NEW SECRETARY

MITTEE ARE ALL FILLED
AT SATURDAY MEETING.
George W. Hayes, of Vale, w.i.t
unanimously re-elected chairman of
the Malheur County Republican Cen
tral committee at the meeting of
precinct committeemen held in this
city last Saturday afternoon.
In nominating Mr. Hayes, Judge
George McKnight asserted a critical
time was ahead for the republican
party in Oregon. The pinciples ol
true Americanism as founded upon
the constitution of the United Stater,
"which the party has stood for r-!l
through the years are about ' to !
put aside, he said, and racial hatrc.t'
and religious bigotry substituted fw
them.
"Malheur County saved Govern .v
Olcott," said Judge McKnight, "and
it may 'bo up to us to save hin
again in November. The off iters cT
the party in the county conducted a
good campaign two years ago and )
ask for the retention of George V,'.
Hayes as chairmau."

FIRE MARSHAL MUELLER
CALLS MEETING FOR WED
, NESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 28.
Providing the suggested plan for
re-organization of the volunteer fire
department improvement of the fire
fighting apparatus which has been
proposed by Fire Marshal C. C.
Mueller is put into effect, Vale will
have as efficient fire protection as
any other town of its size in East
ern' Oregon.
The new water system will be
completed within a few weeks. It
will insure a sufficient amount of
water for fire fighting at all times,
day or night, and Pire Marshal
Mueller proposed to put the depart
ment in shape to utilize this and
provide all reasonable' fire protec
tion that the city can expect.
"There will be several thousand
dollars left from the bond sale when
the water system is completed and I
believe that this money, or any part
of it desired, can be legally spent
'or improvements to the fire-fighting
apparatus of the city, isasmuch
as the water system is the founda
tion of the fire department," said
Mr. Mueller. "I have advised the
council to secure 1000 feet of new
hose. I believe this will be neces
sary. The old hose has been in use
(or a number of years and I believe
if- will be dangerous to depend upon -it
sustaining the heavy pressure
the new system will develop. '
"We have a good chemical engine ,
and scnling ladders and I suggest
that the city purchase the chassis of
n 1-ton Ford truck and have ma
chinists of Vale build it into an ef
ficient fire-fighting truck. The two
chemical tanks could be placed on it,
acaling ladders arranged on its
-ides and the bed of the truck util
ized to store fully 1000 feet of
water hose. I believe the truck
could bo purchased and built over
for less than flOOO and it will be 1
worth it to the city.
"I want a volunteer fire depart
ment of fully 30 members. Thin
can be divided into units and trained
will be sufficient for all needs and
"tin be divided into unts and trained
Li take care of the different duties.
I wunt to urge all those in Vale
who are interested in having ade
uate fire protection in the the city
to be at my office next Wednesday
evening, June 28, to talk over the
suggested plan and lend their assist
ance n the re-organization of the
department."
