PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. Coon
tinuing with a destructive force,
winds, torrential rains, floods and
landslides today had exacted a pro-
perty damage toll from Oregon
which totals hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
The Pacific northwest was isolat-
ed from California with two South
ern Pacific railway lines to the
ed and wire communication with
southern Oregon entirely broken as
q result of the worst storm in south
ern Oregon and northern California
for 80 years.
Tunnel cave-ins, flooded tracks
and numerous rock and landslides
blocked the main line of the South
ern Pacific. The new Cascade line,
circling the worst of the storm area,
also was blocked.
Rail officials in Portland today
expressed hope that trains would
start operating again this morning;
that the southbound trains held here
could move southwark and that
stalled trains along the line could
complete their northern journeys.
This, however, was not promise.
It was merely hope, for the true
extent of the damage in southern
Oregon is unknown, and cannot be
ascertained until communication
with the southern section OF the
state is re-established.
Although southern Oregon ana
the Willamette valley were hi
hardest, reports of demoral1zea
traffic, highway washouts and
streams running at the flood stage
trickled into Portland from all see
tions of the state.
In Portland, rain continued fall
ring throughout the night and pros
poets for an immediate let-up were
dim. The general forecast for the
state is for rain today and tomor-
row, holding slight hope for a les
! sening of the flood menace. DoZ-
ems of streams have already over
/ flowed their banks and covered the
lowlands.
Today the Willamette stood at
flood stage throughout the valley
with the lowlands in the Eugene
area under water.
| In Portland the water was bank
full and was piling logs and other
drift against the bridge piers.
| Roseburg, West Springfield and
Medford were the worst hit, accord
ing to the meager reports, but so
| far there has been no word of loss
| of life or serious injury.
At West Springfield, near Eu-
gene, 20 houses were swept from
their foundations and inhabitants
were forced to climb to the roofs
of the floating dwellings to save
| themselves from drowning They
were rescued in rowboats and others
were removed from tree tops where
they had sought refuge as the water
! surged over the banks of the Will
lamette and poured onto the low
| lands.
MEDFORD HIT HARD
Damage in Medford, according to
! dispatches received via Salt Lake
| City, was estimated at $500, ,00o.'
Five blocks of the residential see
ion of the city are flooded and all
easements in the downtown area
are filled with water. ''-'

Topper and Stuffy To

Next Season

g President Clark Griffith con-

dropped Hollis Thurston, selling
him to the San Francisco Seals.
Now he has sent Topper Rigney
and Stuffy Stewart to the Bir-
mingham Barons. Who the next
one will be to feel the axe il
a question only the Old Fox can
answer.
Rigney was obtained early this
past season in a trade for Buddy
Myer. For a while he held his
own but soon Bob Reeves ousted
him and his days were numbered.
Stewart has been understudy
for Manager Harris for three
seasons. His speed made him
valuable in relieving slow run
ners. He asked to be sent to
Birmingham where he is popular
and will be able to play every
day.
