A number of the vessels are long overdue, and the storm undoubtedly as sisted them very materially in making , a fairly creditable passage. Bavarro'e Bong-h Exp.ri.no. After losing two day off the mouth of the Columbia river the steamer Nav. arro arrived fn port at 10 o'clock last night from San Francisco. Officers of tha vessel report that in storm of Wednesday and Thursday was one of the worst they ever experi enced. Coming up the coast they had a fine passage, but when within sight of the Columbia river they encountered a southwest gale of Unusual fury. The lightship was sighted, and an effort made to. keep within easy reach of her. Heavy seas swept over the deck and the little craft was tossed about by the waves like a toy boat. Nothing was lost overobard, and no damage was done. At one time the vessel was driven about 11 miles north of the lightship by the gale.. but managed to beat her way back before the storm had subsided. She crossed the bar yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. i Astoria Una in Oood Shape. City Passenger Agent Stewart of the Astoria & Columbia River railroad, this morning denied that traffic was being delayed by a landslide at Bugby, or that . any unusual danger was. imminent. He aald: "As long as any lin of railroad runs along hills that are loosely constructed and not of living rock I suppose land slides will bf more or less frequent dur ing wet weather. We cleared up the track in aix. hours yesterday morning, and our passenger trains last night and V.. today were on time. .V " "We transferred passengers only on tha first train yesterday morning, and little delay was experienced. Had the unusual rainfall continued for another .day we might have had more trouble. ' snd other lines would also have been af flicted With tha same complaint. The 'elide came about sundown Thursday night, and we could do nothing until - the next morning. We did not even know tha extent of the damage until yesterday .morning, and soon cleared a passage after our crews were set to work, There were several lesser slides after the main one, but they were only the usual incidents ofnMny weather.' and - w' are not worried orer 'the prospect at Bugby or other points on the Astoria line." iv-vBaaTisst riu ia m ,xx (Journal Special Service.) . Omuha. Neb., Nov. 7. A message which said, "Meet me at depot 11 o'clock tonight Clara Coffin," was de livered to Postmaster Crowe of this' city at a late hour Thursday night. Mr. Crowe went to the station at the time appointed and was looking around tlxi room to find Ihe young lady, when sho suddenly arena from the scat on which he had been lying, and after throwing her arms around Mr. Crowe's neck, ex claimed; "Thank God, now I am saved. At the time of making this startling declaratlop Miss Coffin was about to collapse and had to be assisted to a carriage, which was waiting outside the station door. Miss Coffin Is the pretty daughter .of Edward Coffin, the well-known New Jersey oil magnat. and who resides at Bast Oraoget After arriving at the home of Mr. Crow, she told tha follow ing strange story: "While I wua at the high school at East Orange,"., abe aald, "I met in one of the corridor a strange, dark woman, With piercing eyes, which she fixed at Oi e. Ho soon as my eyes met her glance t trembled violently, but managed to escape from her Into a recitation room. When I was returning home from the school I again met this woman on a street near, my home, and she again transfixed" her eyes on me. This time 1 was completely In' her. power, and when she told me. to 'go, to my home, get some of my clothes and some money and meet her at the depot 1 could not refuse her. "We boarded tha train and while some where out in Iowa I saw the name Omaha on a station sign board I aud denly remembered that I had relatives there and made plans for an escape. I asked my captive to allow me to go to the toilet room, which was granted me and here I wrote the message to Mr. Crowe which a- kind-hearted porter transmitted for me at the next station. At Cedar Rapids the train stopped to change engines and there was another train at the depot going In the opposite direction. Our train stopped here a short time and just then as the other train began to move I ran to the door and before the woman could stop me, had sprung on board. I. do not know what became of the dark woman." Last night-Miss Coffin was very ill and Postmaster Crowe says that she will be unable to travel for some time. The police discredit her story. ably necessitate .the closing of achool In many of the outlying districts. With one half of tho county set aside for forest reserve and no tax levy this year, It will take josepnin county years to recover Its normal condition. R. L. BARTLrETT. County Clerk. THREATENED TO KILL WIFE AT THE FERRY - During the last two days there was a greater rainfall' In Portland than dur ing the entire month of October. Thurs day and Friday the total rainfall amounted to 3.78 Inches, While in Octo ber it was only 2.20 inches.

ToVh Edi tor of The Journal. In reply to your 1 telegram concerning the financial condi tion of l'ua county, and the proba ble effect Ju l' tor th current year, I woSVjuy that the financial con dition of tliTcounty is good. I'mattlla county warrants are, In many rases, sell ing above par at the present time, and It la not probable that they would, go below pur If they were ta run another year without a levy. Failure to make a levy for this year would have no detrimental effect on the county other than Increasing the amount of Interost by about M.000 for the year, but the pittas and the school districts would he crippled by the. failure of a levy. The county court, who have been endeavoring to wipe out the county debt are averse to increasing the Interest pay ments which the county has to meet. and are In favor of a special session of the legislature, as they believe it to be the better policy to decrease the debt of the county while the times are prosper ous.

