At lone the sea which had followed the channel of Willow Crdek was aug

the hills whereJVillow Creek heads. Twenty-five miles of rich .and prosperous
country, comparatively thickly settled, laid off into squares of wheatland, just
turning from green to gold and dotted with farm houses, is now a pathless, worth
ess, almiHt lifeless waste. T ' "

. LOCATION OF FLOODED TOWNS. ' .
flrppner, Lexiugtin and lone, the three towns that have bee", dnv-tstated
are all l.i Morrow county, Hepner beinij the capital. Heppner had a population of
1800 beinir the dounty seat and is located at the terminus of a branch of the O. t.
&N Kailway, which leaves the ratin line at Willqws to run 40 miles up Willow
Creek to Heppner.' Lexing'on is a village of 400 people and is located within ten
miles of Heppner on the branch road . . (s r
Allthree towns ireinthe valley of Willow Greek', ,' which comes out of the
Blue Mountains, flowing north to a point of conjunction with the Columbia river,
Willow Greek descends a steep grade, bat ordinarily carries but a small volume of
water. Heppner is located in a canyon, the walls iof which rise up on either side
to a height oi uu leet, while the town is
a prosperous place with stock raUing as b leading industry.
Directly in the pathway of the volume of water that came rushing down is tlTe
First National Bank which carries a million dollar deposit, a criterion of the
prosperity of the place. There are numerous churches land alohe'the banks ef the
creek are the reHhiencHB of the leading
the leading citizen, or rather were the residences of the leading citisens. for they
arenow'swept away and ere this are floating down the broad bosom of the m'ghty
Calumbia. . . 't . . ' ,. ,
As soon a the news of the flood reached Lexington the residents of that town
fled to the hills and most of them escaped. '
When the full story of this floid is told, If it eve can be brought from the
chaos which followed in its wake, there will be incidents ol he.oistn recorded of
deeds never before equalled iu the annals of history. Husbands and fathers strove
to save their families; wives and mothers sacrificed themselves to bring the possi
bility of helps single inch nearer to those they loved. It was a carnival of heroism
and death.'
No tongue can describe, no words portray the nff-rlne that was crowded Into
those few brief minutes while Heppner and its people were at the bottom of a
transient lake. Some managed to cling to trees, bouses or floating planks until
washed aehore or until dragged to land by those more fortunate who had lived
near the margin of the city and been enabled to scramble up the steep bluffs to
places of safety at the first alarm. Every living soul was engaged In the work of
rescue. -ut beyond following along tW path left by .the flood and Succoring those
found stranded in iv wake little could be done. ..
HELP FOR FLOOD SUFFKbIrS,
In almost every city in Oregon of any importance as well as la cities in many
other states, subscription papers have been started which have been liberally sub
scribed to. In Portland more thoa 18000 has been subscribed by generous citl
sens. Oregon City is doing her part. A subscription paper has been circulated,
or is rather being circulated, and Is being liberally subscribed to.
Tuesday morniBg after the flood It was urged by a number of the leading oltU
sens and a majority of the committee on the Fourth of July celebration committee
that the funds that had been subscribed for a Fourth of July celebration be seat to
the flood victims at Heppner. As more thin $700 had been subscribed this
would have meant a quite a liberal donaion for Oregon City. Many who bad given
liberally to the fund for the Fourth celebration declared their willingness to
double their subscription if the money should be used for the flood victims.
Some members ot the committee, however, objected, declarlag that it could
not be done, that the money had been subscribed ior a certain purpose and must
be used for that purpose. They further declared that the posters had already been
sent 6ut, bands of music had beea engaged and fireworks contracted for that it
woald be Impossible to call off the celebration at this late dav. While thie u.
