Survivors Search Heppnef Ruins for
Bodies,

PORTLAND, Ore, June l6.--Survivors of
the cloudburst which descended on Hepp-
ner on Sunday evening are gathering up
the bodies Of the dead, and 1t is now be-
heved that from $50 to 800 lives have been
lost
There is said to be little need for doctors
and nurses, as all who were in the path Of
the waters persisted, and those who are
alive escaped unhurt, being on high ground
away from the food.
The Portland Office of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company has received the
following message via Echo:
Roughly estimated, almost all the people
living on the banks of Willow Creek were
drowned Need relief in the shape of
large body of men to clear away debris
and bury bodies. Agent Herman and wife
are presumably dead, as they have not
yet been found.
Heppner says:
at is now known that at least PTS or 800
persons were drowned IFS corpses have
been hastily buried in wooden boxes and
some were merely wrapped in blankets,
mere were SUN several WaROnlOatlS
OF dead on their way to the cemetery when
I left Heppner itself has been pretty
well searched, except in piles Of debris,
where it is thought great numbers of bodies
will be found.
j. W. Moore Of this city, who was formerly
State Senator from Morrow county, is one
of the heaviest losers in Il financial way
because Of the flood He owned a con-
siderable portion of the town of Heppner,
and much of his property is located on
low ground. where the effect of the water
was most seriously felt.
His family is in Portland, but his father
in-law and sister are at Heppner, and up
TO late hour last night he had received
no news Of them.
Henry Blackman, at one time Collector
of Internal Revenue for Oregon, went to
Heppner on Saturday, where he is supposed
to have been at the time of the cloudburst.
No word has been heard of him.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company has received information that a
horseman rode ahead of the food and
warned the people of Lexington and lone.
and by this means the loss Of life at those
places was prevented.
