THE MOUSING QREGONIAN. FBIDAT, 19, 1S93. SOURCE OF. GREAT RUIN (Continued from First Page.) ner cloudburst, dwellere In the country which 4t devastated are beginning to real ize the magnitude o the resultant ruin and more particularly the hopelessness of recovering all the dead. Although hun dreds of -willing hands have worked In the debris incessantly since Sunday, they liave handled but a wee percentage of the piled-up wreckage. The corpses of the drowned were strewn by the flood along the valley for a dis tance of 25 miles. A thousand men. equipped with tools and aided by horses, could not properly search the wreckage in a month. For the little band of volun teers to do It before the sun has turned tlje hidden bodies into festering carrion is out of the question. Those corpses which have not been discovered by tonight will never be recognized. Already the bodies of cattle, which He in the meadows, carry an unsweet announcement of their whereabouts to the passer-Ty. And human bodies are not exempt from nature. Neither will it be possible to identify the flood victims who may be found later, by their clothing, except In scattered In stances. Very few of the male dead. and none of the women, whom the water carried further than a mile, had a strip of clothing left on them. The strong cur rents of the torrent almost invariably cast the corpse stark 'naked Into some crevice of the wreckage. Bodies, Fonnd Ontwlde Ileppner. Today searching parties reported a total of 23 bodies found outside of Heppner. A gang of tracklayers found the corpse of a woman on the roadbed a mile and a half above here. The corpse has not yet been identified, but will reach the Hepp ner morgue early in the morning. 'As the searchers progressed through the valley, they buljd large bonfires upon the bodies of the drowned cattle encountered, and the nauseous odor of burning flesh added a minor horror to the scenes of desola tion. These Impromptu cremations will be carried on systematically by a party of men tomorrow. From all parts of America Inquiries are pouring In. Former residents of Heppner are asking about the safety of relatives or' friends, and today messages from Talla hassee, Fla,: Memphis. Tenn.; Galveston, Tex.; Toronto and Quebec, Canada; Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York and Augusta, Me., have been received at the little telegraph office here and forwarded to Heppner. Loafers Become HlBliTvnynicn. Owing to the rigorous enforcement of'an order issued by the citizens' of Heppner that every able-bodied man In the city must work, a horde of the drones who have Infested the town are now passing through Lexington, bound for other and more Idle districts. Possbily as another result of this order, the son of M. J. White, a Lexington liveryman, was held up on the road from Heppner last night. Young "White was confronted by three men, who attempted to climb into his buggy after he had etopped his horse in response to their de mands. He Immediately whipped up his horse and his assailants fell off. They fired three shots at White, but the lad was not Injured. Many bodies are being shipped away, and there are now standing on the depot platform nearly 20 coffins which have been brought in during the day for shipment. J, N. Teal, under whose direction the Portland relief fund and supplies are be ing distributed, arrived here late yester day afternoon. Upon investigating the situation, he found jthat 26 persons were destitute, and he made immediate ar rangements for their care- A list was made of those for whom help was needed, and a camplete outfit of "bedding tele graphed for. Clothing for each Indi vidual was also ordered, and a few hun dred dollars placed with the leading mer cantile firm to be used In procuring ade quate food supplies. Among the sufferers are a number of little children now being cared for by neighbors. Destitution In Valley. "I find considerable destitution In the valley outside of Heppner," said Mr. Teal, "but of course it Is overshadowed by the tragedy in the city. In Heppner the scenes of death and desolation are all close together. Not one ruined house Is seen at a time, but scores, and so the more scattered losses of the outside settle ments were partially overlooked by those who supplied the relief committees with Information and data, I believe that we have now arranged for the relief of every deserving victim of the flood. "In Heppner I left matters in charge of J. N. Davies, who has Instructions to keep a force of 100 men employed at day wages until further notice. This hired labor can bo used to better advantage than vol unteer work, because men can bo ordered to do this thing and that without Injur ing anybody's feelings. One thousand dollars a day is being expended by the organization of Heppner citizens In gen eral charge of the relief work, and this should alleviate all serious suffering from physical wants. The work is being con ducted in a business-like way, as we have arranged for the employment of a book keeper, timekeepers, and experienced fore men. "Another reason that the losses of life and property in the valley have not, ap parently, been duly insisted upon, is that there exists outside of Heppner no central organization or committee which has made a regular list of these things. As a consequence, we have heard no aggre gate estimates but only Instances of in- dhddual losses. Told one at a time, they are not impressive in the face of the wholesale figures obtainable at Heppner.' Mr. Teal will proceed to Portland at the first opportunity. TRAINS WILL RUN MONDAY. Bridges Repaired and Traclc Re storedBodies In Culverts. IONE, June 18. (Staff correspondence.) According to Superintendent O'Brien, the O. R. N. Co. will have a train Into Hcdd ner by noon on Saturday, and possibly by Friday night. On Monday the regular schedule will be resumed, but owing to the untested condition of the track, which will be strengthened at once, the trains will probably occupy about an hour longer than the regular time in-making the run from Heppner Junction to Heppner. The many small bridges between lone and Heppner. six or eight of which were washed out by the flood, have all been repaired. