THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. NOVEMBER, 18, 190b. TWO TRAINS TO THE SOUND T Northern Pacific to Resume Traffic Through Flooded Country. NO REGULAR SCHEDULE YEfl" Passengers Will Bo Transferred "Tm Kelso to Sopenah by River Boat9 and lYom Tacoma to Seattle by Sound Steamers. fMHway communication between Port land and the Sound will be rstored today over the Northern Pacific. Two trains leave Portland this' morning over the Northern Pacific and' the passengers will be taken to Kelso and transferred from there to Sopenah by boat. The trains leave here at 7 and 8:30 o'clock and pas sengers for Seattle will probably reach their destination by tonight. From Ta coma they will be carried to Seattle on Northern Pacific steamers. The Northern Pacific has chartered the steamers Kellogg and Undine, which will carry the passengers from Kelso to So penah. A stub train is operated each morning from Portland to Kelso and an other is run from Sopenah to Tacoma. Passengers will be permitted to take with them only liand luggage and no attempt will be made at present to transfer trunks. Heavy baggage will be checked in Portland and forwarded as soon as conditions permit. Notices were posted in the hotels last night stating that the two trains over the Northern Pacific will leave this morning and joy filled the hundreds of belated passengers who now crowd the city. It Is understood that the Northern Pa cific will attempt to operate no trains be tween Portland and Kelso this afternoon, and that the only trains for the Sound today will be the two that leave at 7 and S:30 o'clock. The Northern Pacific is op erating its St. Paul .trains consolidated with the Burlington and Great Northern at Spokane, via the O. R. & X.'s main line between Portland and Pasco. Trains of these roads and the O. R. & N. are run ning reasonably close to their regular schedules. The Southern Pacific is oper ating Its trains via the Springfield branch between Portland and California points. The Santiam River is still very high, but as soon as the waters recede engineers will begin the construction of a temporary bridge. It is estimated that there are in the neighborhood of 2000 persons stalled In Portland waiting to go East over the Northern Pacific or to the Sound. Most of them will be enabled to get away to day. The Northern Pacific has paid the hotel expenses of several hundred passen gers who held through tickets and were compelled to stop over in Portland. All the Portland hotels turned guests away last night. At the Hotel Portland the register was taken from the desk and the arrivals told that they would have to find rooming-houses. They, were directed where to go, and none, so far as is known, suffered any great inconvenience. Tomorrow Is the day when the wat ers of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers may be expected to recede, and within the next week the erst while raging torrents will probably resume their normal' size. It was stated at the Weather Bureau that the storm Is about over and that the unusual rainfall will probably cease with the few showers expected today and tomorrow. The following stages of the river at different points were registered at the weather bureau yesterday at 5 P. M. : Height Change In Station. in Feet 0 Hours. Eugene 8.6 1.1 rise Albany 11.6 0 7 fall Salem 10.6 0.3 fall Portland 15.7 0.4 rls The figures given will not be greatly changed in the next 24 hours and after that period the observer states that the waters will commence to recede. All the river boats are engaged In transferring passengers on the Cowlitz River or chasing runaway logs on the Columbia, and only a few passengers were brought direct to Portland on the Mascot. The steamer Charles R. Spencer ar rived down from The Dalles and brought a large number of passengers from the O. R. & N. stalled trains. She had some trouble In the rapids above the locks but escaped without damage. GIANT TKEES BLOWN DOWN Damage Done to Forests in Moun tains Kast of Albany. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) Reports from the mountains east of Al bany are that the severe -wind storm of the past days did serious damage to standing timber. Hundreds of gigantic trees were uprooted, and mountain trails are rendered almost lmpasable. In the Quartzvllle mining district, up the North Santiam River, timber loca tors and prospectors were caught in the storm, which they pronounce the worst In years, and had difficulty In reaching the Corvallls & Eastern Rail road, the trails and forests being; plied high with trees and limbs blown down by the high wind. In the mountains rain fell tn tor rents, and all streams were out of their banns. . Teams that were at te mines were unable to return because of the high water. On the county road in Eastern Linn, near Sweet Home, falling trees have rendered the road impassable, and par ties in the mountains have been unable to return to the valley. The forests now present an excellent condition for forest fires next Summer, should they start as they have In recent years. It Is when great quantities of timber are on the ground and fallen limbs litter the forest, that fires make the fastest headway. At Jefferson, where the middle span of the steel bridge of the Southern Pa cific Company fell out during the be- ginning of the high water, the false work that had been again placed in po sition by the railroad company has been washed away. WILLAMETTE ' AT STANDSTILL Danger Foni Further Rise in Clack amas Streams Is Past. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) The Willamette River now re mains stationary, having risen but .1 of a foot during the last 24 hours, and any further advance tn the stage of this stream Is not anticipated. A slight falling is no-ted in the stage of the Clackamas, and the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company has re sumed the operation of its cars across y the Clackamas River bridge near this city. It is a fact not generally known that the motor railway bridge across this stream at Oregon City is the long est structure of its kind in the United States. The span measures 270 feet All danger of a further rise in the streams in this locality and the conse quent danger to property interests is believed to have passed. The stage of the Willamette came within a few inches of necessitating the abandon ment of the locks, as well as closing down some departments of the paper mills. Gentle Rains Fall in Douglas. ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) While other portions of the state are being inundated with waters, and while bridges are being washed out and heavy losses are being made in crops and In stock, this county has so far had no severe rains and no high water in Its streams. The Umpqua River has not so far come up more than three feet at any one time. Much rain has fallen, but it has been in gefttle show ers, so as to do good rather than harm. There has been no frost and the hills and vales are being covered with a most splendid coat of grass and stock will enter the- Winter in a good condi tion to stand the storms and freezing weather with but little, if any, loss.

Mr. Barrett exepects, how ever, to go to Portland about the middle of December to remain over the Christmas holidays. , Taft Will Retain Humphrey. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. (Special.) Secretary Taft, who arrived today from an extended tour of inspection of Army posts, made an absolute denial of the ac curacy of the report that General Hum phrey was to be forced out of office. The Secretary says he has no Intention of re lieving General Humphrey, and. so far as he knows, the General has no thought of retiring. FAVORS TRIAL MARRIAGES Young Authoress Believes in Perma nent Wedlock Conditionally. NEW YORK, Nov. 17. A book contain ing many original ideas concerning fam ily relations was published yesterday. Its author, Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons, Is daughter of Henry Clews and wife of Congressman Herbert Parsons. Mrs. Par sons is a doctor of philosophy and was a lecturer at Barnard College on sociologi cal subjects for six years. Among other things she says: 'at' therefore will seem well from this point of view to encourage trial marriage, the relation to be entered Into with a view to permanency, but with the priv ilege of breaking it if it proved unsuc cessful, and in the aosence of offspring, without suffering any great degree of pub lic condemnation." Mrs. Parsons' book, entitled "The Fam ily," is intended for use as a college text book for sociological students who are es pecially Interested in the subject of mar riage, the family and parenthood. Black Hand Gang Uses Dynamite. NEW YORK, Nov. 17. Hundreds of panes of glass were shattered, several doors were blown from their hinges and hundreds of persons clad only in night clothing rushed into the street in a panio early today when a bomb was exploded In the hallway of a tenement-house at Ho. 33 Stanton street. The police have evi dence that it was the work of the Black Hand Society, which demanded money of an Italian tenant of the building. No Score in High School Game. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Nov. 17.

