There were stlll meveral wagonloads of dead on their WAy to the cemetery when 1 left. Heppner toelf has now been pretty well searched, except In plles of debris, where it is thought great numbers of bodies will be foune “Between lono and Heppner,” sald Mr. Conner, “there are great piles of debris, but the flood passed so quickly that the roads have not been seriously damaged. The rall- road track, however, from Lexington on is badly torn up. Tt looks strange to see the heavy steel rails bent and ‘wisted like corkscrews and the heavy timbors splin- tered like matchwood. In Heppner itself the flood swept a clean path a mile long and two blocks wide through the town, following sgenerally the course of Willow creek.” People Watel the Storm, PENDLETON, Ore., June 16.—Three men who survived the flood at Heppner have arrivedin this city. They are R. D. Ball, J. J. Kelly and A. P. Bradbury. They left the flooded city at noon yesterday, after having witnessed the destruction of the town and assisted in the rescue. Mr. Kelly sald: “The storm was some- thing fearful. It could be easily seen from the city. The people were gathered In their yards and on their porches to witness the display. ‘The rain was not falling in Heppner, but could be seen some distance away. Sharp flashes of lightning were accompa- nied by howling thunder. Then suddenly the thunderstorm died away and left an ominous silence. Then a low, rumbling noise was heard, very falnt at first, but growing louder. “The city is situated on Willow creek, ‘which makes & sharp turn above the eity. As the nolse grew louder and louder, the people became frantic. But in a moment the van of the flood burst into view around the curve of the creek, carrying in lts crest the cabing houses which stood in its path. Then they made a rush to the hills, buf were too late. The floods were upon them. “Tha little river, ordinarily ten feet wide and six. inches deep, In five minutes was transformed Into a roaring torrent, 400 feet wide and twenty fect deep. Houses were lifged fRom foundations and carried on the swirling waters. Resistance was impossi- ble. Evyerything was swept before the rush of the Nood.

PORTLAND, Ore., June 16.—A special to the Oregonian from lone, Ore., says: Davig McAtee, a business man of Hepp- ner, whose residence is on a benoh above Heppner, was an eyo witness of the dis- aster. In company with Frank Spaulding he left Heppner about 10:30 o'clock Sunday night on horseback. “On Bunday afternoon,” sald Mr. McAtee, “there had been a pretty severe rain storm, accompanied with much wind and lightning. 1 was standing in front of the house and noticed that a cloud of remarkable. dense- ness shrouded the top of the hill on the east side of the canyon. I turned for a moment, when a roar caused me to look again at the hill. I saw a wall of water, whose height 1 would be afraid to gauge, rushing down the mountain, carrying immense trees and timbers on its crest and tearing the very rocks from thelr foundations. ““The torrent struck tho upper part of the town first. The residence of Thomas How- ard was the first to fall and his entire family was drowned. In the Krug home also every person was drowned, as was the case In the Hale and Saling residences.” Continuing Mr. McAtee said: All of these houses were about four or five blecks above the business center. The residence of Abraham Hamsick was cn- trely demolished. The residence of G. A. Rhea was carried away and the entire family, consisting of wife and three daugl ters and Miss Adkins, a cousin, was lost. Mr. Rhea himself was absent in Portland C. 'B. Redfield, whose residence was com- pietely destroyed, was also absent and his wife and baby were drowned. All of the Wells family but two_were lost and the house carried away. ' With the Wells residence went the house of George Swaggert, Mr. Swaggert's two married daughters were drowned with their five children.

Treaty is in Doubt. Additional advices coming to the State department from various. sources respect- ing prospects of the ratification of Panama treaty by Colombla continue to be 80 confiicting as to leave the officials here In doubt as to the outcome. It is believed the weight of opinion in Colombia is averse to the ratification. The sentiment favoring ratification seems to be confined principally to the three provinces of Panama, Cauca and Antfoquia, which make up the Isthmus of Panama proper. The states in the inte- rior of the country, which would not be directly benefited by the development of the isthmian trade, according to reports, show slgns of increased opposition. , Walting to Hear from Conger. The State department is waiting further advices from Minister Conger before con- senting to the transfer from Shanghal to Peking the negotiations for a commerclal treaty between the United States and China. It is sald that the treaty is prac- tically complete In its commercial features, but that the deadlock is over the opening of Moukdon and other ports in Man- churia and under foreign influence oppos- ing such an opening, the Chinese are seek- ing to temporize by suggesting the treat- ment of that question in a separate agree- the | KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES PROMNPTLY CURED A Sample Bottle Sent FREE by Iall Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid- ney remedy, fulfills every wish in promptly curing kidney. bladder and urie acld troubles, rheumatism and pain in the back It corrects inabflity to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of Mquwor. wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of belng compelled to go often during the day and to get up many times during the night.

