C, JUNE 26, 1903. $2 a Year Heppner, Oregon, Destroyed Instantaneously and 500 People Lose Their Lives. KINO l'KTER'N PROCLAMATION, Five hundred people lost their lives ln a cloudburst that almost Instantly destroyed the town of Heppner, Oregon, at 0 o'clock June 15. Heppner is the county seat of Morrow county, and had about 1,250 inhabitants. All the telegraph and telephone wires are down and no accurate information can be had, but the estimated loss of life is based on the most reliable reports received up to 12 o'clock last night. A report from lone, 11 miles from Heppner, Is to the effect that 200 bodies have been recovered. A messenger who arrived at lone said that a wall of water 20 feet high rushed down into the gulch in which Heppner is situated carrying everything with it. The Hood came suddenly, so suddenly that the inhabitants wore unable to seek places of safety and were carried down to death by the awful rush of _'-*ter. Almo.'t thn entire resident portion of the town was destroyed, but some of tho business part, which was on higher ground, escaped. Huge boulders weighing a ton were carried down by the current and many people were caught and crushed against the rocky bluff. Early In the afternoon a thunderstorm set many of tho streams overflowing their banks ia a. short time and bridges were swept away like straws. As soon as the flood had subsided tho work of relief was begun by the citizens of the town. Dozens of bodies woro found lodged along the bend of Willow creek, and in several places they were piled over one another. A late dispatch from Heppner says: "Willow creek, which on Sunday wiped out more than half of the town, has shrunk to the size of an innocent brook. About $500,000 worth of property is erased from the wealth of Morrow county. "A rigid emergency government impresses able-bodied men into the work of saving the town from plague-breeding disease. "Several thousand poisons have arrived from the outside, and an army of men and horses is turning over the debris. Women take charge of the bodies as they are borne out of the wreckage by the men. There is no time for ceremony in tho burials. The bodies are shrouded in coarse white clothes, placed In rough boxes, and hurried to tbo cemeteries on wagons. Medicines are not needed, neither aro physicians nor nurses. "The town must be cleansed to escape pestilence. It must have moro men to help in cleaning, and provisions to feed tho workers. Many families are entirely destitute, all their worldly possessions having beon carried away." Onco a Iluj*.

Malloy, Agent* Servia Congratulated But Asked to Mete Out Funlslunont to Thugs. The new Servian King telegraphed on the 17th inst. the following message to be proclaimed to his subjects: "Thanks to the favor of God and the will of the people, I am called to tho throne of my ancestors. I submit myself to the popular decision and today ascend to the throne of Servia. I consider it to bo my first duty to thank God for the favor accorded me, and I express the hope that the people will hail my succession as an event which will give Servia an era of repose, progress and order. I give my word to ro- spect the right acquired by all. I will be the protector of the legality and well being Of the peoplo. I call upon the heads of the church and the military and civil functionaries to retain their functions and execute them conscientiously. I declare that I banish from memory all acts committed during the past 40 years bearing upon mo. Every honest Servian will lind under my reign protection for his moral and material life. The motto of my dynasty is 'For the 6acred cross and cherished liberty.' It is with that motto assured of the attachment of tbe army and church that I aBcend the throne as Peter I, king of Servia." Following is the Russian note in brief published in the official Gazette: "The imperial government, while hailing tho election of the now monarch, scion of a glorious dynasty, and wishing all success, whieh he has so well begun, to the supreme head of the Servian people, whioh le ulliart to Jtut- sia by ties of religion, can nevertheless not refrain from expressing tho confident hope that King Peter will be ablo to give evidence of his sense of justice and firmness of will by adopting measures at the outset to investigate the abominable deed that has been committed and mete out righteous punishment to those traitorous criminals who have stained themselves with the infamy attaching to regicides. Of course, the entire Servian nation or army can not be hold responsible for tho crime, which revolts public conscience, vet it would be dangorous to Servia's internal peace not to cause expiation of tbe crimes. Such neglect would inevitably react in an unfavorable manner in tbo relations of all the states with Servia, and would create for Servia serious difficulties at the very commencement of tho reign of King Peter. "Thoir Russian coreligionists offer to God supplications for the repose of the bouIs of King Alexander and his cod- sort, who have met an untimely end, and they invoke the blessings of the Almighty on King Peter for the welfare and prosperity of the Servian people."

