    3. PART THREE OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE'S TEN-PART SERIES. April 27, 2007 Page 7 BARBER SHOP CLIENT GETS AN UNEXPECTED BATH FLUE FIRE - Monday night the flue in Parkins' barber shop was burned out, and the paper near the hole in which the pipe was put into the flue, caught on fire. Henry Johnston, the bootblack, noticed it, and immediately picked up a bucket of water, and, with a vigorous swing, sent the contents against the burning paper and extinguished it. In his excitement, however, he did not notice that Mr. Long was shaving a customer near the flue, and the result was that the customer got a bath thrown in with his shave without bargaining for it. Mr. Long got indignant and Henry didn't even get thanked for his part in the transaction.