Hawail Wants Chinamen. F. P. Sargent, commissioner general of immigration, has returned to Washington from a long tour of inspection of immi- grant stations in the west, including Hono- lulu and the Canadian frontler. At Hono- lulu Mr. Sargent found a scarcity of labor on the sugar plantations. Experiments have been made with Portuguese, Porto Ricans and negroes from the United States, but all proved unsatisfactory. The planters insist that Chinese make ideal laborers in the cane flelds, though Japanese make fairly good field hands and some of them ultimately become skilled workmen. As a result many of them drift into the towns and villages, where they get' employment as blacksmiths, carpenters, helpers and drivers. The native Hawallans complain of this and say the Japanese are gradually usurping their places. The Chinamen, how- ever, stick closely to thelr work in the flelds, are rellable and in all ways satis- factory. They get about §0 cents a day, including a fairly good house to live in and firewood for cooking purposes. The planters will continue their efforts to se. cure from congress a modification of the Chinese exclusion act, which will allow them to import a sufficlent number of Chinese to work their plantations at a e Holds Up Oplum Act.

On the other hand it is pointed out that the jurors in the case of Curtls Jett and Thomas White are from another county and that a verdict of conviction may be possible.

When the commonwealth closed its testi- mony last week it was announced that it was because some of ite witnesses could not be found, among them John Smith and John Abner, charged with being in the con- spiracy with the defndants to get Marcum out of the way. The troops chased all over the mountains to find these witnesses for the prosccution, but in vain. it was the more noticeable that these same men were on hand for the defense today of thelr own accord and denfed emphatically the statements In the aMdavits of Marcum and Moses Feltner regarding plots and ef- forts to get Marcum out of the way. The defense today placed Dr. J. M. Kash on the stand. He testified that he saw Jett on the walk at the corner of the court house ten seconds before the shots were fired. Judge Hargis on Stand, County Judge James Hargls, an uncle of Jett and the reputed leader of the Hargls faction, said he saw White walk out of the courthoyse door gnd one-third across the street before the shot was fired. “When I heard the first shot I saw Ewen pitch out of the door and run. 1 then saw Marcum fall. I saw Judge Blanton ap- proach the wounded man. I saw Curt Jett approaching the scene of the tragedy.” He did not know who killed Marcum, but there were several ways in which an as- sossin might have escaped from the court- hous Cross-examined by Attorney Byrd, Hargls sald he saw nothing unusal in White's |dction when he came out of the door. “Did you see Jett anywhere when the shots were fired” asked Byrd. “No." Sheriff Callahan was In Hargis' store looking out of the window when the mur- der took place. He saw Ewen jump out of the door and run and Marcum stagger and fall. He saw Jett near the courthouse walk, at the corner. He sald he saw some one in the hallway of the courthouse, but could not tell who it was. He did not see White come out of the door, but saw him acros fense, admitted that he expected to get pay for testifying. John Abner, a brotter-in-law of White, denied any knowledge of conspiracy to murder Marcum, as alleged by Mrs. John- son. and denied that he cntered iInte any contract with Mose Feltner to gssassinate Marcum or that he furnished Feltner any money or gun. John Smith sald he was eighteen feet from the courthouse door and saw White come across the street toward the Hargls store, saw Ewen run and Marcum fall.

Spring wheat {s generally thrivipg. rovement is shown in Oregon, but 1n Washington it has experienced trying con- and cultivation injured. “Oats have made favorable ad- vancement in the lower Missouri and upper Misslssippi valleys Cotton continuex very backward, having mude slow growth under abnormally low temperatures. NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS Week Cold and Dry and Not Favor- able to the Growth of Win- ter Whent. LINCOLN, June 16.—(Special.;—ihe sum- mary of crop reports received at the cen- tral office of the climate and crop service | of the Weather bureau for the week end- ing June 15 is: The last week has been cool and dry. The dally mean temperature has averaged 11 degrees below normal in eastern countles and ¢ Cogrees below in western. Light frosts occurred in lowlands quite generally on the fth, 10th or 1ith; no injury resulted except in a few places in northern countles corn and garden vegetables were slightly damaged. The rainfall the last week has been light, generally less than a quarter of an inch The last week has been favorable for the srowth of small grain. Winter wheat in eastern counties is rusting considerably and some fields are heading unevenly. Oats and spring wheat have grown well and continue very promjsing. Planting, re- planting and cultivation of corn have pro- gressed rapldly during the week: planting 1s about completed, although some low land is still too wet to work. Most of the early planted corn has been cultivated, but many fields are still weedy; the condition of corn has improved, although it has been 00 cool for this crop to grow well. Pota- toes are generally very promising. Cher- ries are beginning to turn and will be a very small crop. First crop of alfalfa is being cut and the crop is generally below normél, having been damaged by wet weather. Light~ showers would be bene- | fictal in all seotions, as the soll has become dry and crusted on the surface. | Iowa Creps. DES MOINES, June 16.—Crop bulletin for week ending June 15, 1908: | The past week was cooler than usual. | the dafly mean temperature for the state ranging from elght to ten degrees below normal. There was about the normal amount of sunshine, with but little precipitation in form of light local showers In view of the previous saturated condition of the sofl, the weather conditions of the week were altogether more favorable than would have been a sudden chanze to hot and dry weather, resulting in encrusting the surface. The low temperature was tavorable for oats and spring wheat, check- ing the tendency to rankness of growth and damage by rust, and these crops are generally doing fairly well Work In the corn flelds has been vigor- {ously carried on, in planting, replanting | and cultivating.
