IN HEPPNER DEBRIS
To Prevent Deaths From This Cause Also Immedi
ate Action Toward Sanitation Is Vitally
Necessary.
J. 1L Teal, Member of the Portland Relief Com
mittee, Has Returned From the Stricken
City With Information.
J. X. Teal, one of the special commit- , f Ileppner la swept as &re us a floor.
tM Kent by thr Ileppner general relief , 'I'''1' Ileppner people have always been

of the recent flood disaster and report 'nA are tmS?- but !nl? will not replace
just what was needed. has rfturned to
this city and declare, one of the great
est danger which now menaces the
stricken district to Oi disease, bred
' through putrefaction and stagnation. To
relieve the situation Immediate sanitary
measures are necessary. Mr. Teal said:
"The conditions existing at Ileppner
and vicinity have In no way been exag-:-
gerated by the reports received from
' there. Indeed, It la my tx!lef that It will
be several days before the poeple on the
ground realise the extent and effect of
thle disaster. To one who has been
there. It Is a matter of amazement that
under the condition, the local commit
tee did as effective work as was done.
To appreciate-the conditions which con
fronted them, one would have to imagine
one quarter of the City of Portland
swept away In an hour, and that por
tion occupied mostly by residences and
full of people.
Mint Hare Belief.
"Thus far the aid that has been given
has been for temporary relief, but there
is much to be done In the future and it
will have to be systematically and care
fully .looked after. . From now on. aa
the excitement attending such a disaster
as this gradually dies. down, it will re
'qiUre a steady and consistent purpose to
effect the relief necessary, and our peo
ple here should understand now that
much, work remains to be done and
much more money will be needed. In
the first place, the cleaning up of the
-town and of 'the ranches between llepp- I
ner and .Lexington, of the filth and
debris that has been spread all about,
will take time, and for sanitary reasons
will have to be done, otherwise the fa
talities following the flood will approxl
mate'thoae occurlng at that time. It lt
this work that Is now In progress. Jt
must, of course, be remembered that
Heppner had no sewerage system; that
wells, cesspools and like places are open
and unless looked after will certainly
breed- disease. Cellars are full . of
water, and the mass of debris scattered
it about, not to apeak of bodies which
have not yet been found, and of which ; gup(j
mere are a conaiaeraoie numoer, win
houses, replace, destroyed furniture
household provisions and everything
tlml went to make a home or furnish a
menus of livelihood.
"The extent of -the' relief required la
problematical, but systematic efforts
are now on foot to ascertain to some
degree of certainty the amount that will
1 required. The relief committee of
Portland has responded nobly and their
work has been of the most effective
character. , There, was nothing that 1
could ask for In the Miape of relief but
what was nut only granted, but was.
pushed through.
The O. K. & N. Company did all in
Its power, and without It the committee
here would have had great difficulty In
getting the- relief In, and the officials of
the company on the ground did every
thing they could to aid In the work.
Other Towns Bid Welt
"The work of tue people from The
Dalles, Baker City, Walla Walla and Pen
dleton has been splendid. Indeed, thus far
the responses from nil sources are what
would be expected from the Northwest
people in the face of such a disaster.
Mrs. Mary K. .Britten of The Dalles, has
worked like a, heroine and has organised
a Woman' Relief Corps which is doing
splendid work.
Will Be BebnUt.
"In my opinion there Is no reason why
Ileppner should not be rebuilt on Its
present location, nor why it should not
be a thriving town In the future as well
as It was In the past, but certain things
will have to be done In order to bring
about this result. Engineers of the O.
R & N. Co. say that whut.Js necessary Is
to enlarge the creekbed right through
the city and throw up embankments of
a capacity sufficient to carry away a
Mood of water. There Is no technical or
physical objection in the way of doing
this, and as most of the houses along
the creek bank through the city have
been swept away. It can be done now at
less expense than ever again, as It Is
certain that there will be no residences
built for years to come along that creek
bottom, even though this plan be pur-

and expended for the benefit of the suf
ferers. But it was decided to collect
all the"funda that hare been subscribed
