RAIN STORM
AND CLOUDBURST
Near Mitchell, Or, Accompanied
BY Loss of Life and Great
Destruction of Property
VERY AGED COUPLE DROWNED.
We're Past Ninety aud Could Not
Take Themselves to a Place
Of Safety.

Portland, or, july ia special dis
patch TO the Telegram from Fossil In
Wheeler county gives meager partlcu-
lars ~ a cioudburst accompanied By
loss OF life and great damage 20 proper
~, which occurred near Mitchell. In
Wheeler county last night Two lives
were lost Mrs Bethune. a woman
aged 30 years, and Martin Smith, aged
81 years being swept away in the Hood
and drowned They were too old TO as
sist themselves to a place Of safety,
and were beyond the rescue Of stronger
people. In all IS houses In Mitchell
were destroyed, and In addition several
large barns, one continuing 30 horses,
were swept away,
From the very brief dispatch received
at Fossil over the telephone from Nit
chell Il Is learned that terrific RAIN
storm occurred in the mountains back
Of Wheeler yesterday evening causing
Bridge and Mill creeks to become bank
full, and overlooking the lowlands along
their courses. The two creeks unite
several hundred yards above Mitchell
and the converglng OF the rushing wa
tiers created a wall Of water 90 feet high
which swept down toward Wheeler, In
a mad rush, sweeping everything before
IT, Fighting its way through the resi-
dental portion Of the town 1t swept
more than a score OF houses from its
path and passed on TO the lowlands be-
yond. Though the warning OF the
foods coming was brief, the inhabi-
tants We're aroused to their danger In
sufficient time for most Of them to
reach high land, out OF harms way
from the flood So far az known, all
but two Of the inhabitants escaped, but
the future may reveal the loss Of sew
eral lives. The food, fortunately swept
down ON the town at a time when many
people were IN the business section, 9TH
erwise the loss OF life would have been
much greater The property loss will
be heavy, but il is impossible with the
! few details at hand, to estimate with
| any accuracy, the financial losses caused
| by the food.
During the past week or 10 days
| eastern oregon has been the scene of
| many clOudbursts and rains OF unusual
| character. Farms have been flooded
| IN several sections and great damage
| has resulted. Wheat and fruit crops
| have been entirely or partially des-
troyed and I'm the lowlands alfalfa
| crops have been ruined. The cattle
| counties have been particularly unfor-
tunate IN this regard, and stockmen
report condition OF affairs which
| gives cause for some anxiety especial
| ~ II the phenomena continues. But on
| the other hand cattle viii be greatly
| benefited by the rains In some sections
where feed on the ranges had become
short owing TO the unusually dry SUM
| mer.
