Quite severe storms of hail and waterspouts visited different sections of Morrow county on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. In the Eight Mile section hail oame down quite heavy. and some Might damage to rineuiug irrain is repored. . tho cot nearly so bad as was first thought. The neigh borhood about Kight Mile center and to the esat of there was visited, the hail striking different farmers more or less severely. Beyond that we understand that gome damage was done to the crop on the J. S. Young place and possibly a few others in that vicinity, while over at Ed Hus ton's and at the F. P. Vaughn place and at C. E. Jones' the damage was perhaps the most severe. Coon the latest reports we are able to get, we can safely say that the real loss suf fered by any of these parties was light and the hail was limited to a very small strip of country. Over on Big Butter creek a water- snout did considerable damage on Sat urday evening, and first reports re ceived at Heppner reported loss of life. The spout struck on the place of F. F. Hufford and washed away his house and other buildings and did damage to the property that Mr Hufford savs could not be covered by 5000. It was reported that Mr. Hufford perished in the water, but this Droved to be untrue He and the other members of his famlv were in the hay field at work at the time the water came down and never got into it at all. A lot of damage was done ro the Jesse French place below Mr. Huffords, much hay being destroyed. Joe Hayes also suffered the loss of a large amount of hay; a lot of his wheat hay being washed away and his alfalfa being covered with mud. He thinks he has lost about 200 tons. The house and bam on the Chapman olace was also taken off and much damage done there. Perhaps $20,000 to $26,000 worth of damage was done in this vicinity by the hail and water. The water came down verv heavy on upper tiinton creek in the vicinitv of the Justus ranch, but the damage dune was slight. A heavy electric storm visited Heppner on Sunday afternoon but it did not last long. Lightning is re ported to have strnck on the Dutton hill just west of town and there was much jingling of telephones while the storm was on. No damage resulted. The rain and hail of the past week have had the effect of delaying har vest but the most of the farmers are now very busy in the fields and great ly appreciate the eool weather it be ing much better for meu end horses.

Office: Gazette, Heppner, Oregon From later reports received con cerning the storm of Sunday after noon, it is learned that a great deal of damage was done to crops and heavy losses sustained by farmers of the Lower Eight Mile section on account of the heavy hail storm. The storm struck about 4 in the afternoon at the head of Dry Fork and on the Albert Lovgren place, and taking a northeasterly course it cover ed a space of from one to four miles and spent its force at the French Bur roughs place on Rhea creek. The following people were the heavy looscrs: Albert Lovgren, Fied Akers, Frank Barlow. Louis Brown, Glen Farrens. Newt King, Ralph Akers, H. R Smith, R. McEUigott, Fred Griffin. Mary A. Ball, Henry S uouse, laxton McMnrray and Mat Halvorsen. Of course it is hard to estimate the exact loss, but in the territory cov ered by thb course of the storm there will be a Iofs all the way from 50,000 to 100,000 bushels, and it may easily reach the latter figure. From advices received, it is also evident that we of this end of the county do not realize what a severe .calamity has befallen the residents of upper Big Butter creek and some of its tribntiries. Many of the ranchers on this stream have lost all they had in houses, barns, stock and hay and the places are Varren and destitute. It is thought by many who saw the water go down, that there waa more water than visited Heppner at the time of the calamity of June 14, 1903. That there was no loss of life is really remarkable, as the water was upon many of the ranchers before they were aware of what was coming. By rapid use of the telephone by those ud the creek, the people below were warned and had time to get out of the way before the water reached them It has left many of these people in really destitute circumstances. Seriously Injured. Robert Young, oldest son of Com missioner J. S. Young, of Heopner. was quite seriously injured on last Saturday evening. He was riding in off the hill out at the Hugh Currin place where lie was working. While going at a pretty lively gait, his horse stumbled and fell, rolling over on liim. He was struck in the breast with the horn of the saddle and two or three ribs broken loose besijes serious injury to his lungs which caused severe hemorrhage. His shoulder was also badlv bruised and it was feared for a time that the injuries might prove fatal. A phvsinian was hurried out to attend him but he could not be removed to town before Mon day. He is now on the road to re covery at his home in Heppner. 0 j Insect Bite Cost l-cjr. A Boston man lost his leg from the bite uf an insect two years before.

Some dirty skalowag tacked up a umber of indecently worded posters at various places about Main street on Sunday night for tne gaze of the pub ic when they should arise on Monday morning. It is barely possible that the party doing this is known and may be apprehended. Hope that lie is, and it might not be out of the way to treat him to a coat of tar and feathers and ride him out of town on a rail. He should at least receive the full penalty of the law for his offense. If you are a housewife you cannot reasonably hope to be healthy or beau tiful by washing dishes, sweeping and doing housework all day , and crawling into bed dead tired at night. You must get out into the open air and sun light If you do thia every day and keep your stomach and bowels in good order by taking Chamberlain's Tablets when needed, yen should become both healthy and beautiful.
