Badly Damaged by the
Storm
LINE IS BADLY CRIPPLED
Traffic On the Ilwaco Line Is SUE
pended Perhaps For Weeks Before
the Necessary Repairs Can Be
Made.

. PORTLAND, Jan. 2O.--Reports Of
heavy damage to roadbed, bridges,
trestles and other property Of the
Hartman lines ia the Northwest are
being received today. The most SER
ious mishap as the result Of the down
pour Of rains and high winds is the
destruction Of 100 feet or nearly
quarter of miles Of the roadbed on
the new extension Of the Ilwaco line.
The heavy winds and high tides which
have prevailed Off the coast, working
together, swept this long stretch Of
track into the sea, and it win probab-
IL take weeks before the storms ha-
voc can be repaired. Rails, ties and
all were carried away completely.
Traffic on this line, while not heavy
at this time Of the year, will be wholly
paralyzed until temporary tracks can
Be laid. The actual loss to property
here will run into the thousands. The
big dock at Meglers, also new, was
badly damaged BY the storm, the tide
having beaten down and carried away
long stretches of piling which support
the building, the boat landing and its
For considerable distance
west Of Meglers the tracks have been
washed away. 1t is further reported
that there are a number Of smaller
on the liwaco line, which
viii necessitate practically rebuilding
Of the portions weakened Of carried

Antl-Iapanese Legislation Caus-
ed Apprehension In
Washington
ROOSEVELT GIVES VIEWS
President in Response to Gillett
States That Nothing Has Absorbed
His Attention as Has the Innigra-
tion Question.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. : While
such assurances as have come from
representatives from Pacific Coast
men regarding the improbability Of
any legislation in California adverse
10 the Japanese have undoubtedly
done much to relieve apprehension
thar exists in administration circles, il
is a fact that the deepest concern
exists as to the future, Nothing that
has happened recently in congress or
elsewhere has so absorbed the atten-
ton Of the president and Secretary
Root as threatened the anti Japanese
legislation in California,
Ii is impossible for the president in
his response TO Governor Gilletti to
tell Of the influences that guide him in
making his unprecedented protest
against such action by California's
legislature. They are factors which
for diplomatic reasons could not be
in a letter which was sure
to be published but which are known
to members of the Senate and house
committees on foreign affairs and
which doubtless influenced conerva-
tive Pacific Coast men in Congress in
deprecating such action as was pro-
posed.
