Homesick for the Willamette and Its Green Fields. A. SI. Dalrymple, the traveling rep resentative of tho Pacific Homestead of Salem, was a visitor in the city to day and lias gone to Hcppner, whore lie will represent the Salem States man in the field there. Mr. Dalrymple has been over the Echo country on a bicycle and has had a hard trip through the sand and sun. He sighs for the fields and flow ers and grass of the valley, and longs for the comforting shade of the trees. He says that as soon as an all wise providence and tho business of his house will allow, ho will mako some of the longest and tallest strides for the home of his childhood that mor tal man over made. Ho is homesick for his wife and the babies and tho green fields far away, where man may dream the hours away In neacoiul content, undisturbed by tho hum of untiring industry, the wash of the deluge and tho whirl of the sand. He is going homo If ho has to walk. RETURNED FROM ALBERTA. It Is a Great Country, But Has No Edge on Oregon. W. H. Hawley has returned from a trip to the Alberta, Canada, country, where he has been for the past two weens on a business trip. Sir. Haw ley thinks the country there has a great future before It, for it has not only a fine agricultural district, but is one of the best cattlo countries on the continent. However, Mr. Hawley is satisfied with Pendleton for a while yet and has no thoughts of leaving this place for any other country. 0. R. & N. Booming Alfalfa. II. C. Judson, of tho O. It. & N.. was in the city lasl night and left this morning for Astoria, where ho has to bo this ovoning. Mr. Judson is booming tho dry land alfalfa cul ture, and thinks that tho country around here will in time be much en riched by the culture of that species ui mo piam. mo says It Is an .es tablished fact that alfalfa will prim- all over the hills of this vicinity, and jiuijuh in me near iuinro to see all ol this country mado green and produc iivc v) iia culture. is so worn by tho water that it Is at most Illegible. The book was found far down the creek in n pile of debris and Is tho only thing that remains of the onco happy home. "What Is needed now is labor and money. Tho people havo all tho sym pnthy that they need, for all the country Is In mourning with them, but their Immediate need is to take care of tho dead and to provide for those left destitute by the storm. "Tho orphans and the broken fam.' Hies aro the ones thnt need the first attention and after they havo boon made comfortable as thoy have been, tne first thing to do is to help straighten out the awful tangle in tho business of the town and clear away tho wreck. This will take money and labor and It Is this that the people wnnt at the present time. When Jlr. Carter loft the city at 5 o'clock yesterday evening, there had been 218 bodies taken out and Identified. Ho does not think that tit list will mount much above that fig ure. Country Is Changed. Dan Richmond and John Schmidt have returned from n trip to the scone of tho Hcppner horror nnd the report thoy bring back Is ono of terror. Tho houses are torn and thrown about and tho whole face of tho land Is changed. The rails of the O. It. & N. are scattered about and twisted Into all kinds of shapes and left lying In places whore no one would hnve thought that they could bo driven. Unless one has seen the thing no Idea could bo formed of the force of the water and the horror of the scene. Reports Not Exaggerated. A. P. Ilugg lias returned from Hcppner and tells of the cruesomo sight to be seen there. He says that me matter can not bo painted in any blacker colors than it deserves. Tho conditions there are simply indescrib able and no ono can begin to tell the horrors of tho scene. From the Scene of the Flood. Clarence Penland and B. J. Muir nave returned from the scene of the noon at Hcppner. W. A. Ayres, of Payette. Idaho, a brother of T. W. Ayres, of this city, was in Pendleton between trains to day on his way to Hoppnor, where he goes to look after tho safety of rela tives. Sam Thompson has returned from a trip to Hoppnor, where ho went at tho first nows of the disaster to ron dor any assistance that ho might in the alleviation of tho suffering. James A. Fee roturned last night from Heppner whoro he wont on re ceiving nows of tho disaster. too far to retreat Wo havo spent lots of tho fund and contracted for more, so thnt there would bo but a lltt o Bum left to sond to Hoppnor, Wo can raise far more for tho rollof than wo can for tho Fourth and wo should not throw the Fourth at this late dato. MIko Grata I am In favor of haV' Ing the celobratlon, for I think wo can do more good by having It than by stopping now. Too much of the money has been spent to mako a big sum for the relief, and It Is too lato to quit. I am willing to subscribe moro to the Hoppnor fund than I did to the Fourth, but I think we can do nothing by Btopplng tho celobratlon, C. .11. Dutton I feel that tho cole bratlon should bo called off and tho money diverted to tho rollof fund, Swenrlngen Hros. I think the eel obratlon should be called off, for there are too many peoplo horo who have relatives lost and It would take the life out of tho celebration. think all of tho bills should bo paid pro rata and a new list started 1 necessary, for tho relief of the people at Hoppnor. Many others of tho slgncrB could not be seen, but from ihls list can be read the trend of tho public mind. All of the men aro In favor of help ing the destitute nt the stricken city, and most of them wnnt to give mors than thoy have subscribed towards the Fourth. Tho only thing that is not certain Is the policy of tho thing whether It will be tho best thing to nave tho colouration, or to call it off. Some think thnt It will not bo the best thing to have a celobratlon in the face of tho calamity, and some nro of tho opinion that It will help tlio people there by holding the cele bration hero. Tho matter will bo dis cussed at tho mooting tonight and decided after the careful considera tion of those who hnvo the thing at heart, and who know tho various do tails of the work as it has been trans acted from tho first. li PFRSDMII MENTION, i . r - Was In Pocatello Wreck.
