6 sTHE MORNrN'G OREGONIAN WEDXESDAY yOVEMBER 24, .1909. . FOUR TRAINS LOST BECAUSE OF FLOOD Passengers on Great Northern Line Are Marooned in Cascade Passes. MUST RETURN TO SPOKANE Damage on East Side of Mountains Will Be Repaired and Trains Hanled to Points of Safety. No News for 12 Hours. SEATTLE Nov. 23- As a remit of the recent rains and warm Chinook winds which have melted the early snows In he mountains. causing high water In all the streams, traffic on the Great Northern Railway through the Cascades has been tied ud. and four paesenger trains. In cluding; the westbound Oriental Limited and the Fast Mail, are marooned. Four trains which have not been heard from within the last 12 hours are tied un between the east portal of the Cascade tunnel and Tonga, a (mall mountain sta tion ft) miles east of Seattle. The wash outs and landslides have cut off the trains both from Seattle and Spokane. As the damage between the Cascade tunnel and Spokane Is not as great as that on the west slope of the mountains. It Is proposed to rush temporary repairs on the east side of the mountains and back the trains Into Spokane, uney wm be brought from there to Seattle over the line of. the Northern Pacific, which thus far hae not experienced any serious de lays. FLOOD MAY REACH DOCKS '(Continued From Flrt Pag.) V. ing at McMtnnville. The fall In the l Upper 'Willamette and the Santiam is J not regarded a Indicating a drop at ' Portland. Heavy rains continue through ly out the valley, and a !0-foot stage Is pre- dieted for the Willamette at Portland by - Friday. Rain with fresh southerly winds Is predicted for today. The conditions over - the entire Northwest remain unchanged. J A storm center Is hovering off the coast of Vancouver Island, but has not moved inland as yet. The temperature remains high and the barometer is low. While the rainfall during the 24 hours ending at S o'clock yesterday afternoon ;"was only .27 of an inch, it came in two ' drenching ahowers in the early morning. , Last evening there was a heavy down- pour, but the amount will figure in the precipitation of today. To date the ex ' cess of rainfall is 3.07 inches. Little drift was In evidence In the Wil 1 lamette yesterday. The current was run : ning at the rate of eight miles an hour. ' Logs from the runaway rafts have Jammed the channel at the Madison-street : ' bridge to such an extent that all navlga- tion has been suspended. River steamers can pass but deep draft vessels art effectually shut out. Tug boats have thus - far been unable to dislodge the saw log. At the Portland Mills the steam " schooner Hornet is loaded and ready to , .. sail. The Norwegian steamship Christian ' Michelien is at the Inm&n. Poulsen Lura ' ber Company, held prisoner on account of the freshet and log jam. Not loaded ' but anxious to get out of danger, the -British steamship Cape Flnesterre Is at the Portland Lumber Company. Below the steam schooner Olympic Is being held, awaiting an opportunity to load at " the Portland Mills. A committee of pilots Investigated the conditions at the Madison-street bridge '- yesterday, and it was the unanimous ' J- opinion that It would be useless to at tempt to take a vessel through under - - flood conditions. The sunken piling of ' the old draw rcstthe stump of the east pier without any mark and the broken dolphins, now submerged to a depth of 10 feet, all combine to make navigation ' ; exceedingly hazardous. .. "Present conditions would have been avoided had the people. In charge of the bridge work heeded a warning." said . Captain Ed Sullivan yesterday. "In my "."presence Captain A. L.. Pease notified . .". Harbormaster 5peler, the United States Engineers and the Port of Portland of . what would result should a freshet start In the Willamette with the bridge in Its present shape. Nothing was done and . now the pilots are being blamed because . .' it is unsafe to move a ship." River readings yesterday follow: State Stars S'ane 2nd ;d 5 P. M. R P. M. 8 A. M. rising.

