WIPED OUT BY FLOOD
APPALLING DISASTER VISITS
OREGON TOWN.
Wall Of Water Sweeps Down Upon
Unsuspecting People, Five Hun
bred Lives Being Lost.

From Heppner Oregon, comes the
news of the most appalling disaster
that ever visited that. staIteI when
the little town of Heppner was almost
totally destroyed by a cloudburst and
probably 500 people drowned.
All telegraph and telephone wires
are down and no accurate information
can be received from the scene OF the
disaster, but from the reports at hand
it is believed at least 500 people have
met death, while the number may be
considerably larger.
Heppner is the county seat of Nor
row county, and had about 1900 inhab-
itants.
The calamity occurred at . p. M,
when a wall of water twenty feet high
rushed down the gulch in which Hepp.
ner is situated and carried everything
before It. The food came with such
suddenness that the inhabitants were
unable to seek places of safety and
were carried down to death by the aw-
full rush of water.
Almost the entire residence portion
of the town was wiped out, but some

BABY'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
10 Think About
Lives Of Suffering and

Assured by
CutiCura Soap, OintmentandPills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, dlsGguring hui
mours of the skin, scalp and blood,
becomes an object of the most tender
sollcltude, not only because Of It's suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the designation Is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence, it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cutlcura
Ointment, TO allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent, to
cool the blood in the severer cases, are
all that can be desired for the speedy
relief and permanent cure of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands, for annoy
ing irritations and weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptlc purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

a retriever and rendered clothing quite
needless. either for covering or for
warmth. A wavy black beard rippled
nearly to his waist over his furry

sweetness of his smile ard eyes"