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the bridge crew finished the last bit of crib woric a couple of miles this side of Hcdd ner. There remains to be laid less than a mile and a half of track, and this can possibly he completed tomorrow. The roadbed, which was carefully Inspected DS w. lu Kennedy, chief englneor of the company, is said by him to be In very fair condition. "The track itself was washed away.' said Mr. Kennedy, "but this did not neces sarily damage the grades. If the flood had lasted for any length of time, things might .have been, more .serious." Under the direction of E. A. Klippel, superintendent of telegraph for the O. R. & N., and T. W. Gouldlng, district super intendent of the Western Union, telegraph wires have been brought within 1 miles of Heppner and will be completed tomor row morning. This will give a second wire into the city, end will relieve the congested condition of the telegraph serv ice immediately. W. A. Storle, general foreman of the bridge and building department, has been working a gang of 70 men ever since Sun day, and under the general direction of Superintendent O'Brien and his assistants, W. Ballons and M. J. Buckley, nearly 300 men have been engaged in repairs. The result talks for Itself. ' The bodies of four females, three adults, and one girl, were found In the various culverts by the bridge gings. As was the case with every other body recovered out side the city limits of Heppner, the water had stripped the corpses of every vestige of clothing. The bodies were loaded Into a "corpse wagon" and sent to Heppner for identification and burial. BLAZING HOUSE ENGULFED. Dramatic Incident of the Flood "Wit nessed by Snrvivor. IONE, June IS. (Staff correspondence.) Fred Hart, who was the telegraph op erator at Heppner during the flood, tells of as ghastly and spectacular a sight as was ever witnessed in any similar catas trophe. "I heard the roar of the coming flood," sild Mr. Hart, "and. looking up from the depot toward town, I saw the great wall of water in the distance. About the next thing I remember distinctly was pulling four children, who held each other's hands, through the rising water to the hillside a few hundred yards away. We reached this In safety, although the station agent and his wife were drowned. The water In advanco of the main body or wall con tinued to rise with great rapidity, and then the crest of the flood swept by be neath us. Upon Its top big residences danced, some upside down, others on their sides, and all revblving as they went. "On the top of one great wave a dwell ing tossed. Inside, it was all on Are. An oil can had evidently exploded, and flames were shooting forth from some of the win dows. At another a woman was scream ing in her mortal fear, so shrilly that her voice carried high above the tumult of the flood. Presently a wave leaped up against the dwelling's side, a great tree rose perpendicularly from the churning waters beside it. and then a whirlpool opened and the tree and blazing house sank beneath the flood. "Somehow, In the excitement of the mo ment, the spectacle did not greatly im press me with Its horror. But since my mind has partially digested the incidents of the flood. I feel that this was the weirdest of them all, and there were many." GIVES HIS COMRADE CREDIT. Leslie Matloclc Says Brnce Kelly Shared Perils of Wild Ride. HEPPNER, Or., June IS. (Staff Corre spondence.) Leslie Matlock said tonight that Bruce Kelly, who made the ride with him to lone Sunday night, did as much to notify the people below of the coming flood as he did himself. "I did not think of getting notoriety from the ride," said Mr. Matlock to night, "nor did Kelly either. Our sole thought was to save as many people from the flood as possible. He and I rode all the way together until we were within three miles .of lone. "Kelly and I were brought up in this country. We know its ranges and the bends In the river. We rode over the hills at first In order to get ahead of the water. But before we started I broke Into Gilliam & BIsbee's hardware store and got a pair of wire cutters." This act of Matlock's shows his fore thought at Its best. Without the cutters barbed wire fences would have stopped their rida. "We were afraid of the fences," said Mr. Matlock, "on account of the heavy electrical storm that was raging, but we got through safely. "At every farmhouse we came to we roused the inmates and shouted to them to flee to the hills. The horse I took at Heppner wrfe an inferior animal and gave out at Ralney s. below Lexington. It was the first horse I saw In Kirk's livery stable, and that s why I took it. At P.alney's I got a new horse, which took mo Into lone. There other messengers went ahead to spread the news." Mr. Matlock's horse plunged into a hole south of Lexington and threw him to the ground. He remounted with a badly Injured knee and pressed on. The ride was a breakneck race against the flood, The water pressed upon the two young men hard. GIVE UP THEIR CELEBRATION. Hillsboro Will Une the Money In stead for Flood SnfTerers. HILLSBORO.

