TWO BRIDGES GONE
Disastrous Floods In Willamette
Valley Streams.
RESULT OF CONTINUOUS RAINS
Main Lino of Southern Pacific Block-
aded Santlam and Clackamas
Raging Torrents.
OFF FOR THE ISTHMUS.
Portland, Nor. 8. Floods In the
Santlam and Mollala rivers, caused by
tho recent rains, havo washed away
two Southern Pacific brldnca and ren
dered another unsafe. Tho main lino
of tho Southern Pacific Is effectually
blockaded, perhaps for weeks. The
bridge across tho Santlam at Jeffer
son was carried away last night, block,
lng tho main line. Tho South Santlam
brldgo on tho Woodburn-Nntron
branch wns washed out yesterday. Tho
Mollala bridge is so shaky that It will
not permit tho passage of trains. Tho
bridge of the O. W. P. ncross the
Clackamas near Oregon City Is unsafe.
Other damage has been caused and at
n lato hour last night the streams con
tinued to rise.
Passenger trains to California and
the Upper Willamette valley are boing
touted over the West Side division of
the Southorn Pacific to Corvallls and
over the Corvallls & Eastern tracks
to Albany., beyond which placo tho
Southorn Pacific's lino Is reported
clear. Freight Is refused at Portland
for points north of Albany on tho East
Side. Local passengers and frelgln
service will be maintained between
tho wrecked bridges.
Tho Overland leaving Portland yes
terday morning bad a narrow escape
from a disastrous wreck. A scant
half hour after tho train crossed tho
brldgo 100 feet of the falsework sup
porting the structure was swept away.
The river continued to rise rapidly and
lato last night tho romaining false
work went out, allowing tho 205-foot
steel span of the new brldgo in process
of erection to fall into the raging river.
The Santlam brldgo has been under
going reconstruction for somo time
and falsework had been built to sup
port tho weight of trains whllo the old
woodon structure was being replaced
with a new steel bridge. Had the now
bridge been in or the old ono left In
tact no damage would probably have
occurred. Tho Overland train, due In
Portland last night, wns dlvorted from
tho main line at Albany and this or.
rongement will bo continued until '
damago Is repaired. Passenger trains
will be oporated locally betweon Port
land and Jefferson.
A wrecking crew was put to work at
the bridge yesterday and an attempt
made to save it from going out, but
the Santlam, swollen by the heuvy
rains of tho past few days, continued
to rlso rapidly. At a lato hour last
night it was reported as rising six
Inches an hour.
The flood also disabled the Southern
Pacific bridge on tho Woodburn- Nat
ron line, and caused heavy damage to
sawmill men by the breaking of
booms. Quantities of cord wood be
longing to tho Lebanon paper mills
wero also washed away. Reports from
Jefferson Indicate that much moro
damage will be done before tho flood
subsides.

Ho created every reserve recommend

The Shoshone rosorve Is created in

In creating these various reserves
It Is stated that all their natural re
sources will be available for use and
development, but they will bo admin

under tho protective system and tim
ber cutting will be restricted to ma

serve is the largest of tho lot.
