RAILROADS HELPLESS;
HUNDREDS DS1MARO0NED
Southern Pacific Lines West of Ogden
Observation-Disclosures and
Mail Held at Utah
Points

OGDEN. Utah, March 2.-With hun
dreds of passengers marooned mere
and westbound trains bringing other
hundreds of travellers, including many
colonists from eastern points, the
southern Pacific railroad is more help
less tonight than at any time In It's
history.
Not a train has left for the west
for twenty-four hours and floods in
the Humboldt valley, where the river
has changed its course, are so over
whelmlng, according to advices re-
ceived at local headquarters today,
that it will require a week, and possi-
bly ten days, before traffic can be par
TALLY restored.
If satisfactory reports are received
from Nampa, Idaho, and the Shasta
route, an effort will be made to detour
passengers over the Oregon Short
Line via Portland. The latter road
is unable ocare for its own traffic
and officials admit this route may not
be practicable for two or three days.
Southern Pacific train No. g. carry
ing tons of mail, which left Tuesday
for the west, will be returned from
Nevada.
Company Maintains Hotel
other passenger trains which have
been sent out from here will be re-
turned to Ogden, where the Southern
Pacific maintains a hotel, at which
passengers are being accommodated.

RAILROAD BUSINESS IN
PORTLAND AT STANDSTlLL

PORTLAND, Ore, March 2.-Railroad
traffic out of Portland is at its lowest
ebb in probably twenty years, and es-
pecially to the north and east. Busl-
ness to California points is not seri-
ously interfered with.
The situation is so serious between
here and Puget Sound points that not
a Northern Pacific train has arrived In
Portland since yesterday For two
days the Southern Pacific has not at
tempted to run the northbound Shasta
limited beyond Portland.
Meager advices indicate that the
trains from the Sound may be de-
toured around the danger points and
arrive in Portland tonight or to-
morrow.

DIVERT cOLONlST TRAVEL TO
COAST OVER SOUTHERN LINE

DENVER, Colo, March 2.-One of the
heaviest snowstorms of the season has
ragged today along the south park di-
vision OF the Colorado and Southern
railway. There has been more or less
snow for ten days in the mountain
region, although the weather had been
pleasant in Denver.
A snowstorm also prevailed along
the Moffat road today.
On account of the tie-up prevailing
on the Southern Pacific railroad, most
of the big colonist travel to the coast
from the east is now being diverted
southwest to the only transconti-
mental line now in operation to the
coast.

Are Observation-Disclosures
Filed in Superior Court
Today.

Ed Egan, charged with the theft of
a pearl valued at $3.50 from the per
son of Timothy Boyle, button cutter
living near Nontrose, is being hunted
by police officers and whether he has
left the city to elude capture is as
much a mystery as his whereabouts.
The pearl was stolen Monday after
noon. but the information was not
fled in the superior court until this
morning and thus the officers are
handicapped in their search for the
much-wanted man.
Boyle is reported to have found the
large pearl, which is said to be easily
of the value of $50, while working
sometime ago as clam digger in
the Mississippi near Montrose. In
the saloon of John NJ. Egan, 1929 Ful

the pocket containing the box IN
which the pearl was. extracting both
the box and the pearl. While Egan
was attempting to return the box
minus the pearl to Boyle's pocket. the
latter felt a fumbling in his pocket
and discovered the hand of Egan. a
war of words Immediately followed
and BOYLE discovered the pearl miss
ing. He charged Egan with the theft
which the latter did not deny. bui
stolidly refused to give it up. Boyle
did not report the matter to the pc
lice Immediately. but later cent In ;
report to HEADQUARTERS. Howevel
he did not file an information and thu
police had no authority until thi
action was taken today. In the mean