Oregon City Is 63 Feet -. Above Low Water Mark. . OREGON CJTT.. Or., Nov. 25 (Spe cial.) The pulp mills, of the paper com - panles on the west side of tlie river hut down tonight as he water has .reached the grinders and is still rising. The paper machines will no - doubt be closed tomorrow, when the mills will be Idle until the water recedes. The upper river tonight stands at 63 feet, and will be close to 65 feet before morning, and there Is every Indication . that by Thursday morning it will reach S feet. The lower river Is surging be tween and 32Vj feet tonight. The Clackamas River has been falling and is nearly at a standstill tonight, but no serious damage is anticipated from the lower river. The Chinese, gardens and the flats north of the city are Inundated, but It is not probable that the' river, will rise so as to menace the business portion of the city. Late last night the locks were closed to navigation and it is expected will not reopen until the latter part of the week. The river is about 13 feet above the highest mark laet year. The old dock of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany Is submerged and the mills of the Hawley Pulp & Paper. Company on the east side of the river have been forced to discontinue operations. The bridge across the Molalla River, at Liberal was In danger last night, but the river fell about three feet today. J STORM CLEARS AT HOOD RIVER J JIayor McDonald and Crew Save Bridge From Destruction. HOOD RrVER. Or.. Nov. 23. (Spe- cial.) Today the storm cleared and rail- road and telegraph communication has ? been resumed. Long distance telephone lines were not placed In working condl- tion until a late hour this afternoon. The Hood River has been a thundering torrent for several days. Wagon bridges in the upper valley were threatened with destruction. The oie over the east fork about Mount Hood postoffice was torn from Its anchorage and rendered Im passable. By hard work several of the other bridges in the valley were saved. Th. m-or- thn TTnod River in' the city was kept from being destroyed by a gang of men under the direction or Mayor McDonald and members of the itv itnl.n -a-hr filled sacks with sand and turned the rusnlng flood from the piers. Below the dam of the electric light company a heavy section of cribbing, 100 feet long, used to protect the tracks of the Mount Hood railroad, was lifted bod ily from its moorings yesterday after noon and dashed to' pieces on a rocky point several hundred yards below. Striking the railroad embankment with" terrific force, the immense volume of water tore out 400 feet of the roadbed as clean as if removed with a steam shovel. Until it can be replaced, which is expected to take several weeks, pas sengers will be transferred around the damaged track. County roads and frrlgatlng ditches were also damaged considerably. WHEAT AND HOPS SPOILED High Water In Marlon County Does Damage to Warehouses. SaCeAI. Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) At 5 o'clock tonight the Willamette River had reached the 22-foot stage, and was stead ily rising. It is expected to be from 26 to 2S feet by morning "if the rain con tinues. ' Much damage has already been done and heavy loss can hardly be avoided un less there is a speedy change in the weather. For the first time in a great many years the Spaulding Logging Com pany's mill in this city was forced to shut down today on account of the high water. At dark the Oregon City Trans portation Company's dock was completely under water and the river was within a few Inches of the of flee "floor. The Salem Flouring Mill Company has had spoiled 800 bushels of wheat in a warehouse at Buena Vista. Twenty-five hundred feet of logs owned by the Occi dental Lumber Company above Independ ence are reported to have broken from their moorings and .to have been swept away. In addition, there are reports to the effect that thousands of pounds of hops along the river have been ruined or carried away by- the flood. Employes of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company have been at work today strengthening the poles and other property of the company near Jefferson, but the danger Is not past and it is feared the big cables carrying the Valley wires will no out during the night. The country near the mouth of the. Santiam is Inundated by the back water of the Willamette, and there are grave fears that much stock will be drowned and fences and other property carried out before morning. The Santiam fell slightly this morning, but is rising again tonight, and is 17 feet at Jefferson. Last night at Stayton the water backed up and shut off the electric .light plant, the town being left In total darkness. The plant Is running tonight, however. The big sawmill plant of the Curtis Lumber Company at Mill City. IS miles above Stayton, is shut down on account of the flood. The river is filled with floating logs and debris, but no serious damage has yet been reported along; the headwaters of the Santiam. COWLITZ NEAR DANGER STAGE Sbeer Boom Carried Down to Mouth - of River. KE2LSO, Wash., Nov. 23. (Special.) The Cowlitz River Is at danger stage tonight, being two feet higher than in the rise a few days ago. The Metcalf shingle sheer boom, above Kelso, was loosened by the strong