be found the woods "boiling full of
water," as he expressed. An nttempt
was made to strengthen the dam by run
ning a plow along its top and throwing
earth iu against its face. As the rise
continued a gang of men were set to
ork, and n cut about tweny"tret wide
aud three feet deep was excavated on the
west side, giving a spillway, through
whice u torrent of water escaped. At
the other end of the dam the regular
spillway, of considerably larger dimen
sions, was also discharging water. Still
the lake rose, and at, 11:30 a. m., Mr.
Parke gave up hope of averting the over
llow. He gallope I down to South Fork
and seut men oil to the telegraph ofliou
with warnings for Johnstown and the
other villages,
reached the dam again and walked over
About three inches of water was upon
it, pouring down the outer slope and
gradually eating away the face. At 3
o'clock the break began, a piece ten feet
in width near the center first succumb
ing. In threo-quarters of nn hour the
base of the dam was readied, and the
lake was empty.
The dam was an embankment about
800 feet long and 75 feet high, with prac
tically equal slopes on each side of
aoout 45 degrees. The top was 20 feet
wide, and rock was spread over both
faces. The mntcrial of the work was
clay or silt, apparently most excellent
material, if properly nsed. It was of
snob nature as to form a thoroughly im
pervious harrier, though, unfortunately,
very easily out away ou its exterior sur
face. In the core of the structure row
of sheet piling could be seen which had
been used in the original construction, I
but which added very little to its
strength. The material exhibited murks
of stratification, showing what miners
would call "stopes" or steps upon the
side of the crevasse. At the eastern end
the regular spillway or overflow was
placed. This is a sluice or canal out
through the rock, about 40 feet wide,
with its bottom eight or ten feet below
the top of the dam. It was crossed by
two bridges. A fish screen to prevent
the fish from escaping crossed (he than
nol, but as it was only three feet high it,
could not have greatly impeded the
water. It is not now in place, being
broken and destroyed. It is quite pos
sible that it was oarried away before the
overflow began. Five lines of cast-iron
pipe, about twenty iuohes in diameter,
ran through the base of the dam, ter
minating iu masonry tunnels reaching
well outside of the base. These were
permanently closed. After a former
break iu the dam some years ago the
tower was burned. This tower stood on
the top of the gate house and contained
appliances Tor opening and shutting the
gates. It was then constructed of wood
and was only reached by boat. The
water had been rising rapidly and
at midday was within a foot of the top.
The spillway was discharging water to
its utmost capacity, produoing a perfect
cataract. A little after 1 o'clock the top
was reached, and before loug the water
began to flow across the roadway at the
ends of the dam. The streams, growing
wider, worked their way toward the
center, and eventually poured over that
portion as well. Then the destruction
began. The water began to out into the
soft material, dredging away the unsup
ported clay, and every instant increas'ug
the opening. In about an hour and a
half the reservoir was empty, and a
crevasse 350 feet wide at the top was
formed, through whoso bottom the
stream flowed.
Whatever may be the finally accepted
view as to the cause of the great dis
aster, it is evident that the dam was
abuudautly strong enough to hold back
the water contained in the reservoir un
til a breach had beeu made in the top
by the water flowing over its faoo. To
prevent this the spillway at the side had
been constructed. This spillway had
been made through the solid rock, and
had Btl'orded an ample outlet for all the
surplus water, without danger to the
dam, for a period of eight years. That
this spillway should have been uiudo
still deeper is now evident enough, and
had this been done, and the water thus
prevented from flowing over the face of

the water rapidly rising, and went np junction of the hvo streams is the stoue
toward the upper end of the lake. There railroad bridge. Up to this point the
water had carried away every onuge it
encountered. But the stone structure
was too strong. It stood the strain and
at once the immense moss of debris piled
up against it. The water was thus held
back in Johnstown as if in a shallow
basin. It formed a gigantic whirlpool
and began ciroling around the valley,
completing the work of destruction. Ou
the first flow it had swept through the
city and carried a mass of houses and
wreckage into Kernville. When all was
over, Kernville was left full of the Johns
town buildings, and to day it may be
said that every lot in Kernville has one
or more bouses on it that once stood on
the opposite side of Slouv creek. Iu
the region of the center of the whirlpool
to Johnstown descended about 253 feet.
The theoretical velocity due to this de
scent would be about 127 feet per second,
or between SO and 87 miles un hour. Ac
cording to the best accounts that we
have, from 25 to 17 minutes was occu
pied iu the passage to Johnstown, a dis
tanoe of about twelve miles. Thus the
average velocity could not have been far
short of 50 miles an hour. The impetus
of such a mass of ater was irresistible.
As the flood hurst through the dam it
cut trees away as if they were stalks of
mullein.
