Heppner had been looking for it for years and now, since it has come and gone, the won der of it is that there is any town left at all. "Burning wi.h furious la tensity, the flames ate their way from house to house and block to block. A strong wind was its greatest aid. The frame buildings, the wood which was thoroughly seasoned by years of exposure t sun and wind, burned like thin paper. For the first twenty five or thirty minutes it seemed that everyone was helpless. There was no organization to take charge of the fire fighting. One hose was attached to a hydrant and the pressure was not there. Through inexperience, about 200 feet of hose was taken into the fire zone and was burned up be-1 fore it could be withdrawn. Like-1 wise a hose cart was left in the line 1 of fire and ruined. ) No one seemed to know, or worse ; yet, everyone seemed to know. There were more bosses on the job than there were firefighters. Men began to run around frantically, asking where other hose carts were located. Everybody had to stop and think deeply before they could remember where another cart might be found and where the hydrants were thai might be attached. We learn slowly, but we learn well. It is gradually simmering through our crauiuma that we must have ade quate fire protection at all times. There may be worlds of water in re serve, yet if that high pressure so badly needed in any fire, cannot be had from the minute the gong rings, that fire may get under such headway that all the water in the reservoir would accomplish nothing. We are learning the needs of a well drilled fire fighting squad. Mon day's disaster must show us the cal amity that lays in the lack of organ ization. Fewer men under the direc tion of a man who thoroughly knows his business, can fight more fire ef fectively than all the men in town under no authoritative direction. We are learning the futility of building fire traps. Large two story buildings such as the one in which this fire started, can be nothing but fire traps of the first order. The dif ference in cost between wood on the one side and brick or concrete on the nthfir is neelieible, but the difference in fire resistance has been demonstra ted thoroughly in Monday's fire. It is safe to venture that buildings arising from the ashes of the old Heppner in this burnt section will be a striking contrast to those which went up in smoke. THINGS ARK LOOKING BETTER. The Allies appear to be gaining greater strength every day. The Uni ted States is going into the conflict with the view of a long war ahead and is preparing accordingly. Five Lend Your Pennies to the Government! That is the spirit which will help America win the war. That is the THRIFT spirit. . There is a place for the pennies put them in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. This store is cooperating with the Government in food convervation. SAVE WHEAT-Wehave the substitutes. Sam Hughes Co. ' 'Howe of Reliable Merchandise" million men In the battle line by 1919 is the latest edict of the war depart ment, and such legislation as will make such an army a reality, is now being formed. It is not a characteristic of this country to become disheartened at the prospects for a longer conflict. The steady and persistent effort of every citizen will be a means of mak ing it shorter, and we can gainjnuch courage and confidence from the fav orable aspects of the outlook. The food situation in both Great L'ritain and France is looking up each dty, and Victor Boret has predicted that the crops inFVanee this year will be the best since 1898. The fact that there is now a pros pect for the United States producing the largest crops in all her history means that we will be able to share generously with our allies, thereby making up what shortage may exist in their own crops. The U-boat warfare is not disrupt ing allied shipping as the Huns once hoped for. In any event new ships are being launched in allied ship yards faster than they are being sunk by the submarine. And sinking ships of the allies does not fill the Gorman bread basket, therefore hunger is bound to increase rather than dim inish in the enemy countries. Condi tions in Austria-Hungary are said to be the worst at anytime since the be ginning of the war and Germany did not gain from the store houses o Uk raine what she once thought she would. Russians have been too busy stirring up the pot of revolution to look well to their food supplies and as a consequence crops are sparce and what the Russians have they will horde and hang onto even if its brings forth a desperate struggle. This will necessitate a large German force to handle the situation and enforce the German peace, with which the Rus sians have been cursed. WOOL METHOD OF HANDLING CHOP RECKIVEI). Definite explanations of the gov ernment's plans for handling the wool crop were received this morning by E. J. Burke, Pendleton's wool buyer, in a letter from his house in Boston. The letter stated that advances