Hunger- now confronts many rendered homeless or imprisoned at some isolated spot by the flood. All along the Duwam lsh and White and Black Rivers refugees, driven from their homes, are scouring the country, traveling the hills and sec tions above high water trying to secure 11 food. Men and women turn their backs upon the visionary picture of what is likely to occur In case no relief reaches the unfortunates now barely existing in the White River Valley. Money is a useless commodity, for food is beyond price. Hundreds of refugees, after toiling for days In the wildness about the hills, have been turned away nungry. Men employed In watching bridges have been forced to walk 10 or more miles for a meal and the same dis tance back to their stations. Men engaged in watching the inter- urban bridge at Renton Junction were refused food or shelter and two of them slept sitting in a two-by-four structure, fearing to remain on the bridge while the great Jam of logs prevailed to the east. Meager Supply of Food. For the past few days people have flocked to the little town of Foster, where there Is a small store and a few residents. Only a small portion of food could be secured there, and in some cases those seeking relief from hunger were refused, for there was danger of short age, even in the stores. All along the Duwamish River there are little houses with the occupants unable to get out because of the fact that there is no means of transportation. The only way such people could be reached would be by rowboats manned by a crew of strong oarsmen. Launches are practically useless owing to rne laot that, should un dergrowth or snags catch in the propeller. it wouia te rendered helpless and the re lief party frowned. Stored Crops Swept Away. Now that the waters am rAnltntr a nA trains are being operated on a email scale, little relief is afforded. Garden patches are ruined, stored crops have been swept away and homes are almost ruined.

Northern Pacific in Bad Shape. The Northern Pacific will not be open to Tacoma until Tuesday, but will try and transfer passengers over the Cowlitz, giving passage to Portland. Mails will start from Seattle for Port land in the morning to be transferred at Olequa by boat. On the Seattle division the Northern Pacific will be four days repairing the break on the Snohomish River. To the eastward it will be at least a week before damage In Eagle Gorge, where two bridges and 22 breaks in the track, occurred, is repaired. Waters everywhere are falling and a cold north wind is freezing the snows In the mountains tonignt. Mrs. Charles Jackson, as an. illustra tion of flood conditions, returned In a boat to her home In Duwamish today and found in her four-room cottage 34 persons had taken refuge; similar In stances can be recounted by the scores all through the flood districts. MUST TRANSFER AT OLEQUA Northern Pacific Will Start Two Trains From Tacoma Today. TACOMA, Nov. 17. (Special.) The Northern Pacific will start two trains for Portland tomorrow morning, -one leaving here at 7 o'clock and the other at 10, passengers transferring at 01equa.r Only such baggage as passengers can carry in their hands will be permitted on the F 00 train. Trunks and heavy . articles will be held here until trains can go clear through. A crew of 260 men cannot repair the break at the Olequa bridge for several days. The greatest damage done to the Northern Pacific by the floods has been in the Green River Canyon. There are 22 breaks in the line In a distance of 45 miles. Six hundred men are at work In the can yon making repairs. ' , PHlDE IN THE ASSAY OFFICE Adams Says He Confessed to Save Good Name of Concern. SEATTLE,' Wash.. Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) George Edward Adams, default ing cashier of the Seattle assay office, who pleaded guilty this week, was -sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment on McNeill's Island Penitentiary, gave out a remarkable interview today in which he insisted that he confessed originally and pleaded guilty to save the name of the Seattle assay office. "I have not been treated fairly by the newspapers," Adams insisted. They have not fairly represented me and they have impugned my motives. When I stole the dust deposited by miners and others, I yielded to a temptation that I was too weak at the time to resist. Possibly I was too strong or maybe I was too weak to deny my complicity when I was arrested. "But the thought "that was present with me, was that unless I acknowl edged my share there would have been other arrests and the reputation of the Seattle assay office would have been shattered. Somehow, I have a pride in the assay office and I deter mined to save it if possible. So rather than escape at the expense of the of fice by a fight, I confessed." Adams says he intends, if permitted by Federal authorities, to spend his time in the Federal prison in study. He will take up correspondence school courses and expects to come back to