A
CITIZENS AFRAID . TO .
BUILD NEAR THE BANKS
vThe proposal haa been made by Port
land people that a part of the 111.000
left. from the Heppner flood relief, fund
of two years ago be given to assist the
people of that town to straighten the
channel of Willow creek. i,
It Is said that alnce the terrible flood
of June. 1001. : the people of Heppner
have been timid about building along
the banks of the creek, which In that
month carried down from the hilla the
tremendous quantltlea of water that al
most swept the village out of exist
ence. More than 100 persons .were
drowned, although at the time not more
than (00 people were living tnere. prop
erty to the value of more than (500,000
was deetroyed.
Portland raised a large sum Of money
for the .relief of the flood sufferers!
$16,000 remained which the relief com
mittee of Heppner -thought would not
be needed. Jt now transpires that th
futura of the town hanca largely on the
straightening of the channel of the creek.
Recently another freahet came aown tnt
stream. - but no damage was done. . It
Is thought that there la little- danger of
another life-destroying ' flood, but the
people are fearful of the locations along
the creek banks and wilt not . duuo
there. . "
. The tlMOO has remained In the pos
session of the committee In Portland,
excepting a email part donated to the
town of Mitchell, which was devastated
last year. " ' . ' -
Robert F. Hynd of. Heppner, a ware
house man, breeder of sheep and wheat-
grower en 1,000 acrea or lana in tnai
county, today said that he had heard
of the proposal to apply part of the
original Heppner relief fund to the ex
pense of Improving the creek so as to
prevent other floods. .
"It Is true." said he.-nhat the people
of Heppner are flmid about rebuilding
along the creek. It will be necessary
to straighten the channel of the creek
and deepen the banks before confidence
will be restored. . .
"I do not . know what the Heppner
people generally would think of the
proposition to devote part of the orig
inal relief fund to such a .use, but I do
not see why It should not be done.
"When one recalls the details of that
awful day In Heppner and remember
that-the little community was almost
annihilated.-he will in a measure realise
the terror of the people. Anything that
would relieve the feeling of apprehen
sion would be A wonderful boon for that
Dlace." --t : ...
Many prominent business men of
Henbaer, -whose homes were destroyed
by the flood, have not rebuilt, preferring
to live In rented house, it la aatd mat
along Willow creek few stracturea have
been erected to replace the dosens that
were wiped out. by the cloudburst '

PROMOTERS SAY SPACE

Wholesaler Reported Enthusiastic in

' Them Room in Thoroughly Modern
Business Block. - ' , ;
The first building te be commenced
by the Portland Warehouse company for
the etrlng of great wholesale blocks be
tween Ninth and West Park. Glleatt and
Burnstde, will be on block (f. which Is
bounded by Everett and Flanders en
the north and south. On this block the
fraine bulldlqe are lightest, and leea
dlfrtculty .will be experienced In be
ginning construction.
. . "Wa will commence actual construc
tion just aa soon aa prelimtnarlea are
snaped."-atd A.- " r. Bwensson this
morning.1 "I-hsve'Veeh Interviewing
the wholesale dealers whom such an en
terprise would appeal to strongest, and
And them anxioua to take specs. All
the space for the first structures haa
been applied for, and we will have no
difficulty tilling the buildings.
"Wa are taking up our options, and
payments aggregating $111,000 were
made on them yesterday, -when eight
lots were ' transferred. It . will prob
ably require six weeks to get the titles
perfected for the entire Ave blocks, aa
much work In thla respect Is to be
done." .... . . .. " ti.
Commencement of work on the first
of the great Z00-by-100 five-story bricks
will be an event of great lntereat to
the city. The promoters of the enter
prise believe that when one building
la up, and It value to the wholesale
trade la demonstrated, the - rush for
space In the others will be heavier than
for apace In the first building. No
doubt is felt that the saving In drayage
and cartage will be such an important
item that any wholesaler wHl be ready
to pay a higher rent than he may be
charged now, aa he may even then save
money each month. . j
