The Oregon Electric' although Its schedule had been totally demoralised Saturday by the falling of trolley lines along the route, began operating cars on schedule) over the Salem and i Klllsboro lines to the Jefferson-street depot yestcrjay morning, and later In the day began running them clear through to the North Hank station as usuaL The Mount Hood Railway. Light Power Company had no complaint to make, either of schedule Impaired or cf extensive Injury to Its property. The power plant was In operation last night without trouble and was able to furnish lighting to the districts In Sf. Johns. Piedmont and other sections It supplies. The total damage to the property of the company due to the destruction of telephone wiring; and other property in the storm will prob ab'y not exceed $2000. LIVE-MEN ARE KEPT BUST Streetcar Lines Crippled and Electric Lights Still Out. Although !e linemen and almost as many more laborers were busy all Sat urday night and nearly all day yester day, streetcar service was crippled on most of the lines and a large part of the city was without electric lights. It j was not possible to supply any electric j service excepting for streetcars on the j Kant Mde ana on ine outer aistncts or the West Side, and it probably will not be possible to restore the service com plete before the end of the week. Every effort was made to maintain a good streetcar service and on some of the Unas the regular 6uaday sched ules were kept op after the ears got tne Ice off the wires and rails In th morning. On many other lines the oars were run as often as possible without regard to schedules. The suburban lines were operated on a slow schedule and trains were kept going all las;, night. The Cszadero cars wers able to maln- I tain a service of an hour and a quar ter, while the Oregon City cars ran about an hour apart. Many Polea Dam. It was not possible for some cars to go to the end of their lines. This was true In the Fulton district, which was open only to Virginia street. Teople going to the Rivervlew Cemetery were required to walk nearly a mile. This was on account of the line of poles being down and many branches of trees being serosa the tracks. The Broadway cars during part of the day were routed by way of Irving ton. In many parts of the city cara had to plow their way through droop ing branches of .trees coated with sev eral inches of Ice. The electric light situation, especially on the East Side, was extremely diffi cult to handle because of the danger of accident from the network of fallen wires which dangled on every street and In nearly every, front yard. Many of the street lights could have been turned on. but there was danger of the street-light wires being In contaot with telephone, wires, which would give users of telephones severe electric shocks and endanger pedestrians. Be cause of this danger, all East Side circuits were cut off and the network of broken wires was dead. Repair Manet Walt. Just how long the East Side and the outer West Side districts will be with out service the railway officials were unable to say yesterday. It was not possible to handle the wires In their coats of Ice and it will not be safe to turn the current Into the wires until they are straightened out and safety Is assured. O. It. Coldwell. general superintend ent of the Portland Railway, Light at power Company, made a survey of con ditions yesterday In an automobile. He Inspected all the East Side tracks aa far aa Eighty-second street. "The light wires." said Mr. Cold well, "are heavily coated with Ice and In some cases the primary wires are being swayed by the wind with some likelihood of going down. In other places it was found that the telephona poles had fallen upon our wires and were suspended In the air. "In still other cases trees have fallen across the wires and caused breaks. In each of these cases there is dsnger. and while we could turn on the current and furnish light to a large number, we would be taking chances of endanger ing lives. 3SO Llaeawea at Work. "We had 250 linemen out working upon the lines Saturday and last night, and they are still at work, fixing up the breaks and straightening poles. Our feed lines are working, although, ow ing to the break in the telephone line with Caxadero. we have shut down the plant at that point. The steam auxil iary plants In Portland and the Oregon City line are working and furnishing all of the power necessary to handle the load. it will take several days to get the East Side In shape, providing that no further damage ensues."

Just what damage has been done to plants and shrubs in the City Park will not be fully determined until after thawing begins. The principal damage thus far la to the birch trees, whose branches are especially brittle. The bamboos, too, have been considerably damaged. It the frost has not Injured them the heavy coating of Ice which now burdens them may make it Im possible to put them back Into shape. Fortunately few of the Imported trees, which are scattered through the park, have suffered broken branches, and only a few have been bent over by the Ice. The park was thronged throughout the day by people who wished to view the work of the frost In the city's most beautiful spot. Scores of cameras were taken there and at every angle of the paths amateurs and professionals were engaged In making negatives of the UOJTT SNOW PREDICTED. Weather forecast for Portland and vicinity Usht snow, with slowly moderating temperatures. Reports from outside points were lste and in many cases missing at the United States Weather Bureau last night, and the forecast was mada on the probabilities as gleaned from the few reports received. Delicatessen and Bakery Departments. 4tn Flour Home-Made Bread and CaRes The "silver thaw has already cost the telephone companies more than $71,000 and the damage Is reported to be accumulating hourly. It Is thought by officials of the two companies that they will be fortunate If the combined loss Is confined within 1100,000 by the time the prostrate service Is recov ered. A total of more than 500 telephones In the city are out of service and more than 700 miles of wires are down. In addition to this there are more than TOO miles of toll lines out of service, cutting off virtually all the telephones connected with the toll exchanges. The Pacific Telephone er Telegraph Company probably will lose heavier than any other of the public utility companies, the system being In a de plorable condition. C H. Moore, dis trict commercial superintendent, esti mated the loss last night at $50,000. H. A. Klrkland, of the Home Tele phone Company, reported the damage to that company to amount to about 125. 000. More than 1000 city telephones are out of service. No estimate of the miles of wire down could be made but It was thought certain there was more than 200 miles within the city. All the toll system Is prostrate. East Side Suffers Moat. The Eaat Side system suffered most severely, there being but few residence telephones In working order In the dis trict where overhead leads are carried.

