There is now no way. even by the
most roundabout route, by which any
kind of traffic can beamoved between
Portland and the sound cities excepting
by boat via the straits ef Fucca. Indi
cations today are that no communica
tion by rail can ba restored1 - betwaest
this Uty and' Tacoma before, next Bun
day.' By that time It is expected that
ths Northen Pacific will have been able
.to complete arrangements for transfer
of passengers. - express and mall by
boat from Ooble to Kelso, or construct
a piling bridge over the flooded Toutles
river,' where the most serious waahout
on the Portland-Tacoma line exists. - It
is difficult to secure sny accurate
knowledge -of the situation in the
flooded dlstriot, and ths railroad offi
cials are nearly helpless In any effort
to cooperate In the attempt to restore
normal rtaln service. The telegraph
wires are down and telephone communi
cation is restricted. . . -

The Portland officials of the North
ern Pacific today sent out a pile driver
crew and about too men on a special
train, and they will be landed at the
point nearest accessible to the Touties
river waahout - The river has fallen
four feet since last night and an effort
will be made to rush construction of a
temporary bridge. Should the weather
Change to colder and the rains diminish
they wilt probably succeed in this at
tempt, but with a continuation of the
Chiuook -winds end- fcaavy-ralnfeU- the
Northern Paclfio -engineers will be held
up in the same way. the forces of ths
Southern Paclflo are held at the Santiam
liver, where - Chief Engineer Bosohke

days, ' whtls the waters rise and fall

' Contrary to all expectation, the O. R.
A N. main line was opened last night
and trains from Portland to the east are
being operated. An Immense landslide
at Dodann's station, four miles west of
Bonneville, blocked all trafflo yester
day snd tied up three or four tralnloada

Today the Northern Paclflo Is operat
ing Portland-St. Psul trains over the
O. B. N.. tracks between this city and
Wallula Junction, and is thus enabled to
carry oh Its business with the exception
of that section of its system between
Portlsnd snd. the sound, end the main
line east out vt Tacoma. It., is . said
that sections 01 me irscs in waaningioa
ara washed awsy In the vicinity of
every stream. It Is reported here that
Northern' Pacific engineers, after mak
ing an Inspection of the damage from
floods in Wsshlngton, have recom
mended that the entire main Una of the
Northern Paclflo between Tacoma and
the summit of the Cascades must be
practically rebuilt. In many places
hundreds of yards of track are miss
ing. -'
Stub trains' between Portland and
Ooble will be operated by the North
ern Pacific as soon- as transfer arrange-'
ments csn be made north of Vancouver.
In the meantime local business between
Portland and Ooble will lie taken care
of by the Astoria and Columbia River
trains, which are operated over this
division on Northern' Paclflo tracks.

.District Forecaster Edward A. Beals
Says that from present indication the
Willamette will not go above the It
foot mark, which will be reached some
time . during the night. ' At any rate,
he says, there Is no cause for alarm,
because ths river will rise very slowly
from now on, so that those having
property Interests along - the river
front will have ample time . to take
precautionary measures against dam
ages. His forecast this morning predicts
that ths river will reach the It-foot
stags tonight' or in the early morning.

Washington, Nov. 10. It is virtually
assured that the American troops will
not be withdrawn from Cuba for at
least two years. - The Cubans are hold
ing fondly to the belief that the govern
ment Intends to take Its soldiers and its
civil representatives from the island as
soon as the saw election shall bava been
bald. The Cubans will find themselves
mistaken'. " 4.
High officials of the state department
have come to the conclusion that It
would' be folly to postpone -the day of
slaetloa In Cuba until next July, as the
president and some of his advisers have
favored. '
"A change of plan is under considera
tion, . The policy of the American gov
ernment In Cuba has been determined
and a means of carrying; out the policy
Is being devised. " ...
o'clock this morning the river was 14.1
feet above sero at Portland and showing
very little of a rise during the day.
f "The t lae lnh Willamette," sal Mr.
Beals. "is principally due to the high
water in the Columbia because that re
tards the current of the Willamette,
which Is a good thing because other
wise the current might have caused con
siderable damage to shipping hers.
"The Columbia rose 2.C feet at The
Dalles In the last 14 hours. This rapid
rise Is due to the enormous amount of
rain that haa fallen in that vicinity of
lata. Since the 7th of this month ths
rainfall at ' The Dalles measures $.04
Inches. ' This Is phenomenal 'even for
this time of the year. Today the Co
lumbia is 10. 1 above sero at Umatilla,
or about 7 feet higher .than ordinarily
at thts tlms of the yesr. The fact that
ths Columbia Is holding back the water
of the Willamette will leave high water
here for several days, but there Is very
little danger of It rising about -the 15
foot mark.- Light rains are falling at
all the stations In ths Willamette val
ley,' but they will not add materially
to the flood because cooler weather has
set In and the source of ths water sup

Vancouver, Wash, Nov. 10. Six feet
two Inches in three days is the record
for the rise. In the Columbia river at
this place up to 10 o'clock today. The
river at the ferry, slip opposite Van
couver' now stands It' feet. 4 Inches
above low water. If the -weather to
the east along the river, continues warm,
and considering the stage or water in
the Willamette river, it is more than
likely that Vancouver will see water on
the lower streets of ths city before
another week. It will take less than a
It-foot rise to put it on Washington
street. - The small streams between?
Lyle and .Vancouver are reported run
ning wild, in most cases out of their
banks. -. J
80 dangerous la ths condition of ths
Northern Paclflo track near Woodland
that if the water should rise another six
Inches all traffic over that section of
the line between Vancouver and Kalama
will bea aspended. According to reports
received by the local office of the rail
way company the water has risen within
two feet of the track in several places.
Considerable trouble Is being - ex
perienced on tho Tacolt branch of the
Northern Pacific. A slide which took
out several rail lengths of track took
place near Helson. In the vicinity of
Yacolt and all the country to the north
east the rain haa been especially heavy
and the streams are all swollen badly.
X log lam at the Lewis river bridge
on the Kalama Una of the Northern Pa
clflo threatened that structure for' sev
eral hours, but a crew of Jambreakers
was soon on ths scene and the danger
was removed. - Had tni bridge gone
out trafflo between Vancouver and the
sound would have been brought to a
standstill for several weeks.
Trains on ths Northern Paclflo out
of Vancouver are running without tele-
graphlo Instructions. Ths wires are
down at Several places between here
and Kalama. H. 8. Molntyre. local rep
resentative of the company, has gone
to make an Inspection of the line be
tween here snd Kalama. The track Is
reported to be dangerous in several
places. . .
