ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 22, 2018 Crews from several volunteer fi re districts helped pro- tect a home and outbuildings after a controlled fi re on a ranch in Sumpter Valley grew faster than expected. The fi re was started in a pasture on the Bar C Bar Ranch, said Steve Meyer of the Oregon Department of Forestry in Baker City. The fi re began to spread when winds picked up, but fl ames remained on the ranch property, Meyer said. It burned an estimated 35 to 40 acres, Meyer said. The fi re burned relatively close to several buildings, but there was no damage, said Wes Morgan, chief of the Powder River Fire Protection District. Fire crews left later Sunday as the winds, and the fi re, died down, Morgan said. Volunteers from the Greater Bowen Valley, Sumpter, Baker Rural and North Powder districts also responded to the blaze.

ELKS Continued from Page 1A This is the fi rst time the event, offi cially known as the Leading Knight Fall Conference/Seminar, has taken place at the Baker City Lodge, which was started in 1896, Brinton said. “We’re very honored that they came over,” Brinton said on Friday. About 200 people, includ- ing Elks offi cers and their spouses and guests, gathered in Baker City for the confer- ence, Brinton said. “It was a huge undertaking and involved a lot of volun- teer hours,” Brinton said. “Our members really came through.” The Baker lodge applied for the honor of hosting the fall conference last winter. A state committee chose the site for the event. Photo courtesy of Baker Elks Lodge Offi cials from 52 Elks lodges across Oregon gathered at the Baker Elks Lodge for a conference and training seminar Thursday through Saturday. Brinton said one of Baker’s draws is that its lodge is among the larger ones in Oregon, with the accommoda- tions for groups of up to 250 people. Even so, local Elks had to do considerable prepara- tion for the three-day event, Brinton said.

Brinton said the conference was the biggest single event the Baker Elks Lodge has hosted. She said it was a fi nancial boon not only for the Baker Lodge, by way of registra- tion fees, but also for the local economy, as the visitors stayed in local motels and patronized local businesses. Although dinners were served at the Lodge, guests made their own plans for breakfasts, Brinton said. ers over the next month will consider two options. One is to try to revise the fi re station project to reduce the cost. The other is to try to fi nd more money. The county’s goal is to have construction start next spring. Commissioners are also still pursuing a lease agree- ment with Shukrain Invest- ment Inc. of Vancouver, Brit- ish Columbia, for exploratory mining on a section of the Sumpter Valley dredge tail- ings that the county owns. Commissioners could have a proposal to look at Nov. 6.