In the Park Blocks the branches of a few trees have been broken. If a wind should rise and the over-burdened branches should sway to any extent many would be broken off. "Unless we have wind or snow with in the next 24 hours the injury to trees and shrubs In the parks will not be heavy." said Park Superintendent Mische last night. "Unfortunately the storm Is not yet over and there Is no telling what may happen within the next few hours. If even a light snow should fall trees would be Injured ev erywhere. The weight on the limbs now Is many times the weight of the foliage In Summer and even a slight Increase In the burden of snow would causa limbs to snap. A peculiar fact In connection with the storm Is that the native trees are standing the strain successfully, while those tbat have been transplanted are suffering. The storm I Is also affording ns an excellent oppor- tunlty to determine how certain trees and plants should be planted. The ground Is not frosen to any depth scarcely. There Is practically no dam age from cold. All plants likely to be so Injured were transferred to the oel lara aad greeouseaV? Totals .'. 60S "The greatest damage done was on the East Side of the river on account of the fact that In the outlying residence districts the leads are made up of open wire, while on the West Side of the river the entire business section and a good portion of the resldenoe section is in underground cables," said Mr. Moore. "As a matter of fact the storm seemed much mors severe on the East Bide than on the West Side. Loag-Dlataaee) Wires Oat. Tn addition to the damage done in the city all the long-distance lines are out. Lata yesterday afternoon the com pany succeeded in getting a talking cir cuit through to Ashland on the south nd north to Seattle. About 25 poles of the main toll lead south were flat on the ground near the gold links. By working a large crew of men from day light until dark, the poles were reset and it la expected that at least partial service will be restored by noon today. The trouble on the lines east to Spo kane Is near Bridal Veil and it is hoped by the officials of the company to have the lines working sometime this after noon. The trouble on tne lines nortn Is between Portland and Vancouver, Wash, and also a break near Centralia. By working a big crew of man the com pany believes It will be able to restore service today. TulnexeeaV Brought from Seattle. "As to the length of time telephones In the city will be out of order I am unable to say. Every available line man In the city, numbering about 250, worked yesterday. Today an additional 160 men will be brought from Seattle and Spokane and other cities, making a total of 400. With this big crew it is hoped to clear up all trouble and re store the damage within a few days. If the weather continues good all tele phones should be In working order be fore the end of the week. -We ask our subscribers to be pa tient. as service will bs restored as soon as possible." Emergency Crews at Work. The Home Company Is also working a large force of men on the toll and also ths city lines and will recover all lines as quickly as possible. Every emergency man has been called Into service. Many of the company's poles are down and the service outside the business section Is virtually prostrate. The linemen of the Portland Railway, TLlsht eV Power Company Joined the telephone linemen In making repairs yesterday. It was said to be almost Im possible to restore any lines because of the heavy coata of Ice on the wlrea. This made It difficult to handle the wire and In most cases it was found Impossible to make connections be cause of the strain on the wires from ths weight of Ice. Barracks' Trees Damaged. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash., Jan. T. (Special.) The trees around the quarters of General Marion P. Maus, commander of the Department of the Columbia, and Colonel Oeorge K. McOunnegle. commanding officer in ths post, suffered more damage than any others from the sleet storm and silver thaw." Several of the most magnificent trees' in front of both quarters were almost stripped of limbs, being weighted down by a heavy coating of Ice. Many wires were down at the post, but there Is no serious damage. Barns Fall Under Snow. CASTLE ROCK. Wash., Jan. 7. (Special.) This city was In darkness last night and the telephone service Is badly crippled. Wires are down In all directions. Fourteen Inches of snow and sleet covers the ground. Flat roofs are in danger and some bams are said to have collapsed. The Y. M. C. A. building was in danger yes terday, but by heroic efforts the youmr men saved the structure.

