Portland will probably have to go
without bananas for Christmas as a re-
suit of the recent flood waters in the
Willamette valley. Freight traffic has
been delayed about two days. The ban
ana train, which was scheduled to reach
Portland will not arrive there until
about Sunday. The fruit will be in the
"dead green" stage which means that
from three to four days must elapse be-
fore it is ripened for consumption. Sa-
lem will not be affected by the short
age, as WHOLESALERS here received car
of bananas several days since and the
fruit is just now becoming ripe and
mellow. The delay of the fruit train
will also mean shortage of Christmas
oranges which will affect both Port
land and Salem to greater or lesser
extent.

through Salem last night for the south.
The first section passed through about

in the city were thick and fast all day
Thursday. The first reports were that
there were two carloads of them on
Train No. II, the early morning eX-
press and the rumors placed them as
being negroes or gunmen from New
York and Philadelphia, depending on
whom was talked with. AS a result
there was quite a crowd about the sta
ton when the train pulled in but the
first section showed no trace of rough
necks and the same applied to the Sec
ond. The report then promptly moved
the matter along to train NO. 1T.
which comes in from the west about
an hour later. and many people stayed
around for that train, but again there
was nothing to mar the good name of
the city. This ended the excitement
for the early morning but before noon
the arrival of the strikebreakers was
positively placed as on train No. ~,
due to arrive here at 1.35 and there
was a bunch on hand to meet it. None
appeared and the rumor promptly
moved along to train No. II. due at
$40, then it had them on second
section of that train and still they did
not appear. The last and positive one
was that they had been set off that
train and were waiting down the line
to be sneaked in when no one was
looking. In the meantime, shortly aft

and diligence the plaintiff was caught
between the couplings Of two freight
cars. and his body was jammed and
injured, caused him to suffer great
pain and expend large sums of money
for surgical and medical aid and for
nursing; and plaintiG claims it was
the duty Of the defendants to keep in a
proper state Of repair said couplings
and their necessary attachments. and
that the defendants failed in such du-
ty, and carelessly and nealigently per-
mitted the operating rod alta ch-
ed 70 the coupling Of said cars to be-
