Rains Trigger Major Landslides on Oregon Trunk Near Camp 4
Heavy rains cause slides along the Oregon Trunk near camp 4 five miles down Willow Creek canyon. An estimated 20 000 cubic yards of earth and rock fill the grade, blocking the line and delaying repairs for weeks. Authorities warn more rock and earth may descend with damp weather, and blasting concessions may have contributed to the danger.

A southbound freight on the Columbia Southern derailed at Bridge 34 near DeMoss Springs last Friday, delaying interior mail for several hours. Madras mail arrived only early this week as road conditions between here and Shaniko severely hinder travel and freighting remains nearly impossible.
