THE STORY GROWS WORSE.

The Dalles. Oregon. June ia tele-
phone message from lone states that
the latest find in the ruins in Heppner
indicates that the loss of life will be
much greater than was at first sup
posed. The casualty list will foot up
500 lives and many of the bodies may
never be recovered.
The property loss and destruction of
buildings alone will aggregate probably
a million dollars. This is regarded as a
conservative estimate.
One hundred and fifty of the best
residences were swept from the face of
the earth. Trees and everything stand
ing were razed and uprooted and the
debris is piled along the railroad track
to the height of freight cars. The re-
lief work is progressing at a satisfac-
tory pace. Among otner incidents of
the terrible catastrophe was the saving
of three lives by Julius Keithly, sew
enty years DID, who rode one mile and a
half on the roofs of houses and pulled
in three people from the flood.
a pail of devastation and death
hangs over the raZed homes and fran
tic. half-crazed people are charging
about the ruins hunting for loved ones.
Dozens of families have been wiped
out.
A force of seventy-fivP men are dig
ging graves on the hillside. Prompt
measures are being taken to prevent a
plague. The weather promises to be-
come hot and relief corps to clean up
the town is badly needed. Just how
far south the canyon was flooded is not
definitely known. Evidences seem to
point that for a long distance back
there was a similar disaster to that at
Heppner.
N. B. Gellatt. who lives nearly TWEEN
ty miles south, started in to aid the
sufferers as soon as he heard of the
disaster. He found that the waters had
destroyed property and lives for about
twelve miles southwark. Along the
road the scene was terrible. In places
the roadway was washed out six feet
deep and in other places rocks and
drift were piled up equally as high.
The destruction of property is fearful.
Farms are washed out. gardens de-
stroyed and every house near Willow
creek was brought down with the flood.

CRANK AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Wanted to Protest That Man Who

Washington. June 16.-AmOng. the

Peraian Athletes

Strong and skilled as western ath.
letes are, there are some respects in
which the athletes Of the east, and es-
pecially those Of Persia, surpass them
Their skill is due to the fact that
they do not rely on brute strength, but
on adroitness, which they have &C
quired after years of strenuous train
ing. They know the function of every
muscle in their bodies, and they are not
regarded as experts until they are sc
we'll trained that they can perform
with ease any feat which depends fol
success not only upon their strength
but also upon the proper play Of then
muscles.
They are not as bulky as some Of the
we'll known athletes Of Europe anG
America, but, on the other hand, theil
bodies are wonderfully symmetrical
and all their movements are mos
graceful.
In wrestling and swinging clubs the,
especially excel, and, no matter how
expert they may be, not day passes
that they do not practice for severa
hours.

The Bachelor,

a western editor pays this tribute to
q type which has not its fair share Of
song and story: 1.-THE bachelor repre-
sents the most sengenial and big heart
ed type of our commonwealth. His
name, while held in public derision by
a host of people, will always remain
closely interviewer in the history OF
pioneer life. He it was who pushed
out into the wild and woolly west at a
time when the buffalo, Indians and
coyote were lords of the prairies and
by persistent efforts and under priva-
ton and want led a heroic life by
converting vast areas of the barren
wilderness into fertile lands of peace
and plenty. Then, without aid of femi.
nine piety to keep vigil over his every
day acts, this sturdy empire builder
remained at his post, blazing out the
path Of fame and introducing thrift
and civilization in his wake. Like the
cowboy he is slowly passing into his
tory, but his fame is as farreaching as
civilization, his name indelibly stamped
on the pages Of history, while the hum
bic dugout with its original environ
ments will appear in scenic pictures
above the footlights of future genera
tions.''