current tonight and carried down to the big boom at the mouth of the river. Reports from Silver Creek are that the rain has fallen heavily today ' and the river is a torrent. - Most of the mills here have had to close operations temporarily as a result of the high water. The continual overflow north of Kelso has caused the current to cut a channel through the softened bottom lands. If the river rises two feet more a great deal of timber and j-ubbtsh is expected to be brought down. FARMHOUSES ARE THREATENED Flood Damage at Bellingham Has Already Reached $15,000. BELLINGHAM. Wash..' Nov. 23. The Nook sack River, after a temporary fall this afternoon. Is again rising. More rain Is falling' In the foothills, and no relief Is In sight for the ranchers whose property Is being damaged and whose houses and farm buildings are being threatened by the flood. The B. B. & B. C. and Northern Pacific roads are already tied up by washouts and bridges swept away, and the Great Northern bridge at Ferndale Is about to go out. so that train service to the city from the north will probably be entirely discontinued tomorrow. The damage, as nearly as can be esti mated, now amounts to $16,000 or more, and there is every prospect of its being doubled tomorrow unless the river falls. BARKENTINE GOES ASHORE Wind Drives Vessel Into Shallow Water While Leaving Sound. PORT TOWN SEND. Wash.,-Nov. 23. The American barkentine Mary Wlnkel man. captain John - Plltz. was blown ashore on Point Hudson while attempt ing to sail from here for sea today. The vessel is loaded with 550.000 feet of lum ber and is rapidly listing to port with the ebh tide. She was bound for Tonga tohu. Friendly Islands. . Shipping mer are hopeful of being able to float the stranded vessel at high tide tomorrow noort. Should ' storms Inter vene, however, a total loss will result. In an effort to aid his crew In keep ing the vessel from the shore. Captain Piltz was caught In the anchor tackle, sustaining a crushed right hand and badly injured leg. YAKIMA RIVER ON RAMPAGE False Work of .Mosee Bridge Is Car fled Out, Causing $800 Loss, NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Nov.' 23. (Special.) The Taklma River has reached the flood stage and Is rising seven inches an hour. The false work of the Moxee bridge, under construction Just east of the city. has gone out. causing a loss to contractor. C. E. Lum of from tSOO to $1000. Other bridges are threatened. The Cascade Lumber Company Is having much difficulty to hold its logs. The low lands are Inundated and there has been considerable damage to hay land. GALE MAY LAST DAY LONGER Rages Off Shore, Delays Shipping, but Does No Damage. ASTORIA. Or:. Nov. 23. (Special. ) There was no Improvement of weather conditions In this section today. The southwest gale continues and Ms expected to last at least 24 hours longer, as it la still raging off shore. Aside from the delays to shipping, no damage has resulted. umncuniiccninrtiH n IIM L UUULULUII I IN TRAIN'S PATH Wind Storm Mows Swath Half Mile Wide Across Uma tilla County. TOWN OF ADAMS DAMAGED Approaching Passenger Train Slows Down for Crossing Just In Time. Railroad Traffic Will Be In terrupted 24 Honrs. PENDLETON, Nov. 23. (Special.) Demolishing property and endangering: human life, a windstorm of unusual severity for Oregon swept a path half a mile in width across Umatilla County during the noon hour today. The only town In its path was Adams, and it was there that the greatest destruc tion was wrought. Awnings were torn from their fastenings, telephone poles leveled and window lights blown in. The. end of the Kerr-Glfford Com pany's warehouse was torn out and the big warehouse of the Balfour-Guthrie Company was lifted from its founda tion and hurled across the railroad track, a complete wreck. In front of an approaching passenger train. E. E. McCullum was pinned beneath the debris. He sustained serious injuries. His presence of mind in throwing him self under the high platform when he saw the building coming alone saved his life. The warehouse was 300 feet long and 50 feet wide. The Spokane passenger train was Just slowing down for the stop. As 24 hours will be required to clear the track, the train was turned back to this city and sent around by way of. Umatilla. The Incoming train was turned west at Walla Walla and ar rived late tonight by way of Umatilla. Many other buildings and windmills were damaged. Teams tied in the streets became frightened and ran away. The path of the storm was from west to east and about a mile north of Pendleton, from where the black cloud was plainly visible. Except that the funnel shape of