others. The family came down on
a ladder and were taken out un-
injured.
BY this time the terrors of the
flood could be realized. In the
channel of the creek the wall of
water was at least 40 feet deep and
the crest of the stream seemed to
be at least ten feet higher than the
overflow on the sides. Dark and
muddy, lashing like a storm at sea,
houses were picked up like
feathers. Up the buildings would

1t is certainly wonderful that so
many people escaped. It was only
a matter of luck in getting onto
drift that went to shore.
The terrible sceoes as viewed
from the hill tops can be compared
to a horrible night mare. Cling
ing to drift were the unfortunate
victims, up aud down in the un-
equal battle where they were
swallowed up like rats in a cage.
Poplar trees, over two feet in
diameter were snapped off like
cornstalks.
Many were the thrilling and hair
breadth escapes.
Phil Cohn, whose family was out OF
town, was at home and asleep when the
flood struck his house, he stayed with
the building until it went to pieces and
for mile he clung to wreckage, going
under half dozen times or more, and
finally was able to crawl out more dead

without seconds warning,
leaping, foaming wall of water, a
feet in height, struck Heppner a
about 5 O'Clock Sunday afternoon
sweeping everything before it anc
leaving only death and destruction
in it's wake.
Nothing in the history of the
Western country can compare with
the awful disaster, and it can only
be realized by eye witnesses.
In the middle of the afternoon
dark clouds commenced to ap-
pear in the south and short time
before the flood a heavy rain fall
commenced with an electrical
storm.
The rainfall was not heavy
enough here to cause any alarm,
and as the rain came down thick
and fast, the people were pleased
to see good soaking rain which
was needed to help out the crops.
Owing to the roar of thunder and
the noise caused by the heavy rain
fall, the roar Of the awful torrent
was not heard, and a great many
people knew nothing Of it until
their houses commenced to move.
Even the people on Main street
and through the business portion
were not aware of anything until
the overflow of the channel COM
menced to come down the street
and move some of the smaller
wooden business buildings.
There was a wild rush for the
hills amid scenes that are in
describable.
Words cannot express the horror,
the awful destruction. Entir ely
helpless, from the hillsides, the
survivors watched the terrible
waters take their course. To at
tempt to battle the great waves
meant only suicide without being
able to able to accomplish any,
thing.
The cloudburst covered large
territory, the main portion strik-
ing about eight miles above Hepp-
ner on Balm Fork, a prong of
creek.
For miles all the draws and
little creeks leading to the Willow
creek valleywere flooded and must
haye reached the main stream
about the same lime.
The first warning that the pee
pie in the business portion bad
was when the large two story resi-

A portion of the east side of Nam

were lifted from their foundations to the
street almost blockading the thorough
fare from travel.
The town is now we'll organized for

and Wednesday evenings and different

worker, in fact, there are hundreds who
should be mentioned.
The work of clearing out the debris,
and the search for the missing is now
progressing in a most satisfactory
manner. The workers are apportioned
in squads with foreman for each squad
and the work is systematic.
There are now 20OO men and hundreds
of teams employed.
The survivors and sufferers of the
awful disaster feel thankful and grateful |
for the quick and willing response at
the call for aid from the people of the
state of Oregon. Workmen and supplies
are coming in from many different
places.
Already $l0,665 have been pledged,
the city .of Portland heading the list
with $4,000.
Several towns that were going to
celebrate the Fourth of July will turn
oyer the fund for our relief, Pendleton
being among the list, but what these
amounts will aggregate cannot yet be
ascertained.
The town is now in a deplorable con-

Dan Stalter, who lost his wife and 81
children, escaped with one of his chill
dren by getting into dry goods boz

The water was at it's height for ONLY
about an hour, and while the waters
were receding, the survivors were or

The waiting room of the First National
bank and Roberts hall were transform.

when the searchers were forced to quit

"We will try" and before the words

stuck straight out were soon out of
