It is stated authnritively that
three ghouls found robbing thej
dead at Heppnor were shut down
by the cit'iiem and burieil as
though they were found among
the drowned. The matter was
then hushed up and never reached
the ears of the press represent
atives working in lieppner. Such
punishment is perfectly justifiable.
One of the ghouls was found cut
ting off fingers from a woman's
hand, it lieing the quickest way to
net the coveted rings. This report
contradicts the one published to
the effect that no such acts were
committed in Hilipner. It seems
that every community sheltere
scaneiroals who cannot resist the
temptation of robliery, even when
accompanied by such pitiable con
ditions as exists in the stricken
town of lieppner.
The estimated losses aggregate
nearly half a million dollars and
the .sufferers for the most part are
poor people, who have lost all
their worldlv possessions, lliis
makes the conditions appalling,
and no effort can be made tu re
lieve them, that will lie too great.
Where suffering humanity is the
object of charity let the good work
goon. Reports from the stricken
locality tells of conditions that
will make outside aid almost a
necessity fur weeks to come. The
money is being handled and dis
tributed judiciously by honest
committees and no one makes a
mistake in digging down in their
iinfliel and ffivine lilierallv. The
wav our city has contributed can
not help but be a source of pride
to our local citizens. Iheir liber-
nlitv bus cementel a bond of
friendship between I'rineville and
lieppner that will stand the test of
time.

Referring to the recent disaster
at Henpner. Oregon, and various
theories as to its cause, it would
be well to discuss, in a brief way,
the origin of storms of such a de
structive character as has been
chronicled. In tracing the history
of cloudbursts, it will lie found
that they occur after unusual hot
weather, and in the months of July
and August in the northern hemis
phere. " -
The atmosphere is a combina
tion of oxveen and nitrogen, with
a small amount of carbon dioxidi;
such a small combination is called
l dry air. The vapor part varies
from a very small amount to about
5 per cent of the above mass of dry
air.
The action of the sun on the at
mosphere is the primary cause of
all disturbances, whether wind,
rain or snow. The air is heated in
two ways, by direct rays of the
sun and by radiation. It is heat
ed in other ways, but the heat de
rived from the sun is the element
with which we have to deal at this
time. The air being heated to an .
unusual high temperature, rises,
and when reaching a high altitude
comes in contact with colder bodies
of air and the vapor condenses,
forming clouds. The rapidity o!
this formation depends upon the
temperature of the air, if unusual
ly high, the condensation will oc
cur more rapidly, ana uie uisiuro-
ance will be more severe. Various
theories are advanced as to what a
cloudburst is. It is believed that
the best and most easily under
stood explanation or comparison
is to liken the atmosphere to a
sponge, if it is full of moisture and
is pressed slightly, drops of water
will come from it, and if pressed
abruptly will come all at once.
The cloud does not burst, it be
comes overcharged with rain, and
on level plains may come down
gradually as rain; but when sud
denly disturbed," as sinking
mountain, or when low, striking a
high hill, will be precipitated in
great quantities. In Waldo's me
teorology a cloudburst is denned as
a "sudden and excessivs downpour
of rain or rain and hail, which have
been carried upward or merely sus
tained and kept from falling by
ascending air currents, until a large
amount has been accumulated aloft,
when, by some weakening or break
ing up of the ascending currents,
the whole or part of the accumul
ation suddenly falls to the ground.
Cloudbursts are of most frequent
occurrence in connection with tor
nadoes, where the immense velocity
of the ascending current is favorable
to the collection and support of
great masses of water."., . ,
General Greely m "American
Weather" compares them to the
water spout, as the conditions are
similar. The theory that in water
snouts the water is taken . into the
clouds is erronous, as the opposite
is the case. The watercomee down.
In the majority of cases, cloud
bursts have occured west of. the
Mississippi river and principally
in the mountainous regions.
In looking over the history of
cloudbursts and comparing the
number of lives lost, the one at
lieppner seems to be the worst,
considering the number of lives
lost. The flood at Johnstown, Pa.,
in 1SS9, was caused, by the heavy
rains breaking a 'dam' alwve thu
town. Had the dam remained in
tact the flood might not have oc
cured. W. C. McGi innkss.
