Traffic has been entirely suspended over the Madison-street bridge and it in possible that the ancient structure will not withstand the flood. A few persons on foot were permitted to cross yesterday, but at 1:30 in the afternoon r'n this was stopped. The bridge will not be opened aura in during the freshet and It Is likely that It will not e again opened for streetcar traffic. -it tne east end of the bridge there 3 a large amount of drift which is training the structure heavily at that Jioint. The steamers Stimson and KI iader worked at the drift pile all day jest-may Dut made little impression n the pile of Togs lodged against the t'ridge. The west span swayed fully Jour inches yesterday afternoon, due to the action of the current on the piling of tiie additional piers. At the public levee eight river steam ers and a dredge are moored but they are In an eddy and are In no danger of going adrift. At the O. W. P. dock, on the East Side, are the ships Lev-J.-ind Brothers. Brablock and Neots field. They are all well fast and no Manger Is feared for them. Supervisor Chapman said yesterday: -I do not think, that the bridge will carry away the action of the flood If all traffic Js kept off. I think the structure dan srerou. however, and am In favor very strongly of the construction of a new one." May Xot Be Reopened. -Hefore the high water." said Judge a roster, last nlcnt. "the bridge was safe. There was no chance for It to go down, for we had placed piling beneath it for nupport. Of course, the piling didn't look very nice, but It made the bridge passable. Now that the piling has been washed out. the bridge ts unsafe for cars or wagons. "Whether It will ever be opened again. J rannot say. It Is our desire to keep the bridge open to traffic as long as possi ble, for it serves a large part of the Kast Side. Our action In the matter will depend entirely upon the condition In which we And it when the present flood subsides. If It cannot then be made safe !t will remain closed. The pressure of tha current against the structure made It impossible ' for time, to open the draw this morning but Contractor Wakefield put his men to "rk- "! after about our hours suc ceeded In getting the draw to open for river traffic." 6TEALEB INTELLIGENCE.

Xorlli Bank Train Stalled. The North Bank road was out of com mission yesterday, having serious wath ou.s at numerous places. Trains due to leave both Portland and Pasco Tuesday night could not get through because of water trouble near Harbin, Roosevelt. Butler and points east of Stevenson. Late yesterday the worst trouble on the line was wejst of Stevenson, at Woodward Crook, but aftT an all day battle with the floods, the line was opened last night and trains left on lime. The Northern Pacific was In bad shape yesterday between Pasco and Spokane, ml water was running over the tracks in several places. The lines were opened la.' t night and trains were again running as usual. A bridge in Hay Canyon, Wash., on the O. R. A S., was entirely washed out by Moods and another bridge nearby was badly damaged. Strangely enough, two bridges in Hay Canyon, Or., on the line of the Shaniko branch, of the O. R. & X. were also badly crippled by the floods. Three bents were washed from under one bridge and several more supports were swept away from another. An entirely new bridge, 200 feet long and 40 feet high, will have to be built to replace the struc ture washed away on the. Washington division. liridge and Track Gone. About 4001) feet of track has been washed out at various places on tiie O. R. N.. between Pendleton and Adams, on the Washington division, to a depth of from two to ten feet deep. Seven bei.ts and tiO feet of the east approach to the bridge at Juniper, on the Wash ington division, were washed out. After the wreck near Squally Hook was cleaned up yesterday, the main line of the O. R. & N., between Portland and Huntington was kept open. Operating officials reported last night that, speaking In railroad parlance, "small spews" along the line were their only trouble. Superintendent Budd of the 'Clamshell route, the Ilwaco Railroad & Navigation Company, reported serious trouble be tween Megler and Clatsop, the portion of the line completed and put Into opera tion for the first time last year. For a long distance the track skirts the shore of Bakers Bay, and the winds of the past few days have swept the heavy surf gainst the track embankment, carrying out loo feet of track.

Occidental civilization Is proving too much for the Hindus who have been pour ing Into the country and as a result of attempting to emulate the white man's ways. 18 disciples of Brahma were In the Municipal Court yesterday morning, on charges ranging from drunkeness to dis orderly conduct. Although these Hindus have been In America only a few months, they have already forgotten fastings and religious fanaticism of every sort and are rapidly becoming bestial in a degree suitable to a new environment.'

There will be a meeting of citizens and property owners interested in opening: this street In the Midway flrchouso tomorrow night to take the Initial steps. If tho movement Is suc cessful East Seventeenth street will be extended throug-h the Ladd farm paral lel to and 200 feet east of Milwaukle road. Councilman A. N. Wills favors the opening of this street, and If need be, will bring all his power In tho Coun cil to bear-to bring It about. He calls attention to the fact that by opening East Seventeenth sreet to Sellwood and to Powell street a new street will be provided besides Milwaukle, now the only street from the south. Councilman Wills does not expect much if any opposition from the Ladd estate as the estate contemplates the platting of the farm on Milwaukle street next year, and w-ill want this and other streets. A large water main at least 24 Inches In diameter, will be laid on tho new street to supply the district to the south and supplement the water supply at Sellwood which is growing short.

Do you know what it means? It's a pretty good sign that the medicine contains a deadly poison which settles at the bottom of the bottle. One dose would make busi ness for the undertaker, hence the warning to mix It up. Few people realize the danger In drugs until their health is gone ot their nerves and vitals wrecked by poisonous mixtures. Then you can understand how useless It is to try to fool nature with stimulants, narcotics and poisons. The ostrich hides its head and thinks he is out of reach of-the hun ter's rifle. Some people do things just as ansnru. You cover up the symptoms of a disease ana imagine you are cured. Just as soon as you stop using the drug the trouble returns worse than ever. You have got to remove the cause before you can cure any ailment. If you have a splinter In your fin ger, the only way to get rid of the pain and inflammation is to get the splinter out. Of course, you could take cocaine or morphiMO and re lieve all the pain for a while, but that wouldn't remove the cause. The reason for nearly every chron ic disease or ailment Is a want of vitality and energy by some part of your body machinery. What is this vitality? Nothing more than electricity. Then, the onJy way to restore It Is to restore electricity to the body. Electro-Vigor is the best and most successful de-ice for applying elec tricity. It Is easily, comfortably worn while you sleep.
