FRESHET TAKES OUT
HOOD RIVER BRIDGE

History repeats itself. Almost to
the day two years after it was washed
out in 1915 the Hood river, on a:boom
caused by 50 hours of continued rain
fall, carried away portion of the
west approach of the steel bridge
across the river at the foot of State
street. The washout occurred about
nine o'clock Monday night, Jack. Bag
ley, agent for the Peoples Navigation
Co., having just crossed the structure
before the trestlework was UNDER
mined.
1t is now necessary for one wishing
to take freight from the city to a river
boat landing to make IL mile trip
around the loop by way of fuckers
bridge. East Side Christmas shoppers
visiting the city will have to come by
way of the Odell district.
The high water caused the lower
river plant of the Pacific Power &
Light Co. to rshut down at seven
O'Clock Monday evening. The pipeline
has been badly damaged blythe food.
With the old Hydro Electric lplant :at
fuckers Bridge unable to carry any
load, Hood River, during the high
water, has been receiving electrical
energy from the White river plant in
Wasco county. The lights were out
for nearly anlhour Monday night, caus-
ing considerable inconvenience at the
Commercial club and Electric theatre.
Since the storm began last Thursday
more than seven inches of precipitation
have prevailed here, and it is said that
the rainstorm has been heavier back in
the mountains. The Hood river, at a
record high mark, began yesterday to
undermine the south pier Of the Mount
Hood railroad fridge just this side of
Powerdale, rendering the structure un-
safe for passage of locomotives.
Crews of men were busy throughout
yesterday removing drift from the west
pier holding the end Of the wagon
bridge across Hood river. As soon as
the water subsidies the county will be-
gin immediate work to replace the
trestle spans swept away Monday
night.
The 0.-W. R. & N. Co. is permitting
pedestrians wishing to take the White
Salmon ferry or river boats to cross
their bridge.

TEAMS WORK
DESPITE RAIN
SCOTT REPORTS 500 new MEMBERS
Official Cars Loaded with Solicitors Speed
Through the Mud-Mayor Dum-
Bile Issues Proclamation

The unprecedented rainstorm that has
swept the Hood River valley all the
week, although it has retarded the
work Of securing new members for
the Red Cross, has failed in the least
to dampen the ardor of the Christmas
membership campaign teams. and yes
terday Manager Scott reported 500 new
members. Through mud and with driv-
ing transforms beating against their
wind shields, official cars have been
blowing through the valley, and Red
Cross service flags are hanging in the
homes of many. These flags will be
substituted this year for the Christmas
candle.
This is the week of the big Christ
mas drive for members Of the Red
Gross. AS to the purposes of the
Red Cross, enough has been publish
ed so that there is no doubt as to the
need there is for the money derived
from memberships. Several classes
of membership can be subscribed for,
but at this time the plain, ordinary
81 membership is what is wanted.
The memberships run through the
calendar year of 1918. Those having
taken memberships at any time dur.
ing 1917 have the right to consider
them as good until one year from the
date Of application, but it is hoped
that most of these will waive the un.
expired portion and put themselves
ON record as 1918 members. AS to
the division of funds received in the
campaign, the distribution is as fol.
lows.

.TYPHUs AT DIES MONIES
Mexican Railroad Laborer Dies OF
Dreaded Disease in Bunk Car in
Rock Island Yards - Precautions
Taken to Prevent Spread.

Des Moines, Feb. 24.---Sontag Salalo
who was found in the last stages OF
typhus by City Physician Fl. L. Sayler
died in his dirty bunk yesterday eve-
ming after being under quarantine FOL
only twenty-four hours.
Where Salalo, who was a Mexican
contracted the deadly typhus germ is
a mystery to the city health authori-
ties. 1t is the first case Of typhus in
the history Of the city.
Typhus Is common in the tropics
and epidemics of the disease are some
times carried>farther north by persons
infected. 1t was this disease which
devasted the ranks of the troops in
Serbia during the early days OF the
war.
Dr. Sayler took every precaution u
prevent the spread of the disease In
Des Moines. Two other Mexicans
were still in the car with Salaao yes
terday and the city health officers Win
watch them closely until all danger Is
passed. The disease is spread by the
bite of a species Of louise.
IF I had gone to the bunk car at
night instead of in the daytime ! might
have contracted the disease myself,
DR.. Sayler said yesterday evening. Il
had never seen n typhus victim before
and the other men in the car said he
had typhoid fever At night ] might
have become infected before I knew
Salalo had typhus.'
Until few days ago Salalo was en-
ployed by the Rock Island railway. DR..
Sayler declared yesterday that he will
call the attention of Rock Island Off
Gals to the fact that a city ordinance
provides fine Of 800 a day for oper-
ating bunk cars inside the city limits.
The car in which Salalo died was at
East Fifth and Vine streets.

exact lineup on the highway commits
sion, but it is considered a fairly good
indication. Shortess Of Tama was not
present yesterday and he is with the
highway commission crowd Starzinger
OF Polk did not vote on the Howley
measure. He is usually linei up with
the Pitt-Johnston crowd
To Hear From Home.
1t is being predicted that Il number
of the representatives who are now
training with the Pitt-Johnson crowd
on the highway commission issue will
see the light after visiting with their
constituents during the recess so that
friends of the highway commission ex-
pect a still larger lineup in favor of the
commission by the time the legislature
reconvenes.
1t is generally considered here that
the strength of the Pitt-Johnston fac
ton has waned ever since the an
nouncement by Speaker Pitt of his COM
mittee appointments. The bitterness
engendered then together with the gen.
eral unpopularity of the Pitt johnson
road bill as drawn up by that faction,
and the other policies Of legislation
which the faction has stood for. have
worked to widen the gap between the
prOgressives and the reactionaries in
the house so that the anti highway
commission representatives are now
considered to be farther from the ac-
Compishment of their legislation than
they were at the opening of the ses-
sion.
The fact that the votes for Cover
nor Harding last fall were not anti
highway commission votes by any
means has come TO be appreciated by
many legislators. As 4 matter of fact
Harding received 4 big vote in many Of
the districts and counties which elect
ed legislators friendly to the state high
way commission. Hence an interpre-
Iation of the Harding vote of last fall
as an highway commission vote is
recognized now as an erroneous inter
probation. Opponents Of the highway
commission law declared as soon as it
was learned that Speaker Pitt had
won the speakership that the highway
commission would be abolished. The
prediction is now looked upon as false
one in the light of the trend OF legisla-
ton since the Legislature opened.

IT WORKS WELL

A superlative blood purifying medi-
cine like Hoods Sarsaparilla, taken
before meals, combined with a super

ken after meals--,nakes the ideal
course of Spring Medicine.
No other medicines possess such cur
alive properties as these two great re-

They reach the impure! impoverish-
