WORST IS REPORTED OVER Southern Pad He Perhaps Heaviest looser From Washouts of Bridges and Tracks All Traffic la Dp layed. Floods In the upper Willamette Valley re reeedlnar and the rise at Oreson City was expected to come to a standstill last night. Rain however, was falling at Al- bany last nlght and the flood conditions there are perhaps worse than at any other point. That city la practically Iso lated by the, flood waters. - ' At Euens the river rose to a height of 20 feet, but the cold weather has started the waters to receding. The rainfall In all parts of the valley lias been unusually heavy, at rrain near ly five Inches falling In 24 hours. Bridges on the new Coos Bay extension of the Southern Pacific have been carried away, and the acorvallis & Eastern road has suffered severely. All train service is interrupted. "WORST IS OVER AT EUGENE Although SO Feet Above Low Water, River Began Receding Last Night. EUGENE. Or.. Jan. 4. Special.) By daylijrrit thtfl mornliiff the waters of the Avtiiamette were out of the banks, cov- ering the country between the Red Bridge and Bushnell's and raging on through the n"at country below town. . The SprlnR-field bridge has been impas sable all day on account of the high water on this side. Teams have not been a hie to cross and the stages have- been out of commission. People who have come from Springfield today have walked all the way. having crossed the river cn the railroad bridge. Last night there was a light snowfall on the nearby hills and mountains and the attending cold checked the rise of water so that no very serious injury has bo far been reported from the flooded dis trict. The river has been at 20 feet above low water mark today, but is lower now. the water at dark being considerably lower than during the day. Unless It rains to- night the worst is likely ovr. The hasomnnta about town are general ly flooded, but conditions In the residence portion are better than at any time In the last 24 hours. rose: .s feet ijt is hours "Vi 1 lAmrlfc Still Coniinir t 'r. but Wlx- pected at Standstill Tonight.

The Willamette River Is rising- tonight a t the rate of .1 of a foot per hour, and the upper river has raleed nearly 0116 foot todfty. but tv.U probably be at a standstill by morning, aa the cold snap "will prevent further rise.- - While the waters have risen rapidly flown the valley, the extent of the terrl- tory covered makes the rise less notice able at Oregon City. Between 6 o'clock last night and 8 o'clock this morning the lowr river rose 6.J feet, approaching the unprecedented rise during- the flood in 1S90. when the rise .was 8.3 feet In 12 hours. The lower river rose one foot to day and is still rising: slowly. The Clackamas and other small side streams are falling. Havoc was created here yesterday by overflowing sewers, and many basements were flooded. Frank Busch's stock was damaged to the extent or 500. and It was only by the means of pumps that the basement was Kept from filling, '; i r 1. 1 Khi fl.:eze: before: fxood Residents of Drain Forced to Leave Their Homes In Afiddle of CTigrrit. DRAIN, Or., Jan. 4.-(Special. The ter- riflce storm that visited this section the past 36 hours has done much damage. Nearly flve Inches Tell In 24 hours. Pass and Elk Creeks were converted Into raging torrents, submerging the lower j portions of the town and causing the In- liabitants to flee from their homes at midnight. The Southern Pacific Company was the heaviest loser, -the new bridge across Elk treek . on the Dratn-Coos Bay road, having been carried away.. This loss will cause serious delay In construction work. The county bridge across Elk Creek was also swept away. Many of the bridges on the stage road between here and Scottsburg are reported gone while washouts on the railroad both north and south of here have stopped train service indefinitely.

On the western division of thn' cw. vallls & Eastern railroad a washout near Summit holds the train. All streams are running full, the "Wil lamette this evening registering 7 feet and rising steadily; It has risen approxi mately 11 feet since yesterday morning.

