FIRE DESTROYS a BARN
ON SAVER PROPERTY

Last Monday afternoon during a
strong wind storm fire was discover
ed In the barn on the lots adjoining
hte }. W. Saver residence. Tho
flames spread rapidly aud the barn
WAS soon entirely enveloped. The
fire engines had been In disuse for
NO long II was hard TO get them In
action and for few minutes II looked
an ~ tho sayer home as we'll m ad-
Joining residences In the same block
and across the street would ignite
and be destroyed. but bucket
brigade was formed and several OF
the younger men went on the roof
and kept the flames down, although
the roof and side next 10 the burning
barn caught several times.
The barn was not used regularly
but there was quantity OF dry hay
IN n where neighbor was In tho
habit OF feeding his team when he
came 0t town. Mr.. Sayor and his
daughters also used II to store un-
used clothing and things they deslr-
cd stored There was no insurance
on the barn therefore II is a complete
loss.
IL In thought tho fire was caused
by .carelessness upon the part OF
children playing in the barn.

that considerable amount of tiiia-

another feature that should be taken
into consideration.

Immediately following the lunch

OF our local citizens made a trip to

saw the conditions an they exist.

FAVORS IRRIGATION
Mr.. Nickel Ready to Back up
Project With Sacrifices;
Big Possibilities Here.

Mr., J. Leroy Nickel, President II
the Pacific Live Stock Company and
OF the Miller a. Lux Company OF Cab
ifornia was visitor In Burns, on the
23rd. His Company has $4,000 acres
In the Harvey Valley Irrigation Dis
trict which will be irrigated from
the storage system on Siivies River.
In discussing the future of Harney
County and development BY irriga-
ton Mr.. Nickel was very enthushias-
tic and stated thai his company was
ready TO stand behind the irrgatiou
district and assist In working out al
Its problems. That TO make the irri-
cation district n success aud 70 ex-
pidite construction work he stood
ready 10 cooperate with tho land
owners Of the District IN all matferu
and IL necessary all should mako
very material concessions both AZ
to the amount OF water neeeesary
for irrigation purposes and ~ TO the
matter of financing the district dur
Ing the present high interest rates
and high cost of labor and materials.
Caution was urged that tho cost
estimated should bo large enough 10
cover the actual cost. and that the
district be not put 10 the embarass-
ment OF a second bond issue To CON-
plete It's project. The district was
urged 10 make its preliminary in
vcstigation very complete and that
sufficient time be allowed for thor
ough consideration OF its plans but
that no unnecessary time bo taken.
Mr.. Nickel also called attention 10
the wonderful development OF tho
pumping projects In California ard
suggested that practically all OF Har-
ney Valley could be- covered by prh
vate pumping plants and urged that
this problem be worked out as tho
present high cost Of fuel WAS hut .
temporary matter and that cheap
fuel would result before there would
BE- great demand for IL.
That combine the use OF tho stored
waters OF Silyies River. and fuii CON
troll OF its floods. with pumping
plants the future OF Harney Valley
was assured and that {, would sooa
add hundreds OF thousands of acres
10 the irrigated area OF the State.
Ho further stated that his com
pany was ready TO subdivide iis
lands and place large tracts on tho
market At reasonable terms Just as
soon as there was something tang
BILE Ia show the prospective settler
IN the way Of irrigation. and that q
would be- n mistake To put n ssttisr
on land that he could not operate
pro;i,ably.
