Lewis and Clark Fair Board Organ
ized and Ready for Work.
Tho Oregon stale commission for
the Lewis and Clark Fair has now for

tne work of collecting and classifying
exhibits will begin very soon.
lleppuer. June 20. The Inst three
or four bodies recovered have been so
badly decomposed that identification
Is almost impossible except by trin
kets, Jewelry clinging to the rem
ffans of mints of clothing left upon
mints of clothing left upon them, or
some distinct mark upon the person.
The hot weather is drying up the
mud and slime until It is enked on
everything. The drift Is stuck to
gether by it, like It w.tj tcmont.
There is system and regularity
everywhere now, aim with the money
at their disposal the people of llepp
uer can soon stand alono once more.
The executive committee has every
thing working harmoniously and with
the depnrtuio of the outside help, can
finish the task or clearing up the ru
ins with labor of Heppner and local-
ity. v
Unless a special request Is made
for assistance, ii Is not necessary for
any laborers to come here. Tho
great question now before the citi
zens Is where and how to stnrt In to
rebuild the city. It has taken a qunr
ter of a century to build it up to the
stage It had reached, and while some
are able to begin at once, others can
not make tho start.

The Odd Fellows' relief committee,
consisting of II. Alexander, of this
city; O. I). Doan, of Tho Dalles; W.
T. Williamson and James Welch, of
AMoria, an.. B, E. Sharon, of Port
land, completed their work of dis
tributing the funds of the order nl
Heppner yesterday evening, nnd left
there for Portland this morning.
They will not be discharged yet, how
ever, hut will remain organized until
the general relief work at Heppner
is at an end.
Knighto of Pythias Lose Seven.
J H (iwinn Ill's returned from
Heppner. whore he went us one of
the state committee appointed by the
Knights o Pythias to look after tho
Interests of the lodge momuers at
that place. The ordor lost soven
members who lost their homes and
nil of their ptoperty. These were all
taken enre of and put In a position
where they could once more get on
their feet.
Mr Gwlnn gives as an Illustration
of the dliciilty attendant on the worK
Ing of the drifts an incident which
came under his observation tho day
before he left the place. An arm was
found piotrudlng from tho debris, and
a force of men was put to work to
take the body out of the wreck. With
20 men and four horses it took two
hours and a half to get tho rubbish
torn away so that the body could be
reached.
In the opinion of Mr. Gwlnn there
aio many more bodies yet in tno drifts
below the town, and it will take all
the efforts of tho men to find them In
time for them to be Identified. At
the prebent time there aro about 40
yet unaccounted for.
Had Charge of Pendleton Crew.
N. Herkeley returned last night from
Heppner, where be has had charge of
tho Umatilla delegation of tho volun
teers who went over there to help In
answer to tho call s;nt jut over a
week ago, Under him tho work was
reduced to a system, and tho thor
oughness of the service Increased,
During tho first few dayB tho people
In search of bodies would find a drift
where there was u body and in their
efforts to extricate it from tho mass
the timbers would be piled uround in
all directions, often on the top of an
other drift In tho close vicinity.
Under the direction of Mr. Berke
ley the men started at the town and
worked down the stream In a syste
matic manner, and as fast as one
place was worked it would bo marked
with a large placard. In this way all
of tho ground was gone over thor
oughly and time was saved,
Mr. Berkeley says that great cred
it should bo given to tho gang from
''Hot Rock, who are working with the
Pendleton boys under the direction of
i Hen Carter. They have boon stonily
nnu conscientious workers, nun nave
dono what wns asked of thorn in all
cases, i.-.ii. hno iiotio ll will.
An Imprisoned Cat.
There Is a story brought back by
the men who have been at Heppner
that Is not a flsh story, but one con
cerning the fate of n cat. It Is told
by N. llerkoley, ia lays the blame
on Kd Haker, who Is tno original ro
later of the tale.
The other day, while Mr. llakur hail
his crow ut work on tho drifts below
the town, he stepped onto a lnrgu
drift of sand In ordor to where to
next place his men. Ho noticed that
the sail,, sounded hollow, and calling
n man with a pick, set him to woriv
to solve the mystery. In a few min
utes a hole was picked In tho top of
the drift, nnd It was found that two
largo trees hud lodged In such a way
as to rorm an arch over which the
sand had drifted, forming a hollow
dome. The workman stuck bis head
In the opening he had inndo to see
what was In the cavity, and as ho
withdrew It a largo cut Jumped out
of the hole and i-iatlo off down the
creek. The cat had evidently been
In the drift ever since the nlgnl of the
Hood, and wns none the worse for her
long Imprisonment without food, or
water. The hist seen of her she wns
trolling off down the valley looking
for a friend among the crowd of
strangers that tilled the place.
