THE FIRE.
It came at last. 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fore it could be withdrawn.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.

greater strength every day. The Uni

with the view of a long war ahead
and is preparing accordingly. Five

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

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
