RICHLAND JAS A BLAZE
Afire of mysterious origin yes
terday noon destroyed the barn
on the Gcorgo Evans property in
Richland, and for k time threat
ened the barn and garage of Eli
Chandler's. Only for lhe prompt
response to the fire alarm and the
heroic work of volunteers, the re
sult would have been far more
disasterous. Had there been any
wind the loss would have reached
many thousands instead of a few
hundreds of dollars.
The Evans' house-has been va
cant for some time but John
Graven had a lot of things stored
in the barn and says there has
been evidence of children using
the place for a play house, so it
is presumed the fire might have
been started by small boys.
WliMe the antiquated hand
pump answered the purpose on
this occasion, the micd of adequate
lire protection was most forcibly
brought to the attention of our
citizens and a . meeting of the
town council was held last even
ing and immediate steps will bo
takon to'secure a right of way
for a pipe liae.
All able bodied men of Richland
nnd vicinity are requested to be
at the town hall next Tuesday
niuht for Iho ptiiiptijreof organiz-

The Bank and the Church
'1 here are many advantages de
rived from a bank account, but
here is one we wonder if you have
ever thought of: It helps thecom
munity in which you live.
A community without a church
and a- bank doesn't amount to
much. The absence of the one
indicates poor morals, and the
absence of the other indicates
poor mortals. Everybody owes it
to the community to patronize
these two institutions. By help
ing them you help yourself. In
nr ler to help support the church
you must have funds and by sup
porting the bank you are sure to
have the funds. Tho ability of
both to help the community de
pends upon the loyalty of all.

$5.00 Reward
Ralph Guyer was in townjMon
day and tied the mare he rode
back of Jones' blacksmith shop.
When ready to start home late in
the evening, Ralph found tho
animal gone and was unable to
locate it until Tuesday morning
when it was found at the Denslev
corral, nil covered with sweat and
showing all evidences of having
been hard ridden. The mnro be
longs to George Guyer, who will
pay a reward of S5 for tho nnma
of tho party who took the animal
Monday night. Every man in
the community should bo on the
.watch for the guilty party, for
a person who would thus take an
animal and abuse it Would not
hesitate on eommiting a greater
crime.
Plans have been perfected for
tho erection of a new Christian
church building in Richland. Tho
structure will cost around $4,500
When . completed.

I FIRST 10 LEAVE
Railway congestion and incom
plete cantonment camps caused
many changes in the mobilization
plans. Only five per cent of the
first draft will be called Sept 5;
40 per cent will go on Sept. 19,
40 per cent on Oct. 3, and the
remaining 15 per cent soon after.
The first five per cent of the

Milton R. Jrhnson,
Mark A. Houston, Robinette,
Ernest J.A. E.ickson, Weath
erby, The first two named were auto
matically drafted by their failure
to appear for examination in an
swer to the notice mailed by the
exemption board. Of the man
Long we know nothing, but Mil
ton R. Johnson was a member of
the National Stock Co. that was
touring this section in June. If
located these two men will be
subject to a heavy penalty. Thus
it appears that the two latter
named men will be the first to
leave from Baker county.
. A notice has been sent to the
men to be in readiness to report
at Baker within 21 hours notice,
ind they are placed under mili
tary authority. Should any man
fail to appear on the date for en
trainment, probably Sept. 5, he
will be classed as a deserter and
will bo punished accordingly.
Several appeals from the de
cision of the local board on claims
for exemption or discharge have
been filed with the district board
at La Grande, and should any of
them be granted it will of coursq
niake a difference in the list of
those going in the first draft.
Tho heads of actually depen
dent families will not have to go
in tho first draft, is the latest re
port from Washington.
Ladies, wo invito you to come
in and look over our new dress
goods and silk waistings. We are
sure they will meet with your ap
proval. Wo want you to see
them, so don't fail to call.
