How People of Lexington, Ore,
Escaped the Flood.

Lexington. Ore. June 17.-At this
point the roaring of the Heppner cloud
burst was heard some time in advance
of its arrival. In consequence no lives
We're lost and the property loss is con-
fined to buildings. The largest indi-
vidual loser is probably George Hill, a
rancher All his possessions were de-
stIoyed, except the ground on which his
dwelling stood. His stock, cattle, horses,
hogs, wagons, house and furniture were
all caught in the rising torrent and
swept down the valley. While the flood
was not as high as at Heppner, the sur
face of Willow creek rose Is feet above
its normal level.
The Methodist church was lifted up,
twisted around and then swept like a
giant cannon ball against the Congrega-
tional church, thousand feet away.
BotM places of worship were completely
wrecked Immediately after the passage
of the water rescue parties were organ
lied to aid the stricken citizens Of
Heppner. The first parties which made
a rapid journey from Lexington to
Heppner found in their hurried search
six bodies There are undoubtedly more
of the missing hidden in the piles OF
wreckage above the town. 1t Will be
impossible to thoroughly search all Of
this wreckage and many of the bodies
will in all probability never be recovered.
sion has been SO great here that no ac-
curate estimate of the number of lives
lost by the flood could be made and it is
believed that all estimates sent out
heretofore have been too high. Last
night 130 bodies had been recovered and
it is believed that the total number OF
dead Will not exceed 200.

tinued all the time. There are men in
local commercial pursuits who advertise
only when buying is active; men who
ask for patronage only when everybody
is determined to buy something. There
are men who advertise only about the
Christmas season and do not ask for
patronage at any other time, and there
are other men who do not advertise
at all
These are the men who for the most
part have dull seasons As fact they
have few seasons that are not more or
less dull. The nOn-advertiser fails to
get the cream of any business at any
time His more alert competitor gets it
all the time Nor does intermittent ad-
make success certainty advertising
should be continuous, should know no
seasons except in the change of goods
in demand. and should be convincing
and well displayed. The man who 50
stimulates his business has no time to
be dull.-Harrisburg Telegraph.
