Hofer, who, besides being an editor of the Dally Journal, published here, is also president of the Salem Fruit Growers' Union, composed of the strawberry grow ers of this vicinity. Mr. Hofer has pub llshed a book on strawberry culture In the Northwest. When The Packer man called on Mr. Hofer In the capacity of president of the Berry Growers' Union, this gentle man informed him that he never gave out any Information nor told any one -what the union was doing -or of Its plans. It any one -wanted any Information and was. willing; to pay for It he could Touy his book.

Returning last evening about 5 o'clock, the two young men stepped Into an old skiff to cross the river at a point where It is about 200 feet wide and 12 feet deep, with no current. When about half way across, the boat swamped and both men. Jumped overboard. Prescott swam ashore and then, seeing Cassell struggling In the water, went back to assist him, but Cas sell could not swim, and In his battle for life came near drowning Prescott, who was finally compelled to leave his com panion to his fate. Prescott succeeded in reaching shore, but was. exhausted that, after calling to people living near by for assistance, he fainted. Caasell's body was recovered about two hours later and brought to this city this morn ing. The news of the drowning was received here with universal expressions of regret, as Cassell was a young man of most ex emplary habits, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was born at Colwell, Kan., on August 19, i879, and when quite young came to OregonTtith his parents, who- for a number of years resided in Albany and then moved to As toria, where he grew to manhood. After graduating at the Astoria High School, he accepted a position with the First Na tional Bank of this city, continuing with It up to the time of his death, as a faith ful .and trusted employe.

The people are still too excited- to talk of tho flood, and It Is with difficulty complete list of dead and Injured can be secured. It Is believed that more bodies went down in the flood, but the rumors are so numerous that they cannot all be run down. Several persons are reported as missing from their homes along the stream, and many anxious parents, almost frantic with fear, traversed the streets all day searching for their lost children Jinny Acts of Bravery. Stories of thrilling rescues are heard on all sides, and many acts of bravery are reported, -the heroes being persons who risked their lives to save others. One man whose name could not be learned was seen by several persons to make a hard effort to rescue a woman, presumably his wife, shortly after the flood hit the wait ing-room. The man was apparently safe among some saplings. In his struggle to get to fjie woman he lost his hold -and both were swept away with the current and probably lost A rescuing party was organized by Dr. M. F. Freshwater and Joseph Hoffman Immediately after the wall of water had passed. Dr. Freshwater states this morn Ling that they had rescued fully 350 per sons who had been thrown Into the water by their houses being overturned. Many houses were een by them floating down the stream upsMe down, sideways and in every possible manner. , Mrs. Schrader, one of the victims, was asleep In her home at the time the flood started. When Mrs. Schrader awoke she tried to get out of her home. As she opened the front door In view of a score of peoplo who were watching, the water rushed In and .the Imprisoned woman, old as she was, saw her peril, rushed to the second floor of her house. Then her house was swept from Its foundation and taken down with the swirling current When the house was floating In mid stream, nearly opposite the Pennsylvania station, persons who were watching the floating residence saw the shingles from the roof suddenly fly oft. With a piece of board the frenzied woman, with death staring her in the face, was trying to get out through the roof in tho hope of es caping. Her strength failed her, how ever, and, with uplifted hands and in all probability a prayer on her lips, .Mrs. Schrader went to her watery grave. Shortl after the house was broken up by othere hitting It the body of the drowned woman was seen to float out into the stream, but despite all efforts to reach her, she went down with the debris of the many houses. Houses Carried 'Along as Chips. Four of the members of the family of William Nlgga, a Polish coal miner, were drowned in the flood. At the time of the flood the father was visiting a neighbor. He attempted to reach his home to rescue his family, but failed. The house was swept down the stream nt a swift rate. As tire house was rushing on It was struck by heavy timbers, and the occupants, seven In number, were hurled Into the water. Three of Nlgga's children were rescued, but Mrs. Nlgga, with Polly, aged 7; Josephine, aged 9, and the baby, Frank, aged 2, were drowned. Their bodies have not been found. Midway between the Pennsylvania Rail way station and the Pennsylvania culvert, along the Brush Creek bank, stood the houso of Frederick Dieckheman, a two story frame structure. The family bare ly escaped to the garret Here they tried to save some people who floated by them, but all their efforts went for naught. For tunately this house withheld the force of the current and all the members of the household were saved. Lying down in the debris at the Pennsyl vania culvert Is the body of James West wood, 33 years of agea bartender, who worked at the Weunle Hotel. Jeannette. When the water Inundated the cellar of the Westwood house, the father went Into the house, and he has not been seen since. The body of George Wlghtman, who was killed by lightning, was today fished out of the water by his companions. Almost together with the dam In Oakford Park, the Fort Pitt dam, north of this place, gave way, carrying wide destruction along the Valley of Bull Creek, which empties Into the larger stream of Brush Creek In the lower part of Jeannette. The Fort Pitt dam serves to supply the Fort Pitt glassworks at that wolnt. It was rebuilt, about eight years ago, when ltwns fcorn ddyro in the same manner as yesterday. Quite a- crowd of people still llrger at the Pennsylvania station culvert, which, is blocked with debris, under which .It Is ex pected the bodies of six unfortunates will be found. All Is In readiness for the search for the bodies, "but It is believed that nothing can be accomplished without the aid of dynamite, as the houses, stables and outhouses and other debris are wedged In so tightly by the culvert that human effort .toward dislodging it will prove of no avail. "Scores of anxious relatives and curious crowds came In today from all directions. Everything possible Is being done to re lieve the distress and suffering caused by the flood. As far as could be learned, with the ex ception of the bodies recovered at the Pennsylvania station, the casualties were confined to those who were In the crowd at the Ill-fated park, and It Is expected that bodies of the missing, if there are any, will be found In the wreck made at the railroad culvert Many Bridges Gone. LATROBE, Pa., July 6. Yesterday's cloudburst washed away the Whitney, Lloydsvllle and several other bridges. The village of Dorothy was flooded to the sec ond story.

