Mr. ilinlon and family arrived in Hepner t about 10 o'clock on the Sunday morning of the day ti e disaster took place and being tired, concluded to lay over there that day which wis very warm and sultry.

Immediately help was extended to those near the banks who were strugling to get out of the raging tloeds and willing hands helped many who were only waist deep to higher grounds. Mr Ilinton in his description of the raging torrents said, as th water came down the canyon it came in one vast roll, taking and burying everything be neath it and when ono uuder the madly seething waters it was seen no more. Apparency as soon as the rain ceased to come down the waters began to recede, and with out waiting, brave men on foot and horseback began the rescue of the dead. Those who were so fortunate as not to be in the path of the flood Mothers who had lost htt-Vards r.nd children, fathers w ho had lost wives and family, all mingled their grief together, and if man never wept before he wept then, even though during the weeping he wa3 working with all bis might and main. Many were the times Mr. Ilinton says he was a-ked by ladies the question, ' II ivo you heard anything about my little hoy or girl or iny husband? has bia body been recovered yet?" and similar questions. Mr. Ilinton cays the people of Hepner have not tha words to 'ex press their gratitude to those from abroad who so gencroufiy assisted thetuin way every during theirtime of disaster and t eed, and while that aid cannot give theiu back their loved ones, yet through their sorrow and bereavement! tbey are comforted wiih the knowledge that the ptople sympathize with them in this their hour of distress and bereavement, and tbey say, ''Our opened wide their doors to the sur- thanks cannot be uttdrcd in words vivors who hfcd lost their all and sufficient, but io.all will fay, Gcd cared for their wants.