Thirty-four miners aro employed for| host thin, These Clever Entertainers Pleased a Ferguson Audience. It was decreed that tho annual June rains should bo delayed until Sunday and Monday of this week and thus prevent many peoplo from attending tho LaDell-Scott entertainment in Eagle hall. Those who did brave the deep mud and tho constant downpour of rain wero amply rewarded by hearing the best entortainment of tho kind that has ever been given in Ferguson. Without waiting to tell about the many people of quality whom sho had entertained in past days, as is customary with most entertainers. Miss LaDell on stepping from her dressing room opened the entertainment by a most clever recital of "Tho Burial of General Wauchoup." Her next selection was "The Dead Kitten," then "Delsartie." Toward the end of the programme she gave a selection called "Laddie" that took her listeners by storm and they showed an eagerness that betokened a unity of interest as word after word (lowed from the gifto'J elocutionists' lips and the sad story was unravelled. Hor next selection, entitled "Tho Old Days and the Now," was specially written for her by J. W. Ben- guugh.

His Eminence, the Most Rev. Ilor- bert Vaugban, Cardinal and Archbishop of Westminster, diod at midnight Friday. Cardinal Vaughan was born April 15, 1832. He became Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster in ISI-2. He had boen ill more than three months. Late in March it was thought he could not survive more than a fow days. The cardinal, who had boen sinking for some weeks from heart disease and dropsy diod peacefully. His death was uot expected so soon. On Friday Cardinal Vaughan was wheeled in a bath chair about tho corridors of St. Joseph's college, whioh ho founded. On Thursday he appeared in the college chapel in full cardinal's robos, and made a farewell address to his bishops and priests. New Stamp, for the Dominion. On Dominion Day the post olllco department at Ottawa will issue new postage stamps, and those who havo had an opportunity of seeing copies of them speak most approvingly, both of the design and workmanship. The stamps bear the likeness of tho King, copied from the latest portrait of His Majesty, being tho one painted since his accession to the throne and representing him in royal robes of scarlet und ermine and now in York houso, the London residence of thc Prince of Wales. In oaeh of thc upper corners of the stamp is a Tudor crown and in tho lower corner a maple leaf, with a numeral indicating the denomination of the stamp. The portrait of -the King Is a striking and admirable likeness of His Majesty.

Will Not He Recognized, On Juno IDlh, in London, Lord Lans- downc in the houso of lords, replying to a question by Lord Caniperdown. announced that Great Britain would not acknowledge the new government or tho provisional rule of Servia. mi doing so the government had yielded to none in its abhorrence of lhe most atrocious outrages ill the annals of history. The British minister nt Belgrade, Sir George Bankatu, has beeu instructed to absent himself from Belgrade until somo time after the accession of the new monarch, This attitude has also boen assumed by France, Germany and Italy, while Austria and l.ussia appeared prepared to acknowledge the new king. Whilo Great Britain could not usefully propose to undertake the task* of securing joint action of tho powers to secure thu punishment of tho perpetrators of the massacres, it was not intended to maintain ordinary relations with tho powers concerned ln the affair.

Whether or not the people believe Hon. Robert Green's election in this riding is a certainty we do not profess to know, but anyway there is not the usual interest that we have been accustomed to see follow a dissolu tion. Of course it may be thought that the time is premature and they are waiting; to see what material will be presented by the opposition in the form of a candidate. In former elections this district was included in the Revelstoke riding, now it is a part of the Kaslo riding and it will naturally tike some little time for tins electors to adapt themselves to the new order of things. Not until organization is complete and it meeting is held will there be much enthusiasm shown. In the Revelstoke constituency no less than four names have been mentioned as probable candidates for Ihe seat. First, and seemingly the most popular man, among those vhom we have heard mention the matter, is Mr. Thos. Taylor, the member who sat for this combined riding in the last house. Mr. Taylor is, of course, a Conservative, and was one of the three who were elected in the last general election as a parly man of the Conservative faith. He has said that he would prefer to drop out of politics for the present, but there is a disposition of the party leaders to press Mr. Taylor to accept nomination. Another name spoken of by the Conservatives is that of J. M. Scott, president of the Revelstoke association. J. M. Kellie is also mentioned as the probable nominee of the Liberals, and J. VV, Bennett will probably enter the contest on the labor or Socialist ticket. Star" in Rossland icamp; the "Neta" in Browns camp, and the "Queen of Spades" in Central camp, in the Boundary district.

CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM. [Adopted at Revelstoke, September 18th, 1902.1 1. That this convention reaffirms thc policy of the party in matters of provincial roads and trails; the ownership and control of railways and the development of the agricultural resources of the province as laid down In the platform adopted in October, 18S9, which is as follows; "To actively aid in tiie construction of trails throughout thc undeveloped portions of the province and thc building of provincial trunk roads of public necessity.

That a portion of every coal area hereafter to be disposed ol should be reserved from sale or lease, so that state owned mines may be easily accessible, if their operation becomes necessary or advisable. II. That in -he pulp land leases provision sliould be made for reforesting and that steps should he taken for the general preservation of forests by guarding against the wasteful destruction or tnnuer. 7. That the legislature and government of the province should persevere in the efforts to secure the exclusion of Asiatic labor, 8. That the matter of better terms in thc way of subsidy and appropriations for the province should bo vigorously pressed upon the Dominion government. 0. That the silver-lead Industries of thu province be fostered and encouraged by the Imposition of Increased customs duties on lead and lead products imported into Canada, and that the Conservative members ol the Dominion House be urged to support auy motion introduced for such a purpose. 10. That as industrial disputes almost Invariably result in great loss and injury both to the parties directly concerned and to tbe public, legislation should be passed to provide means for nn amicable adjustment of such disputes between employers and employees. 11. Tbat it is advisable to foster thc manufacture of the raw products of thc province within the province as far as practicable by means of taxation on the said raw products, subject to rebate of tho same In whole or part when manufactured in British Columbia.

The three claims owned by the company are the "Lardeau Queen," the "Lardeau King" and the "Lardeau Prince," all abutting end to end; through which three leads pass the entire length, situated at the head of Lexington creek, in the Lardeau mining division of West Kootenay, British Columbia. These three claims are located on the western slope of Goat Mountain, the lines being north-westerly and south-easterly, and form one complete portion of Mineral land of about 150 acres. They ho east less than four miles up from Fish river. The group lies fn the "Sitting Bull" and "Wild West" belts, two of the strongest and best known leads in that district, and work already done on apjaeont extentions has given most satisfactory results as to extent of ore bodies and increased values with depth. The formation is slate and (schist, lying in an immense lime dyke, and the cropplngs of the leads are generally topped with heavy iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 up on the surface. .)' VEINS AND WORK DONE, Exploitation consists of two open cuts along the surface for a distance e'f twenty feet, which exposed a body of argentiferous galena over 8 inches in width. The value of this ore body was $25,110 on the surface, but at a depth of less than three feet it has Increased to $40.80. To tap this ore showing and the massive iron capped ledge close to which lt lies the present tunnel was commenced and is now ln a distance of 82 feet. Another .25 feet of crosscutting should reach this ledge at a depth of about 125 feet. When (il feet had been driven, an almost'solid body of iron ore three feet thick was encountered in the tunnel lying against a wall of slate. A sample at this point assayed $77.00 in gold, silver, copper and lead. At a, distance of 14 feet from this lead a fine body oi ore has been encountered which, when crossed, proved to be seven and a half feet wide, carrying the finest looking mineral yet found on the property. A third ledge which contains the richest ore and widest surface showing, will be reached about July 1st. This ledgo when encountered, will be from 12 to 15 feot wide and great results are expected. The property has an excellent surface showing. The average assays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con- tinuancy of the leads across the country with such great width and prominence of the surface judging from other properties in the near vicinity, some of which are on the same lead and have developed very rioh ore bodies. In conclusion I would say that the Lardeau Mines are as good as any, if not the best, ln the vicinity, and I verily believe with a nominal expenditure, they should be made dividend paying in a short time, and I would strongly recommend extensive development toward that end, H.
