Milton Sends Vegetables. Milton sent nearly a carload of preen vegetables to Hepimer yesteiv day afternoon. The crowd of labor ers at work In clearing up the debris consume about a ton of provisions each day and the demand for fresh vegetables is very great. Milton Labor Not Wanted. Milton, Or., June S3. A message was received yesterday evening, Just before the relief party expected to leave for Heppuer that their services would not be needed just at present. This party was organized at the re quest of Heppnor and the message was a surprise to all. Every person returning trom Heppuer says the need of men Is very great. Many miles or untouched debris yet remain In the valley and the work of clearing It up will consume the greater por tion of two weeks. The party has been organized at considerable ex pense and trouble to the people hero and while it is not yet disbanded, there seems to bo no further need of remaining organized. The party Is yet ready and willing to go, upon in timation that It Is needed. To Swell Relief Fund. Andy King, lightweight champion of Montana, and Tom Scott, light weight champion of Pendleton, have agreed to give a clean, Interesting flstlc exhibition for points, on July 4, 25 per cent of the proceeds to go to the Hepimer relief fund.

J.eiullntf DrtiKirlHtK Tuo o.egon fully Journal can be found on sale at Frazlcr's book store WORK OF STATE BOARD OF HEALTH AT HEPPNER. ! . . Fire and Alkali Used to Deodorize ana Purify Difficult Work of Opening the Drains and of Forestalling Epi demic During the Past Weeks The Sewerage System of the City Had Been Completely Wrecked. Dr 0. J Smith hns returned Irom his trip to Portland nnd Heppnor, where ho went In the Interest of the state board of honlth. At the meet ing at Portland the stnte board pro vided for tho by-laws of the bonrd and proscribed the duties of the various subordinate officers of the boaru throughout the state, but the meeting wns cut short Hint Dr. Smith might go to heppnor, where the conditions induced by thu flood demanded his Immediate' attention. At the lloud-strlcken city the doc tor found the conditions to be badly demoralized, and greatly In need of someone with nuthorlty to take hold of the matter and straighten out the sanitation of the place. Ulie local ' uealth otllcer had been doing the best I that lay In his power, but he was handicapped by the fact that he bad ' not sufficient nuthorlty to proceed as I he thought best. The city was strewn from end to end with debris of the Mood, nnd every person wns looking for the I things tuey wished to save when ' found, nnd they resisted the efforts 1 of the health officer to destroy their I property. As a means of preventing tho sprend of disease. It was best to bum ill I of the combustible ma terial that was scattered over the town, and this wns done by tho order of Dr. Smith as soon as he arrived on the scene. He, In conjunction witn Dr. Davis, of Portland, and Mr. UerUe ley, of Pendleton, took charge of the work nnd reduced it to a system. As fast as the drifts were looked through in search of bodies the material was piled and burned. In this way the ground wns cleared and It was possl hie to attend to the other phases of the sanitary question. Used Alkali Dirt. All of the vaults and cess-pools of the city had been opened and the stench from them was fast becoming offensive; also the drifts were com posed of nil kinds of filth and surface dirt, and this also was becoming a source of menace to the health of the place. Uy orders of Dr. Smith the cess-pools were filled with alkali dirt, a large bed of which Is to be found in the near vicinity of the city. This dirt is an excellent deodorizer nnd disinfectant, and In an hour's time after It was put in a place that had been offensive, the air waB sweeten ed and the danger from tho stench removed. This surface dirt was a very disagreeable part of the work. Heated by tho sun It wns soon an Ill-sniclling mass, and was wet and hard to handle. This was all hauled away and dumped In the low places of the creek, where It was out of the way of the town., and then the places from whence It had come were filled In with the dry' alkali. The whole city was treated in this way and will be in first-class sanitary condition by this evening. When Dr. Smith reached the city the whole sewerage system had been swept away. There had been a sys tem of surface drains and these had been filled and wrecked. One of the first things that was done was to get these In working order again, and tho workmon of the city were put at the task of opening them. After they were opened tho cellers of the place wore pumped out and the whole sys tem of drains and cellnrs treated to a coat of alkali. Epidemic of Diarrhoea. At tho tlmo of the doctor's nrrlval there was an inadequate number of privies In tho town, and his first care was to remedy this defect by the con struction of a sufficient number for nso of tho worklngmen of the place. Owing to tho general use of Ice water diarrhoea had broken out among the men and was fast approaching tho stage of an epidemic. This was rem edied by the cutting down ot the sup ply of Ice and tho use of sulphuric acid lemonade. While the city proper is about cleaned up, thoro are miles of drift yet remaining along the creek that has not been touched, anil it will take 200 men at least 10 days to simply go ovor these In the search of bodies. In the estimation of the doctor the things that tho city needs ore money nnd men. It will take $50,000 to clear up the wreck of the city and It will take men to do the work. If the rules as laid down nre cai rled out there is no danger of an epi demic of any kind, though the utmost precautions should be taken In the matter. It was the direction of the doctor that any onu remaining sick In the city for morn than a day or two should bo shipped homo as a moasuro or safety towards tho rest of the popnlaco. No typhoid or other contagious diseases will be kopt In tho city, and nil or tho avenues of con tagion will he strictly guarded. ti.. r dm WPHtnrn Division of tho Oregon State Tcnchers' Asso ciation, which is to be he d In Port land tomorrow and Thursday Mr Nowlln 1b a member of a com mittee appointed by the Eastern Ore gon Division of the Stnte Association to act In conjunction with a like com mittee from the western division to confer with the Lewis and Clark Fair directors for the purpose of arrang ing for an educational exhibit at the exposition. , E.
