Mr. Koeh ler, who wss an engineer, continued the conatructlon of the Oregon A Califor nia road southward, ana meantime Call fornians were building northward from San Franciaco to meet him. and a stage line connected the roads. When the California end reached Redding and the Oregon line got to Roseburg there was an Interval of several years while the builders were accomplishing the diffi cult task of crossing the Slaklyoua, and during thle time the stage line operated between Redding and Roseburg.

"T" " BROKEN WATER MAIN CAUSES TROUBLE GiiaJ ' HII Over Thomas Creek Im passable, and Many Citi- zens Inconvenienced. Havoc was played with the pew All at Corbett and Pennoyer street over Thomaa creek laat night by the break ing of a 10 -inch main of the city water works. The break occurred about 9 o'clock, and before the water was turned off a large amount of damage had been done. ' This morning the All Is closed to traf fic and many of the property owners south of the creek are without any wa ter. A large force of workmen la en gaged repairing the mains, but this Is a very difficult Job, as the earth la very soft, because of the flow of water. It may take all of today and part of to morrow to get the break in the main repaired and the fill In order for the passage of atreet cars and wagons. The break la said to be due to the immense pressure of the fill upon the water pipe and sewer which are laid along Corbett atreet. several feet below the surface of the old gulch. When the Alt was made the earth covered the wa ter main and sewer to a depth of to feet It Is thought that the sewer first broke, saturating the AH with Water. The pressure of the water soaked earth became so great that the main waa parted, and the immense stream poured Into the AH. ROCK ISLAND AGENTS WILL BOOM THE FAIR Of the eight general agenta of the Rock Island railway system In the United States, Portland has one, A. H. McDonald, who haa lust returned from a trip to Chicago, where he attended the annual conference of 100 paaaenger and freight agenta of the Rock Island. Mr. McDonald haa been absent 14 days, five of which he spent in Chicago and St. "It is gratifying to be able to stste that I found every one of the men who attended our meeting well posted on the Lewis snd Clark fair," he said. "The Portland representative brought the sub ject to the attention of the meeting, and the claims of the fair and of "Oregon were urged upon them. We were given two very delightful daylight rides by the company one over the newly com pleted double-track Una from Chicago to St.. Iaouls, snd another over the recent ly built line from St. Louis to Kansas City, the laat named being the most ex tensive piece of road In the country. The service on these lines is the finest that money can provide" Since the Rock Island's Portland agency was established at the corner of Third and stark streets there has been sn enormous Increase In "its local busi ness. The business this yesr has trebled over each corresponding month of the preceding year. TWO NEW TOWNS WANT TO USE THE SAME NAME (Speelsl Dispatch to The Journal t Pendleton, Or., Nov, It: Two new towns have been created In Umatilla county, and both are striving to be known as Hermleton. The first plat waa filed yeaterday, and the other .waa re corded this morning. A strong feeling exists between the persons Interested In the two towns, and the matter may be taken into the courta to establish the right to the name. They are many Scottish residents, and they are loyal to the name of Hermlaton because of the memory of a village In Scotland. Both towns are on the site of the old O. R. A N. station of Maxwell.

L. Mitchell In the Mar quam building. A number of commit tees were appointed and will begin work at once to bring the project to a suc cessful culmination. Enough money haa been guaranteed already to assure a splendid building on tae exposition grounds. Julius Adler waa authorised to piece the bonds of the officers and directors as follows: President, J. L. Mitchell, 500. secretary. Mrs. Lou Ellen Cornell, 11.000. treasurer, Mrs. Margaret Lutke, 16,000; Arst vice-president, J. H. Mlsner, 1600; second vice-president, W. C. North, J 500: third vice-president, Mrs. D.

