SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Fire was discoveded upstairs in the
house of Harve Walpole about 6:30
a. m. Tuesday morning. Mr. W. G.
Corey who is visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Walpole had built a small fire in the
heater to make it more comfortable
for the children to dress themselves
by, and in a short time the sparks
were falling down through the ceil
ing, and wondering what was the
matter Mr. Corey ran upstairs and
discovered the room full of smoke.
He ran down hurriedly and aroused
the rest and further attempt was
made to gain entrance to the room
upstairs with buckets of water, but
it was too late. The smoke and
flames were beyond control. The
fire department turned out immedi
ately to check other buildings and to
help carry out everything moveable
Practically everything was saved but
the house is flat in ruins. This was
one of our best residences and It is
to be regretted fire gained such head
way before discovering same.
The baseball dance Thursday even
ing proved to be quite a success and
all reports a fine time.
Mr. W. M. Friend, an old time Ir-
roginite was in town visiting friends
Thursday and Friday.
Mr. C. L. Smith, (Farmer Smith
of the Union Pacific Agricultural
department) '.ias instructed Mr. Sea
man, their agent at this place to
handle the corn situation in every
way as in former years. Those who
have not had any free seed corn be
fore, may secure enough to plant one
acre without any charge. Those
who wish to build silos, enough seed
will be furnished free to fill silo. A
supply of seed corn is on hand at
both Messner and Irrigon stations
and the supply at Messner will be
shipped to Irrigon as maybe needed.
This is the yellow dent but we also
have a limited quantity of White
flint, seed from stock that has ma
tured in this district planted as late
as July 15th. Additional seed may
be had at 8 1-3 cents per pound on
the cobb.
A number of ladies interested in a
community day in connection with
the closing events of the local school
met with Prof. Anderson Friday aft
ernoon and- decided to promote a
community dinner Wednesday, May
11th. A managerial committee was
chosen with Mrs. George Rand at the
head, assisted by Mrs. M. E. Lester,
Mrs. H. C. Wolfe, Mrs. M. E. Doble
and Mrs. Nora Castle.
It was decided to ask each house
hold to provide a wellstocked bask
et of eatables, comprising a sub-
stantial proportion of solid foods and
a moderate quantity of pasteries,
cakes, ect. as usual. Arrangements
will be made to serve coffee, so it is
recommended that the basket con
tain a few cups and spoons. Cream
will be solicited and sugar furnish
ed somehow. Mrs. Doble and Mrs.
Howard were chosen to serve the
coffee; Mesdames II. C. Wolfe, H. T.
Walpole, Nora Castle, M. E. Lester
and E. H. Anderson will have charge
of the serving of the food. It is be
lieved that efficient and orderly
plans have been devised for the ser
vices that will meet the approval of
all.
*
The dinner will be at the new
school building and baskets should
be placed in the hands of the com
mittee between ten-thirty and eleven
thirty if possible.
There will be games and sports of
various kinds by the school pupils
from ten In the morning until noon.
Afternoon entertainment by the
school and graduating exercises. The
play so much advertised will be given
in the evening beginning at eight
o'clock sharp. It Is entitled “Among
the Breakers" a drama in Iwo acts
with appropriate music before and
between acts. The home talent forc
es have spared no time in trying to
get their parts down but have had
various difficulties owing to some of
the participants being called away
on business and having to fill in with
other new members. There will be
no charge for admission to the play
or any of the doings and everybody
is invited. As the writer understands
it. We will be glad to welcome our
neighbors from Boardman to Her
miston and from other places.
It was the intention to dedicate
the new school building on this day
and this may be posible yot. The
matter has been taken up with the
Masonic order and the Tuscan Ledge
of Umatilla, Oregon is now trying to
get special arrangements to carry
out this dedication plan on this day
but It will be a question if time per
mit it. If it cannot be done on May
11th, the plan will be carried out
at a later date before the school
opens for the next term.
Everybody In the district will be
expected to devote at least a portion
of the day to a general community
meet if at all possible.

This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children unaer five
years of age, but when no paregoric,
codeine or other opiate Is given, is
easily cured by giving Chambe rlain’s
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that it must run its course, not know
ing that the time is very much short
ened, and that there is little danger
from the disease when this remedy
is given. It has been used in many
epidemics of whooping cough, with
pronounced success. It is safe and
pleasant to take. Pd. Adv.
