the latest find in the ruins at HEM
ner indicate that the loss of life will
foot up much heavier than at first sup
posed. The casualty list will foot no
to 500. and many of the bodies will
never be recovered. The prope"tv
loss will aggregate probably 81, 0 o.nO'.
This is regarded as a conservative
estimate. One hundred and fifty Of
the hest residences were swept from
the earth. The debris is piled along
the railroad track to the height of
freight cars. The relief work is pro-
crossing at a satisfactory pace.
Among the incidents of the catas-
trophe was the saving of three lives
by Julius Keitley. seventy years Of
age. who rode one mile and a half IN
the roofs of houses and pulled in
three peonle from the flood. James
Herman. the O. R. and N. agent. met
his death at the key irving to raise
Portland to inform the outside world
of the impending calamity. His 1T
tie daughter Katie. who was saved bv
remaining in the stationhouse. saw
her father and mother lost in the
whirl of. the mad waters. Katie
stood by while her father was calling
the Portland Office when the flood
swept In the lower floor and curled
around him. Mrs. Herman rnshed
out of the house and started for a
high point of ground. Herman brave
~ sought to save his wife and both
were lost.
Had a Thrilling Experience.
Ono of the most thrilling adventures
was that of Thomas Shutter. who. with
his family, vas carried down stream
in his house for a mile and a half.
His wife and two children stepped
Into the upper rooms. Below town
lhe house was shot across the creek
to the vest side. where it lodged in
debris 150 yards from the CANYON
bank. Shutter then took his little
mes on his shoulder and swan 200
yards IN the boiling torrent. He
landed the children and struck out to
the house for his wife and rescued
her.
The Mcbride family, which was
1st. went down in their house. The
laughter screamed and beckoned
from the windows to Louis Mckinney.
who, with his family, ran out in the
nick of time from their house to es-
cape. Hhe saw the whole Mcbride
family perish.
TT. r. Baird of Portland lost his
wife and three children. They were
visiting her father.
A force of seventy men r digging
graves on the hillside.
Prompt measures are being taken

threatens to become hot and a relief