to the growers are limited to 7 5 per cent of the value of the wool and that 6 per cent interest may be charged the grower up until the time the wool arrives in Boston or is taken from the railroad. At that time the gov ernment assumes the interest charge. A new development is the decision that, after the time the government takes over the wool the consignor will get credit for 6 per cent of what the wool sells for, less the freight charg es. This means that the grower is re quired to pay the Interest charge on his advances only for the 30 or 40-da period of shipping, and that tlnroc.f- ter, not only will the govern niuit as sume the interest, but it will also pay interest on tha remainder rf the mon ey due the grower until the wool is delivered to the manufacturer. The buyer is allowed a 3 per cent commission on wool In the original bags, 3 per cent if graded. The government not the grower pays all the storage, insurance and car riage charges until the wool is turned over to the manufacturer. Pendle ton Tribune. 5-5 Roosevelt and Taft shook hands in Chicago the other day, the first time since 1912 and shows pretty conclu sively which way the political wind is blowing. Now for a good rain next month end there will be no wheat shortage in Morrow County. Heppner got a little excitement but it cost someone about $500 per min ute while it lasted. All Heppner High school alumni are one year older this week. Have you moved back yet? ARE YOU A HOME GUARD BOOST ER? Are you a home guard booster? Are you an active member of the home guard and are you attending drills regularly? There are more a ble bodied men in Heppner who have passed up this organization than there are those who have taken a live ac tive Interest. Just why any man would want to sit back and let the other fellows go out and drill to per fect an organization to protect that man's property, and not show the slightest Interest, either of approval or disapproval, is something that is hard to understand. Yet the Hepp ner Home Guard is having a strenu ous time for existence today, simply because too many men in this town have not got the pep, desire, ambi tion, patriotism or get-up to come out and help make the organization the succecss that it should be. The time is coming, and its not far off, when the actions of a man will be questioned, because he puts up one excuse or another for not com ing out with the home guard. One man may say that he doesn't have the time to give to it. Another man may say that he has had all the mil itary drill he wants. Still another will say, "Whats the use of going down there night after night and playing soldier." Do such statements have the true patriotic ringj In time of war it is not ours to ask the reason why. The man who jumps from his post in the front line out over the top and across No Man's Land does not stop to question or reason why. It's up to him to get as many of those baby-killing Huns as he can, before they get him. Of course it's not compulsory that a man attend or belong to the Home Guard. But a man's true sense of duty will tell him whether he should come out with the boys and Bhow that he also is heart-and-soul in the fight to lick the Hun and that if anything comes up at home that requires phy sical force to keep law and order and nrotect our homes and the safety of our property, he will be on the job, helping to do Just a little more than his bit. The moral effect of a splei, did guard organization cannot be overlooked. HEPPNER- NEEDS SUCH AN ORGANIZATION AND IT'S UP TO EVERY CITIZEN INDIVIDU ALLY TO SEE THAT WE HAVE IT. ANOTHER BLACK PAGE. Every day the civilized world is re ceiving new information concerning the character of the German govern ment and new evidence of the des truction it has wrought in the four years since It undertook to subjugate the world. The latest authentic test imony comes in a delayed cablegram from Moscow under the date of May 17, which tells that more than 1,000, 000 of the 3,100,000 Russian war prisoners held in Germany and Austria-Hungary are total Invalids. Half of the invalids are tubercular, most )f them in the last stages of that plague. Many, of the remainder are suffering from other serious contag ious diseases. And these sufferers are being reurned to Russia where there is a lack of food, proper accom odation and medical assistance. It 's appalling! A million men, in per fect health when they were captured, urned into physical wrecks is a part f the price civilization is paying for he destruction of the Prussion mil itary autocracy an added price im oosed by the Inhumanity which has marked the Hun in his merciless slaughter. Day by day history is writing against the Hun the blackest pages in its record. Portland Tele gram. The old spirit of friendly helpful ness still prevails. A good sum of Money had been raised for the fire s'ifferers before the smoke -had clear ed away. YOUNG MEN MUST REGISTER. Who? All men 21 years old. When? June 5th, 1918. Whore?