Seattle to re-enter commercial life when his term is ended. CLING TO OVERTURNED BOAT Paget Sound Fishermen Are Rescued After Five Hours. SEATTLE, Nov. 17. (Special.) For five hours last night Jerry Smith lay on the bottom of an overturned boat in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, holding Sam Burns above water and crying for help. AT HIGHEST STAGE OF FLOOD. Shortly after midnight this morning the steamer Walalele, inward bound, heard the call and rescued the pair. The two men are Canadian fishermen, employed in the Eagle Harbor cannery. They had been in Vancouver, B. C. spending a hol iday, and put off in a small boat for the return trip. Off Squamlsh their boat over turned and the two were thrown into the water. It was just gathering dark, and they had to remain clinging to the over turned .boat until long after midnight. when the Walalele hove Into sight and picaed them up. Both men were nearer dead than alive when rescued, and for hours the sailors on the steamer worked on them before they could be revived. Burns was only saved by Smith's herculean efforts and heroism in holding him above the waves. Flood Takes Out Fisbtraps. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) Re ports received from the north side of the river today state that practically all the fishtraps along the Washington shore above Brooltfleld have been destroyed by the floods. Immense quantities of logs and drift lodged in the traps and tore the piling out. The water tn the Bloka man, and Skamokawa Creeks Is the high est It has ever been, and considerable In jury will result to property along their banks. Aside from the breaking of a few water mains, the destruction of one small house by the wind and the weakening of the foundations under several others, the damage in this vicinity by the heavy rains and gales has been slight. The tres tle at the Jetty has stood the force of the heavy seas much better than was feared. and only about three bents on the outer end have been carried away. Captive Logs Torn Loose. ASTORIA. Or- Nov. 17. (Special.) Yes terday a number of logs from the broken Cowlitz River boom, which had been picked up by steamers engaged for the purpose, were tied up to the bank in the slough above Cathlamet, the outer end of the boom being made fast to a pile driven In the river. Last night the outer end was loosened by the piling being washed out and a great portion of the logs es caped again. According to a report received from there this afternoon, there is some diffi culty over the price to be paid for rescu ing logs, and some of the steamers en gaged in the work are said to have quit. , HEARST IN A FISTICUFF Joe Pulitzer, Jr., Exchanges Blows With "Yellow" Editor. ST. LOTJIS, Mo., Nov. 17. William R, Hearst engaged in a fisticuff with Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., In the office of the Post Dispatch yesterday. Though all the parties to the affair have little to say. It is learned that real blows were struck and had it not been for intermediaries it Is probable a real battle would have resulted. .After wandering about town for some time Mr. Hearst went up to the Post-Dispatch office to see some of the managers on business. It seems that as he was leaving he met young Pulitzer, and the two talked for a moment, when suddenly they became engaged in a strug gle. Mr. Hearst denies that he struck Pu litzer or that Pulitzer struck him. but ad mits that he did shove the young man aside as he walked out. Hd declined to say what the cause of the trouble was, except to state that the New York edi tor's son asked him some questions which "were none of his d n business." BC8UJESS ITEMS.

He, has remained In the Cabi net largely in, the hope of securing some legislation on the subject, but he has not recommended and will not recommend details of legislation. That Is the pro vince of Congress, until such advice as it may deem wise to invite or to which it may have the opportunity of listening. "The Secreary will be pleased beyond measure if Congress will adopt every de tali of the plan recommended by the re cent committee of bankers and business men. He thinks Congress will have no difficulty in working out a plan thereby, satisfactory to all, though in detail meet ing the wishes In every particular of no one man, whenever it decides to legislate on the subject.

If it shall undertake to add an elastic feature to our present currency system, the Secretary has no doubt of favorable results In short order. That such legislation Is imperative ho thinks recent treasury experiences make apparent. In his report he will strongly urge that something be done, and may suggest several methods for the consid eration of Congress. "The Secretary of the Treasury, being charged only with the responsibility of administering his department under the law as It exists and of making reports to Congress, will not assume the respon sibility involved In recommending the de tails of needed legislation.
