WITH HEAVY GALES Railroads Suffer the Worst Tie-Up General Bridges Out Im mense Slides Obstruct Traffic. Dispatches from all along the North Pacific Coast first few days of this week brought the news of heavy rain storms, often accompanied by violent wind. Rather early for the. Spring Equlnocial and the cooler conditions following to this morning shows it to have probably been a sort of side swipe from storm center on the Pa cific south-west of the coast, as the storms seem to have abated, or at least spent their lury, no new out breaks are reported. who otnrm was severe in many places. A 70-mile gale raged at Juan du Fuca. Straight and no attempts were made to enter the Columbia river for 48 hours. At North Head the wind reached a veloclay of 68 miles an hour, Sunday. Wlriaanrpml rtnmflEre throughout the Columbia River Valley followed the heavy downpour. Trains were staneu, bridges swept away, farms overflow ed QnH trwna nut off from communi cation with the outside world. The rain swelled the smallest stream to a torrent. Logs and driftwool were awAnt nwav. carrying destruction to everything in their path. Several loe rafts plied up on me Mofiiann-ntrpRt. bridge at Portland, Monday and threatened to carry thai structure away. Later the tug Samp son crashed into the bridge, damaging tha draw nlpr. The. hridee is out of alignment and was closed to aH traf fic except persons afoot. The worst effects of the storm are Koiiovori tn hnvp. missed. The cold weather stopped the melting of snows in the mountains and an streams are avnontoA tn uiilisifle nulcklv. In fact, many of the rivers tributary to the Willamette and Columbia commenced falling Tuesday. However, it will re quire more time for these streams to reach their highest point. Towns along the Lower uoiumma River on the Washington shore have ...fforoyi f,vim tho floods. Woodland streets are under water in a part of the town. Kalama is in aarKness on acount of floods, and the Lewis and Cowlitz rivers are running banks full. Tnira nnrl slilnirle holts have been swept away in large quantities. Thp iinner Columbia country is al so threatened by floods. Streams are high and logs are being swept towaru the Columbia in large numbers. For the most part, however, the timbers is being saved through the efforts of tlmbermen, who are doing everything to hold the logs in booms. The Eastern Oregon country is ex periencing the most trouble of the winter from floods. Bridges were carried away, and there Is great dam age to towns and farms. Train service on the O. R. & N. to the East Is probably not yet restored, nithnneh construction crews are work ing like mad to onen the line. Bridges have been washed away in many plac es and embankments are gone. There are gaps in the track of several hun dred feet that will have to be re built with pile drivers. The Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway, which was to have opened for traafflc Tuesday, cannot operate a schedule this week. A big slide covered the track for a long distance at Carson. A steam shovel is at work clearing the track. Log jams in the Washougul river piled up against the railroad bridge and carried away sev eral bents. Piling in the approaches was broken. There was 5,000,000 feet of logs banked against the bridge. In other places bridges were weak died bo that trains dare not cross. The mountain streams running into the Columbia became torrents and ran up level with the banks. Water in the Cowlitz Is falling. No harm has been done, beyond the loss of timber, which will not be heavy, because the big boom at the mouth of the river has most of the logs and bolts. Yamhill river has risen 1G feet and Is still rising. This makes sawmill men happy, as several million feet of logs will be loosened up on Mill and Wlllamlna creeks. The Lewis river was on a rampage, but the water has fallen about 12 inch es. The school house and the otilce of the Woodland Echo could only be reached by boat or high rubber boots. Peterson's boom, a mile above Woodland, went out and about 1.000.- 000 feet of logs went down the river. These, with other logs and debris, were jammed above the Northern Pa cific bridge.

Sleeplessness FARM NOTES The milkman's profit in dairying Is atttained only by feeding up to the highest point all of the time that the cows are being milked. No unnecessary delay should be al lowed between anv of the nrocesses in the manipulation of the milk or the manufacture of the butter. It is claimed that butter made from the cream and milk of cows that have not been fed grain Is different in fla vor and taste. When milk is allowed to become sour, it is more or less waste. The sugar turns to acid, thus lessening the feed value. While the bard should be comfort able, It should also be well ventilated, Some barns are hotbeds for tubercu losls germs. Dairying adds to the wealth of the community ans well as the Individual and the evidence is at hand in every deary community. The dairy bull should be fed like a working horse, and should receive plenty of exercIse.Work him in a tread power. The making of good butter begins with the care of the cows, and is followed up until the butter is plac ed on the market. The Iowa State Dairy Commission has discovered that it takes from six to twelve cents to make a pound of butter. The Phenomenal Blackberry is ex actly what its name implies. It la a wonder in the blackberry line, both in size and in production. It is one of Burbank's greatest production. The best aid toward making a suc cess of the private dairy is to have private customers customers who will take the product at a fixed price all through the year. Not only must the dairyman select the breed adapted to the kind of dairying he is pursuing, but a care ful selection of individual animals must be made. Keep a record of the breeding of each cow, so you will know when she is due to calve, and then allow her to go dry six weeks before calving. Have you noticed that the lean cow with th,e big barrel always gives the most milk? It isn't produced on the dual purpose plan, either. Take care of the young stock for they are the nursery of the dairy; and as they are bent as calves they will be inclined as cows. What Is Causing the Increase of Ca tarrh In Oregon City? In spite of the best efforts of medi cal men, catarrhal troubles are In creasing not only in Oregon City, but all over the country. Catarrh is a germ disease, and to cure it germ life in the breathing or gans should be destroyed, and to do this no other treatment has such posi tive and beneficial action as Hyomei. When the mucous membrane is irri tated and raw and the tissues weaken ed, there is an Ideal lodging place tor catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei and and see how quickly it soothes the membranes, vitalizes the tissues and destroys all the disease germs, ren dering catarrh no longer possible. There Is no dangerous stomach drugging when Hyomei is used; no tablets or liquid mixtures destroying digestion. Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every Hyomei outfit, the healing balsams penetrate to the most remote air cells of the throat, nose and lungs, destroying the catarrhal germs so that quick recov ery follows. Huntley Bros. & Co. agree to re fund the money to any purchaser of. Hyomei who does not find that It does all that Is claimed for It. - The complete outfit costs but $1.00.

The Rhodes PRUNING SHEARS (PATENTED) EVERY fruit grower will appreciate the advantages of a prun ing shears that has a double cutting edge, as all the pruning shears heretofore on the market have had only one cuting edge, and the other edge being dull would bruise and peel the bark from the limb and Injure it so it would not heal up smoothly, but the Rhodes Pruning Shears having a double cutting edge, cuts from both sides of the limb and does not bruise the bark, but leaves a clean, smooth cut that heals up rapidly. All previous attempts to make a double cutting pruning shears have been failures, as the shear blades would draw together and cut themselves; but with the Rhodes Double Cut Pruning Shears this difficulty has been overcome by the overlapping points, as you will notice by the cuts that the points of the Rhodes Shears pass by each other before the shears cuts into the limb far enough to draw the blades, and it is impossible for the blades to dra wtoegther them selves after the (polnts pass each other. The Rhodes 'Double Cut Pruning Shears are finely finished and are made from the best quality of material. The shear blades are forged from tool steel and are carefully ground and tempered. The handles are maple. The ferrules are of wrought iron four inches long, with an extra ferrule one Inch long on the end. There is a rivet put through the ferrule, handle and shank of the shears which keeps the ferrule and shears from coming loose from the handle. Blades of Wood Handle PrUners are the same size for all lengths. Price $2.50 For Sale By THE COURIER Will give you the Election news Straight.
