TWO BRIDGES GONE
Disastrous Floods In willamette
Valley Streams.
RESULT OF CONTINUOUS RAINS
Main Line of Southern Pacific Block
aded-Santiam and CIackamas
Raging Torrents.

Portland, Nov. 8.-Floods in the
Santiam and Mollala rivers, caused by
the recent rains, have washed away
two Southern Pacific bridges and rem
dered another unsafe. The main line
of the Southern Pacific is effectually
blockaded, perhaps for weeks. The
bridge across the Santiam at Jeffer.
son was carried away last night, block
ing the main line. The South Santiam
bridge on the Woodburn-Natron
branch was washed out yesterday. The
Mollala bridge is so shaky that it will
not permit the passage of trains. The
bridge Of the o. w. P. across the
Clackamas near Oregon City is unsafe.
Other damage has been caused and at
tinued to rise.
Passenger trains to California and
the Upper Willamette valley are being
routed over the West Side division, of
the Southern Pacific to Corvallis and
over the Corvallis & Eastern tracks
to Albany, beyond which place the
Southern Pacific's line is reported
clear. Freight is refused at Portland
for points north of Albany on the East
Side. Local passengers and freighi
service will be maintained between
the wrecked bridges.
The Overland leaving Portland yes
terday morning had a narrow escape
from a disastrous wreck. A scant
half hour after the train crossed the
bridge 100 feet of the falsework sup
porting the structure was swept away.
The river continued to rise rapidly and
late last night the remaining false
work went out, allowing the 205-foot
steel span of the new bridge in process
of erection to fall into the raging river.
The Santiam. bridge has been under
going reconstruction for some time
and falsework had been built to sup
port the weight of trains while the old
wooden structure was being replaced
with q new steel bridge, Had the new
Dridge been III or the old one Ieft In
tact no damage would probably have
occurred. The Overland train, due in
Portland last night, was diverted from
the main line at Albany and this ar
arrangement will be continued until
damage is repaired. Passenger trains
will be operated locally between 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, brt
the Santiam, swollen by the heavy
rains of the past few days, continued
to rise rapidly. At late hour last
night it was reported as rising six
inches an hour.
The flood also disabled the Southern
Pacific bridge on the Woodburn- Nat
ron line, and caused heavy damage to
sawmill men by the breaking of
booms. Quantities of cord wood be-
longing to the Lebanon paper mills
were also washed away Reports from
Jefferson indicate that much more
damage will be done before the flood

MORE FOREST RESERVE.
Proclamation Signed BY President for
New Area of 7,406, $50 Acres.

washington, Nov. 9. = President
Roosevelt. before leaving for Panama
signed a proclamation creating four
new forest reserves in. Idaho, and en-
larging two others, adding to the re
serve area Of the state 7,406,556 acres
he created every reserve recommend
ed by the Forest Service, including
sac Shoshone feserxe ID Northern
Idaho, which was SO vigorously fought
by Senator Hepburn. Creation OF
these reserves exemplifies the admin
istration's disregard of Heyburn's pro
test and leaves Hepburn nothing more
to fight for
Great Coeur d'AIene Reserve.
The Shoshone reserve is created in
conjunction with the Occur dsAlene
reserve, adjoining it on the north, and
two others to be known as the CoeuI
d'Alene reserve. Their aggregate area
is 2,250,000 acres, They lie in Sho
shone and Kootenai counties, extend
ing northward to the middle of Lake
Bend d'Oreille.
In creating these various reserves
it is stated that all their natural re-
sources will be available for use and
development, but they will be admin.
istered by the Forest Service, placed
under the protective system and tim
ber cutting will be restricted to ma
ture timber. The Occur d'Alene re-
serve is the largest of the lot.
Lemh and Kootenai.
The Lemhi reserve, next in size, en-
braces 1,346,460 acres in Lemhi and
Custer counties. This reserve con
sists of three narrow strips Of land
running northwest and southeast ad-
Joining the Montana boundary. In
Vulnerable streams that empty into the
Lemhi river head in this territory.
In extreme Northeastern Idaho, on
the British Columbia and Montana
lines, 165,240 acres have been re-
served, forming but small segment
Of the larger Kootenai reserve in
Montana. Like the Lemhi this re
serve lies on the west slope of the
Rocky Mountains.
Great Tract on Salmon River.
The Salmon River reserve in Lemhi
and Custer counties embraces 2,201,-
120 acres. 1t comprises a solid block
of mountainous country lying between
the Salmon River and the middle fork
of the Salmon river.
In CaSSla and oneida counties z9l,-
976 acres have been set apart as the
Raft River reserve, embracing many
tributaries of Raft River and Deep
creek
Numerous additions are made to the
Sawtooth reserve, their aggregate area
being 1871, ,760 acres. These addi-
tions are made'at various points along
the present boundary.

