Hy a heavy rainstorm which occur
red on the Illue mountains at 4
o'clock yesterday evening,' traffic on
the O. R. & N. was tied up last night.
A landslide and waterspout com
bined, struck westbound freight train
No. 23, yesterday evening nt 4:30, a
mile ai.d a half east of North Fork
station and elKht rats were ditched
and about lf.O feet of track damaged
The engine passed through the slid'!
but the cars were caucht and partly
burled by the flood of debris which
came down a canyon Juki east of the
McLaughlin place at North Folk. No
one was Injured in the accident. The
engine of the train In charge of En
gineer Frank I'ike, came on Into Pen
dleton last evening.
About 200 men were at woik clear
ing away the debris this morning, and
It Is expected that No. 2, the eastbound
train, due here at 5:35 this evening,
will be able to pass over the moun
tain. No. 2 from Portland turned around
here last night and ran back to Port
land as No. 5. at 10:50 and No. 5
turned around at La Grande and went
east at- No. 2. This morning train
No. 6 left here at 9 o'clock and ran
to the wreck where the passengers
were transferred to a train waiting
there and the passengers from No. 1.
were brought back on the train re
turning to this city. This train was
run to Portland as No. 1 this afier-
noon.
Trainmen on the wrecked train say
that a wall of water, dirt, rocks, trees
and broken logs at least 20 feet high
came down the canyon and aoioss tin
track and It is a miracle that the en
gine passed through. However, the
engine passed before the worst canio
down.
A very heavy rain fell on the Blue
mountains and several small bridges
an 1 culverts east of lluion were dam
aged, but not enough to delay traf
fic. The train which was wrecked
was running cautiously and was al
most out of reach of the jlunger when
the flood of debris came down the
moul'taln. Hal the train been two
minutes earlier It would have missed
the slide entirely.
Iteports of a heavy rain all iver the
eastern portion of the slate have been
received here. Llltle damiige was
done anywhere else and the O. R. it
N. will not be disabled at any other
point.

MONEY COSTS MORE SINCE
SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER.
Bonds Taken In at 4:73 WlUch Prior
to April 18 Could Have Been Had
at 4.3(1 Enormous Amount of
.Monty Diverted to Paying of losM
and Rebuilding of 'Frisco Cause
Comparative SlHirtage Mr. S tin
man Regards Pendleton Bonds a
Hlirli Class Anywhere.
That the San Francisco fire and
earthquake losses have had a very
decided influence upon the money
market Is shawn by the bond pur
chases that were made at the meet
ing of the Woodmen head manager
recently held In Denver. At that e-
sion $ti,000 of the equalization fund
was used In purchasing Missouri
county bonds which netted 4.75.
According to A. D. Stlllman, head
manager, these bonds would have
gone for 4.30 a few months ago, and
the advance is attributed entirely to
the stringency caused by the 'Frisco
disaster.
'".VltMn the past few months," said
Mr. Stlllman, "the netting in the bond
market has advanced an avetage of
about 20 points, the same being due te
the enormotu amount f money n
ed by the Insurance companies Id
meeting their losses." f
Pendleton Bonds Good.
But while the bond market Is now
stronger than a few months ago, Mr.
Stlllman says no difficulty should be
met with by this city In disposing of
the street paving and levee repairing
bond Issues which must be' made
shortly.
It has been estimated In the past
that the street paving bonds would
draw 6 per cent as they will be r
deemeble after one year and run for
but 10 years. In Mr. Stlllman's opln
ion per cent bonds will readily sell
at par, and the same might be trot
If they drew but 5 'i per cent.
