astrous fire in many years this mor
ning whn flames destroyed two ware
houses of the Henrietta Milling and
Grain company valuid at 4,000. 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.

FORTUNES HAVE ALREADY
BEEN MADE AT IMBLER
AND THERE ARE MORE TO
COME.
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. In fact it was a deal that received prominence ,
all over the West. Other smaller transactions have
shown profit to land owners. .
Are You in the Market for
a Good Investment?
' ; . '. ."'m . .. :v . l ' 1 . ' - i . ' -
When we say, "are you in the market for a good
investment?" we do not meanhave you $50,000 to
invest. Not by any means, for the average investor)
invests his savings. Under the plans of fairness and
equity which have been adopted in the Imbler dis
trict it is possible for the man or woman with a few
hundred dollars to handle an orchard tract. A tract
that will increase in value from the date of purchase
and one that will net the' 'owner big returns if it is
held. The orchard planting plan relieves the invest-.
v or from all care of his land except to go out occasion
ally and look it over if he so desires. ,
And when you go to the Imbler district to look
. over your tract that has been carefully planted and
cultivated you cannot help then feeling the import-' ,
ance of your investment
Fruit land is the one investment now on the mar
ket for the small investor that is absolutely sure of
returns. ' All you need to do is to select an honorable -concern
with standing tp handle your tract.
Those having good f ruitland investment offerings
in the Imbler district are: : '
