MONDAY, OCTOBER 10,' '192T RADOVAN PLANT 1 DOWN L0SSS33,500 Largest Fruit Drying Estab lishment in Southern Oregort Totally Destroyed By Fire . Early Sunday Morning About $20,000 Insurance. Fire of unknown origin totally de stroyed the Radovait fruit dryer plant located at the end of North. Fir utreet, between North Central ave nue and the Southern Pacific tracks, and Immediately adjoining the latter on the east. The estimated logs is $33,500, di vided into $28,000 on the building and equipment and $3,u00 on fruit awaiting Bhlpment and In process of drying. The exact amount of Insur ance carried has not yet been ascer tained but Mrs. Anna Radovan, who has operated the plant since the death of her husband lust winter, said this forenoon that she thought it was in the neighSbrhood of $20,000. s Two car loads of dried pears sack ed ready for shipment were destroyed In the fire. A large quantity of dried pears still In crates In the yard of the plant were saved. ', The fire coming as It did in 'the . midst of the season will throw many women and girls out of employment. The ' average . number employed throughout the drying season wuh from 40 to GO, although only a small number wore employed lately, as It was In between the pear andtp pie drying seasons. Then, too, the destruction of tho plant will be folt by the orehardista, as. it formed a largo market for cull pears and apples. The cause of tho flro is unknown as tho plant, a largo one-story frame structure was all ablaze when the fire was discovered ut B a. m. Sunduy. . When the firomen reached tho Bceno the building was doomed, so much so that to throw water on It would bo a heedless waBto of time and energy, therefore tho firemen laid 1000 fca of hoso In such a manner as to muko It Instantly available for use In enso near by buildings caught flro. Tho fire was spoctucular and dnn gorous in its menace to dwellings on Welch street, Just across from tho Southern Pacific trucks. Tenants of these structures, which were endan gered by the intonse heat nnd flying sparks, wet the roots and sides of their homes with lawn hose as a mnt ' ter of precaution. TJio firemen paid especial attention to tho iPuhlman Bakery building on- Central avenue, about 300 feet away. Fortunatoly there was no wind or breeze, nnd the fire was confined to tho dryer plant. ' One conjecture is thut .tho flro started from n sulphur pit. Saturday afternoon had been devoted nt the plant to the Mooching of the dried .fruit through the BUlphur process, the sulphur being burned in pits to bleach the exposod dried fruit white. The surphur fire was presumably out at 6 p. m. Saturday. Js'o night wutch nian is employed at the plant. The, only part of tho plant loft standing Is the exterior of tho largo dohydrator oven, an esponslve one, y which howevor Is ruined. Last year the Kadoven drying plant at Central Point was destroyed by flro. OF THE CHICAGO FIRE Tho fiftieth nnnlversnry of tho be ginning of the great Chicago flro was Oct, 8th nnd "Flro Prevention Week". October 9 to IB, is being celebrated and we call attention to tho pnge ad of Bomo of Bedford's progressive firmsMilong this line. While carelessness is considered to be the chief cause of our huge fire wusto, Ignorance Is also a large factor ana consequently the Imimrtnnce of education In fire prevention enn not be ovcr-emphU8lzcd. Flro Is a community proposition nnd not simply a mutter of Individual con-, cern. since every firo affects every body through its oxtonsivo ramifica tions, and this truth Is becoming slow ly, but surely, recognized. The result Is soen In tho growing Interest In flro prevention nnd cleanup campaigns shown by chambers of commerce, trade associations, women's clubs, and other bodies concerned with civic bet terment. All progressive fire chiefs ore active in promoting firo preven tion with tho thought ever In mind of "fighting fires before they start." Clean up your premises this week and help with the movement to pre- vent fires. llolliiiKluim Poslinn.stor Dies. BKLLING11A.M, Wash., Oct. 10. George H.

To begin with. It stands low on tho ground nnd it is difficult to get u background which niukos it "stand out." In addition, tho ling doesn't care whether it has its picture, taken or not it hns no prldo in Its own beauty nnd that beauty iv real enough M those who breed and produce swlno beauty in line, in typo and In detail. Last year Cuss A. Nichols, a young breeder, came from Salem to tho Pa cific International with his Chester Whites and competed for honors with tho older breeders. Cass was nt one tlmo n member of a boys' pig cmb nnd what ho learned and applied In it he hns carried on in his business ns a swlno breeder This sow. ".Model K," wua urn ml champion sow nt tho I'aeltlc International. She had n hard fight to win, but she does not seem to show the strain. Club boys nnd girls nro coming to tho front. Tho older breeders nro most generous with their advice nnd assistance, and It Is probable that they showed and felt ns much pleasure in the winnings of Nichols n8 Nichols did I himself. This year, the Pacific International j Livestock Exposition Is even more lib- j oral with lis premium and financial j encouragement than It was a year 1 ago. It offers 13(H! for the boys' nnd ; girls' exhibits and J750 for the Judg ng contest. Tho Portland 1'nlon i Stockyards coinpnny hns offered J400 j for n pig feeding contest for pig club : members, o. M. ritimmer offers n I $25 scholarship for the highest scoro ! in Judging. Other Individuals and In- j stltutlons are equally generous. Every I encouragement Is held out to the boys ' and girls to Improve their knowledge ' nnd develop Into Intelligent, experi enced nnd successful stockmen and stockwomen for the girls are often ns good ns tho boys nt this work.
