call, will be given a farewell at the
Opera House. The Red Cross ladies

More of our lads will have to go late.,

and more that the homes ot the coun
try are being broken up. As you bid
these lads good bye and wish them
God-speed on their way, remember
that we that remain behind owe them
a great obligation ; much greater. In

- Small Fire Causes Excitement.
The prolonged ringing of the fire
bell a little after 11 oclock on Tues
day night created a lot of excitement
among the Heppner citizens. A fire
had got started in the wood shed at
the Clint Gilliam residence, west
Church street, and before assistance
could arrive the little building was
burned to the ground. The Gilliam
residence, as well as the Fred Lucas
house adjoining were each scorched
some and there would have been a
lively conflagration had the fire got
a good start. Tne houses are close
together In this district and only the
prompt work of the volunteer firemen
saved the city a destructive blaze.
We did not learn just how the fire
started.

Ralos and Harry Johnson have re

Heppner, and this week closed up
their shop. The cold storage plant
has been disposed of to the Morrow

by Johnson Bros. Owing to the sick

Mr. Johnson retire from business
