The measure will take the place of two naturalization bills on tue house calendar and an effort will br- made, according to Representative Johnson of Washington, chairman, to have congress approve it at this ses- SIUT. Women under the bill no longer would derive citizenship from nat uralization of husbands, but would be required to make individual applica tions for citizenship. They also would not lose their American citizenship by marrying aliens except when an alien husband cannot lawfully become an American ctuzen. or when a woman resides two years in her husband's country or five years in some other country. Once expatriated, a woman desiring to regain American citizenship would be required to follow the same pro cedure as any other alien.

PATH CUT THROUGH SLIDE Columbia Highway Near Astoria Is Opened Up Again. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 5 (Special.) This afternoon a path was cut through the big slide on the Columbia high way about a mile east of this city, so that automobiles can get by. Several days will elapse, however, before the entire slide will be cleared. Last night three large trees fell across the highway near Kerry, completely blocking traffic for several hours. A report received this morning said that the old slide at Burnside was be ginning to move, but it had not yet obstructed the road. The railroad company also had more trouble. Its big digger which was en route to Portland ran into slides at Parson, Bugby and Maygcr, but suc ceeded in clearing them away, so that the night train from Portland was able to reach her about 2:10 this morning. Early today a small slide occurred at Avon, but it was removed after a delay of about two hours to the trains. December wa an exceedingly damp month in Astoria, as well as at other points from San Francisco north to British Columbia. The rainfall during the 31 days which ended on last Friday night was 18.19 inches, the heaviest for any December of which there I any rec ord here and the heaviest for any single month since January, 1919. The precipitation during that month was 19.19 inches.

This exceeds the rain fail of the corresponding four months of 1919 by 11.24 inches. The rainfall in the 24 hours ending last night was 2.91 inches and the precipitation in. the four days of the month was several Inches, whereas for the entire month of January, 1920, it was but 8 19 inches. Astoria was visited this morning by the first flurry of snow this season, but it melted almost as soon as it fell and was followed by squalls of hall and rain until noon, when the sun peeped outTor the first' time several days. . The big gale came to a sudden end last night with a downpour of rain that was almost a deluge. The ba rometer, after dropping to 29 late yes terday afternoon, started up again. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the wind at North Head was blowing from the west at a 24-mile rate. Reports received today said there was quite a heavy fall of snow in the hills on both sides of -the river, but with the south wind blowing it wilt not remain long. of Kent was under water today, and between Kent and Auburn the new paved road was also under water in places, so that only the high line road to Tacoma was available. The road from Chebalis to South Bend an Raymond was impassable, the auto mobile club of western Washington reported, and the Chehaiis river's high waters have shut off travel be tween Olympia and Aberdeen by washing out the road between Elma and Satsop. Flood conditions also existed in and about Duval. At Snoqualmie Falls a groat vol ume of water was pouring over the falls, making the scene one of un usual beauty for motorists. SNOW FALLS AT ALBANY Willamette River Is Reported to Be Starting to Recede. ALBANY. Or., Jan. 5. (Special.) The first snow of the winter in Al bany fell this morning. It was just a brief flurry largely mingled with rain and melted on the wet ground as rap Idly as it felL Hills on both sides of the valley in this part of the state were white with snow this morning and a heavy snowfall last night's re ported in some sections of the moun tains. The Willamette river here toda'y s-as 20.8 feet above low-water mark and. while falling slightly, was ex pected to begin rising again tomor row morning. Lowlands were badly flooded and during most of today water in some places two feet deep has been running over roads in Ben ton county, just north of the Albany bridge. Portions of other roads this vicinity were also under water in places. Last night river rose gradually and at 8 o'clock this morning was 21.1 feet. It had been falling all day, but very slowly. The decrease for the day was but three-tneths of a foot. Reports from south of here in dicated a further rise at Albany to morrow. - ' Fed by beavyq rains, the South San tiam river reached flood stage again today and the Calapooia and other streams in Linn county rose rapidly. Several small streams were far be yond their banks. Since it turned solder in the mountains and no snow is melting it was expected these streams would carry off the surface water from the rains, but the pres ent high Waters will augment the tlood in the Willamette.

