James Smart chief of the Calgary, N. W. T., fire department, is the guest of Chief Campbell, of the Portland depart ment. Mr. Smart talked entertainingly last night about firemen and their -work. He has been 21 years In different fire departments, and he was born in For farshire, Scotland. He said that he had just attended the sessions of the fire chiefs' convention recently held at Ta coma, and was pleased to renew his ac quaintance with Chief Campbell. "With the immense timber interests In and around Portland and its large water front, I am surprised that there is not a fireboat here," said Chief Smart. ' Sup pose a fire should start in one of the lumber mills along the river front; It would be next to impossible to extinguish the blaze without the help of a fireboat. At present, were a lire to break out, the greater portion of the water front would be burned out, and then the taxpayers would want to know why the fire was not extinguished. It is just a matter of luck that the mills along your river front have escaped destruction, when, small fires started there recently. "I have been out more than once with parts of the Portland fire apparatus since my arrival in the city, and I must say that I have been very favorably Im pressed with the smart, workmanlike ap pearance of the men. They are quick and correct, and their work bears the stamp of discipline. But I am aston ished to hear that the department is not a fully paid one. Portland is rich enough to pay every one of her firemen. It is not a modern system which has a few paid men to take the apparatus to a fire and have the call men run to the fire from their own homes, or from places where they are at work. Time Is every thing at a fire, and the quicker the fire men arrive the better chance there 4s to save property and life. "A number of interesting papers were read at the fire chiefs convention, one of the best being by Chief Campbell. He was offered the presidency of the con vention, but declined, and nominated the man who is now president. The con vention of fire chiefs will be held in this city before long, and Chief Campbell will be made president. He cannot refuse the office next time. "Calgary has a population of about 6000. We have 33 men in the fire department, composed 'of paid and call men. I have been chief of Calgary's fire department for six years, and have worked In differ ent fire departments in Ontario and the Northwest Territory." SONGBIRDS FROM GERMANY Fifty Pnlr.i of XIsrhtlngali Will Be Received in Octolicr. Another effort Is to be made to Introduce the German nightingale into Oregon, and arrangements have been completed which It is hoped will assure the success of the undertaking. The birds have been ordered through a New York dealer, and are al ready on their way to this country, and will probably arrive here about October 1. The matter was oricmated by A. Saling, of Jubitz & Saling, who raised over ?200, principally among citizens of German descent, for the purchase of the birds. Fifty pairs have been ordered and every precaution has been taken to secure their arrival at New York in good condition, and extra precautions will be taken to see that they receive every possible atten tion during their transit from New York here by express, this being the most try ing part of the long journey on the little songsters. On their arrival here they will be housed for the winter in a green house In City View Cemetery, where they will be carefully attended to and supplied with such food as they are accustomed to. In the Spring, sections of the roof will be opened and the birds allowed to go out by degrees, a plentiful supply of food being kept in the house for them, so that they may become accustomed to the place and .their liberty by degrees, and run no danger of suffering for food, which may not be plentiful at that sea son. It will be remembered that this Asso ciation for the introduction of German songbirds, organized here something over a dozen years ago, imported some nightingales in 1SSS and again in 1S92. but only a few of the original number shipped arrived here, and they were not in good condition after the journey, and although a few of them were seen and heard for a time after they were turned loose they finally disappeared. The skylarks, starlings, song thrushes ancT some of the other birds Imported by the association thrived and Increased and are now widely spread In this and adjoining states, but the nightingale appears to be less hardy than these. It is unnecessary to say anything about the beauty of the nightingale's song, as alj have heard of it even If they have not heard It. It Is to be hoped that the present experiment may successfully be carried out, and the sweetest of all songs ters added to the sweet songbirds of Ore gon. Mr. Saling Is contemplating the Introduction next Spring of a lot of mock ing birds, which he thinks will thrive here, but his plans are not yet matured. Enit Eleventh-Street Tracks. The double tracks on East Elevc-.t'i street, between Hawthorne avenue a-i. Division street, for the Portland City & Oregon Railway, will be completed ii 10 days. There is much complaint fr m property-owners on account of the w . the tracks are laid. It Is said that li places the tracks are lower than the es tablished grade, and that the street wi.I be seriously damaged. The track3 ar pear to be rather low. but City Engl-,',, Chase assures the property-owners t.it when the work Is finished there will tc no ground for complaint. The Inter:! -, as soon as the double tracks are finish' I is to give the street a thoroughly o r- haullng. The gutters will be cleanoa cut! and water given a way to run off
