TWO COUNTY
ORANGES UNITE
IN CELEBRATION
Enjoy Outdoor Picnic Din
ner in Park
ADDRESSES ARE GOOD
Heavy Rains of Night Before Cut
Down Crowd, But Attendance Is
Good-Races and Sports

The Oranges of Elmore and Owy-
hee counties united Wednesday in
holding in Mountain Home one of
the best picnics and get-together
meetings ever witnessed.
The heavy downpour of rain the
night before tended to cut down the
attendance from different localities,
but many were here from Glenns
Ferry, Bruneau, Grandyiew, Ham
NETT and other parts of the two
counties.
BY noon Railroad Park had been
very comfortably filled and soon
thereafter the good natured crowd
partook of the fine eatables which
had been provided for the occasion.
Fried chicken was provided in plen-
ty, together with all the good things
which go to make up fine feed
After dinner the assemblage was
treated to fine program given from
the band stand.
Mrs. ]. H. Groefsema was mistress
of ceremonies and introduced the
participants in the program in a
pleasing manner.
The musical numbers were all
good, and the Mountain Home jazz
orchestra made a big hit with the
audience.
The address of Dan Mclaughlin
in welcoming the Oranges to Noun
tain Home was in happy strain and
the addresses of State Master w. W. !
Deal, General D. A. Utter, Ray
Beach, Dove Dunning and the Rev.
Story of King Hill were well re
ceived.
Prof. Adams not only led the COM
munity singing in fine style, but rem
dered a solo which made a big hit
with his hearers.
After the program the visitors pa
raded the streets, led by the orches-
ira, and later various races were
staged on Front street, which had
been roped off for the day
Taking it altogether, the first
community picnic of ElmOre and
0wyhee Oranges was an unqualified
uccess, and it is safe to say that it
will be an annual affair in future.
The program as rendered follows:

No doubt there are many old tim

who will recall Harry Tregaslus,
who recently passed out.
Harry Tregaskis was one of the
earliest settlers in Mountain Home,
coming here with his parents in 'S2
from Nevada and remained here un-
til the family left in 'SS. His father,
Harvey Tregaskis,. was the first JUS
tice of the peace here and practiced
law in the land office as well as I'm
local courts in this section. His
grandfather, Richard Tregaskis, was
an attorney in Silver City and a
member OF the Territorial leglsla-
ture and later conducted a freight
ing business here and at Rocky Bar
and the upper regions, where he
was known as "Unele Dick" He

appearing at all times on the streets
here attired in a Prince Albert suit
and plug hat
Mrs. Cornwall of Portland was for
merly Miss Barbara Trekasluis and
lived here with the family.
The following clipping is from
the Oregon City Enterprise:
Harry Tregaskis was an adventur-
er and gambler to the end. and the
last time he cast the dice with fate
and lost he didn't squeal, his heart
just naturally broke, and he went
out smiling.
So say those who knew him-men
like Seneca Fouts, Manager ]. A.
Johnson of the Pantages theatre and
Judge Henry e. McGinn.

and hotelkeeper, died

as Frances representative in the fu-

been scheduled to do.
Accepts Responsibility.
The former premier told his inti.
mates that he had become fatigued
with attendance at sterile confer
ences which, he feels. are not &C.
complishing much. 1t is known that
he accepts on his own shoulders a
certain moral responsibility for
Frances poor showing at the Wash.

America before the controversial sub
marine question arose.
He also hints that he is tre-
mendously disappointed over the en-
tire lack Of results from the meeting
in Paris this week. under his chair
manship Of the league of nations
committee on disarmament. This
body adjourned until next July with
out accomplishing anything at all
and. although Viviani will auto.
matically remain as chairman at the
next sitting, he has declared def.
nitely that he will refuse to go to
Geneva next fall as the representa-
tive of France. r
Besides Vivianrs displeasure over
the leagues failure to take any steps
toward disarmament, he has found
that the many trips he has made to
other countries in the interest OF
France have depleted his own purse
and have ruined his Paris law prac-
tice. Now, he tells his friends, he
must stop and rebuild his business
for he 10 poor man.
Had Chance to Form Cabinet.
Political ambition plays no part in
viviani's retirement, even though he
might again be premier. His friends
recall that he had the privilege OF
declining the opportunity to form a
ministry only a few weeks ago, after
the resignation of Aristide BRAND,
and before President Millerand called
on Raymond Poincaire to accept the
prime ministry.
viviani was expected to play the
leading part for France at Genoa.
Premier Poincaire will head the dele
cation wien the gathering first

two. and after his departure it had
been expected that viviani would

SPECTACULARF|RE

City From Early Blaze at
9th and B Streets.
LOSS is PUT AT $4,000
Twelve Fire Companies Respond
to Three Alarms-Motorman
Sends in First.
LOSS IS PUT AT $4,000

Fire which rapidly assumed serious
proportions and threatened the de-
struction of commission houses in the
block between 9th and 10th streets
Louisiana avenue and B street north
west was discovered about 1885 o'clock
this morning. The blaze was spec
tacular |one. Much of the boxed
produce on the pavement on street
caught fire and burned fiercely, light
ing up the entire street.
The blaze originated. according to
police. in the lunchroom Of Luther
lager, s17 b street northwest, and
spread rapidly to the boxes on the
pavement and back into the building
Of William w. Leishear & Son, s15
and 917 B street northwest.
AS soon as the first fire companies
arrived on the scene two additional
alarms were turned in, calling out in
all twelve fire companies, including
the water tower.
Dense Clouds Of Smoke.
The blaze spread rapidly through
the first and second floors of the
building, sending forth dense clouds
of black smoke which made the fire
fighting difficult, and covered the
market section of the city with an
almost impenetrable fog. Eating Its
way through the Leishear store, ii
ignited the property Of Golden & Co.,
919 B street, and awnings and boxes
in front of the store of w. Charles

blazing.
Leaves Car to Send in Alarm.
The blaze was discovered simultan-
eously by j. B. Crowley, 4113 5th
street northwest, night watchman in
the section, and street car motor
man on the 9th street line. The lat
ter jumped from his car and pulled
the box at 9Th and B streets, just as
the night watchman came up. The
blaze spread rapidly, fed by the light
wood material, of which the produce
filled boxes were made. Before the
first companies arrived, it had gained
considerable headway, and realization
of the possibility of a. serious con-
fagration caused the prompt turning
in Of additional alarms.
Under Control at 2:15.
Considerable damage to the prod
ucts is expected to result from the
thousands of gallons of water from
the large number of streams which
were poured into the fire.
Although it was impossible to
make an investigation of the damage
while the firemen were working, w
w. Leishear estimated that the fire
and water damage to buildings and
contents of the structures affected
would approximate $4,000. Mr.. Lei.
shear estimated his damage at about
$4,000, stating that it was impos-
sible to determine it with a certainty

spected. In his building there were
two whole carloads OF sweet potatoes
and part Of a third. These may be
affected by the water.

to return to their quarters.
