Mr. and Mrs. Lou McKeivy who na-a the misfortune to lose all their household furnishings and personal property in a lire her&reccntly have rented a house from Lamar Westen skow In North Imbler formerly occu- pied by the Kirkhams who are mov ing to La Grande. At recent meet ings of the American Legion and auxiliary thero was voted tlw sums of $10 and $5 respectively as friendly tokens of sympathy as the McKelvy's were away at the time of the fire and carried no Insurance.

The ladles began working this morning. They enjoyed a potluck dinner at noon and planned to work this afternoon. Moat of the potatoes have been moved from the Fox storage house but a few hundred sacks are atlli there and are now being sorted. There was no chance at all to market po tatoes from this section in car lots this year and except for occasional sales in small lots sold locally these potatoes were sold for five cents a sack and hauled away for hog feed to satisfy storago charges. Had this district the same rail tariffs of com petitive sections of comparative dis tances the California markets could nave taken these crops at a price that would have partially reimbursed the glowers their ccat of production instead of the terrific losses they nave suffered. Efforts are being made to have the rate to California reduced to an equitable basis In time for this year's crop. Many Imbler people have taken to gardening for home use as one means of beating old man depression and some of the finest gardens ever seen here are the result. Ross Perry has perhaps the finest garden In town. It Includes a great variety of pro ducts, all of which show fine growths and umiorm stands, tne result or scientific and intensive culture.