the' cloud was absent, the storm bore the earmarks of a cyclone. . . Some rain accompanied the wind, but not enough to damage the wheat which was left exposed by the destruction of one warehouse and the damage to the other. The loss sustained In the town of Adams alone will amount to many thousand dollars. RAILROADS REPAIR BRIDGES Oregon Lines Expect Soon to Oper ate on Schedule Time. , The flood situation throughout Oregon is reported to be improving, and rail road officials on all lines believe traffic will soon be resumed on schedule, oev eral more or less serious washouts have occurred, but these are being rapidly repaired. Large repair crews succeeded in getting the mam lines or tne douiu ern Pacific open yesterday afternoon. The most eerious mishap on the South ern Pacific main line occurred yesterday morning at Gold Hill, where both ap proaches of the trestle were washed out. An embankment a few miles north of Gold Hill also went out. Forces of men were rushed to the 6pot and after several hours of hard work the line was opened at 1 P. M. yesterday. The Southern Pa cific trains are now coming In. all rather late on account of the caution which is necessary on account of the soft tracks, but nevertheless, practically according to schedule. The Shasta Limited, due at :30, was delayed about four hours on account of the washout and slow travel. The O. R. & N. trains are now coming through, although running cautiously on account of the soft track. The main train was brought through with but an hour and 40 minutes loss between. Hun tington and Portland, and as a rule the trains have been three and four hours late. Number 7. Chicago-Portland . Ex press, was marked up to arrive In Port land last nlgnt at 1 o'clock. This train was due at 8 P. M., but was reported four hours late when It was turned over to the Oregon division at Huntington. ' The Spokane. Portland ' & Seattle has been getting trains through almost on schedule. There has been eome trouble all along .the line, but a heavy guard of track patrols has been kept up to In sure safety. ; No. serious damage was re ported anywhere on the line. The Northern Pacific lines are reported to be in good condition and have not been subjected to the same heavy floods as the other lines In Oregon. LOGGERS LOSE $200,000 LOGS Grays Harbor Suffers Heavily From ' Wind and Rain. ' ABERDEEN. Wash, Nov. 23. (Special.) Loss to loggers resulting from the re cent storms is estimated today at. 10.000 logs, worth $200,000. For days logs have been drifting past booms and storage grounds out to sea. Many will be saved in the lower bay, where they washed against banks. Men have been making good wages catching drifting logs. They are paid ?1 each by the owners for every log returned. The greatest loss ensued on the Chehalis River. The Humptulips boom is holding fast. This is one of the big booms of the Harbor. High winds for the past ten days or two weeks have broken down many trees in the forests. Men coming In from the logging .camps say the destruction is extensive.. Many farmers will lose heav ily, a number having gone into logging at their ranches and mortgaging their ranches to pay for logging operations, expecting to realize when their product was marketed. In some Instances the logs themselves had been mortgaged. Rain and high winds continue today, with no Immediate prospect of abatement. EAST SIDE LINE IS ' BLOCKED Bridge at Brownsville Is Carried Out by High Water. ALBANY. Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) The Willamette has risen three feet here to day and now stands at 19.4 feet above low water. It Is rising steadily, three Inches an hour. The Oregon City Trans portation Company's d6ck is under water and the entire water front Is Inundated. Low lands throughout this part of the state are flooded. A heavy rain is falling tonight, and this will keep the Satrtiam and other mountain streams, which have fallen slightly today, at flood height. Traffic on both ends of the Woodburn Natron branch of the Southern Pacific is tied up today by damage wrought by floods In Linn County. The underpin ning of a 30-foot bridge half a' mile south of Brownsville went out last night, leav ing tbe northbound Albany-Springfield train stranded' south of the washout. - The mm "It's better to be roasted than forgotten." Tomorrow the "bone of con tention" will be the wish bone, but wishes accomplish nothing without action. If you act on onr suggestion this week it may be a big factor in bringing tha wish to a reality. Here is a suit for you at 20 that will strengthen your credit, increase your face value and be a step ping stone on the