tion by flood since the day of its found
alton. All that was needed. to turn
the mountain creek, by which II was
built, into an irresistible torrent were
the necessary atmospheric conditions
For many deys past the warm air OF
the Pacific has been drafting steadily
landward. without counter-currents or
any varying Of It's course, and IL has
been checked and forced upward Into
a colder atmosphere by the mountain
walls of the Coast and Blue Ranges
An enormous amount Of moist air was
thus drawn from the adjacent ocean
and the excessive precipitation which
followed formed the cloud burst that
destroyed Heppner.
Rain Is caused, as mist and fog are
caused. by the meeting OF two cur
rents of air, one warm, one cold. The
moisture OF the warm air Is condensed
into a cloud, and in many cases, rain
at once follows.
Rain is also caused by the rushing
of warm lowland air up a mountain
side. Some of the heaviest rains
known In any part of the world arc
on mountains, especially on noun
tains which are not remote from the

which means nearer approach to satur

ness. Hence, too, 1t means unusually
heavy downfalls of rain, or what arr
