Roof Fire Welcomes
Gates Residents
Back from Trip
GATES—Mrs. Arthur Black
burn and her daughter, Mrs.
Clarence Ball, returned home
about 11 a. m. Thursday from
an extended trip through Wyom
ing and Arkansas where they
visited several relatives not
seen for 12 years or more, They
returned by train, and were
met in Salem by another daugh
ter, Mrs. Clare Henness.
At home they received the
warmest of welcomes, however,
with the Gates Fire department
standing by for a roof fire at
the Blackburn home, where they
had been called about 10:15. The
fire is believed to have started
in a defective flu, and spread
over the upstairs with consid
erable roof damage. Quick ac
tion by the firemen kept it from
being a complete loss.
The fire alarm was turned in
by someone passing on the
highway, and was unknown to
Mr. Blackburn or his daughter-
in-law Mrs. Charles Blackburn
who lives in a house at the rear.
Much neaded rest by the trav
elers will be delayed until the
cleanup from water damage,
and repairs can be made, but
they report there is “no place
like home.” and after seeing
the winter storms in Wyoming,
and snow in Idaho, Oregon look
ed wonderful!
