some time at the Centennial and
the Multnomah County Fair at
Gresham. Mason also attended
the Gift Show to select stock for

The fire siren sounded at about
4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Apparently, sparks from the saw
mill's trash burning had been
fanned by a lively wind and had
caught in the dry grass and
climbed the hill back of the J.
Herbert Bate Co. mill. It threat
ened the wheat field of C. C.
Conrad, and it was with some
difficulty that the fire equip
ment reached the scene of the
blaze. Because of the steepness
of the mountain it was necessary
to go in by a road back of the
bill. Once there, the fire was ex
tinguished and the threat of loss
ended.
Hershel Jones broke his leg
just above the ankle while work
ing on a gravel truck for the
Bate company.
EVERY WEEK

Doty presented Frances with a
miniature red suitcase. The small
bag was filled with several in
dividually wrapped items that
Mable said jokingly "we thought
you could use." The items in
cluded a "Wyalt Earp" comic
book and wax milk bottles.
Katherine Snider took over on
a more serious note to present
Mrs. Thomas with a 12 inch sterl
ing silver dish, a girt from the
club. Each member had signed
the accompanying farewell card.
Mable Doty led the group in a
farewell song and the luncheon
concluded with the club oath.
