destroyed that was out on installment

Other losses that we have not been
able to list in detail will probably ag
gregate $2500, making this by far
the most destructive fire in the his
tory of Heppner.
While there has been no definite
announcements on the part of the lire
sufferers as to what they will do to
ward rebuilding, we feel that It can
safely be said that the most of them
will construct new homes and the
burnt district will shortly be rehabil
itated with modern structures, mak
ing Heppner a far more beautiful and
substantial city.
- WllI Go To The Hills,
. M. J. Bradford, the. painter, has
come to the conclusion "that he is
somewhat of a hoo doo. In the fire
of a month ago he suffered the loss
of his paint shop, and had' not much
more than got set up again in the
Shutt building on upper Main street
when the big fire came along on the
Fourth and cleaned him out. He
, thinks now of locating his shop on
one of the high hills about Heppner
; and out of reach of every building of
the town, where he can't burn any
body else or be consumed himself.
jGood idea, Brad, but you want to
jlook out for the rain.

Mr. Wilkins was hard hit hv tlie fire
