Portland Or, Special: During the past six
weeks heavy storms have prevailed through
out Eastern Oregon and Washington Territory.
The loss of live stock is reported very heavy
Cattle and horses persisted by thousands from
exposure and want of food The loss Of sheep
and hogs, however, is reported much greater.
In Crook county, Or, the percentage Of loss
is very large, but in Klamath county, lust
south, the loss is comparatively light The
total money value to stock raisers is difficult
to estimate. The latest reports from set
tied regions east of the Cascades are that
large numbers of persons froze to death dur
ing the late cold, protracted snow storm
number of persons during the continuance
of the storm are known to have wandered
off and persisted Most of the bodies of such
persons have been recovered since the snow
disappeared. Very recent inquiries among
relatives and friends disclose the fact that
many persons are still missed, and their where
abouts unknown There can be no doubt as to
the fate of these missing persons. The pre-
else number of persons perishing will prob
ably never be known, but it is large.