A farmer from Clackamas County was in the city yesterday. He has a very large orchard of apple trees on his place which has not received so much care as Is be stowed on orchards planted of late years. The result was that he grew lots of moss on his trees and many wormy apples. He was consulting with the agents who have sold his apples for years In regard to the precautions to be taken to prevent worms In his fruit. He found that washes and sprays for destroying insects are going out and that spraying the trees with pow der Is In more general use. The powder is blown by a bellows, .from a nozzle so ar ranged that It puffs the powder up under the leaves and all over them, and It Is death to Insects. After the farmer had gone the agent remarked that he seemed to hax'e experienced a change. When a year or two ago he was advised to spray his trees to kill moss and Insects and so produce apples free from worms he re sented the advice. He said that If he wanted to raise moss on his, trees and have worms In his apples that was .his business. The agent replied that he ap neared to be falrlv In this business and to understand It as he was making a great I success and producing more worms to the box of apples- than any one else. Soon after he shipped a large lot of apples to the agent which were so full of worms that they were condemned and sent to the. garbage crematory and crcrnated. The farmer made a great roar, but It did him no- good. Now he lt evidently Inclined- to quit raising, wormy apples. Composer Welngrartner Weds. MUNICH Bavaria. June 28.

I The oft-repeated requests of the people of Suhnyslde for Are protection may bo granted and an engine Installed In that part of the city. The Are committee of the Executive Board at the meeting yes terday afternoon recommended that a branch of the department be placed in the building now used by the volunteer com pany at Belmont and East Thirty-Second streets. AH that Is needed to give perfect Are protection to Sunnyslde Is the purchase of a combination chemical and hose wagon, which style of auxiliary is greatly favored by Chief Campbell. The department now has on band an engine which Is not used and which Is practically new. The upper part of the building now occu- Photo by Tease. REMAINS OF A HORSE. pled must be rented from the owner, John P. Sharkey, and a few alterations made on the ground Aoor. Several more- paid Are men will be required. The combination 'chemical and hose wagon will cost; $2100 and could be in Portland within three months. The recommendation for the Sunnyslde engine company and apparatus was made by the Are committee, after a discussion of the growing residence portions of the city which are quite without Are protec tion. Not only will the Sunnyslde engine afford protection to the immediate neigh borhood, which Is of closely built homes, but in every direction the engine will have a downhill run to Ares some distance away. Whitney L. Bblse, who was pres ent, told of the need of Hawthorne's First Addition for a Are engine, but said that If an engine was placed at Sunnyslde it would cover the ground. The vicinity of East Twenty-Eighth street can also bo quickly reached from Sunnyslde, so the committee and Mayor Williams were unanimous In the recom mendation for an engine. E. D. Curtis, a member of the committee, was absent, but as he ls a resident of Sunnyslde, his ap proval of the recommendation was taken for granted. A communication was received from W. A. Walker, superintendent of the Are alarm telegraph system, to the effect that the Portland General Electric Company was about to begin the construction of new lines on East Water and East Washington streets. He recommended the reconstruc tion of the Are alarm lines on these streets and said that the wires should be placed upon the telephone poles. Raleigh and Savler streets are also to be the scenes of new construction by the electric company. SCHOOL DISTRICT ELECTIONS. Only One Consolidation Carries New Directors and Clerks. GRESHAM.

I sincerely believe tha In selecting the design made In this city, the committee cannot but meet the approval of our city and state. Mr. Schumann'e model has been exhibited and admired by all who had the opportunity to view It. It Is a marvel of art and Portland may well congratulate herself upon' having such talent In her midst. A great deal has been said about "patronizing home Indus tries" and I for one hope that same spirit will prevail In the ultimate decision of the monument committee. A monument to be erected In honor of Oregon soldiers. In the metropolis of the state, should preferably be made of the design executed and submitted by a citi zen of our city and state: and theveryfact that about one-half of ihe committee la In favor of Mr. Schumann's model shows conclusively that there ls a well grounded demand for such preference.
