In Morrow county,
I Marking the sinuous eourae of Wll

stretch of desolation extending on

a mile and a half In width
Where the little valley narrowa. tin
; farma and orchards have been literally
.' obliterated. The titanic force of the
flood spared nothing. With the crop
v went even the soil to a considerable
depth. The entire landscape has been
metamorphosed. This stretch of coun-
',. try Is now covered with Trees, rocks,
portions of what were once homes,
arming Implements, articles of furnit
ure nd a thousand other things.
Along the line of the O. R. ft N. rall-
"ray article of clotnlngnnore that "of
4 women than of men, are to be seen,

' At Jordan's Elding, about half way
between lone and Lexington, the scene
of desolation commences and continues,

still intact. Thla bouse, hurled against
one end of the bridge, destroyed the

wrecked. Then the water, rising to
overtop the obstructions found at this
point, swept the roof of the house
across the swollen river and deposited
It on the nearest span at the opposite
shore. - - -
Between Lexington and Heppner the

there ia a wash-out of about 20 feet.
