Frank Mcfarland, who was at Pendle-
ton at the time of the storm, made the
trip to Heppner by train. Mr.. McFar-
land says the storm swept a path
through the city three and four blocks
wide and a mile long. The Redfeld
residenced which he once owned was
entirely destroyed with all the family
except the husband, who was in Port
land. Many of Mr. McFarland's neigh
bors also lost their lives, and the sight
he beheld on reaching the city was
something awful.

Barbed Wire Fences did the Work.

"The barbwire fences SO numerous in
the city of Heppner did more to make
for big death roll in the recent cloud
burst than anything else, said Frank
Chandler on his return from the stricken
city. "Miles and miles of wire can be
found in the debris. This was torn
loose by the food and people caught by
the wire had no possible chance of es-
cape.
"Another thing that struck me as
strange was the fact that the Heppner
people should build their houses as they
did on the low land. / lived in Iowa a
good many years, and there heavy storms
and washouts are of so common an oc-
currence that local papers seldom chron-
icle them. But in that country people
never build in hollow between hills as
did the Heppner people. Such storms
come and pass off and no lives are lost,
because precaution was taken in locating
town and in building houses.
"If Heppner had been built further
from the creek bed, the loss of life in the
recent storm would certainly have been
greatly lessened.

MoOEsTY, OF THE GREAT.

maidstone and Darwin Felt Them
selves "0rdinary Persona"
In "Studies In Contemporary Biogra-
ply" by James Bryce, there occur two
stories which caused some Of the critics
to express establishment at the mod
esV Of the great" The stories are
these: I:
Meeting Mr.. Gladstone In the lobby
and seeing his face saddened by the
troubles in Ireland, Mr.. Bryce tried to
divert his thoughts by mentioning q
recent discovery-to wit, that Dante
had been saved from want in his last
years By lectureship at Ravenna. Mr.
Gladstone's face lit up at once, and he
said, How strange 1t Is to think that
these great souls, whose works are a
beacon light to all the generations that
have come after them, should have had
cares and anxiet1es to vex them in their
daily life just like the rest Of us COM
mon mortalsr
The words reminded me-" adds the
author, that few days before had
heard Mr.. Darwin, in dwelling upon
the pleasure visit paid by Mr.. Glad
stone had given him, say. And he talk
ed just as If he had been an ordinary
person like one Of ourselves The two
men were alike unconscious Of their
greatness" ,s
Ii. It is only the, little who think them
selves great They are like those who
do not know much and therefore i'm
ag1ne that there is not much to know.
The great do not think themselves so,
just ais the learned are overwhelmed by
their ignorance.

M Snake In q Street Car.


The snakes with which I have gen.
orally associated have mostly been the
little chaps. such as the lively two foot
garter snake that 1 had in a Kansas
City street car one day. I had picked
him up in the suburbs of the city, and
before taking the car back to the bust
ness section Of the town I buttoned
him in the inside pocket of my coat.
Now, anybody who has ridden over
the streets Of Kansas City knows that
in places it seems as though the cars
were climbing up the roof Of a barn.
When l got on the car it was full, and
so had to grab a strap in order to
stand up. Presently a seat became va
cant beside me and l sat down. AS l
did SO glanced up and there was my
poor little snake hanging to the strap
I had just left. Various other people
noticed him at the same time, and the
ensuing exhibition would have enabled
any person in the car to secure a job
as circus acrobat at a handsome SAL
airy. After they had escaped l put
the snake back in my pocket. The
conductor was hero and stuck to his
post, but he put me off the car and
kept my nickel.-W. S. Dunbar in Out
Ing
