HERMISTON BEAT
IN ARMISTICE FRAY
Mustangs Go Wild in Second
Half After Scoreless First
Period; Play Arlington Saturday
Seemingly disregarding the fact
that Hermiston-Heppner games are
supposed to be played tightly, close
ly, and with few scoring sprees, the
Heppner Mustangs not only ran over
the Hermiston Bulldogs but also
passed over them here Saturday af
ternoon before the largest crowd of
the season. The score was 25-7, the
largest lor this Armistice Day clas
sic in over five years.
There was no score in the first
quarter. The period was character
ized by steady gains by both teams.
Hermiston ran most of its plays
from reverses or double reverses.
Heppner's first score came in the
second quarter in an end run by
Moore. Finding Hermiston s weak

Insurance Adjust
ment Made; Wray
Goes to View Plants
Encouragement was given plans
for replacing the mill of Heppner
Lumber company, razed by fire last
week, when satisfactory adjustment
of insurance claims was made Tues
day. H. O. Wray, partner of Orville
Smith, in the stricken operation, de
parted yesterday morning for Spo
kane on a tour of inspection of plants
that may be available for purchase,
with view of lining up machinery to
replace that which was put beyond
hope of repair by the flames.
While the mill's replacement is
contingent upon satisfactory solu
tion of several problems that now
face them, it is the hope of the own
ers that these may be solved satis
factorily within a short time, said
Mr. Smith.
The operators are planning for a
bigger and better operation than
existed before, and if such obstacles
as appear are overcome, construction
of the new plant will be under way
within a few weeks. Two or three
months, at least, will be required
to rebuild, however, and it is not to
be hoped that operation can be start
ed again before spring.
In the approximate total of four
months of operation, the razed mill
had produced three and a half mil
lion feet of lumber, and had just
reached a profitable production ba
sis when the1! fire happened.
Many men thrown out of employ
ment have moved away, with major
ity of the log haulers going to Ore
gon Lumber company near Baker. A
total of 55 employees, many with
families, were mostly thrown out of
work immediately by the fire and
some who are still working in the
woods end are uncertain just how
long their operations will be continued.
Good Response Made
