They will be needed for the care of our visitors during the fair and the Board must know at once what they can depend on. A great ciowd is anticipated, and they must be cared for. See the secretary at once. Much Excitement Caused by Early Morning Fire. A small fire at tho rear end of the H. O; Ashbaugh black smith shop early Tuesday morning was the cause of much alarm and excitement on the part of Heppner's slumbering poDulace The fire probablv originated from a coal which was dropped late the eve ning before by some of the mechanics who were setting a tire on a wagon wheel There would have been a great amount of damage done had the fire been allowed its own way for a short time but our efficient fire de partment lost no time in getting con trol of the situation and a great loss of property was no doubt averted. Everybody is exerting special care at the present time about fires. This is due to the fact that the water com pany is putting in its new pipes and fire pretention is somewhat diminished since certain periods of the day the water is shut off entirely in some sections of the town.
