Heppner was a thriving, hustling little city of approximately 1500 souls Its location is most unfortunately ad* vantageous for the destructive force of su< li a Hood as was poured upon it. The town is built on the banks of Willow creek, in the neighborhood of the converging point of four other mountain streams that drain a large area of rolling and hilly country that reaches from three to miles to th-3 foothills, and along the course of Wil low ci efc itself for a distance of 25 miles to the base of the Blue moun tains. Willow creek and its confluents have a general northerly course. To the west ami the east of the town, running southwest and southeast re spectively until they empty into Wil low creek, are two deep gulches, which run back some three miles among tiie foothills, as they narrow to form the valley in which the town has nestled in peace for so many years. Flowing almost directly south to 'he Willow, and joining but a half mile or so above the town, is Bairn creek, which drains in its course to the foothills, for a distance of 15 miles, a wide region of hilly country; next east comes the main of Willow creek, with an immense area of drainage that extends north east for a distance of 25 miles to the Blue mountains. Farther east yet, some four miles or such a matter, is Hinton creek, that runs practically parallel with Willow creek for a dis tance of 2" miles, having its rise in the foothills, and entering into the (Continued on Page Four). 2 Advertise —Its money in your •J- pocket, its an investment that J 4 brings returns if your ad is in J an evening paper.

Inter Stite Items WASHINGTON j Afo IDAHO UNJUST POLICY OF DARLING. Particular Pains Taken to Discrimi nate Against Bremerton. Washington, D. C—Judd P. Fuller, publisher of the Seattle Bulletin, is in Washington on his way home from a trip to New England and New York, in the course of which he investigated conditions near the navy yards at Charlestown, .Mass., and Brooklyn, ami verineo the contention that Brem erton has been discriminated against by Assistant Secretary Darling in his recent boycott on the Puget Sound yard. "I took particular pains to inves tigate conditions near the Charlestown yard when in Boston.'* said Mr. Ful ler, '"and my observations lead me to beli. ye that Bremerton was grossly discriminated against by the navy de. partment. "Within one hundred feet, of the gate ot the Charlestown yard I found a (duster of saloons and there are at least fifty to .sixty places where liquoi is sold within the immediate neigh borhood o' the yard. Workmen am! sailors from ships cannot go to or from the yard by any street without passing a number of saloons all li censed by the city. "Practically the same conditions prevail near the Brooklyn yard. I don't know how many saloons there are there, but in going to and from the yard I noticed that workmen, sailors ami marines have no trouble in getting liquor, because there seemed to me more saloons than other business houses in that neighborhood. "The saloons, none of which is of the best, or highest class, are as near to the gates of the yards as those on Front street. Bremerton, and no effort is made by the navy department to clear them away, nor to make the cities concerned deny them licenses. "Government employees are exposed to just as much temptation there as in Bremerton and I can't understand why the department should have singl ed out Bremerton as a target for its malice. "I believe in proper regulations for tiie liquor traffic and that government employes should be protected from the vicious element, but I do not see why the department has made fish of one town and flesh of another. "I am pleased to read in The Times however, that saloons in Bremerton have been closed as this will give the department no chance to discriminate against Bremerton in the future." ARMY OFFICER IN CIVIL COURT. Criminal Charge Filed Against Lieut. Bushfield. Seattle. —Lieut. Llewellyn N. Hush field, of the Seventeenth infantry, has now a criminal charge laid at his door by the civil authorities. Prosecuting Attorney Scott swore out au informa tion charging Bushfield with having forged a check for $M.">, drawn on the First National bank at Denver. The name attached to the cheek is S. A. Campbell, a brother officer, and it was cashed by E. P. G-affney, one of the proprietors of the Hotel Cecil. Lieut. Bushfield has been recently tried by court martial on a number of charges, including embezzlement of the company funds and the opening of mail not addressed to him. He was arrested and released on parole, but broke his parole and was recaptur ed on his way to Vancouver. H. and thence, it is believed, to the Orient. The money for this trip was furnish ed by a woman of the underworld, and it has recently come to light that she also figures among Bushfield's victims. It is alleged that he induced her to cash one of his own checks for $250, which was returned for lack of funds, and he is also stated to have made away with and pawned sonic of her jewelry. He has also pawned all his own .jewelry, including his class ring. It is probable that still another charge of forgery may be laid at Bushfield's door. When he first got into trouble he wrote to the proprietor of a prominent hotel in this city which he had been in the habit of frequent ing, and asked for assistance. The hotel man immediately mailed him a letter containing some good advice and a check for $75. The letter had not been in the post more than an hour or two when the sender of the check was notified by his bankers that a check for $-"»o. presented by Bush field. and purporting to have been signed by Campbell, had been return ed from Denver unpaid. Lieut. Camp bell used to live in Denver, but on leaving there closed out his bank ac count, and it is stated that he knows no more of this check than of the one cashed by Mr. G-affney. On finding that he had been made a victim of a confidence game, the ho telk/ H money, :oid we send you free trial bottle if you write for it. costs 25 cents and will cure Con sumption.

