I (JIMS Uh MAM- BLUONAUtU Kailroajl Officials Will Put Xo Kstl inate on Damage, but Say It Is Immense White Sox Snccial Is Stalled. OGDEN, Utah, March 2. With hun dreds of pasengers marooned- here and west-bound ' trains bringing- other hun dreds of travelers. Including many col onists from Eastern points, the South ern Pacific Railroad Is more helpless tonight than at any time in Its history. Not a train has left for the West for 24 hours, and floods in the Hum boldt "Valley are so overwhelming that it will require a week and possibly 10 days before traffic can be partially re stored. An effort probably will be made to detour pasengers over the Ore gon Short Line via Portland, Ore. The latter road Is at present unable to care for Its own traffic and officials admit that this route may not be practicable for two or three days. Southern Pacific train No. 9. carrying tons of mall, which left Tuesday for the West, will be brought bacJc from Nevada. Other passenger trains which Have been sent out from here will toe returned to Ogden. Local officials will not attempt to estimate the damage, but they declare that the total will exceed the highest figures of any similar disaster In, the history of their roads, with the excep tion of the recent floods on the Salt Lake, Los Angeles & San Pedro. The special train carrying the Chi cago White Sox baseball team will be held here a week. President C. A. Comiskey today engaged gymnasiums for indoor work and the local baseball park for outdoor training. The players began- work this afternoon. It is prac tically certain that a revision of the playing schedules for California cities will be necessary. TKAIXS ROUTED VIA PORTLAXD Calvin Directs Work, of Clearing Tracks in Xevada. SAN FRANCISCO, March 2. Informa tion received by the local offices of the Southern Pacific late today indicate that the tie-up of overland trains in Nevada will not be as protracted as earlier re ports presaged. Vice-President and Gen eral Manager Calvin, of the Southern Pa cific, on his way home from New York, was on one of the trains tied up at the Elko, Nev., slide and has assumed per sonal direction of the forces which are clearing the way. The Overland Limited and the regular overland passenger train on the Southern Pacific's direct Kastern route were de toured tonight by way of Portland and over the Oregon Short Line through Og den to Chicago. It was stated at divi sion headquarters here that it will be five days before the road is clear over the central route. The last two trains that can arrive over the Southern Pacific overland route until repairs are made, came In .this aft ernoon, 24 hours late with Eastern mails and passengers. These trains barely es caped the worst washouts and were able to work slowly through. The Southern Pacific officials here confess they do not know how many passenger trains are tied up between Reno and Ogden. Tele graph communication by this route was lost today and wires Fast are now routed via Los Angeles and the Santa Fs. There were eight passenger trains stalled at Winnemucca. Nev., yesterday, half a dozen at Imlay and as many more at Golconda. These are small stations on the desert and the passengers are amus ing themselves with impromptu dances and other pastimes. , DAMAGE XEAIi BOISE GREAT Two Lives Lost and Trains Blocked in. Southern Idaho. BOISE, Idaho, March 2. (Special.) Southern Idaho today Is still suffering the effects of worse floods than this section of the state has experienced In many years, and the damage-done to railroads, bridges, cities and towns, from Glenn'i Ferry west as far as Weiser, cannot be estimated although it will run into the thousands of dol lars. The loss to property does not entirely cover the record made by the floods, for the casualty list is growing. Two men have been drowned on a foot bridge near Glenn's' Ferry and fear is entertained that more accidents of this kind will follow. The havoc Is almost unprecedented and means the continued blockading of the entire Short Line Railway system While reports from all parts of South ern Idaho indicate that there is grave danger, of even worse to follow, the South has not as yet been forced to stand aghast at such catastrophes as have taken place in Northern Idaho and in the state of Washington, where snow-slides and avalanches brought on by the recent thaws have cost many lives. The first two deaths reported up to date as due to the floods and the rapid rise in the waters of the Snake River were recorded at Glenn's Ferry yes terday, when two laborers named Swen son and Coffey, attempted to save a foot-bridge across the stream. TRAINS OX' SHORT L1XE MOVE Through Trafifc, However, Cannot , Yet Be Resumed. BOISE. Idaho, March 2. Superintendent Stephenson, of the Idaho division of the Oregon Short Line, telegraphed Mountain Home tonight that eastbound trains had begun to arrive at Nampa about 10 P. M. and westbound trains about 10:30. A special to the Statesman from Glenns Ferry, where 300 westbound passengers are held, says there is no indication there , that