Quo 11 unci ret I and Fifty of the ltest Residences Swept Away - Number of Victims is Fully Five Hundred. The Dalles, Ore., .June 10, ? A telephone mcssugo from lone states that the latest find in the ruins of the Ileppner indicates that the loss of life will lie much greater than at first supposed. The casualty list will foot up 500 and many of the bodies will never bo recovered. The property loss and destruction of buildings alone will aggregate probably a million dollars. This is regarded us a conservative estimate. One hundred and fifty of the best residences were swept from the earth. The debris is piled along the railroad track to the height of freight cars. Hio relief work is progressing at a satisfactory pace. .lames Reman, the Oregon Railway and Navigation company agent, met his death at tlio telegraph key trying to call Portland to inform the outside world of the impending calamity.

His wife and two children climbed iuto tho upper rooms. Below town it crossed tho creek to the west side, where it lodged in debris 150 yards from the canyon bank. Shuter then took his two little ones and swam a hundred yards. He landed tho children and then rescued his wife. Seventy-live men are digging graves on the hillside. Prompt measures are being taken to prevent a plague. The weather threaten to become hot and a relief corpse to clean the town is urgently needed.

In addition to the bodies of seven Chinose, three Japanese and til strangers and babies, names unknown, go to swell the list. Klias Connor, a stock raiser of lone, returned from Heppner at 2 o'clock this morning. He left the scene of the disaster at H o'clock last night. "It is known," said Mr. Con* nor, 'that at least 27b or HOO people were drowned, 125 corpses have been hastily buried in wooden boxes and some were merely wrapped in blankets.

Iloppner itself has now been pretty well searched, except in piles of debris, where it is thought great number of bodies will be found.
