hEPPNER PEOPLE ALAR1ED.
A Great Rush of Water Comes Down
Willow Creek.

Heppner, Or, July IA big elec-
trical storm, accompanied by terrific
rain, occurred here last night. A great
downpour of rain commenced at little
before s o'clock and continued for an
hour. All of the people living on the
flats of Willow Creek moved to higher
ground.
At 10 o'clock rush of water with a
tremendous roar came down the Will
low creek Canyon, and in the black
ness of the night many people were
alarmed in fear OF another flood. Out
side of taking out few bridges, the
damage was small in Heppner. There
was considerable damage in the country
by the flooding of alfalfa fields and the
washing away of quite an amount of
hay along Willow and Hinton creek
bottoms.
The great flood of last year cleared
out the channel OF Willow creek, so
that the stream can now carry a great
volume of water without doing much
damage.
The railroad bridges between here
and Heppner Junction were damaged to
some extent and the train was unable
to make the regular run.

Army With Little Loss.
Toxic, July 11.--Late kilograms
from General Kuroki's headquarters at
the front show that the rains have not
stopped the working out of the japan.
ese plans, either in the interior of
Manchuria or at Port Arthur. The
tianl assault on the fortress is thought
to be very near, although there is
much work to be done in the way Of
constructing siege batteries. The Rus
slams have abandoned the outer po-
sitions, after great deal OF fighting,
and have strengthened their main de-
lenses.
Japanese correspondents allowed to
send dispatches reveal the skill with
which the generals maneuvered their
columns 80 as to capture the mountain
passes between the Yula and the Lao
valleys without heavy loss and with
out riskaing the least temporary con-
fusion in their extended line OF batte.
General Oku's forces pressed north
ward and west until they cleared the
lofty ridge east of Kaiping. This de-
prived Kuropatkin's men in the de-
files of their mountain shields, and
compelled the Withdrawal of their sup
ports to check Oku's army. There
upon the armies of Feng Wang Cheng
and Takushan, availing themselves OF
such fianking opportunities as local
conditions allowed, forced the enemy
out Of their strongholds down upon the
plain Of Lao Yang.

RUSSIAN POSITION BAD.
Japanese are Assured of Command Of
the Llao River Valley.

st. Petersburg, July IS. - With
pressure on two sides, if the Japanese
have any serious intentions of pushing
home their advance in the direction of
Mukden, General Kuropatkin's po-
sition would seem decidedly dangerous.
Their northern advance posts are at
Taidin and Siao Syantai. Whether
the japanese operations will be pressed
in the face of the rainy Feason, which
is not regarded as probable here, the
japanese seem assured of the command
of the mouth of the Lao river valley,
which will give them new base with
two railroads, one direct to Mukden and
the other to the Sinminting river and
the imperial high road. The Sinmin-
ting road opens vast possibilities for
hanking, if an advance is begun at the
end of the rains.
Severe fighting is not improbable
north of Ia Tche Kiao, but the belief
is growing that General Kurokatkin
does not intend to accept general en-
gagement at this time.
Additional details of the Hoiyan
fight of July A describes the Russian
bayonet charge as being the most bril-
liant incident of the war. japanese
and Russians were found dead in the
trenches with their bayonets through
each others body.

LOSS OF KINcnoU coNFIRmHD.
General Sakharoif Sends Account to the
General Staff.

st. Petersburg, July lS.-Lieutenant
Gneral sakaharoff in dispatch to the
general staff, confirms the report Of the
japanese occupation OF Kaichou. He
says that the Russian loss did not ex-
ceed l50 killed or wounded. General
sakharoff adds that they are on the
Yinkow road.
"Our detachment remained during
Jdly at Kaichou station, having its
advance posts on the right bank Of the
kantkhe river, the enemy occupying
the heights on the left bank and forth
flying themselves thereon" says Gem
eral Sakharoff. Our battery on the
river bridge opened fire at the enemy's
patrol which appeared in Kantakhe
village, Toward noon fusilade oc-
curred between a detachment of the
enemy and our company, which OBJ
served the enemy retiring. Our losses
were six wounded.
Toward the evening OF July the
enemy's force, consisting OF four di-
visions and brigade, could be made
out in front of Kaichou, extending
along the seashore. AT dawn, July 8,
the enemy resumed the offensive upon
the lear guard OF our detachment,
which retired about $50 in the morn
ing from Kaichou to 21e miles north
ward, toward the Shauanlusa Pass.
"At 10 o'clock, under heavy pres
sure our rear guard retired on our posi-.
tion at Makhunts Guiga and Yaolintas,
three miles north of the Shuanlunsa
Pass. The rear guard held this po-
iition under heavy fire until 2 o'clock
N the afternoon, when, in accordance

Cloudburst Sweeps Away Business POr-
tlon OF Mitchell, Oregon.


Mitchell, Ore, July IA wave Of
water from rs to 80 feet high swept
down Bridge and Mil creek canyons,
which converge just above town, and
destroyed a great portion of this place
about 6 O'Clock last night. Warned
by storm of unusual violence, accom-
panied by brilliant electrical display,
all escaped, so far as known, but
Martin Smith and Mrs. Bethune. They
we're caught by the food and drowned.
The main portion of Mitchell lies in
a narrow canyon. A storm OF unusual
severity had ragged in the hills during
the afternoon, and the inhabitants,
mindful of the disaster to Heppner a
year ago, betook themselves to high
ground along the side of the canyon.
About 6 o'clock the roar of the flood
could be heard, growing louder with
the great waves nearer approach.
The crash as the great mass of water
struck the first buildings was deafen-
ing, drowning the shrieks of terror of
women and children as they strove to
climb still higher out of harms way.
Far down ahead of the yellow mass rode
a messenger on horseback warning
those still further down the stream OF
impending death.
The buildings in the path of the
food were swept away like SO much
brush. Of over a score scarcely
yestige remains, save where shattered
boards and timbers are caught on trees
and bush, far below the town site.
The business portion Of Mitchell was
not greatly damaged, being built on
ground above the reach of the main
force of the torrent.

Anti. Christian RIots.

London, July 13.-The Cheefoo cor

patch says: The American consul gen.
eral, John Fowler, received news last
night that anti-Christian riots have
broken out at Chao Yuen, about 65
miles from west of Chefoo. Immedi-
ate assistance was asked. The Taotai
dispatched troops and telegraphed the
authorities at Hwang Hsien and Teng-
chou Foo also to send assistance il re-
quired. Foreigners are not believed
to be in danger. The cause Of the riots
is not known.