traffic will be resumed within 24 hours. It 19 said work at the worst points along the line had not progressed far enough to admit the passage of trains tonight. At one point a four-foot cul vert must be replaced by a 50-foot span. NEVADA FLOODS ARE MENACING Central and Eastern Deluge Worst in History of State. RBXO, Nev., March 2. Central and Eastern Nevada is experiencing the worst flood In the h'story of the state, and reports reaching this city from Carlin, Battle Mountain and Elko are to the ef fect thai-'lt and Reese rivers have gone beyond all bounds, washing away railroad and county bridges and in undating the valleys and lowlands from Deeth to Winnemucca. The Humboldt River has reached the highest point in its hletory, and the crest of the flood has not yet been reached. The river is one mile wide in some places. Five railroad bridges at Beowawe and Battle Mountain have been condemned. The steel railroad bridge at Palisades is in danger. Western Pacific men at Carlin have dynamited the ice in an effort to save the bridge. Rivers north of Elko have broken and 10 feet of water is rushing down the canyon near that place. All ranches on the Humboldt River are flooded and cattle are being driven to high ground. 1 Temporary Track to Be Laid. LOS ANGELES, March 2. It was, an nounced at the offices of the San Pedro, that the line would be reopened to trans- continental traffic by June 1 by means of a temporary track through Meadow VaDey, in Nevada, where 90 miles of road bed was washed out two months ago. A permanent roadbed will be built later over the same route. - Floods Kali to Impede XT. I. OMAHA, Neb., March 2. L"nion Pacific officials here declared today that traffic on their lines had not been impeded by the floods. DEATH'S TOL MAY BE 88 (Continued From Paffe One.) brakcman; Walter Smith, porter: r. Tet merer, engineer: M. p. Whtte. conductor. The train employes all lived in Everett. Mrs. M. A. Covington, who 1 among the missing paeeengers, was on her way to Seattle to celebrate her golden wed ding tomorrow. She was the mother of Rev. L. J. Covington, superintendent of the Washington Children' Home, Se attle. Charles S. FJtinge, a missing passenger is treasurer of the Pacific Coast Pipe Company, and his family lives In Spokane. Mrs. S. Tardett, of Chlmainus, B. C, was returning from Spokane, where her husband, was killed in a railroad accident last month. Mrs. Starrett and one child are saved. Her other two children were killed. Survivors Are" Hysterical. A comprehensive story of the extent of the disaster and the circumstances attending it has' not yet -been obtained. Several men have arrived at Scenic Hot Springs from Wellington, but they were hysterical from the horror of the avalanohe and the perils of their de scent of the mountain, and were unable to describe the scene at the summit and the work of recovering the bodies of the dead-. While some of the missing may be found alive, the Tate of the majority, railroad men believe, is death. Many of the missing are. laborers who were at work trying to clear the. track. All the Injured are being- cared for at Well ington, owing to the difficulty in get ting them 12 miles down the slide swept slope to a point where trains can reach them. The rescue party that left here -on last night's special did not reach Well ington until noon today. Passenger Coaches Burled. While there is no official informa tion on the point. It is understood at the local offices that train No. 25 was not kept in the tunnel because of the pleas of passengers, who feared being blockaded there with the resulting risk of suffocation. The passenger coaches are still completely buried. The day coach and smoker have entirely dis appeared, being literally smashed to bits. One woman was rescued from the Pullman after 12 hours' Imprisonment. Brakeman Duncan and Conductors Pur- cell and Clary, who were in a car that was reduced to splinters, escaped with slight bruises and In bare feet did he roic work at rescuing. The physicians who accompanied the relief train report that all the injured are doing well, and it is believed all will recover. There are plenty of peo ple to take care of those needing as sistance and an abundance of provisions is- on hand. Rotaries are working from both directions, making good progress and doing everything possible to clear the track. Operator Is Dazed. A telegraph operator who was on duty at Wellington arrived at Scenic today. He was so frightened he could not speak and all efforts to get him to give infor mation as to the names- and number of the dead failed absolutely. This afternoon Superintendent O'Neill reached Wellington with a party of nurses and physicians. They made the trip on snowshoes. The bunkhouse at Wellington has been transformed into a temporary hospital and ten of the Injured are being cared for. Tomorrow the injured and dead wHl be brought to Scenic Hotel. Although the victims of yesterday's avalanche are only three miles from a telegraph station at Scenic Hot Springs, those three miles are straight Up