road to success. LION CLOTHIERS 166-170 Third St. v railroad bridge over the Calapooia River at Brownsville Is also weakened so that It is dangerous for trains to cross. Traffic on the eastern end of the Cor vallis & Eastern line was maintained to day by running one train from Albany to Mill City and transferring passengers there over the wagon bridge to the train which was marooned at Mill City yes terday when the bridge there went out. This train ran to a point east of Niagara and back to Mill City today. Trains on the western half of the Corvallis & East ern were operated again today without difficulty. The Linn County approach, SO feet long, to the big wagon bridge across the San tiam River at Jefferson went down last night and was swept away in the raging current. This is the same bridge where the big cement pier toppled over Friday night in the first rise in the Santiam. The loss of this approach does not rep resent more than 400 in cash, but it will delay traffic materially. Many telephone and telegraph wires throughout Linn County are down today because poles along creeks and rivers were washed out and fell. On the Wood-burn-Natron branch telegraph wires were down and rural telephone lines experi enced a great deal of trouble. FALLING .TIMBER ENDANGERS Large Stretches of New Grade to Grays Harbor Is Washed Out. ELMA. Wash., Nov. 23.-(Special.) Wind has wrought havoc with telegraph and telephone wires. Much timber has been falling in the woods, and work in all the camps has ceased until the storm Is over. The Chehalis is now a raging torrent, and all stock has been takjn from the bottoms to higher ground. Elma is crowded with men from the camps and mills who have come in on account of the closing down of all work.. The most serious Injury that the storm has done Is to the grade and bridges of the new line of the Union Pacific Rail way Company on the south side of the river. Large stretches Of the grade has been washed away and several bridges have been swept from their foundations. This will delay the opening of the new road for several months. KLICKITAT VALLEY DRENCHED Rainfall Exceeds Four Inches, All Streams Raging. GOLDENDALE, Wash.. Nov. 23. (Special.) The rainfall In the Klicki tat Valley for the past two days has been the heaviest known in years. The total precipitation since the rain began lash Sunday night, lasting until 7 o'clock this morning, amounts -to over four Inches. The Klickitat River at Goldendale Is overflowing its banks, - the Golden Meadow and adjacent tracts being cov ered with several feet of water. All streams- and creeks in the Simcoe watershed are raging torrents. The heavy rainfall ceased this morning and the. creeks subsided somewhat today. Beyond the washing out of small bridges, no serious damage has been reported. HAVOC WROUGHT. ON SOUND Melting Snows and Heavy Rain FlrJbd All Streams; TACOMA, Nov. 23. With a rainfall for November of nearly 11 inches and predictions for more rain tomorrow, the warm weather of the past few days, which is melting snows In the Cascades, Is playing havoc with the rivers empty ing Into Puget Sound, and from many sections reports of floods, washouts, county roads damaged and bridges car ried away are brought in. Steam and electric roads have all suf fered more or less. Although there will be considerable damage, the situation is not so serious as Wi November, 1906. Railroad officials believe the crest of the flood was reached today. Raymond Hit Hard by Storm. RAYMOND. Wash., Nov. 23. (Special.) The worst storm of the season thus far raged here Sunday night and all of Monday. The wind attained an estlmat- LEFT OH HER DOORSTEP FOB THIS MOTHER Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Iivermore, Cal., writes: "I picked up from my door step one day a little boos: in which I Eoon became very much interested. My little girl of five years of age bad been troubled for a long time with. Joss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run down and in a very delicate condition. "This little book was very compre hensively written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal ele ments of the cod's liver from the oil, eliminating the obnoxious oil which ia so hard for children to take. ' - "Must the thing," said I, 'for my little daughter,' and I immediately went for a bottle of Vinol. It helped her won derfully. She has gained rapidly In flesh and strength, and she does not take cold half so easily. - i "I am extremely grateful for tbe good It has done her, and I hope other mothers who have weak, delicate or ailing children will be benefited by my experience and just give Vinol a trial."
