It Happened This Way
In
New Pine Creek
Bf IRVIN FARIS -
W-h-i-r-r-e-e-ee! sounded the lire
siren someone pounded frantical
ly at our Irani door. When we
bounded out ot bed the living
room was a lurid, tuckering red as
evil light danced in through the
widows. Our own building was on
lire! Oh no it Just can't be I But
it was!
; Donning pants I ran tilled two
buckets ol water that were never
used.
"Keys car keys where are
your keys?" someone shouted.
"Let's move your cars so ' they
won't blow up!"
The ire truck had Just pulled up
and everybody was on the move.
I moved the car, then ran for the
pump house. Thank Heaven! lor
the pump-house the long hose
. ready there the pressure-pump
' that worked. I dragged out about
a hundred leet of garden hose and
ran with It to the garage Just four
feet from the burning building.'
- The Good Lord and the NPC fire
department were with us! God
bless those men! God bless the pu
mice brick and the Johns Manville
asbestos white-top roofing. With
out them we would have been home
less and storeless once again with
the roof burned off our building.
Oh what a terribly empty feel-
, ing that was! As though one's
whole life bad all been in vain.
, Fiendish flames were leaping wick
edly in from the frame shanty that
stood Just west of our pumice
building. Fiery demons became a
reality! Hapidly they grew lick
ing in through the unfinished
open gable end of the double ga
rage, used for wood and storage.
They bit fast into the sheeting
along the under side of the roof
until it was a burst of flame clear
across the width of the buildings
end, burning back for three feet
Just above the wood. T'was then
the truck ran out of water. I stood
there playing on water from the
garden hose almost hysterical with
excitement and fright. The hose
proved a timely life saver while
the men on the truck went for an
other tank of water.
The Willow Ranch fire truck driv
erPaul Robinson was notified by
Buster Cundiff who dashed at a
hurried speed in his car for the
six mile run down to the WR lire
station. When it arrived the fire
which could have been so very de
structive, was finally subdued.
The little building a hang-over
from our fire in '49 was at one
time used by the Mt. Lily Cream
ery of Alturas as their milk test
ing quarters here at the state line.
Now it was in ashes but our build
ing was saved.

Believe us, folks! We are ex
tremely grateful to all who came
to our timely assistance. And we
are proud of our firemen and our
equipment. If you haven't made
your donation to clear up the $6UU
accumulation of bills on the new
fire hall now 13 the time to do it.
Xov may be next to sutler great
loss and damage. The fire has also
demonstrated the great need of a
water tanker us the next most im
portant factor of equipment for
community protection. We must all
work together to obtain, this need
ed equipment.
Ours was not the only excite
ment that has come to our peace
ful village this last weekend. Early
last Saturday morning some time
between 2 and. 3 o'clock, presum
ably, Alvin's Market was broken
into and an attempt was made to
cut open his safe with a blow
torch. Hypothetlcally this is what
happened! The would-be robbers
gained entrance to the Butler store
by cutting or breaking the lock off
the front door. Then they entered
and opened the rear door. Through
this they apparently brought in the
acetylene torch which they had
stolen from Joe Ayoutt's garage.
They were working at the safe in
the office at the rear of the build
ing about the time that'Alvin got
up and was stirring about prepara
tory to going buck hunting which
he later did. But he did not dream
of his place being burglarized as
he kept a light burning in his store
ever since his place was burglar
lzed about lour months or so ago,
He did not learn of the attempted
robbery until be was notified by a
messenger who went for him up
in the mountains. Nor did he rea
lize that his stirring around that
morning had probably frightened
the burglars away.
The culprits also tore the front
off of one of the drawers to his
cash register but nothing of value
Happened to be in that drawer
Nothing was stolen in the store un
less it' was a few packages or a
carton of cigarettes according to
wig H'GBcub Eaiuuftw ui tiie uwuers.
All this may be forboding but
my wile and I will still leave to
day on our planned trip to the post
masters convention at Philadelphia,
to be gone about three weeks.
Daughter Sue and her husband will
occupy our living quarters and take
charge with the assistance of Mrs.
Alpha Hartzog and Mrs. Grace
Bernard.
The Grange booster night and
dedication program held last Sat
urday evening was well attended
and the ceremony of dedication
was very impressive. It was the
more so, due to the fact that Elmer
McClure, state grange master, was
present ana gave a very fine talk.
Also nine or 10 of the past masters
were present including the Rev
Frank Simmons, the first master
who took office 35 years ago; Ed
Hartzog, the second Enstside mas'
ler; Fred Fisher, the third, and
his -son. Raymond Fisher, the
fourth who held office for six years.
Each one of the lour masters
gave short talks and songs were
sung by the congregation. There
were a few instrumental numbers,
a midnight supper and dancing to
the music of Opal Fitzgerald's or
chestra. The state grange will
award Eastside with a new elec
tric clock in honor of its long ex
istence and as part of the formal
dedication ceremony.
Oregon deer season opened Sat
urday and among the first to gar
ner their bucks were Emery Cook,
Kelton and Donald Butler, Jack
Means, Raymond Fisher and two
were gotten in the Verle Cook parly.
Oregon's steady supply of pure, wholesome

USBR Says Only One PM7
Project Paid Out In Full
WASHINGTON Wl The Bu
reau of Reclamation says the wa
ter users on only one of 24 Wash
ington and , Oregon reclamation
projects,- the Tieton Division of
the Yakima Project, have paid
their obligations in full to the fed
eral treasury.
The Tieton Division, a 37.353
acre unit which received its first
water 44 years ago was the first
federal reclamation project in the
nation in which water users re
paid the government for its ex
pense in bunging water to arid
land.
The Tieton Residents repaid
Uncle Sam a total of S3.449.U4.
The last payment was made in
February, 1947.
Another division of the Yakima
project, the Sunnyslde unit, had
as of June 30, repaid 13,816,571 of
its (4,187,005 obligation.
In all. water users on the 24
reclamation projects in the two
slates had repaid a total of $19,
423,086 of their obligations as nf
June 30. the bureau said, which
figures out to just slightly more
than a tenth of vhat the govern
ment Invested in the water fe'
tures of the projects.
Three projects have not passed
the development period and the
water users on them have not
started repayments to the govern
ment. These are the North Unit
Irrigation District of the Des
chutes Project, the Ochoco Reha
bilitation and the Kennewick Di
vision of the Yakima Project,
The overall obligation does not
represent the government's com
plete Investment in the projects
because some of the original hv
vestment was written off as ex
penditures for flood control, fish
eries or navigation.

Oil Business is
Local Business
' Just like the corner grocery or the neighborhood
barber shop, the oil business in Klamath Falls is a local
business employing bcal people to serve the needs of
local people.
Here in the Klamath area, for example, our General
Petroleum distributor office and 4 independently oper
ated Mobijkjas stations provide employment for 17 resi
dents of the area.
These people earn their livelihood here, pay their
taxes here, take part in their community activities,
shop at locally-owned stores, and raise their families
here. Like you and your neighbor next door, this is their
town - they take pride in its accomplishments and have
a stake in its future.
They are the local citizens who help comprise the
