Reports indicate that the number of
injured is comparatively small.

would be afraid to gauge, rushing
down the mountain, carrying i'm
mense trees and timbers on it's crest
and tearing the very rocks from their
foundations. The terrific storm
struck the upper part of the town
first. The residence of Thomas How
ard was the first to fall and his entire
family was drowned. In the Krug
home also every person was drowned,
as was the case in the Hale and Sal
ing residences. The house of Abra-
ham Hamsick was entirely demolished.
The Palace hotel was the first build
ing to stem the tide and all the guests
were saved, but the houses below the
Palace hotel were blown out into the
street, overturned and wrecked. The
residence Of G. A. Rhea was carried
away and the entire family killed.
The homes of G. E. Redfeld and A.
G.. Gieger went next, but only three
persons were drowned there, as most
OF the occupants were absent.
Saved by Reaching Upper Story.
George Conger's house was next,
but the family succeeded in saving
their lives by rushing to the upper
stories, the house being carried down
the creek three-quarters of a mile.
DR.. McSward and j. Ayers, who were
living in the same residence, were
drowned.
oscar Miners house was next de-
molished and Mrs. Miner drowned.
The rest of the family succeeded in
saving their lives by clinging to the
roof. All of the Wells family but two
were lost and the house carried away.
With the Wells residence went the
house of George Swaggert. Mr.. Swag-
gert's two married daughters were
drowned with their five children. The
Mallory house was carried $50 yards
and was found lodged against a
store and Mr.. Mallory, crippled old
man, was found safe, holding a baby.
Jim Matlock's house was next. Mr..
Matlock was drowned, but his family
was saved. Dr.. Riggs house also
went. Here one child was drowned.
Mrs. Elder was drowned in her resi-
dence. The houses of Mr.. Boyd and
Mr.. Walton were also destroyed and
both families lost.
Perhaps the greatest loss Of life
occurred at the Heppner hotel This
house, which was run under the man.
agement Of Jones & Ashbaugh, was
carried away. It is supposed that
there were about fifty guests in this
hotel, all of whom are reported to be
lost The proprietors themselves were
