ahead of the angry waters.
Securing fresh horses at Lex
ington, the desperate men rode
on. From Lexington to lone the
road followed the stream closely,
Aided bv the level road bed the
men took even chances with the
flood and reached lone one hour
before Die flood waters. At lone
the people were easily warned
for they were Just assembling
for church as Matlock and Kelly
breathlessly cried their warn
ing. The people madly, desper
ately rushed for the hills, but
there was no known casualties
at Lexington or lone. Leslie
Matlock and Bruce Kelly sure- j
lv saved many lives In their'
almost theatrical ride, but still
there were many casuaties.
The complete destruction left j
at Heppner was appalling.
Where there had been a town
of beautiful homes, only sick- j
enlnir Diles of rubble remained.
List of the (lead ana missing
mounted uo to approximately
two hundred fifty people. Dam-
aees in the cltv alone streicn-
ed to $500,000 and along Wil
low Creek to the Columbia
thousands more were added on
to the already formidable sum,
CroDs were ruined and lands
were eroded. Meanwhile, the
survivors formed committees
and started the painful process
of cleaning up. It was no won
der that the Heppner Gazette
nuhlished a bulletin about the
flood entitled the "Days of Sor
row In HcDDner."
PeoDle of all descriptions came
to help clean up after the flood.
The meek, the loud, the poor
and the wealthy all joined in
the dreadful business. More
than two thousand men and
hundreds of teams toiled for six
long weeks while clearing the
debris.
Relief monev came from many
towns In the Northwest that had
planned Fourth of July celebra
tions but gave the money will
ingly to aid the community.
Pledees for suDDort came rapid
ly from many cities, Portland
leading the list with eight thous-
nd dollars. Still there was
barelv enouuh monev. Conse
quently, the workers were paid
very little for their toil Decause
there was not enougn money
with which to Dav them. Food
supplies were low, but still the
work had to continue.
In the citv Itself, mud and
rubble was strewn everywhere
in total confusion. Thus, not on
ly in search of the victims, did
the work continue, but for the
safety of the survivors. Within
the debris many of the bodies
were found, many of which
were unrecognizable. Few min
isters were at the scene to per
form burials, so men like my
grandfather, J. H. Pearson, the
father of the little boy who had
seen the ominous clouds to the
south, served as lay ministers.
Gradually the rubble was clear
ed, and a new hope for the fu
ture grew.
Over the years the scars of
the great Heppner flood have
slowly disappeared, and today if
one were to visit the small city
of 1690 population they would
probably not notice any of the
enects or the tiood. A new town
with new houses, new streets.
and a new life was built exact
ly where the old town had been