Although the scenes In Heppner the past ten days have been harrowing and path etic in the extreme every man but one, and every woman have done their whole duty In hunting, caring for and burying the dead and at the same time endeav oring to clean up the city, provide for the destitute and suffering and bring or der out of chaos. They have been nobly assisted by nearly all the good people of Morrow County who left their business, their farm work to assist us during the hours and days of distress. Not only has Morrow County people, but citizens from all Eastern Oregon towns have rendered noble assistance in way of labor and funds. Portland has also done her full share In way of labor, and all Oregon and adjoining states have contributed liberally In money. Heppner apprecaltes all this kindness and will ever feel grateful for the assistance. Some sensational mat ter, not news, to the effect that many of the prominent people will leave Heppner and seek new homes, leaving the town to go to decay, is wholly untrue as no man or woman of Influence has even thought of abandoning the town, but on the other hand the town will be rebuilt better tfian ever.

More money Is spent In experimenting; with worthless medicines for stomach trouble than for any other disease. These preparations may temporarily aid digestion, but they cannot cure In digestion. They go at It the wrong way. To permanently cure indigestion, dys pepsia or other stomach trouble, the medicine should act upon the -digestive organs themselves, not upon their con tents. It should not do the stomach's work, but should make the stomach able to do Its own work. This Is what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People will do as no other medicine can. They are not composed of digestive ferments, which promote an artificial digestion, but they tone up the stomach, restore the weakened functions of the digestive organsand thereby promote natural digestion. A case In point Is that of Arthur Mc Laughlin, or No. 272S North Lincoln street. Chicago. 111. He says: "For a long time I was troubled with severe pains In the stomach a case of chronic indigestion. I would feel a craving for food, but when I ate I ex perienced those wretched pains, which nearly drove me distracted. My kid neys also became affected. I tried sev eral different stomach medicines, and for a while they seemed to help me. Then the same old pains would come back. This went on for nearly two years, and at times I was pretty much discouraged. "One day a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple. I did so. Before I finished a box the pains were less frequent and less severe, and by the time I had finished three boxes the pains were a thing of the past. Now I eat anything and enjoy It, and I feel like a new man." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple will not only cure stomach trouble, but are a positive cure for all diseases arising from impoverished blood or shattered nerves. They are sold by all dealers or will be sent post paid on re ceipt of price, fifty cents a box or six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.
