Heppner, Or.. July 18. The moat seri
ous fire Heppner has had for years oc
curred last night, when an explosion
In the operating room of a moving pic
ture show caused a sudden Durst of
flames, which in two minutes enveloped
the entire building.
The flames were beyond control be
fore water could ba .directed against
them. Absence ot an organisation of
firemen la to a large extent the cause
of the great loss, but those who volun
. teered In an hour's time had the fire
under control. It la now hoped that the
city will endeavor to organise a certain
fire protection and be able to get water
on a flame much more quickly than wis
done in this case. -
The. building In which the plctate
show was operating waa owned by the
Star Brewery company, and waa com
pletely ruined. Two thousand five hun
dred dollars tnaurance was carried on
this building. The next building to the
south was the Swaggart building, in
which was a Chinese restaurant. Se
vere loss was experienced here, aa the
flamea leaped to it. There waa 11500
insurance on this building. The Mo
A tee building, south, was damaged only
of the roof; $300 will perhaps cover
this loss. The office of Phil Cohn,
warehouseman, which was next to the
picture show, waa completely destroyed.
There were about 100 people In the
picture show when the fire buret out,
and Charles Collins waa Injured In the
stampede for the door by sparks fly
ing in his eye, but It Is reported his
Injury is not serious. Mad the hall been
crowded It Is certain many would have
been killed or Injured, as it was neces
sary for them to come directly toward
the blase In paaslng out Fortunately,
no wind waa blowing, and this perhaps
caved the larger part of the business
district.

Nothing will be done to prevent com
petition for the lift span, said Mr. Mod
jeskL The approval of the Strauss trun

does not award the contract to Strauss,
In spite of the general impression to
the contrary.
Others Kay Bid.
"I was required to Include a type of
draw span of probable suitability Irl
preliminary plans,' and I submitted the
: Strauss plaa for that reason," said the
famous Chicago engineer, while at his
office, foot of 'Broadway street, -
S "I never held a conference with Coun
cilman Menefee, other than perhapa of
the most Incidental nature, as to the
type of lift span that will be finally
adopted. Others will have opportunity
to submit bids after authority for mak
ing the plana has been given, and there
will then be open competition."
It had been intimated that Mayor
Simon waa favorable to the Strauss
bascule lift span, and In a conference
where Councilman Menefee participated
had Intimated as much to Mr. Modjeskl.
Influenced by a report of such a con
ference, other companies making special
or patented typea of lift 'spans were
said to have withdrawn from the field.

Since hia arrival from Chicago Mr.
Modjeskl haa been busy looking over
-the work on the substructure. He be
lieves that Jt will not be necessary to
sink the east aide caissons so deep as
was originally planned, and that the
calssona may be firmly founded at a
leasened depth that will permit a aavlng
of money to the olty. Minor alterations
in east approach to the bridge will alao,
said Mr. Modjeakl, be submitted to the
bridge committee of the executive board.
He will descend this afternoon into the
bridge caisson to examine more closely
the feasibility of founding the pier at
a depth of 36, rather than 60 feet.

New York, July 11 The Rev. Louis
Shreve Osborne, rector of Trinity Kpls
copal church, Newark, caused a sensa
tlon by using the word "damn' very
forcibly over his signature In a com
munication accompanying a subscription
to a free ice fund In that city. In the
communication he says:
''1 have been taught that 'damn' is a
good, sound, sc riptural word, not, how-
I ever, to be used unadvisedly or lightly,
dui reverenuy, uiscreruy, auviscuiy, so
berly and In the fear of God, like mat
rimony or a blue pill, and so I say, ad
visedly and soberly, damn tho Ice trust
and the milk trust, and the farmers and
the cows and everybody and everything
that la making this hot weather an ex
cuse for boosting the price of ice and
milk.
"The sugar trust may be faulty and
the Standard Oil company not all that
can be desired, but they don't oonaplre
to kill sick babies.
"Thank God, the undertakers have not
ralaed the price on coffins and the doc
tors on vislte and that parsons still min
ister to the sick and poor without money
and without price.
"Ho here's 110 more for tho Ice fund
direct (on the side) to help alleviate the
poverty of the Indigent milkmen and
imnecuntoua Icemen. I hope they'll re-,
pent in time to escape that place whero
they'd give their immortal souis ior a
drink of ice milk."
The communication waa provoked by
the recent advance In the price of milk
and ice in Newark.

Why It Is Done
Our purpose in holding this contest is to acquaint the people of this sec
tion with the many far famed makes of pianos we handle. The manufac
turers of these pianos are convinced that this form of advertising is far
more effective than spending large amounts in magazine and newspaper
advertising, subsidizing concert pianists, etc., etc.
We too, believe' the best advertisement for a good Piano is a satisfied
customer, and we believei further, that the advertising allowance fhould go
to the person who buys a piano.
We want every one to know that ours are the only stores in the west
that sell the famous Chickering, the oldest and most expensive of American
Pianos; the beautiful toned Sohmer; the now celebrated Lester of Philadel
phia; the world-renowned Kimball, (given the Highest Grand Award st the
Chicago Exposition, and again, at the Seattle Exposition) the genuine
Decker, and our own Eilers Orchestral Piano, as well aa the famous Auto
piano, which everyone can play without practice. The Steger Pianos, the
Bush & Gerts and the H. P. Nelson Pianos also are sold by us. And we
want every one to know that we sell these fine dependable' makes of instru
ments for less than they are obtainable elsewhere.
