the royal yachts, specially detailed by
King Edward, had a long conference with
Sir Charles Botham. the Admiral com
manding at Portsmouth, and Ixrd
Charles Beresford, commanding the
Channel squadron, regarding the details
of the reception. The heavy weather In

Salem has a very important citizen In
E. 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.
Mr. Hofer has an Idea that he can
change the climatic conditions of the val
ley so It will grow hardier berries. They
could then be shipped to the far East and
the association would be able to control
the market prices of the Northwest part
of the "United States, Including Cook Co.,

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

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

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

Heppner Times.
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.

A WASTE OF 10KY
IN FRUITLESS EFFORTS TO
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE
Not Artificial Digestion, hut Natural
Digestion, Is What Is Needed
How This May Be Obtained.
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,
