CLOUDBURST
Sweeps Down a Mountain GuIch
Destroying a Town.
OF I,25O inhabitants Nearly 500
Lost Their Lives In The
Flood.

Herpner, Ore, June 16.-Esti-
mates of the loss of life by Sunday
nights cloudburst differ widely,
but the number of dead is certain
to reach 800 and it may be swelled
to 500 when all are accounted for.
One hundred and ten bodies have
been buried and it is known that so
are missing. Still others, VINO are
strangers in the town, are supposed
to be among the lost.
People are coming here from all
directions in wagons and on horse
dack and the work of recovering
bodies and burying the dead is pro-
ceeding as fast as possible.
The property loss and destruc-
ton of buildings alone Will aggre-
gate probably a million dollars.
This is regarded as a conservative
estimate,
one hundred and nifty OF the best
residences were swept from the
earth. The debris is piled along
the railroad track to a height of ten
feet.
David McAtee, a business man of
Heppner, whose residence is on
ranch above Heppner, was an eye
witness of the cloudburst.
"On Sunday afternoon, said Mr..
McAtee, there had been a very
severe rainstorm, accompanied with
much wind and lightning. was
standing in front of the house and
noticed that a cloud of remarkable
denseness approached the top o.
the bill on the east side of the can

To use an eighteenth century phrase.
this is an "o'er true tale" Having hap.
pened in small Virginia town in the
winter Of 1902. it is a story very much
of the present. Up to short time ago
Mrs. John Harmon, OF Melfa Station, Va,
had no personal knowledge Of the rare
curative properties of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Last January, she
says, my baby took a dreadful cold and
at one time | feared she would have
pneumonia, but one Of my nei ghbors
told me how this remedy had cured her
little boy and began giving il to my
baby at once and it soon cured her.

Water Works and Electric
Light.

At six o'clock last Tuesday eve
ming, the Executive Committee of
Water Works and Electric Light,
received and opened the large
number of bids that were submit
ted TO the Committee to furnish
the machinery, supplies and mate
rails of all kind for the construc-
ton of the plant contemplated.
After having gone over all the
bids with tie assistance of their
engineer, have accepted the diff
ferent bids, and the machinery and
supplies bought by the committee,
will give us a modern, up-to-date,
and first class plant in every de-
tail.
The machinery and material will
commence to arrive in six weeks
or two months, and the plant Will
be completed in ninety days after
work is commenced, so we figure
that the plant will be finished
about the middle July next.
In the mean time the committee
will look into the probable cost OF
operating the plant, and estimate
the cost of light and water to the
consumers.
The committee will make every
effort to make the prices as low al
possible, or as close as possible t.
the operating expenses, in ordel
to make the plant popular at thu
very start.

ti-Saloon Crusade.

cular letter from IN oISdnizaIiOh
from Shreveport, which opens a
campaign against the saloons and
The liquor traffic.
The opposition to saloons and
the sale of all kinds of liquors is
not a new one in North Louisiana,
but the opposition during the past
few years was mostly done by To-
calities, or a few persons in each
locality, and in some parishes they
have succeeded in suppressing the
sale of liquors in legal way. and
in other parishes they have sup
pressed the sale Of liquors in some
towns and wards.
This new move is started with
the intention of forming an asso-
citation in all the parishes of the
State to make general fight for the
entire suppression Of the sale of
liquors.
In North Louisiana, we believe
che movement will become popu-
Oar, but in the South and South
west Louisiana, we doubt that it
will be even possible to get men,
bers to join this new organization,
as our people are more liberal,
and broader minded than our tenn
perance brothers of North Louisi-
ana.
We are not opposed to the sale
of liquors, on the contrary, we ia
Vor saloons, provided they are run
in legal manner, under the eyes
and the surveillance of the law, we
believe all institutions of that
kind that are carried on openly,
are less dangerous than the secret
dives and blind tigers, that exist
in large numbers in all parishes
where the law prohibits the sale
of liquors, and We have seen more
drunkards in prohibition towns in
one day, than we have seen in st.
Martinville in one year.
But, we are of opinion that the
sale of liquor should be entirely
suppressed from the country dis
tricts, laws should be passed that
would permit of the sale of liquors
only in incorporated towns, where
those who would have tendency
to abuse in intoxicant drinks
would be under the supervision of
Che police.
The upper part of this parish,
The fifth ward, we believe, has
something like eighteen or nine
teen bar rooms, and we learn it
is the more troublesome of the pa
IRISH, because there is no police
check upon those who abuse of
strong drinks, here in st. Martin
vile, We have as many bar rooms
and stores selling liquors. and we
hardly believe that there is one
single arrest in the whole year,
for drunkenness, or disorder caus-
ed by excessive drinking, and this
is probably due to the fact that
the town is well policed, and those
who would have a tendency to
cause trouble or disturbance
would land in the calaboose, to So
Der up and would have chance
to contribute few dollars to the
town treasury in the form of a
fine. Our revenues from this
source, are very small.
