Heppner, Or., July 14.— At 3:30 yes
terday afternoon a cloudburst brought
water in torrents from the hills about
town, driving W illow creek out o f its
banks and threatening for a time a
repetition o f the disaster of June 14,
1903.
Bridges at the upper end o f town
were carried away, sidewalks and
fences swept down the streets, and
many houses filled with tw o or three
feet o f water, the receding flood leav
ing behind a trail o f mud and de
bris. Several houses were partially
wrecked.
In a few instances people living in
the path o f the water had to be car
ried to places o f safety, but the
greater part o f the population, rem em
bering the experience o f a few years
ago, fled to the hills as soon as the
storm assumed dangerous prop or
tions.
The electric pow er station was
quickly put out o f business, and the
city was in darkness last night.
No lives were lost, and it is not be
lieved that damage to crops will be
serious.
For several days the weather has
been excessively warm, with an un
usual amount of humidity in the at
mosphere.
Atm ospheric
conditions
were very similar to those which pre
ceded the great flood of 1903, and yes
terday afternoon when dark clouds
began to gather to the south o f town,
preparations were made by many to
seek safety in the hills.

Seattle, Wash., July 14.— Lum ber
men report that the industry is as
badly paralyzed as before the recent
rate decision by the interstate com
merce com mission, on account o f ru
mors that the railroads are con tem
plating enjoining the decision o f the
com m ission in the federal courts. If
this should be done, the effect would
probably be to continue for possibly-
as long as tw o years the uncertainty
prevailing previous to the decision.
Robert B. Allen, associate editor of
the Pacific Lumber Trade Journal,
said yesterday that he had been in
form ed on reliable authority that the
railroads
had
practically
decided
either to take a straight appeal to the
federal courts or to enjoin the de
cision of the com m ission. The for
mer course would leave the rates es
tablished by the com m ission in force
pending the decision o f the appeal,
which the lumbermen state would not
seriously embarrass them in going
ahead in securing business and resum
ing the industry.
An injunction, on the other hand,
would probably result in a continu
ance of the business on a bond basis,
which would force the lumbermen to
make all shipments under bond to pay
the higher rate should the courts
finally overthrow the decision of the
interstate com m erce com mission.

Save the Babies.
NT ANT MOKTAUTY is something frightful. We can hardly realize thet of
all the children bom in civilized countries, twentytwo per ccnt^, or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen 1
.We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a mar
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the uso of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.
