THE COMPANY GIVES AID.
Superintendent Corey has hardly taken
time to eat since ha arrived here Friday,
and he has not slept any, spending his
whole time looking after the needs OF the
bereayed. At his order the Oregon I'M
proyement Company has stood all the ex-
pense of funerals, new clothing and
coffins. etc, for the dead, and has agreed
20 ship the bodies TO any destination de-
sired. Mr.. Corey today visited the family
Of John I. Puge. He leaves q wife
and six children, the oldest lid being
but years old. The family will not be
permitted to suffer. Other families visited
were those of Frank Willis. widow and
two children; John Grantilla. mother and
six brothers and sisters; Andy Engdahl,
who leaves three little motherless chill
dren; Ike Clemmens, wife and three chill
dren; John q. Anderson, wife and three
children: William Secor, wife and one
child; Peter Hay, wife and six children;
John Z. Johns, wife and five children;
John Morris, wife and four children;
Jacob Olsen, wife and one child; David ID.
Jones, wife and four children.
While many of the men dead were sin
gle, they leave mothers and brothers and
sisters who not only will miss their COM
panionship. but are liable to feel heavily
the financial loss, their earnings being
needed every month. Mr.. Corey has been
rendering every assistance in his power,
and will continue to do so. Mr.. Burleigh,
the general counsel OF the company, has
also passed among the people, doing all
that he could to alleviate the distress.
The above list makes a total of sixteen
women and forty-eight children who were
directly dependent on those who were
killed.

Siding smoke and brought out bodies
