20 years, established another marx

through train service between Port
land and San Francisco over the
new Cascade line recently completed
between Eugene and klamath Falls.
The Southern Pacific company had
plans under way for inaugurating
through passenger service over this
line later in the spring but the
emergency caused by tho blocking
of the present main line induced the
company to route through passenger
trains over the Cascade line today
for the first time.
The Willamette dropped five feet
today at Eugene but nevertheless,
lowlands in that vicinity were still.
under water, and many families were
removed by boats from houses and
hills where they had been marooned.
No loss of life was reported.
At Salem the Willamette had
passed the 22-foot mark this after
noon and was expected to reach 2.

Spaulding lumber mill and covered
the conveyors of the Oregan pull

The Willamette continued to rise

ham, Charlotte Walker, Henry e.
DiXey and Wilton Lackaye, as weli
as the star of his own company in
such notable hits as Classmates
THE Typhoon," Satan Henderson,

.ESS Pee VETOES
ANY CHANGES in
TRAIN SCHEDULE

officials of the Southern Pacific
railway who met with the Douglas
and Bisbee chamber of commerce
Joint committee on trading trains
on Tuesday morning at the Douglas
chamber offices refused the pro-
posal of the joint committee that two
extra trains be put into service ovel
mis- route. The proposition was
that these trains, one to run east
and one west were to be taken from
tbe north route in order that Doug
las and Bisbee might be supplied
with a morning train service
The argument in favor OF this
was that these two cities are the
largest on this division of the rail-
road and are therefore entitled I"
some consideration. 1t was further
brought out that an early morning
train especially from the west woulo
bring to these cities perishable fruits
and vegetables so that they could
be placed on sale when the stores
open each day and further that with
such a service business men ana
, others who must make frequent trips
to Phoenix and other points wesG
would go 20 bed on the train at the
western end of their journey ana
get off here in time to go to work
on their regular schedules
John 3. Crowell, chairman of the
Douglas committee, told the Dispatch
that he considered that the railroad.
officials had planned their schedule
in advance of the meeting without
consideration for the towns effected.
He said further that there was great
indignation both in this city anc
Eisbee over the fact that there 10
no early morning train service.
Those attending the meeting were,
! George Jay, president of the Bisbes
| chamber Of commerce; Folsom Moore,
manager of the Blsbee Review

Bisbee chamber; James Wolf of Bls\
bee; Mayor A. e. Hinton of Doug

mittee; Tom Glenn, Douglas COM