was announced yesterday that they
now have orders in for $21, 900, 900

The REASON WHY
Bourne Should Not
Be Elected u.
S. Senator

The New Age has said before and il
now says again that it does not be-
Iieve that the next legislature will
elect j. Bourne, Jr., to the United
States senate. 1t has been said that
our opposition to Mr.. Bourne is in
spred by prejudice. and that we can
give no good reason for opposing him
since he was regularly named by the
republican voters for the office.
We opposed Mr.. Bourne during the
primaries for the reason that we knew
him to be unfit for the high office to
which he aspred.
First-That he Is not a loyal and
consistent republican.
second-That he is a traitor and
political bIack-Ieg.
Thlrd-That he could not be depend-
ed upon to support Roosevelt.
i b rad been loyal and eonslstsnt
republican he would not have deserted
his party in the hour Of its dire dis
tress, when the blight of Organism and
populism overshadowed the country in
1906. But as true and loyal repub-
Iican would have put self aside and
rendered whatever service he could
for his party and his republican
friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed
and Bryan had been elected who can
say that there would have been today
a strong, inVincible republican party
in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy.
The legislative session of 1895 was
the most spectacular in the history Of
oregon and the King Pin of that ses-
sion was J. Bourne Jr., whose mall
odorous record is even yet stencil in
the nostriIs of decent people. With a
goodIy supply of money and other cor
rupting influences the trick of thwart-
ing the will of the people and debauch-
ing the honor of the citizenry was the
special mission of this political monte
bank, who, now, ten short years after
ward, has the brazen affrontery to seek
this high and honorable position at
the hands of the party, whose murder
he conspired to bring about.
In the light of the past record Of
Mr.. Bourne, who Is so unsuspecting as
to trust him in the future? Does any.
one who knows him, save his hired
henchmen, think for minute that he
can be depended upon to stand up for
republican principles and policies in
the United States senate, and to up
hold the hands of lifelong, true and
tried republican leaders in that body,
and to "stand pat" with the party's
matchIess leader, nose profound
stateman. patriot and humanitarian

A study Of seeds yields results OF
surprising interest, and conveys strik-
ing lessons. The main object In the
life OF the plant appears to be the pro-
duction Of seeds, and this again Is part
OF larger object, which Is the perpet-
uation OF the species. To accomplish
these results the seeds must be scat
tered, since with most plants only few
can grow in any one place. Nature has
adopted many peculiar and beautiful
devices for securing this object. SO nu-
merous are these contrivances. or spe-
clal forms OF adaptation, that only the
most common OF the local examples
can be mentioned. Weeds especially
are great travellers. Nature Is deter
mined that they shall not perish. They
are her makeshIft, John Burroughs de-
cares. to cover her nakedness, The soil
Is their storehouse; they lie, awaiting a
chance to terminate and grow. But
they are verltable tramps; they fly.
swim, steal a ride; go by highways. by
ways, and Soross lots. Consider the
