mount Hood
Railway and the second Bull Run pipe
line ars badly handicapped. Construc
tion la virtually at a halt.
Kogne River RUing Rapidly.
MEDFORD. Or.. Jan. 19. (Special.)
The Rogue River Is rising at the rate of
about a foot an hour and although no
damage to life or property Is expected by
persons living along Its banks, it Is be
lieved that before the present rains cease
and the recent snowfall Is entirely melt
ed that the stream will surpass all pre
vious high-water marks. Bear Creek, a
smaller stream running through the city.
Is also ruling steadily and as Its banks
are not as blga as tnose 01 me main
river, fear Is expressed that it may do
some damage by flood. The present rain
started late Wednesday night and has
continued at intervals ever since, though
the rising barometer indicates change.
Toledo Swept by AVInd and Rain.
TOLKDO, Or., Jan. 19. (Special.)
This locality was swept by the worst
storms for years last night and today.
A high gale was accompanied by a
heavy rainfall. Considerable damage
was done by the wind and the high
waters have swept out many bridges
on the roads. Trains on the C. & E.
have been blockaded, the outbound
train of Wednesday being at Kddyvllle
by a weakened bridge. A washout east
of Blodgett has shut off all trains from
the east. Much damage was done to
the sawmill at Elk City by the high
water.
City Is Precinct Unit.
"The boms rule bill Is another amend
ment to the constitution and specifically
grants cities the rght to regulate the sale
of liquor within Its corporate limits. It
goes further than that It makes the city
a precinct unit and where a majority of
such city precinct unit voted "wet" the
city has the light to Issue liquor licenses
without calling an election. The Su
preme Court held that in the case of the
Acme Dairy Company against Astoria
that the amendment to the constitution
In 1906 was self-executing and the home
rule bill must necessarily convey the
same meaning, privileges and powers to
cities."
Rosetrurg. Harrisburg. Joseph, FJgln
and several other cities in the stats come
under this provision of the home rule
amendment. In each of these cities a
majority within the corporate limits
voted "wet." although the county voted
"dry." Immediately after the election
they were anxious to grant liquor li
censes, but action was deferred under
the presumption that it was necessary to
hold another election within tne city.
The real provisions of the horns rule
amendment appear to have been lost
sight of In a controversy over holding
special elections and elections on dates
specified by the local option laws.
Now that the amendment has been dis
sected and Its application to cities com
ing under its provisions elucidated. It is
expected that some city so affected will
grant liquor licenses and. if the ' drys"
object, a test case will be carried to the
Supreme Court for a decision.
Portland may have a museum and a
building to house the records of the
Oregon Historical Society. A bill was
Introduced In the Oregon Legislature
yesterday calling for the appropriation
of $100,000 from the general fund of the
state for the erection of the building,
provided $100,000 Is secured In 18
months from some other source for the
purchase of the ground. This additional
$100,000 may be in cash or In solvent
securities, payable on demand.
The bill, as drawn, empowers the
Board of School Directors in District
No. 1 to donate, in Its discretion, any
portion of Its real estate. This may
mean that the site of the Lincoln High
School eventually will be used for the
erection of the, Oregon Historical So
ciety building. '
Before the appropriation for the
building can be used it will be nec
essary for the City of Portland to pass
an ordinance providing for the opera
tion and maintenance of the building
by the city. If the ground or the fund
for the ground is nfH provided within
18 months after the bill is signed by the
Governor, the money from the general
fund la not to be available, but la to
be turned back Into the general fund.
The bill provides that such space as
Is not used in housing the record of the
Historical Society may be used by the
city as a museum.
The Oregon Historical Society is em
powered to erect the building, and the
Board of Building Commissioners hav
ing tuls work In charge is to consist
of the board of directors of the society,
the Governor, the Secretary of State
and the State Treasurer.
The bill was drawn by William D,
Fenton. and Is Indorsed by T. B. Wilcox.
H. C. Campbell. F. V. Holman, Dr. J. R.
Wilson and George II. Hlmes. The
building would provide a permanent
meeting place for the Oregon Pioneer
Association.