The region surrounding Johnstown
has a large lumber interest, and many
saw logs found their way into the tor
rent, principally coming from the country
near Stony creek. These added to the
strength of the blockade near the bridge.
For several days a number of stationary
steam engines have been at work drag
ging the larger pieces of wood and
wreckage out of the dam, in order to
give a clear passage to the water and to
remove the remains of human beings
and animals that, decaying, may yet give
rise to sickness.
The mo t widespread movement for re
lief has naturally taken place Contri
butions of all kinds as well ns money
has beeu liberally donated. After vari
ous vicissitudes iu the way of govern
ment, wherein the military aud civic
authorities tended to come in couliict
with each other, the region has been
placed under martial law, with Adjutant
General Hastings in oommand. From
West Point aud Willetts Point equip
ments were dispatched, and temporary
bridges of this description were erected
where required. Over one place a sus
pension bridge has been built. A quantity
of tents have been pitched, aud many of
the features of army life are to be Been.
The loss of life is quite uncertain. A
bureau of registration has been estab
lished for the survivors, and a total of
about 1(,00 individuals are reproseuted
units pages. About 1,2J0 bodies, over
half of which wore identified, have been
recovered. It is proposed tooomparothe
statistics collected with the most re
cently compiled direotory of Johnstown,
and thus arrive at a better estimate of
the loss. The damage to life and prop
erty was not oonfined to the Conemaugh
region. On the other slope of the Alle
glianv mountains floods and inundations
oeourred, sweeping millions of feet of
logs down to the Chesapeake and out to
sea. As a bounty is allowed for the sav
ing of such logs, n considerable portion
will be secured hut many are now afloat
far out on the ocean. A captain of a
schooner describes being caught among
them, and gives a grapbio acoonut of the
trouble ho had iu esoaping.
GILLIAM COUNTY.
From the Arlinitton Times.
An injunction baB been gran ed by
Judge Bird restraining the sheriff of
Gilliam county from selling the lands of
the Northern Pacific railroad company
for taxes. The matter w s argued iu
The Dalles Inst Tuesday by Judge
Mai lory and A. A Jayne. There seems
to be considerable conflicting testimony
on this matter, some states holding that
a sherift can be enjoined aud others to
the contrary.
The Heppner train had its first acoi
lent, last Monday (June 24). One of the
journals under the water tank broke
near Mr. Cecils place aud it was
unable to move the train further. Mr.
Gilmore and two wool buyers walked
to the Willows and then come to Arling
ton ou a freight. The other passengere
were taken cue of at a private house.
An engine was sent up from the Th
Diiles and br light the train ill about
midnight. Encineer P liters, took his
engine to The Dalles for repairs.
Clias. Biammel, eld st son of Mr. and
Mrs. T. E. Biaiuiuel. died last night
about midnight after a prolonged sick
ness tit about five weeks, llie deceased
was, just before taken sick, clerk iu the
Arlington National Bank, and would
have beeu 18 years old ou the 31st of
July. He was born in Missouri, but
raised in Oregon, having been a student
of the high school at Portland here bis
parents reside. Ho was formerly a
pupil of Miss Sabin of that city. The
news that Charley was in danger was
first reoeived Wednesday morning w hen
he suddenly took a change for the worse
Charley Brauimel was well kun.ui in
this city, and his memory will remain
a fixture in our city among his numer
ous friends. The funeral took place
at 3 P. M., June 28.
From the Fossil Journal.
A ooi respondent informs us that all
of Long Creek's trade and business is
done at Heppner since the complotiou of
the Heppner Branch.
We hear no complaint of the grain
burning around about Fossil. Farms
around here that have been tilled lor
fifteen years, have beautiful crops; are
not now. and never have burnt. A man
who owns a farm uear Fossil ought to
be happy.
There is talk of building a system of
water-works for Fossil. There are sev
eral fine large springs near about town
in different directions, of an elevation
of ab ml, 150 feet. A good large reser
voir aud plenty of pipe aud hose would
probably cost S2.y0J, but might save
twenty times that amount of property in
a s iort time. Besides, the oonveuienoe
and pleasure of having good water to
use in irrigat'ag trees aud lawns, and
sprinkling the streets aud beautifying
the city iu general is no sraalljtem, and
worth what it will cost. Fossil is built
in a rich section of country, where crops
don't burn, where wood, water and grass
are iu abuudanoe, and it is bound to
grow steadily and be the leading town
in Gilliam county. Our citizens need
not be afraid t invest money iu the
water works. It will pay for itself soon
in the protection it affords, in the
increased value it will give to ail proper
ty iu the town, and will soon be a pay
ing investment to the incorporators aud
owners of the water works. The water
works will he built.