Karl's Clover Root Tea corrects the Stomach ASKS FOR DAMAGES. Outgrowth of Recent Criminal Action In Tacoma. Tacoma. —Mrs. Jennie Wood will begin a suit for heavy damages against Assistant County Prosecuting Attor ney Walter Harvey and Mrs. A. C. Little, wile of the former state fish commissioner. A. C. Little. The dam age suit comes through the recent scandal in which Mrs. Wood and Mr. Little were both arrested and thrown in jail at the instance of Mrs. Little, who alleged they were gui'ltly of crim inal intimacy. At the time of the ar rest Mr. Little had just returned from a long trip, and was found by the offices at his office. Mrs. Wood alleges that Constable Garrett arrest ee her at her rooms, in the Mason block, and that, through the conniv ance of Mrs. Little and Mr. Harvey. Charles Little, a minor son of Mr. Little, was induced to enter her room with the officers, and opened her trunk and broke into the strong box containing her private papers, letters, steeks and other valuable documents ami that these were carried off. Whin she threatened to make trouble for Mr. Harvey, she says, either he or Mrs. Little sent the boy back t her apartments with the stock letters and other documents. She be gan gui stioning him about how the property came into his possession, ami upon discovering, turned bin. over to the chief of police. In the meantime, she asserts. Mr. Harvey had gotten wind of the affair, and order, d Chief Fackler not to hold the boy. The boy was released before >he had gotten her papers, and only pari of them, she alb ges, have so far been returned. Her apartments, she declares, were searched without the issuance of a warrant, and without process of law. Either Mr. Harvey or Mis. Little, she declares, still has possession of con siderable mining stock belonging to herself, and many letters ami other private papers valuabel to her.

Joseph Hint/., a miner, was found dead in a room over the Lobby saloon, on Third avenue and Cherry street. He was lying on the floor, with blood on all sides of him. and appeared to have struggled to reach the door after realizing his condition. Bintz had been drinking for the past two weeks. In his room were found fourteen empty pint whisky bottles and five empty quart bottles. A bloody razor was discovered on the man's bed. Bintz probably cut his throat early in the morning. About 1 o'clock the sound of a fall was heard in the room but it was not until late in the after noon that the proprietor of the place. Kd. Swanson, opened the door of the dead man's apartment. Previously the chambermaid and landlady had peeped in. under the impression that the man was sleeping. Swanson, according to the story he told, found the body on the floor with the head turned towards the door. He at once notified the police and De tective Lane was sent to investigate. The body was removed to the Bonney- Watson morgue. Bintz had roomed in the house since May 30. The last seen of him was on Friday, when he asked for a pitcher of water. Investigation by Coroner Hove showed that there were two deep cuts on each side of the throat and a lighter cut over the windpipe. Bintz wore the lothes of a laboring man. j and looked as if he had been on a tear ever since he struck the city. YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO BUY ..NOW.,. They are going like hot cakes and will soon he gone.

Seattle—Three dairymen of this city in a few days probably will he compelled to appear in court to plea I to a charge of committing the mis demeanor of selling to their customers milk adulterated with formaldehyde. City Inspector of Milk L. ML Wood cock has several times warned the dairy proprietors and milk peddlers of the vicinity of the penalties and dangers of this violation of the law. and this week he started in to make a systematic investigation of all the milk wagons having routes in the city. Warrants will be issued, according to the inspector, for the arrest of the following dealers, whose samples showed the presence of the preserva tive: W. Partian, of the German dairy, on Seventh avenue; E. V. Garland] of the Empire dairy, of Georgetown] and F. T. McCoy, of the City dairy] on Fourth avenue north. The penalty for the offense with which the dealers are charged is a line of from $'2.> to $50 or iinprisonmem for from thirty to ninety days. To allow no opportunity for the es cape of the offending dealers, the in spector stopped the wagons of the dealers on the streets and there took samples of their loads. These sam ples, in all cases where the slightest doubt existed, were submitted to the city chemist for analysis. Of eighty samples examined, only three were found to be impure, but in these three cases the chemist reported the pres ence of a deleterious quantity of for maldehyde. Indeed, it is stated by Inspector Woodcock that th.- use of any quantity of this chemical, which is employed to prevent the milk from turning sour, for an unnaturally long period will prove injurious at least to infants and young children. The milk inspector and the sanitary! inspectors request that any citizens experiencing or learning of any j breach of the rules of the health de part ment, or any unwholesome condi-I tion of food or surroundings, write j or telephone at (nice to the office of the board of health, in order that al! such cases may be regularly ascertain ed and investigated. Where impure or adulterated milk is found such act ion is especially important, as the in spector cannot personally visit all portions of the city except at inter vals. The stringy condition of milk or cream, however, of which the de partment has received several com plaints, is not dangerous to health, and is caused solely by lack of clean liness in the vessels or surroundings in which the milk is kept, except in rare cases, where it may be caused by some peculiar food of Which the cow has eaten.

