90th anniversary of Heppner
flood to be commemorated
The sudden flash Hood that
claimed over 250 lives in 1903 in
Heppner will be commemorated
Thursday, October 21 with the
dedication o f a new state
historical marker

between Hinton Creek bridge and
Willow Creek bridge at the north
end of town, across from Farley
Motor Co.
The Hash flood began on June
14, 1903, as a cloudburst hit
Balm Fork Canyon, south of
Heppner. Many of the 1146
residents of Heppner were sitting
down to supper or getting ready
for evening church services
despite the storm in the air. At
5:15 p.m. a flash of lightning
struck and stopped the town
clock. The storm and flood arriv­
ed at the same time. The rushing
waters swept down the narrow
gorge in a w all of destruction 200
yards wide, and into the town of
Heppner.
Many citizens could not escape
to higher grounds. Victims were
buried under water, mud and
debris, eventually totaling over
250 bodies. Not all of the
casualties were identified, and not
all of the missing were found.-
As word of the disaster extend­
ed beyond the community, relief
supplies, funds and workers
poured into Heppner from all
over the Northwest and the na­
tion. Combined efforts helped
Heppner dig out and recover
from the natural disaster.
Heppner city manager Gary
Marks worked with Union Oil
Company to clear the way for the
placement of the marker in a new
pocket park on Highway 74.
Union Oil owns the land but has
agreed to release it for the place­
ment of the historical marker.
The Heppner historical marker
is among the first of a new style
of marker using graphic illustra­
tions and color with text on a
fiberglass display panels. It will
retain the familiar wooden sup­
port frame used on 85 markers
statewide.
"There is a renewed interest in
historical markers," says Wen­
dy Cloyd, assistant director of the
Travel Information Council in
Salem that administers the state
marker program. The program,
inactive since the 1960s when it
was operated under the Depart­
ment of Transportation, has been
revitalized public interest, she ex­
plains. Other new markers are
expected to be placed throughout
the state. This marker was spon­
sored by the Morrow County
Museum and the Morrow Coun­
ty Historical Society.
