MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
HAVE WE LEARNED OUR
LESSON?

Heppner has been visited by its
second disastrous fire within
month.
Four blocks of the little city have
been wiped out and large number
of our citizens caused TO suffer Sc
we're loss.
Following Immediately after the
fire of May q. some action was taken
to seek better fire protection. The
State Fire Marshals office was com
municated with and two men were
sent here to make survey. They
found conditions deplorable and have
presented their report to this effect.
This report while caustic in many
respects is complete and comprehen-
sive. OF the rs inspections made the
following results are shown:
80 unprotected and exposed build
ings.
80 places where rubbish was
found.
81 places where wiring was defec-
tive or not installed as per the Ma
tional Underwriters Electrical Code.
81 places found defective chimneys
or stoves.
13 places where floor and walls
were unprotected from stove heat.
places where gasoline was kept
other than in safety cans.
9 places ordered mo Smoking" re-
trictions.
Is places ordered metal cans for
oily waste and rags.
places ordered drip cans for
waste oil.
is places ordered metal cans for
trash and ashes.
places ordered fire exits in
stalled.
3S places found chimneys on
brackets.
The report then goes on and takes
up electrical hazards and gasoline
hazards and shows how many are the
disastrous and costly fires originating
from these sources alone, and calls
particular attention to many things
We have all been aware of for years.
Now, we have no intention to en-
ter into a severe criticism of anyone
because these conditions have not
been long ago corrected, for we feel
that all are guilty. We had gotten
into a rut; into state of inactivity
and settled down along the lines of
least resistance. Nothing had ever
happened in forty years of the city,
history so far as fires were concerned
but what had been met and overcome
and no very great damage done, so

Heppner has been hard hit, there
is no use denying the fact. Numer-
Gus families have been rendered
homeless, and it would seem that the
elements are against us, for what the
fire did not get, the water was after.
Still things are not so bad. They
are largely what we make them and
there is little use trying to get out of
the way of the elements. Let US put
on our smile, brighten up our faces,
roll up our sleeves and "go to it" for
the making of better city. People
are always stronger for overcoming
such difficulties. Let us down the
knocker and back up the optimist
in other words, maintain the Hepp-
ner spirit.

Parkers Mill enjoyed three days
celebration last week, beginning on
the 4th, and people gathered in there
from far and near. According to
T. Knappenberg there were 1000
people there during the three days
and many brought their tents and
camping outfits and remained
throughout the entire celebration. 1t
was a quiet and well-behaved crowd
and the days were full Of enjoyment
for all. The Heppner people went out
in large numbers, and these, of
course, were hurried home early the
evening of the 4th because of the fire.

Give the Boys a Meal!

1t has been very laudable work on
the part of the ladies of this community
to provide and serve luncheon on the
day of departure for the nine hundred
boys who have already gone into the
service from this county. Generous
donations and personal help has also
been rendered by the ladies from sew
eral other sections, but there are many
localities that have not yet done thell
part, and most urgent appeal is made
to them and to the people of the county
generally to assist in continuing this
good work. Many more boys will be
leaving next month to fight for the
protection of our .fresides, and it will
be loving token of our appreciation
to provide for each one of them good
meal on the day they leave the County
Seat for Camp Meade.
The ladies of this community will
gladly make all the arrangements and
serve the luncheon, but they need co
operation, financial help and liberal do
nations from other sections of the
county.
Mrs. Louis A. Griffith will acknow
ledge all contributions. May they be
made promptly and generously.

Private Allen Redmiles Shot While
Rescuing Girls.

Private Allen Redmiles, son Of Mrs.
E. A. Redmiles, of this town, and who
recently went to Camp Meade as one
of the drafted men from this county,
received the contents of both barrels
of shotgun in his right shoulder and
arm about l o'clock Monday morning
while answering a call to rescue three
telephone girls in the exchange. at
Sykesville, Md, from negro, who, on
the outside of the building, was firing
at those within. He is now in serious
condition at St. Agnes Hospital. Bal
timore.
Ben Dorsey, colored, who recently
completed a term in the Penitentlary
for robbing a store, went on spree
in Sykesville and threatened to kill all
the white people in the town. He de-
cided to begin with George Grimes, the
first man in sight, but George being
husky fellow, the negro changed his
mind and turned his attention, about
l O'Clock in the morning to an often
sive against the telephone exchange.
The three girl operators were almost
panic striker when the negro fired
several shots at the building. Private
Redmiles, was in Sykesville on brief
furlough. One of the girl operators in
the beseiged exchange called the house at
which he was staying and asked him to
come to the rescue. About the same
time DIR. w. F. Lucas heard the pistol
shots and called W. A. Crooks. These
two men armed themselves and hurried
to the scene of trouble. Crooks seized
the negro. In the struggle both went
down and the negro was getting de
cided advantage of the white man.
DIR. Lucas, alarmed at the way things
were going, tried to hit the negro on
the head with the butt of his shotgun,
but the firearm was discharged, the
loads from both barrels entering the
right shoulder and arm of Mr.. Red
miles, who, in the meantime, had come
up. Grimes, too, appeared about this
time, and the negro was quickly over
powered and taken to the Westminster
Jail.
Allen has always been a fine young
man, and his friends here sincerely wish
HIM speedy recovery.
