A fire never occurs in Heppner but
that our citizens have reason to con-
gratulate themselves upon the splen-
did protection we have. Many is the
time the city has been spared ser
ious and costly conf1agration, that
would perhaps have paid for the sys-
TEN many times over in the losses
incurred. The city is also abundant
" supplied with hose carts, hose and
fire fighting apparatus, and there
seems to be but one thing lacking,
and that is an efficient organization
for handling it. A well drilled vol
unteer fire department is our worst
need just now. 1t was manifest on
Friday night at the Scrivner fire that
head to direct things was badly
needed; there was no lack of willing
hands-everybody was ready to work
but to no apparent advantage, while
few took the brunt of it and would
have been glad of little relief that
would have been granted them under
suitable direction. To be sure there
is no great complaint to make, but
these things might be handled to
much better advantage with an eff
cient organization.

of Thursday and Friday struck Nor
row county at just the opportune
time as much of the grain was be-
ginning to suffer from the northwest
wind that prevailed more or less for
the past two weeks. Winds from the
north and northwest are blighting to
crops throughout the Eastern Oregon
country, and it is a relief when wea-
ther conditions are such as to change
this order of things.

games to the best baseball towns from
a financial point Of view, as a rule,
although in some instances the
weaker clubs are favored sort Of
sop, or BOBBY prize. The older
leagues are disinclned to note or
comment upon the Federal League,
which is holding its own, and some
more. There are number Of new
contracts and new faces, although not
so many as formerly, enough to upset
calculations until after the season is
under way. The bitter rivalry for
players and contests over contracts
are almost entirely absent this year,
and the season opens with fairly
good slate. The clubs shift May II,
when the Western clubs 90 East, and

?. NJ. LAW OPTIMISTIC.

At the Lumbermen's State conyen.
ton, which opened in Houston Tues
day, the address Of welcome was de.
liyered by F. NJ. Law. formerly Of
Bryan, now vice president Of the First
National Bank OF Houston. This duty
had been assigned to John Henry
Kirby. but he was absent by impera.
tive business which called him from
the city, and his place was ably filed
by Mr.. Law. Optimism was the key.
note Of the address OF Mr. Law, who
spoke in part as follows:
Il know" said Mr.. Law, that this
is not voluntary lapse on the part
Of Mr. Kirby; that he would have
been here had Il been possible. It Is
a treat indeed for me to welcome this
convention TO Houston. This body o.
men are not strangers to Houston.
You have been entertained here be-
fore, and we feel that we know you,
and that's one reason why we're so
glad to have you with u.s."
Mr.. Law spoke Of a recent trip he
had taken over the State, saying that
he was agreeably surprised at the
optimism found.
Il expected" he said, TO find a lot
of discouraged people who we're
facing the future with little hopeful
ness. Instead found that they were
not discouraged; not dlsheartened on
the contrary. they are looking forward
TO brighter day, which they belieV>
will dawn in the near future.
"The foundation of Texas" he de-
clared, has not been shaken by the
disturbed conditions of the past year.
As TO the lumbermen. see no reason
why they should have cold feet. They
are safe. as are all other business
men who have conducted their bust.
ness along conservative lines"
MIR. Law closed by predicting the
best times this country has ever seen
when the Mexican situation has been
settled and the European war ended.
