A CITY OF DEATH.
Qrlm Days of Sorrow In Heppner Death
Roll Is 300.
Heppner, June 17, via. Lexington.
Houses crushed and telesconed be
yond recognition, buildlncs twisted
from their foundations, deposited In
streets or on alien property, one-
fourth, or one-half, or one mile awav:
household goods strewn in every di
rection in reeking mud; trees two
feet In diameter uprooted and woven
In Impelled drift into all kinds of
awful fantastic shapes, bodies of men
and horses and cattle and nlsra all
cast In lndlacrimlnute ruin such Is
Heppner of today.
All persons say that the crest of
the flood was upon the town within
three or our minutes after the dan
ger was perceived. Most of the people
were In their houses. The day being
Sunday, the hour being dinner time,
and a heavy rain falling, all
caused them to pen themselves with
in doors. Most of the dwellings were
near the bank of the stream. The
people were therefore caught like rats
In a trap, and so sudden was the
warnlntt- that mmn.rfitlv.lv fan,
could reach places of safety. The
wooie row oi nouses next the creek
Was SWeDt awav. Knsrtatnrj r.f lh.
calamity describe the structures as
falling like card houses. The dwellings
were tossed about like bobbins, and
most or tnem rell completely to
pieces. The town had perhaps over
2fft ttnllaa nuurlv f00 rt O.I.I..K n,
demolished. Tbe whole business part
or town would nave been swept away
had not the Palace hotel, a heavy
brick structure, diverted the current
Houses on brick foundations fared
better than others because the flood
could not so easily wash under them.
Identification of the dead has been
easy.
Most of the bodies show the effects
of drowning rather than of vital In
jury, though all or them are more or
less bruised. Only a few of those
who escaped the flood were severely
injured.
An army of men and horses Is sift

there are men who ih. n.t. i

to Roberta' hall rn ha n ,t

coarse wntie ciotn, and to be laid In
rough wood boxes. There is no time
ror ceremony. It's the grim reality
of death. And women who would
raint at scenes one-thousandth part as
awrul obey the mandate or necessity
without a flinch. The floor swims
with the half diluted mud that drips
rrom the victims, but the living pat

It gets too deep. The rough boxes go
to the cemeteries, not singly in
hearses, but many at a time, piled
high In wagons.

BIG LAND FRAUD
NEWELL UNEARTHS BIO SCHEME IN
THE WEST.
People Are Being Located on Tracts
That Are to Be Irrigated -Inside In
formation la Sold Chief Hydrography
cr Says It Cannot Be, for Govern
ment Does Nat Know.
Washington, June 24. Hydrograph
er Newell, of tbe geological survey,
who has just returned from an extend
ed tour of the West, reports the discov
ery of a new and successful confidence
game that has grown up under tbe na
tional irrigation law, and which is be
ing worked in Eastern Oregon. Speak
ing of his discovery Mr. Newell said:
"I was very much disheartened
while in the West to find that associa
tions for a consideration ranging from
$50 to $100 are advertising, by circu
lars and otherwise, to direct homeseek-
ers to vacant public land, which they
allege is to be reclaimed by the nation
al gove-nment. Theee associations
make tne showing tbaat they are
lormed to represent bomeseekers, and
propose to give them inside informa
tion. They have no inside informa
tion. They do not know what lands
tbe government intends to irrigate, for
no one knows, not even the depart
ment. They are simply defrauding tbe
people.
"They are Bending people onto lands
that will never be irrigated, either by
the government rr private enterprise.
and I know of instances where these
associations have sent people on to lands
on hillsides, which could not possibly
be irrigated.
"I want to stamp theee associations
as frauds and to warn all bomeseekers
to avoid them. One of these companies
bas headquarters at Omaha, and an
other at Pendleton, Or., but their oper
ations extecd over tbe entire arid
West, and tbey are pretending to give
inside information concerning arid
lands in every state."
WILL REBUILD AT ONCE.
Leading Citizens Announce Plana Funds
Needed for Cleaning Up.
Heppner, Jnne 24. Standing on the
streets and gaxing over towards tbe
hills, one can see dozens of tents, where
the destitute and homeless have found
qniet and rest. Banker C. A. Rbea
expressed bis intention of bnilding sev
ral residences just as soon as building
material can be brought in. J. L,
Natter and Borcbers expect to bnild
brick business houses on the east side
of Main street.
Already the people are thinking and
talking ot rebuilding on a better and
more substantial plan. W. O. Minor
will rebuild bis dwelling on his stock
farm one mile away on Willow creek,
but will not rebuild his town residence
nntil later. Both houses were swept
away.
Mayor Gilliam and the executive re
lief committee decided to renew tbe ap
peal for additional for additional foods
from Portland and the Northwest coun
try. Tbe total payroll is now $1,620
daily, with a large portion of the $20,
000 that has been contributed already
paid out. Tbe total loss of property
will not be lses than $350,000 npon a
conservative laaie.
DREDGE ABOUT READY FOR WORK.

Washington, June 24. From ad
vices received by the chief of engineers