Cardwell Declares He Does Not Think Yonns Orchards Hare Ex perienced Great Harm as Result of Icy Storm. Whlla the sleet storm snd "silver thw" of Saturday probably havs done considerable damage to orcnaras m .. vicinity of Portland and-alon the Co lumbia River, It Is not thought that its effect will be generally very destruct ive In other parts of the state, since the weather conditions were much milder farther up th. Willamette Val ley. . . in. how much damage was done to orchards about Portland has not yet been estimated, but from, the destruc tion among trees of all kinds within the city, which were frequently com pletely shattered under the weight of accumulated Ice, It Is feared that or chards may have suffered. J. R. Cardwell. a lormer president of the Oregon Horticultural eocieiy, does not think that the damage has been either great or very far-reaching. It la too early in the season ior ine coldness of the weather to Injure the trees or the prospects of a good apple crop next season." he said. "There is. of course, probability that some trees were broken down under the Ice, but damage In this Way would b. Jjieavier in old trees and la trees stand. lng separated, as they do on the lawns and parks of . the city. Toung trees In orchards, I am Inclined to think, would not be so liable to Injury, both because of their greater flexibility and because they would be close enough together to serve as mutual shields against the storm of sleet. I believe that investigation will show that young orchards in this district have not received much lasting or serious damage." SCX SHINES OK DESTRUCTION Sliver Thaw Plays Havoc With Shrubs In Rivervlew Cemetery. In Rlverrlew Cemetery a spectacle beautiful, yet saddening, was presented yesterday morning when tne Drigni sun rose on the night's havoc. Every tree and shrub In the vast tract had been turned Into one of the weeping variety by the weight of sleet on its branches, and tne delicate filigree sparkled In the brilliant light to a dazzling degree. Yet destruction ac companied the ornamentation, and at every instant a crash could be heard In some recess of the grounds as a great branch was wrested out and fell to the ground. The damage, however. Is believed to be mostly temporary, few trees having been completely uprooted. Along the Taylor Ferry road, skirting the cem etery, festoons of dislodged wire lined the highway, and electric communica tion was entirely shut off. Ice Cans of Two Injuries. Two Injuries were the toll of ths snow storm In the city yesterday. Miss M. HInch sustained a broken arm by falling and Dennis Grace fell from a housetop when he attempted to clear a clogged water-pipe, and sustained a oroaen coiiar-Done. Mr. Grace lives at 629 Hast Ankeny and was formerly sexton of GC Francis' Catholic Church. While visiting with Father Black, pastor of the church, yes terday, the priest asked htm to fix a water-pipe that was stopped by ice. He climbed to the roof of the building and, while attempting to dislodge the ice, fell to the ground, 22 feet below. He was taken to St- Vincent's Hospital. Miss Hlnch fell while walking on the street. , POLE FALLS, HITS HOUSE HOLE IS RIPPED IV ROOF OF EAST SIDE HOIE. Telephone Linemen Work Steadily in Effort to Mend Damage to Long-Distance Lines. A falling telephone pole, pulled down by the weight of more than 60 Ice-covered wires, strung according to the old system of telephone distribution, struck a residence belonging to Mrs. E. Morgan, at 656 East Alder street and ripped a good-sized hole in the roof. From East Eighteenth street west to the central station of the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph Company every pole is down and the wires are lying on the roofs and trees. The poles began falling early Satur day night where the line turns a cor ner on East Eighth street Other poles soon followed and one fell on the house of Mrs. Morgan. The poles carry long-distance wires -, running to the smaller towns in East ern Multnomah County and further -along the line of the new Mount Hood Railway and the Oregon Water Power. Since 1907, when the sleet storm ruined almost the whole system, the company has been using cables with the ex- " ception of long-distance lines. Linemen worked all day yesterday clearing up the wires already down and trying to strengthen the remaining poles, some of which are standing at giddy angles. A number had to be cut down because they endangered the ' lives of pedestrians. Wood Cutter's Injuries Better. The condition of Leo Roland, a wood cutter. Injured Saturday night when a tree fell on his hut near Gresham, who was brought to this city after he hal been carried seven miles through slush and snow by his companions, yester day was improved. An operation was performed on him In the afternoon at Good Samaritan Hospital. His left arm Is broken in two places. The other In juries consist of severe bruises. There . were no indications of internal In- -juries. BREAKS THE MOST STUBBORN GOLD AND ENDS GRIPPE IN A FEW HOURS Says It Is Useless to Take Quinine for a Bad Cold or to Relieve Grippe Misery. The most severe cold will be broken. and all grippe misery ended after tak ing a dose of Pape's Cold Compound every two hours until three consecutive doses are taken. Tou will distinctly feel all the dis agreeable symptoms leaving after the very first dose. The most mlseraoie neaaacne, dull ness, head ana nose etunea up, lever- ishness, sneering, running of tne nose, sore throat, mucous catarrhal dis charges, soreness, stiffness, rheumatism pains and other distress vanishes. Pape's Cold Compound is the result of three years' research at a cost of . more than ifty thousand dollars, and contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demonstrated is not effec -tlve in the treatment of colds or grippe. Take this harmless Compound as directed, with the knowledge thai ' there is no other medicine made any where else in the world, which will cure your cold or end Grippe misery as promptly and without any other aslstance or bad after-effects as a 25 cent package of Pape's Cold Com pound, which any druggist in the, world can supply.