"yesterday witnessed the severest storm of the Winter for Southern Oregon. Re ports so far received Indicate that rain fell in torrents throughout the county and that much damage has been done to crops, fencing and In loss of stock caught by rapidly swelling streams. All railroad -traffic Is suspended. The train due to" arrive in Portland this morn ing was held at Ashland and left there this morning; at 7:40 and has Just arrived here, and may not get out until morn ing. A stub train was sent south from here tonight. The damage to track and bridges of Southern Pacific is considerable, but the local officials hope to have the way clear to get passenger trains established about on time by some time tomorrow. SNOW BURIES -ROTARY EN'GIXE Storm in Cascades One of the Worst in ilnny Years. TACOMA Wash. Jan. 4. (Special.) Snow lies from two to four feet deep in the t3reen River Canyon and along the summits of the Cascades. The storm, which ceased at 6 o'clock last niRht. was one or the heaviest of the Winter and one of the most severe of recent years. The Northern Pacific was able to keep Its tracks open yesterday only with -difficulty. Once an avalanche of snow buried a rotary engine at the eastern en trance of the Stampede tunnel. It took a crew of workmen several hours to dig that engine out. Another rotary was out of commission for a while, owing to a slight break In the machinery. Today every rotary is workinjaf and the tracks are cleared. Today's No. 3, due at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon, is reported seven hours late. 5co. 1, el&ht hours, and rCo. 5, eia-ht hours. These delays are due, however, to condi tions east of BllensburB, and not to any difficulties on the Pacific division. WORST IXOOD I If i e yejIlKs Water lllses Rapidly at Cottage Grove and Sweeps Out Iog Boom. COTTAGE GROVE. . Or.. Jan. 4 (Special.) The worst flood that Cot tage Grove and vicinity has experienced for 16 years was caused last night by a Chinook wind and heavy rain melting the deep snow in the mountains. The Coast Fork River began over flowing about 5 o'clock, and raised rap Idly until about midnight, when the temperature fell and it began snowing, the water falling: fast. The water raised several inches in a number of business houses and a few dwellings built on low grounds. The boom at Latham, a mile above here, broke in the night and about 100, pOO feet of sawlogs were lost. Six Feet of Snow In Montana. BUTTE, Mont., Jan. 4. A Miner special from Missoula states that from Coeur d'Alenes reports are to the effect that the snowfall in the mountains is unusually heavy and that the Northern- Pacific is experiencing much difficulty In keeping Its track In a passable condition between Wallace, Idaho, and this city. Two rotary snowplows have been kept at work constantly for several days, but in splrte of this, freight trains have been stalled repeatedly and on several occa sions no trains have been able . to get through at all. r The snow now lies more than six feet deep on the level on the higher altitudes and many of the mines have been com pelled to shut down. Tillamook Courthouse Damaged. TILLAMOOK. Or., Jan. 4. (Special.) The new courthouse presented a de plorable condition this morning, a'fter the rain and wind storm. . The water poured tnrough the roof and almost flooded the courtroom, and then re to the orTlces below, groin a; through the floor and down the walls, so much so that It was difficult tO find a dry epot In some parts of the bulld- Heavy gnow at VancouTer, VANCOUVER. B. C, Jan. 4. British calumbla Is in the RrlD of severe snow storm. On Vancouver Island two feet is reported close to Victoria. There Is only . few inches around Vancouver, but to- vard New Westmlnater th snow la near ly a. foot deep. The Frazer River ia half full of floating ice, ana steamers cannot navigate it with safety. IVar No Danger at Pendleton. PENDLET0JJ Or.. Jan. 4. No dam aftre has been inflicted by the storm thus far, and none ta likely to result. The Umatilla River is still at normal height, and apparently not much affect ed. A thaw, however, with continuous rain, following' a warm wind, would cause a freshet, though no danger 13 anticipated from such. HlRhest Water Since 1890.

Wheeler. Oity Health Officer, which was read a the session of the Health Board yester- day morning, shows that during IW Portland' malntainned the reputation which it has Ions; held of being- one of the most healthful cities In the United States. During the entire year there was no serious epidemic, and deaths from eon taglous diseases were comparatively few, rr. Wheeler fixed 175.000 as the cltv's population in making his estimates, and on this basis the death rate in Portland during the year was 8.49. Judging- from the records in other years, Portland death rate is the lowest in the country, While the total number of deaths dur ing- the year was 14S7. births during the same period numbered 3068, or a birth rate oi 11. S per cent. Of the births 1079 were male and 9S9 female. The total number of births was probably somewhat higher, as JLecember returns are still coming in. and. in addition, there Is al ways a small number of births, which are not officially reported, although required by law. In his report. 1 r. Wheeler recommends that an emergency hospital be estab lished. After calling attention to the need of such an Institution, he suKgrest that en annex be built to the City Jail xor tms purpose. , DON'T JFORGET The greatest of all clearance gales is now going on at Le Palais Royal, Washington street.

RAILROAD TRACKS SOFT Condition of Roadbed Causes Xew Delay on Southern Pacific Wil lamette May Reach Seven teen Feet In Portland. fcOI'Tll EBN PACIFIC BUICKADE. Owing to the oft condition of the Southern Pacific tracks between Balem and Woodburn, where water has filled the lowlands and has washed dirt from under the ties in places, traffic was tied up between ' Salem and Woodburn late last night. Trains 13 and 15, leaving hre last night for California, were held at Woodburn- until daylight, when they will proceed south. Trains coming north were delayed at Salem. Freight trains have been canceled on the Southern Pacific - until the hlg-h water subsides. Storms which wept over Oregon and Washington this week have subsided, and weather reports show that danger of fur- her damage Is past. The Willamette River in expected to reach a helffht of 17 reet at Portland by Monday morning it was first predicted that the river would go to 18 feet.

There ls a larre area of low barometric pressure i at Eureka. If this storm comes inland. serious complications will likely arise. The falling temperature will have a tend- enuy to cuecK tne nooa. There Is comparatively little rise in the Columbia and this greatly Increases the current in the Willamette. Handling of snips in the river is difficult and dangerous. The steamers Orusader and Santa Ana, lying at the mills of Inman. 'Poulsen & Co., will In all probability be compelled to remain there until the cur- rent slackens, as moving them through tne Driages is extremely aangerouM. i ne draws of the Madison and Morrison bridges set at an angle with the current and a propeller steamer of heavy draft can not be straightened up for the draw. In an effort to move the steamer Almond Branch several years ago, during the Winter freshet, the pilot lost control of her in the current and she crashed Into the Morrison-street ' bridge and caused several thousand dollars worth of dam age. Last week the Apollo narrowly escaped bumping the (Madison bridge. Movements in the harbor are difficult and two towboats are required to dock a ship or move her to another berth. Tes- terdav the Glenalvon went to the stream and it required the united efforts of two tugs to put her to a safe anchorage.
