Then Has a Train DeraiIed.

PORTLAND, Dec. 26.-The Union Pacific
limited fast mail, which left here at 7:3O
tonight, was deraied near I.atourelse
Falls, thirty miles east OF this city. The
engine, baggage and express cars left the
track, but so far as learned, no one was
injured
The Union Pacific succeeded this morn
ing in lifting the blockade on ITS line,
caused by the late snowstorm. The first
passenger train, conveying 800 passengers,
arrived this morning. and two more trains,
conveying the remainder of the 600 de-
layed passengers, arrived this afternoon.

Willamette has risen four feet in the past
TWEEN ty-four hours. The Santiam canal
has overtiowed its banks. and the eastern
suburbs of the city are flooded. Several
bridges have been washed away. and side
walks are ahoat in many places. The

is rising slowly. The Santiam has
stopped rising.
SALEM. Or. Dec. 26.-fSpecial. AT
Salem the Willamette river is fourteen
feet above low water mark. The rise today
was TWO and a half feet.
The rapidIy-melting snow was too much
for the capacity OF the Salem sewers. Mill
creek is raging. and the new bridge on
South Winter street was condemned this
evening. Gazing embankments on Mill
creek AT South Commercial street made
the new bridge there impossible.
SPOKANE, Dec. 26.--The storm of last
week seriously affected railroad travel and
traffic on nearly all the lines in Eastern
Washington. Northern Idaho and Mon
tana. The Great Northern train due here
ct : O'Clock this morning was ten hours
behind time. and on that account
the east-bound train tonight was
abandoned. The trouble is occa-
stoned By deep snow and heavy drifts in
the Rocky mountains. Trains are run
ming regularly westward on that line as

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 26.-All reports from
the surrounding country are to the effecs
that the water is very high. Sacramento
river has been rising quite rapidly
here, and tonight reached the twenty-six.
foot mark. Owing TO the high state Of
the rivers north it is expected the
river will be higher than ever before.
The levee on the Yolo side, opposite the
city, is high and strong. but above and be-
low Washington are several weak places
that cannot stand q much greater
rise. The American river reached
the highest point early yes
terday morning, when it rose
forty feet in a narrow gorge opposite the
state prison at Folsom. 1t carried out all
the logs In the boom of the American
River Lumber Company, also a big scow
moored there. The water ran twenty-five
feet deep over the big dam AT the prison.
Since then the American has fallen twelve
feet there, but y telephone message this
evening from the warden to the Record
Union states that another slight rise
Is noticeable. The country north of
Marysyilie for miles IS flooded and the
railroad tracks are under water. Three
trains are off the track on the Oregon line,
one at Blggs. one at Iuba City,
and one at Gridley. Trains are run
from here to Marysville, and all the Ore
gon traffic goes by way of Davisville,
Woodland and Willows to Tehama. Today
locomotive plunged into washous
near Villa, and the engineer and fireman
were both slightly hurt. The roads are
open in all directions from here, but the
trains can not all run on schedule time.
MARYsyILLE, Cal, Dec. 26.--The city n
surrounded by water ON all sides, and
thousands and thousands of acres of grain
are flooded. The water is very high in the
Yuba river. 1t is feared that some weak
point may be struck in the levee, or that
the levee will become SO thoroughly soaked
as to give way. Many household effects
were put upstairs this afternoon. The
levee district of Sutter county broke last
night, also the Rideout levee. Cattle and
hogs are reported drowned on the old
Brannan ranch. Boats were sent by tho
mayor of Rideout on the train to Marcusa
station to rescue 200 head of beef cattle.
which were, however, rescued from the
water before arrival. The country for
miles around Marysville is under water.
The city levees will be able to stand seven
more feet of water. Men patrol tho lsves
for seven miles day and night The river
Is rising slowly again tonight.

WALLACE In THE CABINET.
Fuller's Son-in-Law Said to Stand Some
Chance of Nomination.

WARRINGTON CITY. Dec. 26.-tSpecial. +
Senator Sanders of Montana is out in an
interview stating that it is his belief that
Hugh C. Wallace. of Tacoma. Democratic
national committeeman from Washing
ton. will he a member of the Cleveland
cabinet. Sanders says he is satisfied that
Democratic sentiment in the Northwest
favors Wallace for a position of this kind
Owing to the fact that Sanders is Re-
publican. his opinion is not given muc
weight among Democratic leaders here. 1t
is a fact, however. that Wallace's name is
frequently mentioned in connection with
a cabinet position. Some believe that had
Washington given a smaller majority for
President Harrison, young Wallace would
have had his name seriously considered by
the president-eiect. In view of the fact
that his father-in-law is on the su-
preme bench and a close friend of Cleve-
land. Wallace may be nearer the goal than
some leading Democrats in this section
imagine.
