The Harlem 'bridge. High bridge, the "Washington bridge, the new BlackwellVs Island bridge, in and around New York, all are wonderful In my eyes, and yet there, are pome other bridges we have seen which are also in teresting. "Of course, out In Portland we have no such vast crowds to cross our bridges as you liave here, and tho bridge we have In anticipation being a railroad bridge, tho foot and wagon details of your wonderful structures and the wonderful structures' we have seen in other cities arc merely contingent Incidentals, but very interest- ,nS-' " "But could you not give some state- pnent jus to what the people of Portland imight expect as a result of your trip iEast, regarding the anticipated bridge over me wmamettei ' m "Yes, they will have one of the .finest bridges In the country. and win have it Just as soon as possible, but as to going into long details, I must ask to be -excused." . ... r Captain A.

Questions concerning the location of new engine companies formed the basis of discussion at the meeting of the fire commissioners last night. The sentiment prevailed among the members In regard to tho establishment of an engine com pany on Portland Heights that the real dents of that section ought to meet the city half way in the ma'tter of. acquiring a lot. The Council has appropriated JH.TCO for" a now engine company with combination chemical' and iosc wagon for .the Heights, but there Is np provi sion for securing a lot except out of this sum. which Is not considered ade quate to meet the requirements of the situation. "Under the circumstances the Mayor and members of the committee were unanimously of the opinion that If the people of the Heights are as anxious to secure better fire facilities as they ap-" pear they will endeavor to aid the cltj in getting a lot. Jn view of the fact that Councilman Masters suggested something of the sort at the' Council meeting the other night. Secretary Weldicr was: ln-i structed to communicate with him upon the 'subject. A location for Engine Company No. 2 likewise occupied the attention of the commissioners somewhat. Two sites have been suggested, one at Fifth and Hoyt streets, under some arrangement wltH the Terminal Company, and the other near the approach to the Third-street Steel bridge. The sum of has been -appropriated for thir -company, which -is already equipped with a first-clasa engine, the "amount In question to be devoted to the purchase of hose, horses and other smaller Items, besides the erection of a brick engine-house. Tho site near tho terminal yards at Third and Hoyt streets meets with the most approval from members of the fire commissioners, as well as Chief Campbell, and is considered Ideal In respect to gen eral availability on account of Its proxim ity to the bridge, rendering Its ase on the East Side whenever necessary, besides easy access for a quick dash, up Third street. Both, the Terminal Company and the Willamette Iron Works 'are anxious to secure the cstabllsbnterit of the engine company, there, but some fejoctiear exists In tho Council orr account of the proposed site "blocking that portiori qf Third street in front of the Iron works and preventing free passage around through Hoyt. The committee will further Investigate tho situation this afternoon and probably re port conclusions, at the. Executive. Board meeting. t . The following, appointments of h'ose men in the fire department were reported: Earl Chase C E. Thombrun and A. F. Howlett, Engine Company No. 10, the new Fulton company; Henry J. Eperson, En "gine Company No. 4; W. S. Coleman. George Johnson. Engine Company No. 1. and Richard D. ILaisner, Engine Company .No. 3. The resignation of .William C. Riopelle. hoscman. of Engine Company No. 10, was announced. Residents of Milwaukle avenue and Caywood- street petitioned the- commissioners-for a Sre alarm box In that vicin ity, and it was resolved to- request the Council to make the necessary appropria tion. It was reported that W. J. Taggart, the hosecart driver whose eye was badly in jured recently by an accidental blow from a whip, will not lose his sight, bolng now in a fair "way to recovery. ' - The report of Chief Campbell ' shows that the department responded to Si alarms, during the month, the most seri ous of which was the Lutke fire at Fifth and Hoyt streets. - -v t ELECTS ITS OFFICERS.
