14 THE -MORNING OREGOMAX, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. lOS, FIRE CHIEF ASKS FUND OF ,3 OS Annual Estimate Includes Sal aries, New Stations and Running Expenses. NEED FOR MORE HYDRANTS Fully Equipped Companies In Cer tain Districts and Houses of Brick Among the Import ant Recommendations. Fire Chief David Campbell wants the City Council to appropriate 1639.- S09 for his department for 190, ana with this money he proposes to oper ate the arm of the municipal service over which he has direction, pay an salaries and running expenses and add seven new station-houses. He filed his annual estimate with City Auditor Barbur yesterday afternoon, as re quested by Mayor Lane. Chief Campbell recommends that 21.9S9 worth of new equipment, in cluding the seven additional station houses, be added to the department and the most Important item in the Hat. he States, is the one which calls -for an engine company at the foot of Third street. This is in the heart of the great wholesale district, and is needed most urgently, as Is admitted by all of the city's officials having to do with fire department matters. It is believed by some that, had there been such a company In the place named during th's year, the bin fires which raged in that vicinity, destroying; sev eral blocks of property, would at least 4iav been checked with far less dam age. Need for More Hydrants. Xext In importance, in the opinion of Chief Campbell, is his recommendation 'that the city purchase 600 hydrants, so that ' they may be distributed throughout the districts where there are now none, or few at the best. The Council recently ordered the purchase of SJO hydrants, and bids are now be- Ina. .mi irl. r . - ,,, ho twn lnt vrmilrt srlve 1000 hydrants, and greatly aid In' relieving: the situation all over the city. There would be required 145 men to operate the fiie department on the basis recommended by Chief Campbell In his annual estimate. Their salaries would aggregate 1310.800. This in cludes one chief, one assistant chief, three battalion chiefs, one superintend ent of the fire-alarm system, 29 cap tains, 23 lieutenant's, 16 engineers, 44 drivers. otf nosemen. 27 Iaddermen and a number of others necessary to make up the total list. Chief Campbell's estimate provides for fully-equipped companies at Fif teenth and Montgomery streets, in the vicinity of St. Vincent's Hospital, at Third and Gllsan streets, in the vicin ity of Twenty-second and Thompson streets, in the vicinity of Mount Tabor, In North Alblna and- on Willamette Heights. These, Chief Campbell recom mends, should be brick houses, as he fully believes the time has come when the city should build no more frame stations. In this view he is supported by Mayor L.ne and" the members of the fire committee of the Executive Board. Cost of Improvements. It will cost $:6.TS0 to build each of these houses and Install the equipment, which consists of one third-size engine, one combination chemical and hose wagon, heater and connections, five sets of harness. B.ibcocks. ceiling and door springs and five horses. Chief Campbell recommends some new equipment for various other sta tions, which. If granted, will material ly strength the department all over ' the city. If the City Council grants the items recommended by the chief. Portland's fire department will be greatly strengthened next year, and protection will be extended to sections now abso lutely without help In case of fire. Owing to the rapid growth of the city In all dltertlons. It has been a difficult task to keep up with It In furnishing adequate safeguards against fire, and there are large districts wholly at the mercy of the flames. DEPICTS WIFE AS VIXEN ARTHUR COX IS GOADED BY FEMIXIXE RULE. In Reply to Divorce Suit Says He Is Continually Napped and Badly Treated. That his wife, a large, vigorous wo man. 39 years old, and weighing 240 pounds, continually nagged him, both In public and private, because of his deficient education, and neglected to cook his meals or to mend his clothes, are the charges made by Arthur Cox -In his answer to Flora Cox's divorce suit, filed In the Circuit Court.

Even on their own place, he says, his wife refused to re main at home, but Went to Wildwood, in Southern Oregon, sending him a farewell message In which she said she never Intended to return, and that she hoped she would never see him again. Cox returned to Portland, and In a few months his wife came back. She had been working in mining camps. After remaining with him in the city for a short time she went to work as a cook In a lumber camp. The climax of Cox's troubles came when his wife surreptitiously took their adopted girl, the sewing machine, and her personal effects, and went to work with a Woodstock family for $21 a month; returning later to break the doors to the Cox home, and store the furniture In a -warehouse.

The railroad tie industry, which for over a dozen years was an important factor In the prosperity of Eastern Multnomah County, is rapidly nearing its end. During that period at least 2J sawmills were engaged In the business a few milos east of Gresham. but of the few remaining none are now cutting railroad ties. When the mills stopped making ties another important industry was de stroyed, that of hauling the finished product to the railroad at Troutdale. Only four sawmills are now in opera tlon west of the Sandy River, and they are all engaged in sawing merchantable lumber, which is more profitable, al- though ,the price of railroad ties has gone to double their cost of five years ago. Two or three tie mills are still work ing east of the Sandy River. They find tie-cutting more profitable than saw ing lumber because of the distance from any market. Nor do they have to haul their ties to the railroad, be cause they can float them down the Sandy River to Troutdale, where they are taken out of the water by an end less chain elevator and stacked for shipment. About 300,000 ties are now ready to be floated down, and they will be set adrift as soon as the rains raise the river high enough to provide a swift current which will keep the ties In mid-channel. A heavy boom at Troutdale checks them when they ar rive there. It will only be a few years more until the tie industry will be ended In that section. Then the mills will have to go farther Into the mountains and de pend upon branch railroads for -de livery MARVELOUS AS MARKSMAN Johnny Baker, Crack Shot, Is With Buffalo Bill Show.

Mr. Getchell, Like Thousands of Oth ers Who Have Been Greatly Bene fited by the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, Cannot Say Too Much in Praise of This, the World's Greatest Medi cine. On November 18, 1907, Mr. Getchell Wrote as Follows : ' "After due deliberation, having used two bottles of Duffy's Malt Whiskey, I am convinced that it is the best med icine that I have ever taken. At first I was doubtful, but I doubt no more, for I can truly say to you and to the world that is use has improved my health so much I feel like a new man. For the past five years I have been able to work but little, with pains in my kidneys and bladder. I suffered continually, and until I began to take your Malt Whiskey I got no relief, but since then I have been growing better every day. You cannot imag ine how happy I am to be able once more to walk three or four miles with out any of the old trouble, and I sin cerely thank you for calling my atten tion to your valuable medicine, and be assured I shall always keep it in the house. If any one wishes to write me concerning it I shall be glad to an swer." Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely pure distillation of .malted gram, great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is the most ef fective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, its palatabihty and freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach.

Portland lumber manufacturers and pil ing contractors will be Interested in the proposal Just Issued by the Isthmian Canal Commission, asking for bids for a large quantity of lumber for use in the Canal Zone. Heretofore there has been little Interest locally In furnishing such supplies from Portland on account of the, fact that there ie no regular line of steamers from this port to La Boca, lo cated in the Canal Zone, where the sup plies must be delivered.
