pcraturcs, low humtcMty. and rather
strong winds during much of the
time nave created ,0 critical situa
tion. According to Supervisor Fred
Purat, of the . Wallowa national
foreBt, tills section has been very
fortunate In the small number of
fires to become started so far this
season. Something like nine small
urea, navo oeen roporteq and with
the close co-operation of the mem
bers of the fire organizations and
tho public all have been observed and
extinguished before they could gain
much headway.: In commenting on
tne situation eariy una weex Air..
Purst exnre&sed the "opinion that
under the present conditions that
serious out-breaks , could occur at
any time and that utmost precaution
will be necessary If serious fires aro
eacaped. .. . , . , . , ; ,
Mora buying of lambs from some
of the bands of this section has taken
place recently. M. J. Sevier, of Dia
mond prairie, has been buying lambs
from somo of the local bands. The
prices being paid for the most of the
lambs here is reported to be from
$3.30 to $3.50 a hundred. L. W.
Minor was busy Inst week getting a
part of his lambs out from the Pow
watka range district and according
to reports these lambs wera sold at
$4 a hundred to an ' outside buyer.
This Is believed to be considerably
mo oest price paid uy anyone hero
this year for lambs. E, 3, "Wolfo, of
Middle valley, recently shipped nearly
300 lambs to Portland. Lambs have
been token as low in weight as 65
and 60 pounds In some of the lots
Which have been sold here recently.
HuckleberrvlnE Parties .have made
tripe to many parts of tho woods here
during the past week or two.. Many
have been successful lh securing sov-
ernl gallons pf fine, berries. Oscar
Maxwell and family, of Middle val-
loy, returned hpme Sunday evening
with four and a half gallons of ber
ries,, peporte from several who have,
made, trips are that while many of
the old patches have but few ber
ries, many other places. which appear
better protected from frosts have ex
tellent , crops of . berries. . . , , ,
A large crowd of people from many
parts ot the county were In attend
ance at the street dance and carni
val put on by -the American Legion
hero Saturday night. The evening
proved quite -cool following the ex
treme heat of the afternoon and
everyone greatly enjoyed being out
in me reiresning mgnt air.

THREE SHOTS LEFT
" ISTEN, you little lighting cock,"
" Emory Bald, hitching himself
closer to the other. "There's only
one thing that'll keep mo from kick
ing off with a smile on my face."
"And that Is?" Invited Ashw'pod,
quietly. ...
i'l'm ea curious about you that I'm
Itching all over. Since, we11 prob
ably both Be bounced off in the nest
twehty minutes, 'won't "you tell me
what turned 'you from if'good drink
ing partner, as you were back In
London, to a hard-boiled egg such
as you are now?" i'j : t-
Tho cripple glanced over theYablo
'topi then turned his vivid blue dyes
toward Emory. ' V.
"I owo tJyou something," lie ac
knowledged slowly,' "so I suppose I
may as well tell you. Forgive me It
1 spare you the details. I'm an
American. Enlisted in tho Royal
Kly'liir Corp;. In Canada. Sometime
before I ran across you in London.
I mot . a girl who drove an' siiibu
laucoor the Overseas club. Saw
quito a bit of her. Asked her to
marry mo. Two nights after that
evening or ours which oudad in the
fight with tho military police, .alio
stole some important papers from
the pocket of my tunic.
"Somo days after she took tho
papers, a lirltish push was smashed
to hits by the Germans. .My fault,
you sec. Ou that same day, a Ger
man Fokkcr crocked mo over the
lines. Our men hoisted the engine
off my leg and took me to the hos
pital. But that didn't prevent them
from cashiering me. At tho trial
they blamed me for other things
things I hadn't done. I felt so low
that 1 guess I didn't put up a de
cent defence. Spent a year In the
Tower of London, expecting to be
shot any day. Six months after the
armlstico I was pardoned. My
friends had forgotten me, but bad
remembered to drop my name from
my clubs.
"I drifted about like a pariah.
Needed excitement. Had no respect
for Justice, hence none for the law
that administered It. War taught
mo tho real value ot human life,
which Is less than nothing. Turned
to crlmo for excitement and to keep
me off the benches on the Thames
Embankment. Played the 'Lone
Wolf racket for a while. Came back
to America. Saw In some ot tho
Chicago gangs that were just begin
ning to lift their beads a possibility
for organized crime that would be
highly diverting and exceedingly
profitable. I recruited my own mob
who, by the way, are beginning
their attack." i
He turned abruptly and fired tbree
shots as fast as hetcould pull the
trigger. Emory, getting Into action,
saw two men stumble and fall.
The battle became general, but to
Emory it was a matter of himself,
alone, against half a dozen. He was
conscious that the lighting was
sweeping toward and around the
honso like a prairie fire. Tbat was
incidental. The only matter of Im
portance was bis own Individual ef
fort to keep that little group ot men
from reaching the porch. Tho lead
er charged desperately, zigzagging
as be galloped ahead of bis com
animal was a large one and seemed
in no hurry to move away upon be
ing observed;
James Anderson, who Is working
for John Couch, of Leap, was an En
terprise business visitor tho latter
part of the week.
Mlsa 111a Couch, of Leap, spent
several days the latter -part of the
week at La Grande taking treatments
for some nose and ear trouble.
Mrs. Giles Plass and daughter, Miss
Ztlma Plass, Mrs. Herman Plass and
two children returned homo the last
of the week from a ten-day trip to
Fortland, Eugene, Klamath Falls and
Crater Lake. , They report a wonder
ful trip with tho exception of some
disagreeable heat during a part of
tho time. .
E. R. Roberts and wife and Mrs.
Shcfflo Surber, of Enterprise, were
at the Moelc Brothers ranch at Leap
the early part of tho week picking
cherries,
, Giles Plass was helping Meek
Bros, haul hay during the early part
of tho week.
Eugene Gastin, who is tending
cheep camp for Mr. Simmons up the
South Fork river, reports things be
coming very dry in that part of the
range.
Sam Meek was binding somo wheat
for Giles Plass the early part of the
week. - ; .
'Sam and G. C.-Meek. Earl Burch

