In various parts ef the city where

flooded. In Overlook the streets were
veritable oanals during the rain. A

out a section of the Street measuring
about 10 by 40 feet.
The district roughly bounded by Pine.

Albany, Nov. 27. Albany was virtually
flooded Sunday by rain that began fall
ing Saturday. Streets In places were
impassable to automobiles and all roads
south of Albany Sunday night were
clcsed to motor vehicle traffic Even
the Pacific highway north of Albany
threatened to become flooded before
morning. Traffic is passing along the
east side Albany-Corvallls road to Cor-
vallis.
Basements throughout the city were
flooded by backwater from sewers, but
as yet little damage has- been reported.
The rainfall from S o'clock Sunday morn

slide brought down soft mud to a depth
of about three feet over a part, of the
road, while a number of boulders on the
pavement proved dangerous to motorists.
A smaller slide, which threw a number
of boulders and some mud into the road,
occurred near Horse Tail Falls, between
Goble and Rainier. The pavement ap
parently has not been damaged by either
slide.
A trestle on the Columbla-Nehalem
railroad, two miles south of Kerry, has
been carried away by a landslide, sweep
ing down the canyon spanned by the
bridge, according to word received from
Kerry this morning by long distance tele
phone. The trestle was 180 feet long and
was on the main logging railroad, which
taps the timbered country south of Ker
ry. As a result of being cut off oft the
Columbia river, the logging camps above
the trestle will probably be closed until
repairs can be effected. Early estimates
of the damage indicate that three weeks
will be needed to replace the trestle.
LASHING EAST WI?D HITS
MOCTH OF COLUMBIA BITER
Astoria, Nov. 21. The storm at the
mouth of the Columbia river broke Into
a lashing easterly wind about S o'clock
Sunday evening. The wind velocity at
North Head at 4 o'clock was reported
at 24 miles an hour, but this Increased
later with added torrents of rain. After
blowing from the southwest Saturday the
gale moderated somewhat early Sun
day morning, the wind shifting to the
cast. The temperature dropped rapidly
and with the accompanying rain came
the freezing up to Sunday night.
The week end storm, one of the year's
most severe, caused several minor
slides on the lower Columbia highway.
The largest of these is reported by mo
torists about one mile west of Ciats-
k&nie, near the place where a slide tore
out a section of pavement last winter.
The present slide brought down soft
mud to a depth of about three feet over
a part of the road, while a number of
boulders on the pavement proved dan
gerous to motorists. A smaller suae,
which threw a number of boulders and
some mud into the road, occurred near
Horse Tail falls, between Goble and
Rainier. The pavement apparently has
not been damaged by either slide.

that It meant warmer weather, with i
possibility of a Chinook today, al
though, he said, it was difficult to de
termine the probability of this in the
absence of the reports of thatHher Sta
Hons. A Chinook now would 'mean a
severe flood In the Walla Walla valley.

been greatly impaired by the storm and
no trains reached here from Portland.

A covernment employe has figured this
out.
A man died recently leaving an estate of
$48,000 accumulated from an investment of
I20.QOO in savings and loan stock.
These instances are an indication of the
accumulation to be acquired by savings.
you can start an estate sow that will
accumulate rapidly, from money that is
' spent uselessly. Start an. account with us
this week. Yotfll never repet it.
All the strong adjectives
and superlatives that
tnight properly or im
properly be applied to a
sale have already been
used by others.
Therefore, we simply an
nounce the first and only
sale we have held in
years.
We will soon move intd
larger and better quarters.
The cost of moving our
immense stock would be
very expensive. We pre
fer to give that expense to
our customers in the form
of lowered prices, with
some additional reduc
tions. These prices need no
added argument for those
already familiar with the
quality of merchandise
and prices of the only
Juvenile store in Port
land. X visit from" those who
do not know us, if there
are any such, will reveal
many pleasant surprises.
