Big Loss iTobably the heaviest lonj range lam from the flood is that from washing in the fields. Tons of top soil washed, down the thirty , deep-chocolate colored streams and deep ditches were cut in fields. "One bad runoff can do more damage than 1Q0 years of crop ping can replace. Judge Peter son said. . The Bernard Dohertys In Blackhorse canyon were heavily hit by washing, but damage to their home and buildings was not as severe as in some pre vious flood conditions. Some miscellaneous reports were that Slim tmert had lost some calves in the flood, that Bill Weathcrford lost three soil con servation dams on his place on the main highway to Pilot Rock, and that the Franklin Ely place near lone was hard hit Back in Hcppner, damage was light by comparison. Water com lnir down Shobe canyon went un der the Chase street bridge with ' out trouble this time but over flowed on to the lawns of homes of Dpug Grlbble, Max Buschke and others, leaving a general mess there. Others up alone the Condon highway suffered heavy 'mess damage." The Roice Fulle- tons had trouble getting In and out or their home at various times.
