Tlie Storm s:a Waterloo5'' For lie
Southern Pacific.
ritESH Tiieutihi: at ;z,i:xialj:,
VoiitimKSd, Feb. 8. The situation
of the railway blockades remains
unchanged. Messrs. Brandt and Koh
ler of the Southern Pacific railway
company visited the scene of the wash
out on their line from East Portland
this morning and now have a large
force over making repairs which will
Ik? completed within three or four
days. The track is completely washed
away from K street to U, a distance of
orer l,, of a mile.
"I would bo a happy man," said Mr.
Itraudt, "if that washout could only
be said to be the worst which we have
met with. AVo have found a "Water
loo sure enough and there is abso
lutely no telling when we can get our
through trains in motion. Onr facil
ities for securing velialbe reports from
the wrecked positions of the road are
so inadequate to the situation that I
cannot say just what condition the
road is in, but I feel sure it could
hardly be worse. "We are hiring all
the men w can find and will do our
utmost to make speedy repairs."
The road is now in a serviceable con
dition from the junction to llose
burg, but beyond the latter place it is
just the reverse. FjiLsc trestle work
bridges will be put in where the cuts
cannot lx made quickly through the
landslides. The road will run around
the obstruction until the earth can be
removed. Two years ago a breach of
two miles was made in the trestle work
of Cow Creek canyon, the scene of the
great trouble at the present In three
days time trains were passed over
the falsework which had been nut in.
There is little prospect now that a
Southern Pacific train will be run
either way between here and San
Fraiicico before a month has elapsed-
On the Union Pacific Line.
Not less than two miles of land
slides have occurred during the pre
vailing "reign of terror," along the
Union Pacific, between here and The
Dalles. The worst places are, of
course, in the vicinity of Bonneville
and Cascades. Large forces of men
are now at work with steam shovels,
and all other appliances, cutting away
debris and building bridgas anil
trestle work. At Oneonta a curve will
bo made from the main line around
the land slide until the earth can bo
cleared away. The calculation is that
by next Monday night a train will
leave The Dalles for Portland. The
schedule may fall short, however, as
possibly the trains cannot bo sent out
for a Aveek.
At present all Union Pacific freight,
passengers and mails destined for
Portland are put aboard the Harvest
Qncen and transferred to the Port
land l)oat at the portage railway at
the Cascades.
Taken altogether, the railroad situ
ation is nlxmt as bad as it could possi
bly lie, and high as they have been, or
Tor that matter, turbulent as they
continue to be, the rivers are the only
agents able to act :is a highway by
which Portland can be reached from
the south or cast.

Poktmxd, Feb. 8. -A. G.Schwatku,
uncle of Lieut. Frederick Schwatka,
of Arctic Tame, left Yreka, California,
some three weeks ago. bound north on
snow shoes. Nothing w;is heard from
him, and his friends began to think
he had perished in the snow. There
was talk of organizing a search party,
but to-day his friends received a dfs
palch dated "Grant's Pass," saving: "I
am coming. I made the whole dis
tance on snow shoes. I have a tale
well worth listening to, to tell when
I see you."

More Trouble on the Southern Oregon Kail
road Track.
AsnxAxn, Or., Feb. & A report has
reached here from Glendale, that an
immense slide has occurred on the
railroad half a mile southwest of the
fork of Cow Creek ennvnn. Tim olli
came from a high mountain down to
uie oottom or the canyon, a distance
or 800 or 1,000 feet covering the track
and filling the canyon.
The report says that the trees are
standing on the slide the same as they
were when it started from the summit.
The water is backed up iu the can
yon for a distance of three miles and is
500 feet wide and from fifty to seventy
fegt deep. Tunnel 3 is completely
buried. The water in the creek is trying
to flow through the slide but the
earth is jammed in so tight that so
far it has not given way. The tele
graph line men built a raft and to-day
tried to get a line across the lake that
has leen formed.

