At Least 800 Dead at
Heppner and PrOba-
bly, More.
MANY ARE BURIED
Property Loss Figured
atS1,OOO,OOO---Oth-
er Incidents.

Heppner, Ore, June 1T.-Estimates
of the loss of life by Sunday nights
flood 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 at this writ
ing, and it is known that fifty are
missing Still others who were stran-
gers in the town are supposed to be
among the lost. People are coming here
from all directions in wagons and on
horseback and the work of recovering
bodies and burying the dead is pro-
ceeding as fast as possible. The prop
erty loss will aggregate probably
million dollars. This is regarded as
conservative estimate. One hundred
and fifty of the best residences were
swept from the earth. The debris is
piled along the railroad track to the
height of freight cars. The relief work
is progressing at a satisfactory pace.
OLD Man Does Heroic Work.
Among the incidents of the catas-
by Julius Keitley, 40 years old, who
rode one mile and Il half on the roofs
of houses and pulled in three people
from the flood James Herman, the ..
r. and " agent, met his death at the
telegraph key trying to raise Portland

pending calamity. His little daughter
Katie, who was saved by remaining in
the station house, said her father and
mother were lost in the whirl of the
mad waters. Katie stood by while
her father was calling the Portland Of
fee, when the flood swept in the lower
floor and curled around him. Mrs.
Herman rushed out of the house and
started for a high point of ground.
Herman bravely sought to save his
wife and both were lost.
Tom Shutters Thrilling Adventure.
One of the most thrilling adventures
was that of Tom Shutter, who, with his
family. was carried down stream in his
house for a mile and a half. His wife
and two ~lildren stepped into the up
per rooms. Below town the hoGse
was shot across the creek to the west
side. where it lodged in debris $50
yards from the canon bank. Shutter
then took his two little ones on his
shoulder and swan 200 yards in the
boiling torrent. He landed the chill
d.en and then struck out to the house
for his wife and rescued her.

PEOPLES DELIGHT EXPLAINED
They Know Little aud Care Less About
the Politics of the Country.


the Politics of the Country.
Inquiries in official circles every
where elicit the assurance that the peo-
pie are delighted with the action Of the
government, but conversations over
heard in public places indicate that the
people, especially those living outside
the capital, know little and care little
about the trend of national politics.
One of the features in all the shop
windows now is the display OF large
pictures of King Peter, freshly print
ed, the cuts having been brought from
abroad. Two peasants were heard dis
cussing one of these prints. The first
asked who it was.
The new king, Kara georgevitch, :"
replied the second.
why did they kill rhe last king"
II don't know. l think he had some
trouble with the army?"
Suppose this one has trouble with
the army?" %w
"They will kill him. too" came the
unconcerned response.
1t is believed that the army will try
to make secret terms with the new
king by which it will retain the su-
premacy gained by the tragedy, but
whether the king will agree TO the
conditions is uncertain. One of the
highest officials of the present govern
ment asked a number of foreign jour
nalists what Europe thought of the
way in which the Servian revolution
was carried out. He was told bluntly
that it was considered Il brutal act.
He thereupon explained that from
his point of view the assassination of
the king and queen was an act Of
mercy, as by utterly destroying the dy-
nasty, instead of depOrting the soyer-
eigns. the likelihood of civil war was
precluded.
The following is the text of the tele-
gram from Premier Avakumovics by
which King Peter was notified of his
election: 1.-The national representatives
of the people, sitting together, have
Just elected you king of Servia. While
making you acquainted with the fact
the government of Servia has the hon.
or to tender you its heartiest congrat-
ulations, and to express the desire that

REMOVED
Miners Representatives on the
Gray Cancellation Board
Are Duly Chosen.
DONE BY OUTSIDE NEGOTIATIONS
Operators and Labor Leaders Getting
Together Between Meetings of
the Convention.

Scranton, Pa, June 17.-There will
be no strike in the anthracite region
growing out of the refusal of the op-
orators to recognize the credentials of
District Presidents Nichols, Fahy and
Dettrey, instructed by the joint ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine Work
ers as the miners representatives on
the board of coniIiation. The Conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers elect
ed the three district presidents by dis
tricts as their representatives, and the
operators, through President George f.
Baer, of the Reading company, an
nOunced that this action was satisfac-
tory.
Settled by Outside Negotiations,
When the miners convention ad-
journed Monday afternoon it was for
the ostensible purpose of giving the
committee on resolutions opportunity
to frame report embOdying the Senti-
ment of the convention as expressed
in the motions and speeches of Monday
afternoons session. Later Connell, of
the cOnciliation board. on the one hand,
and President Mitchell, on the other.
communicated with one another
through Charles p. Neill. who was sent
here as a peace envoy by some mem
bers of the strike commission, and the
result was Il tentative agreement that
if the miners in the three separate
district conventions elected representa-
tives, those representatives would not
be objected TO by the operators.
Unanimous. but Not Enthusiastic.
When the convention opened Presi-
dent Mitchell read the report of the
committee on resolutions providing for
the election of cOnciliators by separate
district conventions. The resolutions
while insisting that the original ap-
pointment was proper under the Gray
commission report, declare that to re-
move any possibility of misunderStand-
ing this convention Of accredited rep