the mountain side and In the present condi tion of the melting snow travel is at the risk of life. Hence it has' not been pos sible to get details of the accident. Though the names of only 17 dead are given, it is known positively that 23 per sons have been killed and that 12 bodies have been recovered. A conservative estimate places the number, of dead at 90. as It is almost certain that the 70 missing are lifeless at the bottom of the precipice over which the trains were hurled. PORTLANDER IX LIST UXKXOWN Ernesto Blnatole May Be Section Hand Sent by Agent. Ernesto Blnatole, a Portland man re ported missing in the Great Northern wreck, is not mentioned in the city directory, nor is he known in the Ital ian colony as far as could be learned. It is thought likely that he was a section hand sent from this city by an employment agent. VALE FLOODED, FEARS FELT Two Bridges Out, Water Highest on Record There. VALE, Or, March 2. (Special.) The whole town of Vale is inundated and -while the water has one and a half -miles to spread, it is rising at the rate of one and a half inches an hour. If the rise continues It will damage Vale to the extent of J50.000. It is still thawing. . It ts reported that the railroad bridge across Malheur River is going out. The county bridge, 12 miles west of Vale, Is down. The high water here is unpre cedented. The 1008-1909 crop of olives In Italy was. in many sections, a complete failure. In others a. partial one, and the general result was a ratherlntc of from one-third to- one firth the normal croj . PORTLAND ALONE LINE TO EAST Union Pacific Trains. for San Francisco Routed via 0. R. & N. ROUTES TO NORTH OPENED O. R. & X. to Spokane Uses North Bank Tracks Beyond Umatilla. Trains to North, South, East . Resume Regular Schedules. Bad weather conditions extending throughout the entire Northwest have served to. put Portland this week most prominently on the railroad map. Of the three Coast cities of Orecon and Washington, Portland was the only one Tuesday that had a through Eastern rail road connection. Today Portland will be on the Union Pacific route from the East to San Francisco, for the Southern roads are now feeling the effect of the storm, and the Salt Lake division of the Union Pacific is out of business. Tuesday Portland's only complete rail link with the East-was by way of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle. The O. R. & N. line was open, but the Oregon Short Line was blocked by washouts. The North ern Pacific and the Great Northern were both tied up and the detouring of Great Northern trains via Vancouver was pre vented by trouble on the Northern Pacific line between Portland and Tacoma. Line to North Is Open. Iast night the first trains since Mon day night arrived from Puget Sound. The principal trouble, which was in the vi cinity of Ostrander, was cleared up at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the Northern Pacific train, due in Portland at 4 P. M.. arrived one hour later. - AH through Northern Pacific and O. & W. trains between Portland and Puget Sound points were annulled Tuesday, and the Shasta Limited for a day made Port land Its northern terminus. Yesterday the Northern Pacific sent out all Its reg ular trains for the North on schedule time, but the O. & W. held its morning local train until 1 P. M. and later dis patched the Shasta Limited and the Owl over the road. It is expected that com plete service, with fairly close main tenance to schedule, will be in effect on both routes today. No through trains over the Harriman system from the East have arrived in Portland since Tuesday morning, but the severest trouble has been encountered on the Oregon Short Line. U. I. Routes Tia Portland. No details have been received here as to the exact nature of the blockade, and yesterday wire troubles prevented the transmission of official information. The latest report received was Tuesday night, when it was expected that the Short Line would be open within 24 hours. That tlls expectation has been realized is taken for granted from dispatches re ceived via San Francisco, announcing that two Union Pacific trains for San Francisco had been detoured from Og den via the Short Line and O. R. & N. to Portland, thence by the Shasta route to California. Washouts on the Salt Lake division have put the Union Pacific west of Ogden temporarily out of commis sion. The O. R. & N. tracks were cleared yesterday through to Huntington, but considerable delays were caused by small slides between Portland and Hood River. Weather conditions east of Hood River were not particularly bad, but trains were run under caution orders and ar rived in Portland from five to seven hours late. O. R. & X. Uses North Bank. Serious trouble was encountered, how ever, on the Washington division of the O. R. & N.. and trains for Spokane now go over the O. R. & N. tracks only to Umatilla and from there by way of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle and North ern' Pacific to Spokane. It is expected that the main line on the Washington