"WiNNirnc, Manitoba, Feb. 7 A
genuine blizzard has been raging here
all the afternoon and has developed
into the worst storm since 1SS."3. Snow
has fallen to the depth of three or
four feet, and is now falling at the
rate or a foot an hour. In the driving,
blustering storm it is imiossible to
see a hundred feet, and the tempera
ture has gone down from fire above
zero at three o'clock to 2 lielow at 6
o'clock. The wind was from the south
when the storm began, but is now
blowing from the northwest, at the
rate of fortv-fire miles an hour.
ltnilronds are already experiencing
much difficulty in moving trains, and
if the storm continues, a blockade is
inevitable.
Great Daniasc In Southern Oregon.
Ashland, Or., Feb. 7. The extent
of the damage by the late rains to the
Oregon & California railroad between
hero and Bosebnrg, 150 miles north
or here, can not be estimated even ap
proximately, but it is very heavy.
The railroad from Grant's Pass to
Boscburg is rejiorted one continua

Sonthern Oregon are reported very
high.

Canned lly llackwater.
Sonle anxiety was caused here dur
ing the Hood on account of news be
ing received that the Columbia was
rising. It appears that this was a
mistake, and that the apparent rise of
the Columbia was backwater from the
Willamette. Mr. Frank "Warren, who
was at the Cascades during the flood,
states that at his fish wheel just be
low the Cascades the Columbia was
two feet lower than it was last June,
while at his cannery, three miles be
low the fish wheel, the Avater was
three feet higher than it was last June.
This proves conclusively that the riso
in the Columbia was all between the
Cascades and the mouth or the "Will
amette, and was caused by the Hood
injuring out of that rirer backing up

A 'EKY FAVOR A II LE SllOiriXfi.
New York, Feb. 8. A special tele
gram to BrailslreeVs indicates a mod
erate improvement in general mer
chandise east of the Bocky mountains
with more reasonable weather and
consequently a more active demand
for staple goods. Prices of cattle and
hogs generally tend lower, on a free
movement. "Wheat is depressed on
the Pacific coast by free offerings, and
large interior stocks. Groceries, dry
goods and drugs are fairly active.
Iron prices are fairly steady on the
belief that tho demand will increase
at au early date; but anthracite coal
is barely steady, with no improvement
in tho demand for domestic purposes.
The industrial situation is attracting
attention, with an increasing number
of employes on a strike, and an out
look for a strike of considerable pro
portions May 1st, and in case a gen
eral concession is not made that eight
hours shall constitute a day's work.
The prico movement continues fair
and regular, as for several months
past. Wall street has been abandoned
to proressional operators during the
week. The bears have been most
active. Money has been quiet and
isy.
Notwitlistandiug the decrease in the
New York bank surplus reserves, and
high rates or discount at London, the .
brightest spot in the street has been ''
active demand for railway bouds, one
or two new loans having been snb-
scnucd for twice over. ?
The bank clearings at thirty-five
cities for January agregate $5,139,044,-
944, or 7?4 per cent more than m Jan
uary, 1889, 10 per cent more than in
December List, and are exceeded only
by the monthly totalas as in October,
1889 mid December 1S8G.
Beports to BradstreeVs show 1,7S1,
707 pounds of Hour in stock in first
and second hands at 53 cities Feb
ruary 1st, an increase of. 17,931 bar
rels since January 1st. BradstreeVs
report of available stocks of wheat
east of the Bocky mountains in the
United States and Canada show 49,
691,314 bushels, on February 1st, or
4,535,827 bushels less than on Jan
nary 1st.
The month's decrease for both coasts
is5,9SG,7Gl bushels. Compared with
a year ago, eastern stocks are 2,276,727
bushels larger and on both coasts 3,
9 ,1G9 bushels larger.
BradstreeVs totals, with Beerbohm's
report of stocks in Europe and afloat
there Feb. 1st, show a decrease of 5,
558,585 bushels during Jan., or 8.Y
per cent and a decreaso of 13,925,585
bushels compared with Feb
ruary' 1st, 18S9 or 11-6 per cent.
Exports or wheat and flour as wheat
this week from both coasts equal
20,214,297 bushels against 1,163,851
bushels last week.
The total shipped July 1st to date
is 61,0:12,698 bushels against 59,455,500
bushels in like portions of 1SSS-S9.
Dry goods are more active at Bos
ton, and to a leaser degree at New
York, but trade as a whole does not
equal expectations.
Wool is inactive, with prices favor
ing the buyer, particularly on pulled
and territory grades.
There are larger port receipts and
weaker cables, save depressed cotton
prices, at all markets except New
York.
The total number of failures in the
United States since Janunrv 1st is
1887, against 1871 in 1S89. Editor
