BROWNS DESPITE ALL
EFFORTS AT RESCUE

Moro, ore, July S1.-A message by
telephone that man had fallen into
an irrigation reservoir near here and
was drowning, brought DIR. o. j. Gof
fin, of Moro, and Dr. Sam c. Slocum
of Portland, in borrowed automo-
bile three miles over a rough and
winding country road in a little less
than five minutes, late last Saturday.
When they arrived at the reservoir,
the body of the man, Charles G..
James of Arleta station, suburb of
Portland, who had been working on
the ranch of Ben Shull as harvest
hand, had not been recovered Search
ers could not locate the body in the
depths of the reservoir, which, held
back by a dam of rocks. dirt and
planks, was about 40 feet wide, 800
feet long, and IL feet deep.
James had gone into the water
near the dam and had been under
the surface about Is minutes when
the doctors arrived. In desperation
the searchers cast about for some
means of recovering the body before

'It's the only way to get the water
out and find the body"

braced by long pine supports. stood
across the lower end of the reservoir,
40 feet long and dozen feet high.
A man with an AK sprang at one of
the wooden braces and began to chop.
Then with drastic intensity the work
of demolishing the dam began. Men
worked with boards, stones and their
bare hands TO pry loose the braces
that kept the big wall in place.
They had been working about five
minutes and several of the braces had
been chopped or torn away, when the
dam began to creak and its top to
bend slowly outwards. run for your
lives" was the cry, and the workers
dashed from under the tottering struc-
ture as the dam gave way with o
crash.
