THE HEPPNER CLOUDBURST
Hundreds of People Lost Their
Lives In. Morrow County.

] The town Of Heppner. the county
seat of Morrow county, Oregon, was
almost completely swept away at
6: 30 O'Clock Sunday night by cloud
burst, which came down Willow
creek, on which the town was stu.
ated. Between $50 and 500 people
were drowned. - .s,s =. .-. ~ q - -
The people were caught in their
houses with no chance of escape. A
heavy rain had been falling all after.
noon, and the residents were in their
houses. Without warning terrific
wall of water came tearing down the
creek and the next moment the houses
were wrecked and carried away, a
mass OF ruins on the crest of the inn
mense wave. Many persons were
killed outright. Others were drowned
after heroic efforts to save themselves.
Bridges were swept away like so
many matches, and all means of COM
munication by wire were DESTROYED.
Heppner. the town that was de-
stroyed. by the most terrific cloud.
burst that has ever been known in the
history of the state of Oregon. was
thriving, hustling little city of ap.
proximately 1900 souls
Its location is most unfortunately
advantageous for the destructive force
of such flood as was poured upon it
Sunday night. The town is built on
the banks of Willow creek, in the
neighborhood of the converging point
of four other mountains streams thar
drain a large area of rolling and hilly
country that reaches from three to
20 miles to the foothills, and along
the course OF Willow creek itself for a
distance of % miles to the base of the
Blue mountains.
s Willow creek at the site of Hepp-
ner, flows through narrow valley.
The major part of the business and
residence sections of the town lying
10 the west or the creek in low
bottom, covering an area Of about 1900
feet, the longer distance being along
the creek and the width in places be.
tween the high hills with which the
town is 1lanked, being less than 1000
feet. A terrible storm had been
raging over all the territory drained
by Willow creek and its tributaries
and the flood concentrated at Hepp.
ner, filling the creek bottom from
bluff to bluff.
As soon as the news reached Port
land, relief trains were made up i'm.
and hurried to the spot to
assist in recovering the dead and to
give all possible relief to the sur
vivors. A relief fund was started and |
the response was generous.

MISS HOWARD'S RECITAL
Hundreds Of Guests We're De-
lighted Monday Evening.

The opera house on Monday even ing
was we'll filled by the large number
of invited friends who assembled to
listen to the pia"o recital by Miss
Eula Howard, pupil of Hugo Mans.
feldt, given under the auspices of the
musical department of the Woman S
club. The stage was arranged in
pleasant and harmonious taste, its ap-
pearance adding to the enjoyable
character of the evenings entertain
ment.
Shortly after half past eight, Miss
Howard appeared ON the stage and
was greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plause. Though she has always been
favorite among our younger pianists
and her playing has always been
greatly enjoyed whenever she has ap-
peared before Grants Pass audiences
in the past, yet her friends were sur.
prised and delighted beyond measure
at the rapid progress she had made
and the added proficiency which she
has attained.
The classical musical productions
were interpreted by Miss Howard
with an intelligent comprehension of
the themes and they were rendered
with delicately discriminatiye ex-
prossion and artistic touch which
acquainted the listeners with the very
soul of the music. One of the re.
markable things in Miss Howards
playing is the power which she pos
sesses and which she can so we'll use
with effect. Yet she has delicacy
of touch also which is remarkable and
the softest, sweetest notes which the
instrument can produce are at her
command.
