MANY CANADIANS COMING Movement From North to California Promises to Be Heavy. Canadian travel through Portland to California this Winter will be heavy, says William McMurray, general pas senger agent for tne O.-W. It. & N. Company, who bases this prediction upon an unusual number of inquiries from people in. Canada, who plan to spend the cold months in the south. Two special trains will be run this year over the O.-W. R. & N. and Southern Pacific lines, one carrying people from Spokane and the Inland Empire and the other taking resi dents of Western Canadian provinces. But the general movement, aside from these two excursions, will be heavy, and all tickets will provide for stopovers in. Portland. Mr. McMurray suggests it would be a splendid at traction for tourists if organ recitals were arranged for at the Auditorium somewhat on the plan followed in the Mormon temple at Salt Lake. LIBERTY BONDS DELAYED Issue Not Expected to Arrive Here for Several Weeks. Liberty bonds have not yet arrived in Portland for distribution to sub scribers, although it was thought they would be available yesterday to hold ers of Interim certificates, but it is likely they will not arrive for some weeks yet.
