Trains Stalled by Floods and 8,000 Passengers Are Held Up. 1 Spokane; June 8. Spokane la com pletely cut off from the east so far as the Great Northern. Northern Pacific and Canadian' Pacific are concerned. Only way trains can get west of Butte and Helena via the Union Paeiflo and a R. A N. . Many washouts occurred preventing the use of many miles of track, but ar rangements are being mads to run trains between her and Butte or as close as thay can go. Trains between here and Seattle are not seriously af fected. Northern Paclflo officials say they will get into Butte and Helena next Wedneaday or Thursday. Montana points are cut off from telegraphlo commun ication with the west except over the Western Union to Butte. About 8,000 passengers are stalled In this state. The flood Is pronounced the worst In tha history of the northwest. But for an accident in Portland previ ous to auto races there, Spokane would probably have had a contest which would rival anything ever attempted here. W. F. Brayton of the Oldsmobile company had intended bringing Olds car and factory drivers from Portland and start . a 1,000-mile non-stop raca with bonnet and high gear sealed. Tne plan was - to demonstrate the car's ability to run 1,000 miles at high gear without stopping the engine. FOLLOW FLOODS - (Continued from Page One.)

They were In the police station Just for the moment and one of them wanted to get to a, telephone to call a friend, or something of the sort. So he asked the lieutenant behind the desk whether he might use the station ' telephone. The man on duty frowned gloomily and majestically and said: 'The police wire Is for police busi ness only." Rebuked, he fell back and hoped that he hadn't offended. Suddenly the tele phone bell rang and one of the police men moved to answer It. The man who had made the request looked at that fortunate person as If he thought: "He may go to the tele phone. He Is the personification of that majestic thing, police business." Just then the man In tha booth stuck his head out. "Hey, Mike, what was the score of the ball game this afternoon T" be asked. Getting tha answer he might- have been heard by an acute listener to be putting the wheels of police business In motion as follows: "Portland won, four-nothing. S'long."

' ' IS nan without clothes 7 o the proper kind? In , society, in business or at home, it is proper to dress correctly. No man feels on a par with his companions, if those ' companions all have tailored 'clothes and he wears ready-made. Tai lored clothes set a man . off right. If he is care ful about his tailor, his clothes will be of the proper pattern,' will fit . perfectly and will last, longer and look better than if he wears any old thing. The best fitting, most stylish and attract ive clothing worn on the streets of Portland comes from the tables and hands of Columbia Tai lors. They are as well equipped to tailor a man properly as . the archi tect is to 4raw the plans for a house. One other strong feature about Columbia Tailoring is the fact that nothing sty lish can appear upon the streets' of . New York many days s before the same cut, pattern and style has arrived at Co lumbia shop. 3 It - is a policy of this big tailor shop to be behind no body. It is not unusual for Portland tailors to keep a year in the rear in styles. It is the Co lumbia spirit and ag gressiveness that makes Columbia Tailoring the leader in the Northwest. A range of very popular , prices is also a stimulus to business. You can -buy a suit of clothes at the Columbia Shop at. any price from $20 to $50 and get it right. . 'OOLtV s GRANT PBEGLEY, Mgr.
