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.

A Grand Champion 1920
Pacific Internation'l Show
A hog Is a hard thing to photo
graph. 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

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
