In surance to the sum of $1250 was car ried on each building and as both were i practically empty, the loss was reduced to a minimum, reports "the Pendleton East Oregonian. , According to a telephone communi cation this morning from Justlcs Scholl.'the .fire was discovered about 30 and one of the warehouses was soon enveloped in flames. The fire men responded quickly to the alarm and would harj saved the other rare house had the water not been tunc! off from the hydrant by the ml'.lir, company several days ago. As it was they, did valiant work In saving the mills which were close to the ware houses.. Thsy were aided in this by the strong wind which was blowing away from the other buildings., Had the fire occurred yesterday, there would have been a much great er loss sustained as a large quantity of baled hay which had been stored in one of the warehouses, was shipped out last night. There were only 200 sacks of barley in the other building which belonged to John C. Williams and this was a total loss as there was no Insurance carried on it The origin of the fire is In doubt but it is thought, to have been from spark from a passing engine or from a match or cigarette stub care lessly thrown by a hobo, or a member of the extra train crew which was In the yards. The two buildings were almost entirely consumed by the flames but will probably be rebuilt. The insurance was carried in a Hartford company and in a London and Lancashire company.

Taking into consideration the fact that Imbler's fruit section has never had proper organization until this Spring; that it has nsver had advertising along a regular campaign line; that the fruit has been sold hither and thither as the Individual might see fit, and area has not been overly large until now, it is of some consequence to know that several snug fortunes have already been cleaned uptby orchard men. v . .The Laidlaw purchase netted the owner a good re turn.