on Sunday.
Willard Bell has been helping
Clarence Mumford put up his hay.
Frank Walker and family, of Middle

Reports from farmers In the Bear
creek district state that wutcr is -becoming
quite low there at this time

rades. Emory wished to stand tip
and shoot it out with him" but from
the shelter of the palms the . machine-gun
sprayed his window with
bullets. It was almost suicidal oven
to ralso bis head for a quick pot shot.
A dozen more steps and that chap
with the contorted face and staring
eyes would be able to dodge behind
tho overhanging ledge of the porch.
Now! Emory's gun smacked against
the palm ot his hand. The fellow
crashed full against the porch.
Emory heard Mallory cursing In a
monotone, on and on, endlessly,
flatly, Interrupted only by tho heavy
bark pf his automatic. Ashwood
was sllenf, his mouth set in-a
twisted grin. Ilring slowly, carefully,
wasting not a single shot.
Running men were falling In the
sand, some to get up and rcsume'the
charge, others to drag themselves
away. The two machine-guns ham
mered relentlessly, monotonously.
Their "whining bullets . Irritated
Emory like persistent mosquitoes' on
a, hot. sleepless night.,, It would he,
ho, thought,, those two machine-guns
that would eventually turn tho tide
of battle against tho defenders.
Their slugs spattered through the
thin sides of the house. Only the
heavy barricades stopped them.
sllo glanced again at Ashwood
Tho cripple grinned, pointed ut his
automatic, then to a scattering or
empty shells and held up. three
fingers. Three shots left. Emory
hud lost count of his own. He only
roinonibcrod that he hud usod most
ot his last clip. Suddenly his cars
became attuned to a new nolo In
tho battle. He had been hearing It
for somo ttrno, but It had not pene
trated into his consciousness. That
throbbing, vibrant beat an atrplano
engine, of course he listened again,
tho monoplane. No mistaking that
uneven, pulsing drone.
"Whoops!" he shouted above the
din of fight. "The plane's coming!
Jerry and Steve!"
He looked back at his window. A
man stood there, framed In the
splintered Basil, crouched, face dis
torted Into a mask of trauzy, bis
automatic foreshortened Into an
ugly round bole as it pointed
straight at Emory's bead. Tldfflyer
braced himself tor tbe Impact of trie
bullet His own gun was swinging
upward with the speed ot light, but
ho knew he would be too late. He
could soo tho forefinger tighten on
tho trigger. Then, suddenly, tho
man pitched over on top of him.
Emory squirmed from under, glonc
Ing wondorlngly at the cripple.
Ashwood winked at him.
"Now we're even!" be called.
"Much obliged, old top," roared
Emory, but the other seemed not
to hear. Ho was using his last re
maining shot to stop a man who
would have reached tho barrlcado
In another five steps.
Above the all-pervading roar of
the airplane engine, Emory could
hear the steady hammering ot Its
machine gun. Then ho saw the
plane, as It dived through his range
of vision. For an Instant he thought
it was falling; that It would crash
headlong Into the clump of palms
which sheltered the nearest enemy
machine-gun. But just as the pro
peller seemed about to cut a swath
through the leaves, the nose lifted
and the plane zoomed clear, up and
up until, whirling around on one
wing tip, it dropped again to the
attack.
