VACANT FARM HOUSE BURNED Ro.idenc on Old John S. Taylor Ptaco Consumed by Fir Many of our people were attract ed by a reflection of fire In the sky to the north of town Sunday night, the fire appearing to be about the,east end of Tygh Valley or in the neiuhborhood of Sherare Bridge. Investigation, however, re vealed the fact that the fire occurr ed on the old John S. Taylor ranch, below the power plant on White river. The place has been unoccupied for about ftp years. It formerly was known as the R. C. Tunison ranch and contained a small house and several outbuildings, including fair size barn. The hou.e was en Mrely consumed. There seems to be no idea as to how th fire started, although some suppose that itiner- ent travelers may have been there at the time of the fire and to have carelcs ly thrown a lighted match or cigarette stub into dry refuse.
