On account of the wreck the Wednes-
day nights Oregon overland was un-
able to proceed to Portland on the east
side. The Oregon Pacific company,
however, granted the Southern Pacific
company permission to run to this city
over it's line, enabling the overland to
reach the west side division of the S.
