Portland, Apc.. May with busi-
ness and industries practically at n
standstill along the valleys OF half
q dozen of the rivers in central, east
ern and northern Maine, estimates
of the ultimate monetary loss from
the freshets started by the week.
end downpour continued to increase
today into the millions. ranging from
s3.000.O0 upwards.
The floods let loose were described
in some sections as worse than those
of March 2. 1898, while in Aroostook
County the situation was reported as
more serious than during the record
breaking freshet So years ago. The
greatest losses will be sustained by
municipalities, industries and in
dividuals. tens of thousands being
thrown out OF work for several days.
The railroad situation showed i'm
provement in spots. and was not NO
good at other points, Maine Central
railroad officials stated. Trains were
being run between Portland and
Bangor. via Lewiston, and from
ToTtland 10 Augusta. none was run
ming 10 Pennington.
East OF Bangor. on the main limo
to the Maritime Provinces there will
be no trains for ut least two days
more. Service IL suspended In
Washington County and from Bangor
to Mt. Desert Ferry.
On the mountain division, It was
expected trains would run through
to St Johnsbury, VI. sometime to-
day. The Quebec line is under two
feet of water from the Connecticut
river at Beccher's Falls, and II will
be some time before services is re-
sumed there.
Detailed reports from IL cities and
towns in the State received late last

of at least a s3.0s0,000 loss. These

day, and surprising by two feet any
previous record.
Twice a day the Easements of

The railroad situation tonight re-
mains unchanged. although at some
points along the Bangor and Aroos-
took the water has fallen slightly,
and it is hoped to restore train SER
vice'to Houlton by Wednesday night.
Since last Saturday no north bound
trains have been run beyond Sher-
man StauOn, nor any SoutnDOund
trains further than Oakfield.
The most serious aspect of the
situation in Bangor is the lack OF
fire pressure at the MIGRANTS. tho

sole dependence since the water

the situation improves. An attempt
is being made tonight to fill the
standpipc. which has been empty fol
some days.
Many reports have been received OF
logs being carried away up river
but thus far few logs and very little
wreckage has passed Bangor. There
Is no truth in the report that the
gates of Ripogenus dam on the West
Branch have been opened. All water
on that branch is being held.

Highway Bridge Out

Against Mad Rush

Nanccboro. Ne. May 1.-The Maine
Central Railroad bridge over the Baska-
hogan river at Danforth was still. hold
ing carly today. Although the river
was rising. it was thought the bridge
might withstand the strain.
No trains were moving between here
and Mattawamkeag on the main line
to the Maritime Provinces, because of
some quite bad washouts. and none is
expected for at least two days.
Bad washouts between Fredericton
Junction and st. John will prevent
train movements to- the east for a
couple of days. Woodstock, y. t., on
the st. stephens branch of the Cana
dian Pacific. has extensive washouts so
that it will be several days before traf-
iic lis resumed there.
The highway bridge at Danforth went
out at midnight and one or two houses
were washed away. The river rose
two inches during the night. The rail-
road bridge there was still in place
shortly before noon.
At PasSadumkeag the town was I'M
der a foot of wafer today and people
were forced to move from their homes
1t was expected that Montague dam
would go out. Olamon was under four
feet of water.
