OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT
vith one st the most efficient fire no truck shall be operated upon any
departments of any small city in the
United States Pretty broad state
ment, eh? Well, It isn’t broad
enough. We have the goods and we
know it, and that’s why we are go
ing to boast about it. for we have a
laudable exultation coming.
Our department is made up of the
city’s best, stalward. fearless young
men, and is captained by a young
man who has had years of experience
in fire fighting. Chief I. E. Putman.
Our equipment, while not the best
is more than sufficient for the pre-
sent city needs, and few towns the
size of Hermiston in the United States
can boast of an up-to-date automo-
bile fire truck, The truck is a re
cent acquisition to the department,
and demonstrated its usefulness
when it made a hard run out of the
city a few weeks ago.
There are several things all of us
can do to help make the department
more efficient. If you are in a car
and hear an alarm turned in, put
your car to the curb until the truck
has passed, this is a very essential
thing, and NEVER try to pass the
truck when going to a fire. When
you hear the siren on the truck, you
know it is coming fast, and get out
of the way and stay out of the way
until it has passed. The city ordi
nance about crossing a line of hose
with'any kind of vehicle will be
strictly enforced in the future, so be
careful and do not drive over the
hose.
Let’s get behind our fire depart
ment, give them every encourage
ment, and you can rest assured that
they will do their part.

Otis Skinner, the celebrated Amer
ican character actor makes his screen
debut in "Kismet,” . the Robertson-
Cole super-special which will be
shown at the Play House two nights.
May 15-16. It was with difficulty
that Mr. Skinner was induced to ap-
pear on the silver sheet, believing
his place to be on the legitimate
stage. However, the suggestion that
it was his duty to perpetuate "Kis-
met.” finaly won him over and the
success of the picture is complete.
