IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS I fire about 9:30 p. m. by Paul Dugal who was coming home from church and turned in the fire alarm. It had not been known we had a vol unteer fire department but we can now prove we are well organized and ready for any emergency. The car had a tank well filled with gasoline and the blaze was running through the roof of the wooden garage when discovered on fire. The garage was saved with only a shall hole in the roof and the car with the exception of wood work and cushions, which may be used for a bug or a truck. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were the early arrivals at the fire and did very ef fective work. It is thought a short in the wiring somehow caused the Ig nition and when the gas tank became warm, the fire made rapid headway. H. C. Lane of the Umatilla Garage and Mr. Turner were in Irrigon on business Thursday. .Later, 'they were seen going home, ear loaded with hay. Looks like Herbert might be going into the dairy business. Jay Berry, who has been on thirty day leave of absence, returned to the Dalles Thursday and was assigned to first division firearms extra running out of Portland. Mrs. Berry reports he has been working every day since Looks like business has picked up a little. Mrs. Claud C. Clark and Mrs. Theo. Christenson of Arlington were the guests of Mrs. R. S.

Davis of Portland has held services at the Church every night, this week, returning to Portland Monday. The church speaks well for the speaker. To get out a. crowd except at a ball game these days, is something in itself. writer judges the smile Genevia is wearing, might mean more than that. The ball game Sunday between Umatilla and Irrigon turned out rath er one sided, the score being 9 to 17 In favor of Umatilla. The Irrigon team played with many disadvantag- es. Jay Berry who had to return to work for the O-W. R. R. & N. out of Portland, crippled the team to start with. Lawrence Markhams arm ave out early in the game. Mar- ball Markham wrenched his leg in the fourth inning and had to retire. Dale Watkins could not take part, causing an entirely different line-up all around. Raymond Jordan, one of the school boys had to be taken In for a pitcher before the end of the 7tli inning but he made a remark- able pitcher for a couple of rounds but could not hold out. However, everybody had a good time. The Irrigon boys made the nine runs In the 7th inning so that was worth the fifty cents of any man’s money. ---------------------------- ; Minnehaha News Notes ’ BROWN AND GOLD LEAVES Umatilla High School (By Lotis Davis) The botany class is busily engaged in collecting specimens for herbari- urns.

For a few 1 years they remained a part of 1 Massachusetts, but early in 1030 the people of these three towns . met and drew up a written con- , stitution and agreed to govern ’themselves. Meanwhile, In 1638, 4 a large company of colonists nn- - der the leadership of John Dav- lenport arrived from Englund and «settled the town of New Haven, later spreading to Milford and Stamford. These two distinct . colonies were later united and took the name of Connecticut ; A from its principal river.