Senator Deit rich refuses to discuss the charge that he trafficked in the Hastings post mastership, disposing, of It for 1,B00. rolltlclans generally consider the charge a revival of the feud of long standing rjetween Dietrich and ex-Post. master Halm, whom Fisher succeeded. The matter was brought before the grand jury last May, but the. senator explained everything satisfactorily. One familiar with the deal says Dietrich erected the building into which the post- omee was moved rrom its old quarters In the Grand Army building. The Grand Army owned the old postofflce fixtures and Dietrich agreed to sanction Fisher's fight for the place, providing he paid x i-. .a a , , a. . ' uie umiiu Ann j pui iur in via nxiures. BRYAN ADMITTED TO ACT AS EXECUTOR Chicago, Nov. 7. No official notice of a general strike has been received by Structural iron Workers here. Officials pay the building season 1r nearly over. Less than 1.200 will be affected by the general strike order. Secretary O'Brien is of the opinion ihe strike won't be called against the contractors who are not affiliated with the New York associa tion, with which the union has had trou ble. Officials of the local union of bridge . and structural iron workers have re ceived no notice of ii general strike. No local contractor Is a member of the New York association, and for that reason no difficulty is anticipated. It Is believed that the fight will be directed wholly Bgalnet that one association. Aerree- vments are In force with the majority of the other associations. (Journal Special Service.) New Haven, Conn., Nov. 7.

To the Editor of The Journal: In reply to your telegram regarding tax levy, will say: The pres ent Indebtednes of Polk county is about $30,000. If we fall to collect taxes on this as sessment It will cause great trouble to our schools and cities, and certainly In crease, the indebtedness and expense, of the county, besides breaking up a good vtttom of collecting, and an established custom of paying taxes 'regularly, and at a time when people are willing and able to pay. , The new tax law Is not very favor ably regarded here, and In my Judg ment a return to the old tax law would give general" satisfaction.

'Decorate the. construction. But do not construct the decoration." Such a principle conscientiously kept In view cannot but bring good results; Its vio lation results in a senseless fraud, de moralising to the taste of the commun ity where such violation may occur. Pub! to works, In a common sense, play a part In the education of a people, and their authors and builder have conse quently, tofthat extent, a responsibility in addition, to the mere utilitarian idea of endurance and safety. In the true meaning of the word architecture unadorned construction is aa much a part aa the. more popular Idea that it merely covers the art of pro ducing pleasing effects. A man cannot bi good architect before he Is a good constructionist, no matter how dextrous he. may be In devising forms of pleasing effect, and In bridge building there ' is little room for artistic architecture. Any pleasing effect produced roust grow out of consistency of design, and a thor ough knowledge of the peculiarities of materials of construction and color. To an educated person correct, construction always produces a aenae of satisfaction. for In it ia Involved the Idea of propor tion and appropriateness for the service to which It is put. Concealment of constructive forms, by mouldings, pan els, or other devices, to suggest some thing other than what the construction really Is, la vulgar aa well as dishonest To construct a girder bridge and give it the appearance of being an arch. Il lustrates what ia here meant by falsity In architecture. "The essential elements of i good brtdge consists In so applying the ma terials of construction to a given design as to have all parte of the work equally strong under the maximum loads that can ever come upon it, and that a proper relation, -called the factor of aafety,' as usually applied,1 should exist between the maximum loading and the strength v.

Governor Chamberlain was shown the law ..quoted by The Journal, which was enacted in 1903, providing that in counties of 50,000 or more inhabitants Multnomah) "expenditures shall be confined to the amount of the annual levy therefor," and that officials whe shall create any liability In excess of the amount ofthe levy shall be person- lly and individually liable therefor The governor was asked what view he took of it, and replied: It la true, of course, that that law a In force. But, I believe the people will not be afraid to credit the county of Multnomah or any other county, for that matter, ror legitimate expenses. As I stated previously to 'The Journal, I would not hesitate to sell $100,000 of goods to the county, had I such goods and were they needed for legitimate carrying on of government. And, -as to county officers' salaries, there would be no difficulty, in my opinion, to adjust that matter. "I do not argue that it would not be inconvenient, but I do argue that it vould bo possible to carry on govern ment in Multnomah county. Even though warrants were not issued, bills would be valid and would 'be honored later, when the legislature had had time and opportunity to cure the lamentable defects in the statute that have been I pointed out by the supreme court. I will repeat what I said to The Journal yesterday, that I have received no word from any senator or represen tative of any county, officially Inform ing me that their counties, cities or municipalities would suffer serious or fatal estoppel of government, or that a situation would be entailed that would essentially prevent the complete carry ing out of the functions of government l would be Instructed substantially were: such official notifications to come to rpe from members of the legislature residing! in the counties that are claimed to be liable to serious jar iff the vperutiou of government, ia the event, many directions in this "a-In some cases, as in that of the Port of Portland, work which Is of the utmost Importance to this city, will hve to be, discontinued; tha city of Port land will have to largely cease exert ing the functions for which It is incor porated; the expenditures of the school limited to the.lr borrowing capacity; the conduct of the government of the county of Multnomah limited to such funds as may be received from sources other than taxes; and the efficiency of the various departments of government in every di rection reduced to a minimum, and in some directions absolutely paralyzed.
