LOSES GOOD BIRDS IN A SUNDAY FIRE

Mrs. E. S. Hill of the Moxee Is Most Unfortunate With Her Fancy Bred Chickens

North Yakima friends of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Hill of the Moxee will greatly regret to learn that fired Sunday destroyed two new chicken houses on their ranch and killed several pens of choice barred and buff rock chickens. It was with the greatest difficulty that the Hill home was saved from destruction by the flames, but the volunteer work of neighbors effected that end. Mr. and Mrs. Hill have but recently moved their home to a new property which they have been fitting up as they wanted it and among their new buildings were chicken houses 12 by 60 feet, which were modern in every way. Mrs. Hill is widely known as an expert chicken fancier and has been a prize winner on many occasions at the Yakima state fair and other shows. She has been in ill health for a long time but this year had succeeded in establishing her flocks at a point for which she has been aiming and this loss of birds which have been taken time to develop is one of her big discouragements.

Mr. and Mrs. Hill had gone to visit friends Sunday and their attention was called to the smoke at their home. They returned instantly and found the neighbors fighting to save the house. The fire had started from ashes thrown out by a hired hand.