C —Andre Chera dame, associate editor of L'Eclair of Paris, was arrested in Alexandria, charged with violating the Jim Crow law. M. Cheradame was on his way to visit the tomb of Washington. He occupied one of the seats reserved for Potomac to the Virginia side a n >gro boarded ii and demanded the seat. The conductor tried to explain the law to the Frenchman, but he could not understand English am! refus. d to give up his .-eat. When the train arrived in Alexan dria tne conductor called a policeman and M. Cheradame was escorted to the station. No one at the station understood French, and all they could get from Cheradame was that he "was on ze way to visit ze tomb of Washington." The mayor was finally notified of the arrest." and when the circumstan ces were explained, he ordered the re lease of the distinguished Frenchman. M. Cheradame took his detention very coolly anil when notified that he was free insisted on shaking hands with all the officers at the station and requested the privilege of taking a photo of them.

More lives were lost in the Heppner disaster Sunday evening within a few minutes' time than were lost -lurinc the week or longer that Topeka, Kan sas City, St- Louis and other towns in the Central West were suffering from the overflow of great rivers. At first exaggerated reports were sent out re garding th..- loss of life at Topeka ami Kansas City. Kansas, hut it is now known that the total loss of life did not exceed fifty. At Heppner the loss of life was probably at least 250 and it may reach 300. If the town had been as large as Johnstown. Pa., the loss of life would have been fully as great as in the catastrophe that over took that city in 1889, and in all prob ability would have been greater, as Johnstown was given warning while Heppm r had no chance whatever to escape from th- sudden disaster tha T ram. npon her almost like a f lap of thunder from a dear sky.

June 16.—Another anthracite strike was averted by the Mine Workers' convention this morn ing by endorsing the action of the exe cutive board in electing miners rep resentatives in the hoard of concilia tion. When the meeting was called the delegates were slow in assembling and there was a noticeable falling off in strike talk. The committee on grievance.- carefully guarded its re port until after the convention was called to order. When i; was an nounced that if had endorsed the exe cutive committee's appointments on the board of conciliation there were some small objections but they were speedily overcome. The acceptance of the peaceful solution seemed to cause genera] relief among those pres ent. The convention adjourned until 2 this afternoon. In the meantime they will communicate with representatives of the mine operators to learn wheth er they will now recognize Nichols. Fahey and Duff, v as the miners' rep resentatives on the conciliation board. When tiie convention reassembled Mitchell announced that he had a tel egram from President Baer represent ing th.- anthracite operators announc ing that he was willing to abide by the action of the convention and recog nize the district presidents as bona fide members of the board of concilia tion. The announcement (rented a pandemonium of cheering which last ed five minutes. Mitchell was com pelled repeatedly to bow thanks for what was in reality a personal ovation he having advised and carried all his points to a successful termination. A session ef jubilation followed in whicb congratulatory speeches and songs followed in rapid succession. All danger of trouble is now past ami the board of conciliation will meet in a few days to pass on ail disputed points.

The Yenny warehouse in Baker street was badly twisted and telegraph poles and trees were knocked down in that vicinity. The presidential arch in Main street went by the boards at 7 o'clock. Its destruction was watched by a hundred people on the streets. The debris was allowed to remain in the street today. At the corner of Pleasant and How ard streets several huge balm trees were levelled in the street and inter rupted travel until this morning, when workmen chopped them out. Broken trees and fences are report ed from all parts of the city where the gale almost reached the proportions of a cyclone. George LaDue residing in Fern avenue had a narrow escape from a failing tree. Several trees on his place were stripped of huge limbs.

Hollar re turned to Santa Rosa a few days ago from the mines of Glenn county and found that the wife he left behind here some three years ago had in the meantime become the wife of an things suggested that she could not be lawfully wedded. He reckoned without the divorce court, however, i and his former wife is legally Mrs. .Nelson Marble, wife of one of Napa's j most respected citizens. "I am very much surprised to hear that Mr. Hollar has turned up. He left me three years ago next month.*' i said .Mrs. Marble today. "We were living in Santa Rosa at the time. I did not know where he went to and did not hear from him for two years. I moved to Mount Bullion, Mariposa county, and there I got a divorce. The summons was published in the Mari posa papers. 1 do not know what pa per. A copy of the summons was mailed to Woodland, as that was the j last place 1 heard he was. After 1 got the divorce 1 received a letter fell ing me that he was dead. The let ter was net signed and the postmark was so blurred that I could not make; Out where it was posted. T suppose now that he sent nae the letter for some purpose." The Hollars moved to this citj from Green Valley. One Saturday night Hollar returned to his resi lience on Spencer avenue, and when he found that his wife and daughter had gone to San Francisco for a visit he was very angry and forthwith sold the household furniture and left. When .Mrs. Hollar and her daughter returned to Santa Rosa and found what had happened they were great ly surprised. Some three months ago she was married to Mr. Marble in Xapa. At the time of the wedding she believed that she had not only the decree of divorce from Hollar, but that she was a widow in the full meaning of the term. It is stated that since Hollar went to the mines he has accumulated some money. lAt the Washington etation.) —"De- lighted to be back again. How many have been indicted while I was away?"
