ment. outside of the building The
most important problem to be solv-
ed at the present time, is that of
location. 1t is thought, however,
that n vacant store building will be
fitted up for use until a permanent
site can be secured and a building
erected. The building which the
company has in mind will be remod-
eled to a great extent and both floors
az well as the basement will be util-
ized.
IL Is llt pun BVoC VI N''N
SAYS Mr.. Hill, to carry on general
retail and wholesale business and to
be in a position to supply the tribu-
tary country as we'll as the immediate
vicinity with the mills products He
has been convinced for some time
that the field here was ideal Tor a
business of this kind and the move
has been contemplated for several
weeks. While on his vacation the
manager took occasion to visit a
number of planning mills with view
to selecting the most practical ana
up-to-date plan for the Pendleton
mill.
The plans have progressed so far
that the company is already in the
mill business, arrangements having
been made with Walla Walla con-
Germ to fill their orders until the To-
cal plant can be placed in operation
Mr.. Hill is therefore in a position to
figure on orders for all kinds of mill
products.

Hood River, Ore, Aug. 31.-Forest
fires which for several days have been
burning through Hood River county
and east of here, today gained re-
newed fury. Owing to the inacces-
slbility of the country details are
meager. Also telegraphic communi-
cations are disrupted by fire. Early
today lines connecting Portland and
other Oregon cities with the east
were reported down. This with the
fact that fires have burned the poles
and levelled the wires in southern
and central oregon has resulted in
practically tying up Portland and vi
clnity from communication by wire.
Owing to the number of fires in
close proximity here. the atmosphere
is becoming hazy. Conditions are not
serious except for the interruption of
communication.

seven young children, burned beyond
recognition, were found today in the
ruins of the st. Malachis home for
children at Rockaway Park. Fire
men are seeking others. The discov-

police reported after the fire. last
night that all children were safe. The
courage of the Sisters of Orphanage
with the prompt response of the chill
dren to the fire drills saved hundreds
of little lives. 1t is unknown how the
seven dead were separated from their
companions. They were found hud-
died in the mass room on the Sec

Nearly a thousand children mad

twelve years OF age. The fire started
In the engine room at seven last night.
The children had just retired and the
sisters were at their devotions. The
fire drill was sounded and spectators
cheered as the twelve year olds ap-
peared carrying babies. AS soon as
the children were in the street the roll
twas called and all were reported safe.
The refugee children were taken to
the Hebrew sanitarium next block.
Despite the belief of firemen that
seven children are all who perished.
one of the sisters today said she is
confident three more bodies are in
the ruins. The search continues.