BY Army.
sERVIAN OUTLOOK Is NOT PRETTY
Military Despotism Seems to Stick
Out All Over Recent Proceed
ings-Popular Comment.

Belgrade, June 1.-THE cabinet
ministers and other Servian officials
are jubilant over the czar's telegram
to King Peter demonstrating the sym
pathy on the part of Russia. King
Peter has received congratulatory
kilograms from Emperor Francis JOS
eph and King Victor Emanuel. The
former seizes the occasion to de-
nounce the assassinations.
Belgrade, June 1.-THE position of
King Peter 1 promises to be little more
than that of royal captive; the real
government of the country will be mil
itary dictatorship, under the leaders
of the revolution-ColOnel Maschin
and Colonel Mitschitch. The new king
is almost without any personal adher-
ents, and the ruling spirits of the army,
it is thought probable, would just as
readily murder him as they did his
predecessor should he oppose their
aims. At the present moment the
whole country is under military rule
and although no projects in the coun-
try districts have been revoked each is
accompanied by an army officer who
attends the perfect wherever he goes,
even TO the telephone.

Ljubomir Schiokovios, the editor of

pervious to arguments the cOnspirators
invited him to Il dinner ut the officers
club last Saturday. During the dinner
his host told him that unless he agreed
to support Prince Peter Karageorge-
witch there would be one head less in
Belgrade that night. NJ. SchiokOvios
yielded to the force of this reasoning.
and accepted the situation. He is now

in the proceedings, but his presence
was significant enough to induce the
members to accept the army's choice.
Premier Avakumovics told the deputies
that it was useless TO talk of a re-
public, as neither Russia nor Austria
would permit it. He further urged that
the proposed new constitution would
give King Peter far less power than
that enjoyed by the president OF the
United States.

Mr.. Bailey Replies to Senator Norris

To the Editor:-I will not enter into a
controversy with Senator Norris on the
subject of his record. He and | do not
differ in regard to his course in respect
10 the temperance bills. He says that
he was consistent. In my Peter Plain
notes, said that he was perfectly con-
sistent" My objection lies in the tact
that MIR Norris voted on both sides of
the question. That is he voted for
the Watts bill and then voted for the
amendments pug in to kill it. BY such
course he cannot deceive even himself.
| Every man in the Senate understood
him.
| ! wish to say, that my Peter Plain
| letters were written in no desire to con-
cval the name of their author. Promptly
uron bong asked about them, l assumed
the responsibility for them, as many
gentlemen in the House and Senate might
| bear witness. They were written in the
form of letters because their subject
matter would not have suited tho edi-
tcrial style.
| | deny either that Mr. Norris quota
ton of a Recorder editorial got me into
hole, or that ! said such a thing to
! him. Tt IS bad enough to bring per-
| sCnal conversation into the Senate and
the newspapers without twisting it, My
editorial counselled conservative meas
r~es and sane methods of treating the
drink evil There is nothing in ii that
| does not accord with the legislation chat
| have urged It is both conservative
| and sane. The Senator's trouble is that
any temperance legislation is offensive
in his sight His record shows him on
the negative side of every temperance
| bill in the Senate, and on tho affirmative
side of every liquor bill. | do not OBJ
iect to this. / grant mis- right TO choose
! for himself. l have not criticised him
| for this. I criticised him for trying 10
stand on the temperance side, While ae
/ was fighting in the camp of the enemy
| I leave the charge against Mr.. Brough-
! ton with that gentleman. He did not own
| my paper during the last Assembly. and
he never controlled its editor, and Sen
/ ator Norris knows it.
AS to my attitude towards the Watts
! hill that | earnestly worked for it as
soon as the London bill was lost, : call
Representative Watts, Governor Aycock,
Senator London Senator Brown and 9TH
ers to witness.
Finally as to the Senator's advise
that / surrender my position, I will
promise to seriously consider leaving re-
ligious journalism and falling into poll
tics when the Senator rises to the point
where his advice in religious matters is
seriously considered by any body. When
he gets into religion we may all so into
politics for relief
