Travel.
LAND UNDERLINED BY WATER
No Sooner Does the Union Pacific Clear
Its Tracks Than Other f1aSSeS of
Earth Come Sliding Down.
Special to THE MORNING CALI

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 10. Rain fell in
torrents this morning in this city and
throughout the Willamette Valley. For
half an hour or more the streets were
deluged and the sewers flooded. In the
western portion of the city a cloud
burst occurred and small trees and logs
were carried down Tanner and johnson
creeks, but no damage of consequences was
done. The heavy downpour was rather
beneficial than detrimental, as the sewers
were flooded and all malaria carried of.
The weather cleared at about noon. and
tonight there Is prospect of frost.
A rerort from Fort Candy this morning
stated that the wind had velocity of fifty
miles an hour. and that the weather along
the coast was unusually severe.
Trains on the Union Pacific are still de-
layed by the landslide at Reeds farm, near
the Cascades. The slide ceased moving
yesterday afternoon. and two ste am
shovels were put to work clearing the
track.
This had almost been accomplished when
the stream of soft earth, trees and powders
began again to move down the mountain
side until this afternoon, when the track is
as deeply covered as ever. About fifty
acres of Reeds farm have been completely
ruined. being covered by mass of earth
and rock. His barn and several outbuild-
ings have been picked up by the stream
and pushed along for considerable dis
lance. About ten acres Of the mountain
side Is said TO be undermined by water and
is liable to slide into the river at any time.
The whole slope for mile back from the
river appears 10 be separated from the bed
rock and to be gradually sliding down the
canyon into the river.
The railroad company is puzzled to find
means OF overcoming the obstruction. Pas
sergers and mails are transferred by boat
without serious delay. but the company can
handle only small amount of freight
