TRAIN TROUBLE

Heavy snow has practically tied
up all railroad traffic in the North
west. A snowslide on the o. r. &
N. blocked all trains on that di-
vision. According to official re-
ports a time freight will be through
tonight about 10 O'Clock. Several
carloads Of pershables were
shipped in VIC. Umatilla yesterday.
No. 7 toward Pendleton got out all
right this morning and the Wallace
branch is in fair condition for
traffic. But nothing can get
through to Portland.
Train connections for the east
are permanently cut off for the pres
ent and no trains on this road are
being send out for fear of heavy
snow in the mountains. Trains on
the Northern Pacific average "a
hours late. Sundays North Coast
Limited is expected today about
3:15. Twelve Oriental Flyers have
been reported snowbound near
Havre, Mont. Two Of them are re-
ported released and are expected
in this evening at about s O'Clock.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. s.
A Chicago paper wired to the Japa
nese minister of foreign affairs ask
ing the attitude Of Japan in the
present situation. The minister re-
ferred the paper to the Japanese
ambassador at Washington and Or
dered Aok to convey to the Ameri-
can people the Japanese govern
ment's disavowal of all inclination
toward war, and its belief that the
differences now existing are sus-
ceptible of pacific treatment"
Aoki directed the counsellor to
the embassy to say:
"Stories that Japan has made
any demands or delivered any ulti-
matum to the United States are
without foundation. There has
never even been a clash of opinion
between the United States and
Japan. The state department, from
the start, conceded we are right and
that the treatment of our children
in San Francisco is in violation of
the treaty. We leave the matter
there as resting only with the fed
eral government"