division will not be opened again before Friday. The Palouse River is at an un precedented flood stage and all the city bridges at Colfax have been washed away and piled up against the railroad bridge, threatening to take it out. Water is over the track in many places in the vicinity of Colfax and numerous short stretches of track and several small bridges have gone out. The water is very high in Hay Canyon, which the O. R. & N. en ters after crossing the Snake River. Both Superintendent Buckley and Chief Engineer Boschke are in the flooded dis trict and large forces of men and quan tities of material have been rushed to the ground. Repairs will progress rap idly so soon as the stage of the water in the streams permits work. Schedules Again Resumed. The North Bank .route has been open continuously since the storm set in, with the exception of about six hours yester day, when traffic was delayed by a small slide at Vila, a station near White Salmon. The track is now clear and trains are moving, but with caution. The Southern Pacific Shasta route has not been materially affected, although tracks are soft and trains are from one to three hours behind schedule. Northern Pacific officials reported the main line from Seattle east open again yesterday. Officers of the North Bank route were congratulating themselves yesterday over the freedom from serious trouble on that HAS MAYOR SIMON SIGNS STREETCAR PERMIT The Mayor has signed the or dinance permitting; the Alameda Land Company to further extend the Broadway earline from its present terminus at the entrance of Alameda Park on throughthis residence section. The route to be followed is as follows : . From 24th and Fremont streets to Regents Drive, out Regents Drive to 29th street and out 29th street to Mason street. The actual work of. construc tion commenced several days ago. This is the big surprise which was promised the public a week ago. "With the regular Broadway service, which, by the way, is one of the best in the city. Alameda Park is most accessible. road. Detotiring of trains over that line provides a financial pick-up for the road. The accepted standard price in all such instances is Jl per mile per train. The train of another railroad company trav eling from Vancouver to Spokane pays the North Bank Road J378 and furnishes its own train crew. The North Bank, in such Instances, supplies a pilot, but charges the road thus accommodated for the pilot's wages. The $378 thus paid is practically net. " With the opening of the Northern Pa cific and Short Line roads all north, south and east-bound trains left the Portland terminals on schedule yester day. One of the trains detoured from Og den via Portland is the .special train carrying the White Sox baseball ag gregation to California. Another train carries seven Pullmans. Word was re ceived last night that a mail train, destined for California, had also to be detoured via Portland. FLOOD SITUATION IMPROVING Unless Heavy Rains Fall, Water May Prove "Blessing in Disguise." - Since noon yesterday the flood situ ation has improved greatly in the up per Willamette River At Portland the river stood 16.3 feet at 5 o'clock yes terday and a further rise of 1.5 feet may be expected but the water will not go above that mark unless unusually heavy rains fall during today and to night. The rise was almost entirely in the lower river and a flood stage has not been reached at either Albany or Salem. The river reaches a flood stage at Portland at 15 feet and at Salem and Albany, 20 feet- At Eugene, Jefferson and Harrlsburg the river is falling. The Clackamas is also falling at Estacada. At Salem and Albany, however, it is rising and a stage of 21 feet may be expected at Salem. The crest of the flood has about reacjied A?bany and the Willam ette will hit the top notch at that place at 18 feet. The Snake river at Weiser, Lewis ton and Riparla has risen rapidly dur ing the past 24 hours. There has also been a Tise in the upper Columbia. This risewill be felt in the lower Co lumbia by Saturday or Sunday. It will not affect the conditions at Portland however, for the Willamette will have run out by that time and the crest of the flood in the Willamette will have passed. Chinook winds are responsible .for the sudden rise in the Snake and Co lumbia rivers. While unusual and a trifle annoying at the present time it is in reality a blessing, as every foot of rise at this time reduces the possi bilities of exceptional high water in June. There is any amount of snow in the mountains and with large .quan tities melting and running off at this time It lessens the danger of a Sum mer freshet. Contractors at work on the removal of rock at the Big Eddy have been forced to abandon the project until the water goes down next "Fall. The holes were bored and everything in readiness for the placing of the charges when the sudden rise In the Columbia forced them to auit work. At Portland the river covered the lower deck of the Ash street dock at an early hour yesterday. At daylight the water had covered the lower deck of