tins steer, which pasture In
field near the Cox home, were
swept prist the house In the
flooded ditch and carried well
over 100 yards before they were
able to climb away from the tor
rent, none the worse for the ex
perlence.
Mrs. Kenneth Turner reported
on the Sand Hollow area 12 miles
northeast of Ileppner: a flash
flood came down the canyon,
washed summer fallow fields at
the top of the canyon free of
top.Holl. At the Douglas Drake
home further down, mud 6 Inches
deep was washed onto the front
porch and the yard gate was
washed away. At the Don Evans
ranch fields were covered with
mud, and the pump was sub
merged and fouled with mud.
At the Turner home three large
barrels belonging to neighbors
runner up the canyon were
washed Into the yard; fences
were ripped out and the alfalfa
was covered with mud. Below
at the Ray Dolvln ranch, alfalfa
which was cut was washed loose
and mixed with the mud. The
flood of water and dirt continued
across the road and onto the al
falfa field at the Kenneth and
Fritz Cutsforth place. It is about
miles from the top of the
hollow to Cutsforth. The stream
of mixed water and mud con
tinued to flow around the bridge
and over the road for about three
hours. Cutsforth also reported
gullying and erosion of the
wheat fields.
Those In Ileppner who rallied
to battle fires suddenly turned
their attention to thoughts of
Hood. Balm Fork threatened, but
the deluge stopped before It grew
to damaging proportions there.
However, Just north of town,
water rolled down a canyon
across from the Wishing Well
drive-in, poured across the state
highway and covered three fair
ways of the Willow Creek Golf
course wllh a heavy layer of
mud, wood and debris.
Some of the main streets of the
city became virtual rivers for a
few minutes and left layers of
mud for city crews to clean up
the next day.
At the W. L. Cox residence,
175 S. Chase, a good-sized tree
toppled in the front yard and
narrowly missed the house.
Four miles north, near the
Ruggles place, water poured
down a small canyon and In
undated the highway. Harvey
Warner, school director from
Irrigon, on his way to a board
meeting in his car went Into
the ditch when he hit the spot
but he and Bob Slcard of Board
man, another director, were un
hurt. Two old car bodies washed
down to the golf course at the
height of the storm.
All was placid in Ileppner
Tuesday evening when lone took
the brunt of punishment. W. L.
(Bill) Cox saw a waterspout near
Rietmann canyon out of lone and
gave warning. Sirens sounded at
5:43 and residents of the town
quickly evacuated.
The water rolled down the can
yons in a rury, ripping roans,
scAtterlne boulders, debris and
another old car body on the high
way. Water poured through Mel
vin Mclena's Builders Supply and
100 pound cartons of tar floated
over a wide area, water was
more than two feet deep in his
lumber shed and covered much
of his high grade lumber.
The flood poured through Ma
son's and Hick's groceries leav
ing a layer of mud and damag
ing stocks on lower shelves. It
hit Mayor Charles O'Connors
Insurance office and flooded
Stefanl's Fine Foods, causing
heaw damage there. Brlstow's
Market took a beating, the base
ment filling and motors there
being ruined.
At city hall, the library side
of the building took water to a
depth of about six Inches and
women gathered when the noon
was over to clean up the mess
while men got to work In the
muck In the council room.
Meanwhile, Just south of the
city, debris backed up along the
Union Pacific railroad dike and
caused the Pacific Power and
Light substation and the high
way to be flooded to a depth of
some four feet, stopping traffic
over two hours. Fred Gimbel said
that he was afraid that the flood

The highway was blocked in
several places by rocks and mud,
but state highway crews and
county workers responded im
mediately to clear it away.
