THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1924. PAGE FIVE Wheat ia coming along fine in the Sand Hollow and north of Lexington sections. A drive down north Fri day with Druggist Humphreys, to see how his new well is progressing, re vealed some of the finest fields of grain that wa ever saw in that part of the county and there would seem to be no preventing an abundant yield and early harvest. Some spring seed ing has been done, but not much, and this may need rain soon to make it come along properyl, but the fall sowing is jointing and is so well de veloped that nothing can prevent a crop. A drive over the Sand Hollow section Sunday afternoon revealed similar conditions. In many places squirrels are coming out thick and the poison will have to be spread. Grain on the light lands is certainly making a tine showing this spring. Mr. Humphreys is having A. M. Ed wards put down a new well for him and hopes to get an abundant supply of good water, so situated -that it can be run over an extensive flat on his ranch that can later be set to alfalfa and made a good hay producer. Tom is in the Morrow county oil belt, and should he get a flow of oil instead of water, there will be nothing doing in the hay production. The beginning of what might have proven a very disastrous fire was dis covered in the lower warehouse near the depot about 6 o'clock Monday evening by G. A. Bleakman of Hard man, who was at the warehouse get ting some freight. The fire was in a pile of old sacks at the extreme lower side of the building and when discovered was making its wsy up the wall pretty rapidly, immediate action on the part of Mr. Bleakman and others extinguished the flames and the extent of the damage was the burning of the pile of sacks which were scattered on the outside of the building. The fire must have teen started by sparks from the engine on the work train which had pulled into the siding just a few minutes before. There was a very high wind blowing at the time in the direction of town and" just what the results would have been had the fire got be yond control can only be conjectured. Old paper, rubbish and other inflam mable material should be kept clean ed up around these premises that the fire risk may be lessened. Herb Instohe of this city is carry ing his right arm in a sling, the re sult of a kick he received from a Ford on Monday forenoon, while cranking the critter.