the Alaska dock and was dangerous ly close to the lower Ainsworth dock at K o'clock P. M. Freight has been removed from all the lower docks' and little or no damage will result from the flood. since the opening of the rainy sea son on September 1, to date, there has been an excess of 1.44 inches or Tain, Three davs ago there was a deficiency, but that amount has been, more than made no by the recent downpour. Rains have been heaviest at the lower end of the Willamette valley. Ttiere has been a decided rise In the barom eter over Northern Oregon and better conditions are anticipated. The lore iat for todav is for showers and west erly winds at Portland and for fair weather in Eastern Oregon. The East ern portion of Washington will have fair weather, but showers will prevail along tne coast and in me western portion. ENGINES PLOW WATER SERIOUS FLOODS MENACE GRAYS HARBOR COUNTRY. Union Pacific Bridge Being Con etructed Over Chehalls River Goes Out for Fourth Time. ABERDEEN, Wash., March 2. (Spe cial.) With the Chehalls River out of its banks at Rochester, and with the water a foot within the highest mark reached during the flood of last No vember. and rising at the rate of i foot a day. conditions in the Upper Chehalls Valley bid fair to repeat those of last Fall, when damage to the ex tent of thousands of dollars was done. Millions of feet of logs have been swept out to sea. For the fourth time the Union Pacific bridge now un der construction has been washed away and work on the Grays Harbor branch tied up. Incoming trains are all be hind time, the afternoon passenger plowing through water at Rainier on the way here that covered the tracks to the depth of eight inches. The snow in the upper valleys Is re ported by men making their way down on foot as being unusually heavy, and continued warm weather and rain may repeat the devastation of last Fall.

This will mean a subtraction of seven minutes from the running time to Alameda Park. Money is being made by those who have bought lots in this addi tion. The advance in values has just begun.

Some continue to suffer because their doctors have said their cases were chronic and incurable. Others have tried many remedies without relief and have become discouraged. The patient who has not tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills has neglected a remedy for rheumatism that has accom plished thousands of cures. It Is not a theory or an experiment. The cures are a matter of record and capable of proof. A Disease of the Blood. Rheumatism runs in families. It can be inherited. It is therefore in the blood. Every physician knows that the blood la greatly changed during an attack of acute rheumatism, that there are few acute diseases in which it becomes thin and watery with greater rapidity. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood. They begin at once to counter act the disease. Sometimes a very short treatment suffices to effect a cure. Qther cases require persistent treat ment. The following cases will be found to prove every statement made for this treatment: . MIMNG ENGINEER CURED. Although Exposed to Damp and Wet, Disease Has Not Returned. A permanent cure by this treatment is that of Mr. O. N. Jones, a mining engineer, of No. 3410 West Thirty-first avenue, Denver, Colo. "I was very much run down from overwork, he says, "and rheumatism developed. I had steady pains across the back and at times would get so stiff that I could hardly straighten out. Sometimes the pains would extend down the sciatic nerves of the limbs, then again there would be shooting pains through other parts of my body. "I kept losing flesh, and could not get a good night's rest. My stomach was in bad condition and I had no desire to eat. All the medicine I took was of little account until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had but little faith in their doing me any good but after tak ing one box I felt so much better that I sent for more. They absolutely cured me and although my work as mining engineer takes me in the damp and wet a great deal I have never had the rheu matism since." THIS LOS ANGELES WOMAN Was Helpless When She Bncsn Takinar Dr. Williams' Plait Pills. The cure of Mrs. K. M. Bowles, of No. 1717 Highland Court, Los Angeles. Cal., of a very severe cases of rheumatism is sufficient reason why any sufferer of this disease should give Dr. Williams" Pink Pills a thorough trial. She says: "As a result of several attacks of the grip, I was finally left In such a condi tion thai I fell a victim of inflammatory and muscular rheumatism. The attack came on . suddenly and settled in my arms, shoulders and limbs from the knees down to the feet. My heart soon became affected. I was obliged to go to bed as soon as I was taken sick and for over two months I was helpless. The pains were terrible and drew my arms up tight to my sides. My fingers were swollen to nearly twice their natural to two feet deep in water. Sidewalks and crossings have floated away from their positions, causing inconvenience to pedestrians and teams.