Telephone communication was crippled to some extent In the outlying districts, but otherwise there was no particular damage. Falling snow in the North Umpqua basin has averted a flood which threatened the light and power plant located at Winchester, five miles north of this city. The warm chinook winds which struck this valiey yesterday lasted well Into the night, causing the heavy fall of snow in the moun tains to melt and swell the streams to a considerable degree.

Practically all danger of the Deschutes irrigation project being defeated in congress was passed this afternoon when the house in committee of the whole ap proved an appropriation of $400,000 for beginning construction work, as carried in the sundry civil bill. This project having been approved in com mittee of the whole has not the re motest chance, in the opinion of Rep resentative Sinnott. of being attacked when the house takes up the bill on final passage.

Representative Hawley, growing uneasy about Oregon's river and har bor projects has been In frequent con ferences lately with Chairman Ken nedy of the rivers and harbors com mittee of the house urging that a bill be reported out at this session. Telling of his efforts today, Mr. Hawley said: "I have been conferring with Chair man Kennedy and the board of engi neers on rivers and harbors relative to a river and harbor bill for this session of congress. Mr. Kennedy has not yet reached a conclusion as to whether a river and harbor bill will be presented for the reason that the number of projects reported by the engineers within the last four years Is very small. I have urged that a bill ought to be reported for the reason that under the new rule of the house the river and harbor committee can make only authoriza tions and not appropriations.

LABOR DISCOVERS PUBLIC (Continued F-om F:rst Piigp work Is as inalienable as his' right to quit, and the loss of public sympathy which organized labor has suffered during the past few years 'makes it difficult to combat this proposition. In spite of this unfavorable posi tion, organized labor Is putting up a spirited fight, and. while wages are bound to come down, there la no ques tion that they will remain higher than the pre-war standard- Neither will wages come down without a cor responding reduction in the cost of commodities. Observers here believe that the present situation ha healthy tenden cies and will result in a readjustment of the relations between capital and labor. The chief danger seen at pres ent is in the possibility that capital may become arrogant and invoke the same rebuke that has just been ad ministered to the powerful labor organizations. COOS BAY TRAFFIC CUT OFF New Slide at Bufo Again Blocks Road; Track Left in Air. MARSHFIEL.D. Or., Jan. 5 (Spe ciail.) Coos Bay and Coos county railway traffic today was cut off when a new slide at Bufo. a few miles north of Lakeside, filled the cut with trees and earth, twisting the tracks of the Southern Pacific. No trains at all were run today. The slide at Betzen. near Cushman on the Siuslaw river. , is one of big proportions and more troublesome than at first thought. Xhe slide is about 175 feet across. All the gravel and foundation under the tracks were torn from a shale bedrock and car ried into the Siuslaw river, leaving the ties and tracks hanging in the air like a bridge. It is believed possible to drive piling In the shale and a tem porary shoo-fly will be constructed around the slide. The morning train for Eugene got as far as Lakeside and then was routed back to Coos Bay because of the obstruction at Bufo. Railroad men hope to have traffic moving bv some time on Thursday. Three work and construction trains began work at the two points of trouble. It is' necessary to construct a new founda tion by digging into the hillside, and It is considered doubtful if it will hold. AM Pullman trains between Coos Bay and Portland have been called off and will not be started until t he tracks are considered safe. The weather began partially clear ing today but It was not believed the danger of more slides was past. The rainfall in the last four days was more than four inches. This morning, the Southern Pacific sold tickets toward Power and Myrtle Point only as far as Coqiiille. Fourteen inches of water covered the tracks near the Schroeder place, three miles east of the county seat.