A communication from the chamber of commerce of Portland waa received, heartily indoralng the objeota of the as sociation and the secretary of that In stitution enclosed a subscription for one share of stock. STRICKEN RAILROAD MAN REACHES HOME W. C. McBrtde. general agent of the Denver A Rio Grande railroad In Port land territory, has returned from a trip to Denver, which waa occasioned by the removal of President O. M. D. Origsby, of the Texas. Sabine Valley North western railway, from the North Pa cific sanatorium to hla heme in Long view, Tex-, and the transporting of the body of Mrs. Origsby to Longvlew for burial. Mr. McBrlde accompanied Mr. Grlgsby as far aa Denver, and there the Texas man waa met by friends and placed In the drawing-room compart ment of a Pullman car, In which he com pleted his Journey without further change of care. ''Mr. Origsby seemed to Improve after we got started." said Mr. McBrlde, "and on the way from Portland to Denver he bore up exceedingly well. He waa un able to walk In making the changes from one road to another, but we had no trou ble In handling him on a stretcher I think he reached Longvlew In better condition than he was when he started from Portland." AUT0M0BILISTS TO ASK FOR BETTER LAWS Automobllists in the state of Oregon are preparing to aak the state legislature to enact lawa governing automobiles and motor-cars, which will have a counter- effect on the logical legislation of the smaller towns of the state. Drivera of cars who strsy from the eltv Into the country vlllagea fear that they will be aubjected to unjust treat ment at the hands of the town officials. The ruling of speed limits within the town boundaries rests with the town of ficial Efforts will be made to secure the oo onerntlon of all the cities and towna In the Btate where motor cars are used in obtaining the desired legislation. It is sshl that the local automobllists w!'l :sk suggestions of those who live Id r :hcr towns In the state. Julius Adler, chief ranger of Portland court. No. 6077. A. O. F., haa received a communication announcing that the per manent secretary of the national court will visit Portland soon. The local court will make arrangements for a re ception In his honor. MAY BUILD SEVER FOR THEMSELVES Property Owners Are Thoroughly Dissatisfied with the One the City Constructed. PLACED ON HILLSIDE, IT HAS PROVED USELESS Mass Meeting at i Hamilton Avenue and Macadam Street Will Discuss the Matter. Property owners in the vicinity of Hamilton avenue and, Macadam atreet are planning a big mass meeting to devise some method of providing for proper sewer drainage In their district. They will also prepare to resist the as sessment of costs of the sswer built last summer on Hamilton avenue and Macadam atreet, which is useleaa to nearly three fourths of the residents of the district. The sewer runs down Hamilton ave nue to Macadam street, where it turns north on Macadam atreet. It la placed on the hillside above the street and la of no use whatever to the residents on the lower aide of the road. Not more than a half dosen houses are aald to be connected-with a sewer which cost the district nearly t4.000. The sewer waa built In this manner against the wishes of the majority of the property owners. They Immedi ately saw that If built ah planned It would be of no inra to them. An appeal waa made ot fniinrilman Zimmerman, and a protest' waa sent to the council, but no attention waa paid to the wishes of the people. One property owner has made the statement that Councilman Zimmerman did not care where the sewer waa placed as long as It was laid Just below his property on Hamilton avenue and Macadam street, where he might receive the greatest benefit. It is the plan of the property own ers to ask the council for permission to construct a sewer down Hamilton avenue to Lowell street to connect with the other sewer. 1 By making this change nearly all the property owners In -the. aewer district will be benefited. Sanitary conditions are said to be very bad in thif , dlatrict. Sinks and cesspools are dag on the hillside and as the earth la yery soft the sewage often breaks through at a lower level. The stench from these cesspools, es pecially during the summer 1 time, Is said to be unbearable. SAL00NMEN VIOLATED DANCING ORDINANCE For violating the ordinance prohibit ing dancing In saloons, Ft. O. Hlbbard and W. Potts, proprietors of the Bruns wick saloon, at 28 North Third street, are in trouble. They were arrested this afternoon, the complaint being drawn up by Deputy Attorney Fltagerald. According to the police tne Bruns wick Is one of the worst dives In the north end Patrolmen Baty and Burke, who handed In the report which cauaed the arreats to be made, aay the saloon bears a bad name and that derogatory reports concerning it nave been in cir culation for some time. About 11:60 o'clock last night the patrolmen walked Into the saloon and discovered a number of women of loose morals dancing with rounders in a rear room, all being in a more or leas In toxicated condition. The report was made to Captain Moore and handed to Chief Hunt this morning. As soon as he had read it the chief Instructed Warrant Officer Oolts to lay a complaint. Ball was furnished by the accused men, who will appear in the polios court before juage nogue to morrow morning. TWO DOZEN HOBOES ARE MARCHED OUT OF TOWN Two abreast. 16 hoboes were marched out of the police station and down to the railroad tracks on the east side of the Burnslde street bridge this morning and told to leave the city. They formed a cavalcade bringing; to mind the children following the pled piper of Hamlin. Before the "vags were permitted to go they were Inspected by Chief Hunt "I want to mske a mental note, ao that If I ever aee any of you fellows again I will know you," said the bead of the department. Eight more vagrants were sent out and ordered to 'head from the city In their march through the state with the great army of tramping Trilbies later on In the day.

MAY CARRY FLOUR TO VLADIVOSTOK Commission Men Say That Is the Destination of Steam ship Ellamy. Flour men In a position to know say that the steamship Ellamy will take a cargo of flour from ft his city direct to Vlsdlvostok. About a week ago there were rumors of the chartering of the steamer for the orient, but they were denied by the men who were mentioned aa the char terers. Now the story Is current that for business reaeons the destination and the chartering of the Ellamy Is being kept secret, as the owners and exporters do not care to take the risk of exposing their ship to a conflict with several first-class battleships. It hss been known for some time In local flour circles that auppllea of flour st Vladivostok were very short. Some time ago Just previous to the breaking out of hostilities a local flouring mill company cancelled a large order which It had with the Russian government be cause the risk of lsndlng the stock would be too great, l.ntet the order was given to a large eastern concern, but It, too, waa compelled to give up the project on account of the actltve and sec urate displays of gunnery by the Japanese fleet. Now a story Is reported that the gov ernment of the csar haa offered local exporters a high figure If they will guarantee to land flour at Vladivostok, and to reimburse them If the stocks should fall Into the hands of the enemy. It Is ssld the Ellamy will take sup plies of flour nrd feed to the Russian city, aa horse feed la scarce there, and the lack of it hinders to a great extent the movement of the troops.