I had terrible pains in my head which the doctor said were rheumatic and there were frequent pains in my back. "My home was in Canada, and a doc tor from Toronto treated me for over a year. Then I gradually stopped using his medicine until I quit entirely. I was able to get up from the bed for a few minutes only and had to be helped in everything I did.

I improved so much that I was able to sew and finally was able to do all of my housework. I have been in the best of health since taking Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills and can recommend them very highly for rheu matism." OREGON FARMER CURED. It Was Frared That He Would Be Crippled for Life. Mr. George C. Long, a farmer, whose address is Box 4 3, K. F. D. No. 1. Oak land. Or., says:. "When I was quite young. I was a sufferer from rheumatism for nearly two years. The pains were in my neck and back and were so Intense that my neck was drawn back. My mother was afraid that I would be a cripple for life. I became pale, weak and thin. "I was treated by doctors for over a year and tried numerous remedies but received no benefit. Then my mother decided to. have me try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The first few boxes helped me and I began to gain in flesh and strength. A thorough trial of the pills entirely cured me and I have never had the slightest return of the disease." PAIN AND SWELLING Caused This Snohomish. Wash., Girl In tense Suffering;. The cure of Miss Marguerite Hall, a student, of Snohomish, Wash., of rheu matism, was recently described by her mother. Mrs. G. 'S. Hall, as follows: "A few years ago my daughter. Marguerite, was suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism. Her limbs were swollen To about twice their normal size and the pains extended from the knees to the feet. The pains were con stant and were so Intense that I could scarcely move her. "I arplied liniments and bandaged the limbs for some time but there was no improvement. I finally bought a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The pills helped her very quickly and I gave them to her until she was en tirely cured. She has not had an at tack since. I may also say that I have used the pills to build up my system. I shall always be grateful for the bene fit Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have given us. COULD HARDLY WALK. An Albany, Or., Woman Was Complete ly Cured. Mrs. A. G. Propst. whose address Is Box 17. R. F.

I gradually grew stronger, the dizziness left me ami I got so I could walk with out any pain. The rheumatism has entirely disappeared and I have had no return of it. I recommended Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills to my friends righfl along." SfFFEItED FOR YEARS. This California Woman Was Cured hy Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Mrs. D. H. Coates, of Campbell, Cal., gives Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the high est recommendation. She says: "For several years I was a suffered from rheumatism and could find no re lief. The pains were In my ankles, limbs, neck and shoulders. My ankle and limbs would become swollen ami oftentimes my shoulders were so lama that I could not raise my arms up to mjr head. When I stood on my feet therai were terrible sharp pains through them, "I finally began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills which I read of in a paper. They gave nie quick relief and cured me. I still use the pills as a tonic, whenever my work at' the postofflc causes me to- become run down or feel all tired out and they give relief everj time. I also consider the pills un equalled for the nerves as they curedl my daughter of St. Vitus' dance from which she had suffered for six years."
