Seventy-Five Acres
Yield 22Bushels Per

Glen and Alva Jones have just fin
ished threshing seventy-five acre
field on their place on Heppner Flat.
The grain is of excellent quality and
went 221 bushels to the acre. These
boys have another field of five hun
dred acres that they will begin on
right away, and while they hardly ex-
pect as good production per acre, 1t
promises well and will turn out lot
of grain. The small field just finish
ed was one on which the boys were
advised to pasture hogs in the early
part of the season, as some of their
neighbors predicted the crop would
not be more than three bushels per
acre, if harvested. They are well
satisfied with the results obtained.

Phase Accept Our Thanks.

The thanks of the Gazette-Times
family is extended to our old friend,
John w. Rasmus for a splendid mess
of vegetables from his gardens at the
Balm Fork ranch. Cabbage, potatoes
turnips and carrots made up the col
lection, all of which was as fine as
produced in the land. John took up
farming this spring when, with his
son, Orve. they purchased the Brun-
dage farm just beyond the eastern
boundary of the city Of Heppner, and
we wish for them the success indicat-
ed by the quality of produce left at
this office, in all the productions of
the farm.

SCHOOL SUPER|N.
1ENDENTS MEET
Convention Held in Salem-Mon-
mouth and Corvallis Visited
u. S. Commissioner ClaxtOn
Speaks.
BY Supt. S. 4. Notson.

The county superintendents' con-
vention, held in July, was one of the
most interesting and profitable which
has been held. The superintendents
met U. S. Commissioner of Education
Claxton, State Superintendent Chur-
chill, President Kerr, and Prof E. D.
Ressler in a round table conference
at the O. A. c., Corvallis, on the 9Th.
The following day, the regular
work was taken UP at Salem. Thirty
three Of the thirty-five superinten-
dents were present. Many questions
of supervision were considered. The
industrial work came in for fair
amount of attention. The interest in
these lines is steadily increasing. The
new high school tuition law brought
forth much discussion. The probable
effect of the law requiring applicants
for certificates to have either six
months experience in teaching or a
certain amount of normal training
after Sept. of this year was care
fully considered.
Following the custom established
several years ago, the superinten-
dents visited the Oregon Normal
School at Monmouth one day. Over
five hundred students are in attend
ance. Mrs. Ivanhoe, of Union county,
and the writer were selected by the
superintendents to represent thin in
addressing the students. The domes-
tic science department served splen-
did lunch at the noon hour. The var
ious classes we're visited, and the SUI
perintendents were pleased with the
high class work being done.
On the 18th the superintendents
went with the crowd to see the Lib
erty bell. After the bell started on
its journey, Commissioner Claxton
addressed about 450 students who
came over from the Normal School,
the county superintendent and a
large number of citizens of Salem and
vicinity at the Salem high school au-
ditorium. This was scholarly ad-
dress, full of thought and patriotic
| sentiment.
The State Superintendent announc-
ed that each county will be entitled
to send two boys and two girls to the
school camps at the State Fair this
year. These will be selected from the
winners in the industrial ork at the
county fairs. Here is a chance for
some live Morrow county boys and
girls.

DISASTROUS FIRE At HARDMAN DOES
$4,000 DAMAGE, PARTIALLY INSURED

wet quilts and blankets on adjoining
buildings and keeping them soaked
with water the fire was checked and
much valuable property saved.
Just how some of the nearby
houses escaped destruction is some
what of mystery. The residence of
Mr.. Devore is situated but about
twenty feet to the rear OF the black
smith shop, yet it was saved, while
the fire crossed the street, about 100
feet and licked up the drug store. 1t
Is evident that what breeze there was
carried the heat in that direction.
The buildings on that side of the
street were not thought to be in SER
ious danger, and before it was real
lied the drug store was in flames.
The buildings in which Rossan
Bros. had their shop, belong to Doric
Lodge No. 20, X. of P. of Heppner.
These boys sustained loss of about
$4,000, covered by $1,000 insurance.
The building carried $400 insurance.
George Bleakman had his Overland
car in the shop, and this was destroy
ed. Mr.. Bleakman was fully covered
with insurance on the machine and
will be able to replace it without
much loss.
The general store of Albert Emery
is a total loss, as he carried no in
surance. He had intended placing
insurance on both stock and building
but failed to attend to it promptly
and now $4,000 would hardly make
good the loss sustained.
Mrs. Chapin's residence, with a
large part of the furnishings, entailed
loss of $500, with no insurance.
Mr.. Wyland's loss on residence and
fixtures is at least $500. and we
were unable to learn whether he car
ried any insurance at this time. Mrs.
Wyland mourns the loss Of number
of family heirlooms and collection
of choice dishes that she had been
years in accumulating.
The fire was fierce while 1t lasted
as everything was dry and burned
very rapidly. sThe lack of proper
fire a.ghting apparatus made it i'm
possible to check the flames when a
building once caught and the blaze
got under headway. Everybody
fought valiantly. however, and sue
ceeded in checking the flames and
confining them to the district burned.
1t is reported that the schoolhouse
was fired by blazing embers, but this
being discovered early was extin-
guished by a bucket of water.
George Bleakman was considerably
Jared up by a fall or two from the
roof of the livery barn. No other ac-
cidents were reported.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-07-29

A disastrous fire occurred at Hard
man on Monday night in which three
business houses and two residences
were destroyed. That the entire
town was not wiped out can be at
tributed to the fact that there was
no wind at the time and the citizens
Of the community were able on this
account to confine the flames to a GER
tain district.
The fire was discovered between
~ and 1-o'clock in the blacksmith
shop of Rossan Bros, and the flames
had gained such headway that there
was no chance of saving the build
ing. From this building the flames
jumped the street and soon enveloped
the drug store of DR.. G. G. Gaunt,
destroying this building with its con-
tents and the general store of Albert
Emery which stood along side of it.
Just back of these were the res
licences of Mrs. Geo. Chaplin and J.
H. Wyland which were the next to be
swallowed up in flame, and at this
point the fire was brought under con-
troll.
There seems to be some question
as to just how the fire started, some
reports stating that it was from the
forge in the Rossan shop. This theory
seems to have been disproved, how
ever, as Mr.. Rossan is positive there
was no fire in the forge in the shop
at quitting time Monday evening. 1t
has always been his habit to see that
the fires were entirely extinguished
before locking up at night, and on
Monday evening he had been particu-
lar in the performance of this duty.
AS the fire had gained such headway
when discovered that it was not pos
sible to locate where 1t had originat-
ed, it is likely that it was caused by
the carelessness of someone in throw
ing down a cigar or cigarette stub on
the sidewalk in front of the building.
A small chemical engine, owned by
the city, was early brought into play
on the fire, but something went
wrong with it before it had been used
long and it had to be abandoned.
This left the people without any fire
fighting apparatus of any sort and
they had to resort to the old bucket
brigade method. By the placing of

Henry Scherzinger finished putting
up what little hay crop he had during
the past week. Usually Mr.. Scherzin-
ger cares for about 100 tons of hay
but this season he was able to get
but fifteen tons, this being all there
was left after the hoppers had got in
their work. Other farmers along the
creek in his neighborhood have suf-
fered much damage but none to the
same extent which Henry did.
