Heppner had her first serious fire
since the big conflagration July 4,
3 918, last Saturday afternoon when
1he First Christian church edifice
was totally destroyed by a blaze
which is supposed to have originated
from a defective flue or pipe be
tween the ceiling and roof.
The church had been vacated only
a couple of hours before by a large
congregation which had assembled
lor the funeral services of the late
Silas Wright and when discovered
the flames had gained such headway
that, all the firemen could do was to
pave adjacent property. The home
t.f Vawter Crawford, which stands
only a few feet from the church,
had a close call and most of the con
tents were removed hut the absence
of wind made it possible to save the
home without damage.
The fire seemed to have started be
tween ceiling and roof and when dis
covered breking through the shingles
the interior of the attic was like a
furnace.
The pews and other furniture, in
eluding a valuable piano were saved
and it was found Monday that the
heating plant in the basement was
not damaged. A quantity of fuel in
the basement also escaped the flames
because of the main floor of the
building not burning through.
The loss is estimated at between
$5000 and $6000 with $3000 insur
ance. A meeting of the trustees and
other prominent members of the
church was held Sunday1 afternoon,
when it was determined to start re
building as soon as the. loss is adjus
ted and the insurance paid.
1 While the church was still burning
Hev. Livingstone, live wire pastor of
the congregation, got in touch with
members of the Episcopalian congre
gation, and SB-un-ed the use of their
building, otherwise unoccupied at
that time, for Sunday morning's ser
vice and passed through the crowd
-around the burning building making
an announcement to that effect, and
was heartily applauded.
Heppner Troop Boy Scouts of
America, has the honor of being the
first contributor to the building
fund for a new church to replace the
fire loss, that organization coming to
the center with a subscription of $ort
for the cause.
Commencing next Sunday, services
will.be held in the Prophet building,
one door north of the First National
Bank.

Potato diseases cause a greater re
duction in yield than any other fac
tor. The easiest, way to avoid these i
diseases is by purchasing certified '
seed potatoes. There is only a lim- j
ited amount of this stock in the state I
and in order to help out farmers de
siring to get seed located in differ-i
ent points in the county, the County ;
Ageut's office has been endeavoring ,
to locale pure seed. It is evident j
that certified seed will cost about $3 ,
per hunderd and will cost npproxi-'
mutely $1.25 per hundred to get this
seed in by local freight, whereas rates
in car load lots is around 30 cents
per hundered, therefore there would
be great advantage in grouping ord
ers. Every man who might be in
terested should send in a list to the
County Agent, immediately and we
will see if we can't, get. enough to
gether tt make a car shipment. All
potatoes would have to be paid for
before the order could be sent.
No potatoes should be planted
without first being treated for disease
The best method is to soak from one
and one half to two) hours in a solu
tion made by putting four ounces of
corrosive-sublimate in 30 gallons of
water. This is a dealy poison so
look out for your solution and your
treated potatoes. Formalin can
used, but not nearly so effective.
