A SERIOUS

Last Friday afternoon Andrew Lar
son, who resides a few miles from
town was very seriously injured by
falling on the sharp edge of a disc.
1t appears he was at work in the field
when the horses became frightened.
AS he was getting off the machine the
horses started, throwing him on the
sharp edge of the knives. The most
serious injuries are around the lower
part of the abdomen. In addition to
several deep cuts, Mr.. Larson was
badly bruised and shaken up. 1t
will be several weeks before he will
be able to resume his work. Fillmore

Over 500 People Are Known to Have Lost
/" Their Lives.
Portland, Ore. June 15.-Follow-
ing a cloudburst, a wall of water
twenty feet high rushed down the
Gulch of Willow creek at dusk yes
terday and drowned half of the 1850
inhabitants of Heppner, Oregon.
The furious water carried the resi-
aences of Heppner away. So great
was the force Of the water that bould-
ers weighing a ton were rolled along
the. gulch, crushing everything in
their path.
Wires, bridges and railroa DIS were
swept away and complete reports have
not yet been received. Most trust
worthy reports tonight say that the
loss of life at Heppner will be at least
500, though the number of dead pro-
badly is larger. A report from lone,
II miles from Heppner, says that 800
bodies have been recovered. The
flood came with such suddeness that
the inhabitants were unable to seek
places of safety and were carried down
to death by the awful rush of water.
Some of the business parts of Heppner,
which is on high ground, escaped.
Early in the afternoon a thunder
storm occurred, covering a wide
region of country, and later a heavy
rain storm set in, many of the small
streams OVERLOOKING their banks in a
short time. Bridges were swept away
like straws, and the darkness of night
soon made the situation more ap-
palling. As soon as possible after the
flood subsidized the work of relief was
} begun by the survivors. Dozens OF
bodies we're found lodged along bends
of the stream, and in several places
they were piled two or three deep.
Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon twt
hundred bodies had been recovered
within the town. Many of the build
ings, which we're not carried away
were moved from their foundations O
toppled over. Hundreds of horses
cattle, sheep and hogs that had gon'
into the creek bottoms for water
lperished.

THEY KILLED IT

At Their Mass Meet1 lg--Pro1nls
 Gauzy-MajoIity With position
 Tie "mass" meeting called for Wednesday night last by the incor- porationiSts acted largely in the nature of boomerang. Nine tenths of those present manifested a strong hostility to the scheme and the arguments used by the only two speakers in favor of in- corporation were so greatly over- drawn and facts distorte to such an extent that incorporation was practically killed that evening.
 Mir. E. R. Brady was placed in the chair and MT. Huhn acted as secretary. MT. J. J. Dillon, re- cent arrival from Skagway and former city attorney of that place, addressed the meeting, speaking in favor of the scheme. Mir. Dillon said he had not expected to have been called upon, and as result was not at all prepared. He spoke for une hour and a half straight, and with but few exceptions held the floor for the entire evening. MT. Dillon finally offered to advise the council Ito be- gratis, and volunteered the information that he was the best informed lawyer on municipal affairs in Alaska bar none; had drawn up the act of congress of March ? of this year, and had prepared many of the or dinarces now in force in Skagway.
 The anti-incorporaticnists pre- .sented their objections through John Duncan, MT. Cnilson, Mr. Hu'ln, MT. WingAte, and maAy otue $. The rosy promises held out as bait by the incorporation clique were so badly mangled ana torn to pieces by the speakers against the scheme that Mr. Brady, the chairman, lost his head com pletely, and after publicly apolo~

The Universal Annie.

