Meteor Seen Over Oregon Affects Newburg Residents
On last Sunday at about 12 20 pm Newberg churchgoers heard a loud rumble resembling distant thunder. The Oregonian described a massive daytime meteor seen over western Oregon, possibly five miles above earth, traveling toward the Pacific near Astoria. Professor Daniels estimated it weighed thousands of tons and measured hundreds of feet in diameter, likening it to the largest meteors known.

Locales see some damage, but settlers and small towns suffer most as patrols helped limit harm. A campaign by the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the People’s Institute seeks funds and supplies for the destitute in Oregon and Southern Washington, with requests for prompt aid information to reach those in need.