The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees of bearing age
in the United States at something over
2OO,OOOOOO. This is nearly three trees
to every person. These trees yield more
than 175.OO0O0O bushels Not all these
apples are consumed at home. for in
years of full crop more than 3,OOO,OOO
bushels go abroad. Yet. the apples kept
at home are more than two bushels for
every adult and child. We are a nation
of apple eaters. This fact may not be
to our credit, however. when we re-
member that good part of all these
apples are Ben Davis and other kinds
that refined and cultivated taste will
not choose for its dessert. Yet probably
half our people never raise an apple:
and Of the half who do raise them but
small percentage grows for market;
and Of those who grow for market. only
part make profit from the business.

which has made them reach out for
European ideas. whereas most Eastern
races have repealed the West or been
Indifferent to it. A recent writer on
Siam gives an account of the learning
of the King Of Siam who died in 1865.
He was a trained Oriental linguist,
and correspondent in fluent English
with many Englshmen Of distinction.
From the book by Mrs. Leonowens,
English governess at the Siamese court,

NOSE verse, to the columns Of a lively
New York contemporary, anent the alb

humane minds that it must come bit

wife with desire to initiate some of
her neighbors. to be deprived Of the
material comfort that churned cream
on good white bread can give, says the
Boston Star. Furthermore. it must add
to his misery to realize that just as
his prosperous condition will allow of
his buying the very best and fanciest
butter in the market he Is told he must
swear off and go without any Of the
golden accompaniment of bread at the
important meal of the day.
At least twenty social sermons could
be preached from this situation. Usu-

equanimity he can at least see his own
youngsters so schOoled that they will
not have to learn or pretend to learn

one bit of consolation.

ReCapture(l,

A fisherman in Norway, while wad-
ing through a heavy rapid, lost his
pipe. 1t was whirling swiftly off to
sea, and the owner looked at it for an
instant in despair.
On his line he had hy-bOb for sea
trout, and with a sudden thought he
cast accurately at the fast disappear
ing pipe. The fly whipped round the
stem. close by the bowl. and back into
the line again. He had his pipe.
Another man, while wading for
salmon, lost sleevelink at the head
Of the rapid. He hooked it on his
salmon-fy. and recovered 1t again at
the bottom of the same rapid.
A most curious recapture occurred
in Canada, in the Riviere Blanche The
angler had landed trout high and
dry on sloping bank. While the man
was busy the fish occupied itself in
Tapping about, and managed to get
back into the water. The man. with
no idea of succeeding, threw the line
savagely at the little creature swim
ming away. Instantly the trout rose,
took the fly and was once more landed.

BIG BATCH.
Mayor Humes, Chief of Police Sulli.

Men Indicted. ..Sh uffletOn, Furth
and Ex-t)ity Attorney Fulton
Among Them.

Seattle, March 31.-After a dramatic
scene in court, with no less than twelve
members of the local bar resorting to
every means in their power to prevent,
the grand jury yesterday afternoon re-
turned all the indictments which it has
voted during the past two weeks, in
GLIDING those against the mayor, chief
of police, both justices and other prom.
inent men of the community.
In all nineteen indictments were re-
turned, seven against petty offenders,
the publication of whose names is with
held, pending their arrest. Following
is the list of those made public:
Mayor 7. J. Humes, malfeasance in
office.
Chief of Police John Sullivan, NAL
feas nee in office.
Pt ice Judge George, failure to per-
form his sworn duty.
Justice T. H. Cam, extortion and
perjury.
Jacob Furth, obtaining valuable
property by fraud.
George U. Piper, perjury.
S. L. Shuffleton obtaining valuable
property by fraud.
Walter S. Fulton, failure to perform
sworn duty.
Charles F. Whittlesey, larceny Ivy
embezzlement.
p. P. Padden, larceny by emhezzle-
ment.
W. H. Whittlesey, larceny by EN-.
bezzlement.
Samuel Rosenberg, renting premises

The Indictment voted against Judge
Cam was for failing to satisfactorily
account to the jury Of the proper pota-
tion of $500 paid into his court by
Fred Gardner, clerk in the United
States attorneys Office in connection
with the issuance of warrant for a
woman in San Francisco. 1t is claimed
that Judge CAMS testimony relating
to the alleged transportation of the
fee incidentally established ground for
the charge of perjury.
Messrs. Furth and Shuffleton were
indicted for their connection with the
granting of light franchise to the lat
ter by the city council in the spring of
1902. Mr.. Furth, as president of the
Seattle Electric Company, acquired the
franchise Immediately after it had been
issued to Shnftleton. Several council
men testified that Shutfleton told the
municipal body that he applied for the
franchise for rival lighting corpora
ton, and not for assignment.
