HOME FOR THE FIREBOAT
PROPERTY AT FOOT OF HAN
COCK STREET OFFERED FOR IT.
Northwest Door Company Sends Let
ter to Mayor Tendering" Location
Which Is Large Enough.
The orphan fireboat has been offered a
home by the Northwest Door Company,
which is tviuing to give to the city the
use of property adjoining their plant at
the foot of -Hancock street, as a berth for
the George H. "Williams.
Samuel Connell, president and manager
of the Northwest Door Company, sent a
communication to Mayor Williams yester
day afternoon tendering the location. As
the Mayor was absent from his office at
tending the policemen's review during the
afternoon, the communication was not re
ceived by him until late in the evening.
What he thought of the offer could not
therefore be ascertained.
The property offered by the Northwest
Door Company Is 49x120 feet. All that will
be necessary to put it into shape for the
use of the flreboat is to pull out a few
bunches of piling, at little cost. Then
a slip may be built, which would amply
accommodate the flreboat. To be sure,
the George H. Williams is 25 feet wide and
314 feet long, but apparently a slip could
be built upon the ground suggested, which
would allow the fireboat to back in and
out without danger.
There would also be plenty of room for
the erection of a house for the firemen
and hose cart. Lower Albina is In need of
better fire protection, so Its residents have
frequently stated, and property-owners in
that vicinity will doubtless pull tor the
establishment of a hose company, which
would be a part of the fireboat's equip
ment. Mr. Connell was asked last evening as
to the offer he had made.
"It would be a good place for the flre
boat," said he. "The location of the Al
bina ferry close by would allow the hose
cart to follow the fireboat to a West Side
fire almost as rapidly as if- it was sta
tioned at East Washington street, if not
faster. After all. the greatest need for
the flreboat Is In thelower part of the
"o&t&or, for the fire engines can reach the
wharves near the business portion of the
cltybyt cannot get to a fire on a dock
or mill farther down the river nearly as
rapidly. There are many docks and mills
near this location which would be bene
fited." Up to the present time property-owners
have united in protesting against the plac
ing of the lifeboat near their property.
No matter where the flreboat committee
looked there came a remonstrance.
The George H. Williams will be launched
next Saturday, If present plans are carried
out The machinery will then be placed,
and in a few weeks it will be ready for
business. Both the Mayor and the fire
boat commltte of the Executive Board
have grown somewhat wearied of the un
buccessful search for a berth for the city's
floating fire engine, and Mr. Connell'a
offer may come as a welcome solution.
East Washington street seemed to be
the only feasible position until yesterday.
As usual the property-owners were pre
paring to protest, but Mayor Williams had
declared that if necessary the fight would
be carried into the courts so that his
namesake might have a home.
WATER BOARD IS AGREEABLE.
Will Place Hydrants Upon the Larg
er Water Mains.
That the Water Board will accede to the
rcquest-iT the Council and place hydrants
JVOhn "iherger water mains, at the same
time agreeing- to pay for alj new hydrants
out of the Vfater fund. Is now practically
admitted. .Members of the fire committee
of the JJiecutlvc Board have been given
asurrce by members of the Wator Board
that thfs will be done without the Council
passing an ordinance forcing the Water
Board to do so.
Owing to the better facilities of the
Water Board for placing hydrants, the
work can be done considerably cheaper
than by the Fire Department This fact
has been brought most forcibly to the at
tention of the Water Board. As the water
fund is a part of the city's finances, and a
Bwlng fo the city was apparent, the
Water Board could do nothing but ac
cede. Following the request of the Council.
Superintendent Frank T. Dodge, of the
Water Board, has filed with the Executive
oard the Information concerning the
large mains asked for. It is also a state
ment showlns the reasons for the reluc
tance of the Water Board to tap the
larger mains for hydrants. Maps explain
ing the routes of the water mains through
out the city are inclosed.
Oouncllmen had raised questions soon
after the Park School fire, when water
was scarce, .though large mains untapped
by hydrants flowed past the burning build
ing. The cause of this is given by Super
intendent Dodge in the communication,
which in substance Is as follows:
AH the water used on the west side of
the river flows from the 32-Inch pipe Into
the tank of the upper reservoir at the
City Park. This tank is 300 feet above
the base of city grades. From it an 13
lnch pipe conveys the water used in the
elevated district of the city, all above 100
feet From this tank another pipe con
veys all water used in that portion of the
city under 100 feet above city. grade. This
water starts from the lower reservoir,
the reduction in the head of - the water
being necessary to cut down the tremen
dous pressure. This is what is called the
high and low-pressure services.
The large mains in the business part of
the city are described in detail. As to
the Park School neighborhood the state
ment is as follows:
There are on two sides of the Park School
blo.k four water mains, as follows: On
Tc.th street a 20-insh and a six-inch main,
conveying wator to the lower district and
on Jefferson street a 24-inch main for the
lew district and a 12-inch mala for the
h'gh district. The elevation at the school
is 1T4 feet above base of grades, conse
quently the head of water on live 12-Inch
main is 176 feet, and on the others 10$ fret
The only hydrant which the Fire Depart r
mcnt ever asked to have connected to any
of the mains near the school te the one at
the southwest corner of the school block.
It Is connected to the 12-inch main, and
that main Is capable of supplying four stx
ir.rh pipes.
DIFFICULT IMPROVEMENTS.

Property adjoining the elevated road

explained by the assessment clerks that
such property had already paid higher as

which, in this case, was taxed much
higher. So it Is hoped that the matter
will adjust Itself in the course of time,

Madison Business Men Denounce Po

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20. A meeting was held
today by the Business Men's Improvement
League, of Madison. I1L, and it was de

Resolutions condemning the action of the
police in defending and assisting the pool

were adopted. A decision was reached to
lay the entire matter before the Grand
Jury and also to take it up directly with
the Attorney-General of Illinois, with the
purpose of putting a stop in a legal way

the poolroom has been run.

WELCOME CHURCH UNION
LOCAL PRESBYTERIANS HOPE
FOR ADOPTION OF PLAN.
Cumberland Branch, Which Seceded
In 1810, May Be Received Again
In the Fold.
Tho agreement adopted as a. basis of
union by the committee on church co
operation and union of the Presbyterian
churches of the United States, and the
committee on fraternity and union of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, at a
meeting In St Louis on February 19, Is
heartily welcomed by all Presbyterians,
for the union of these two branches will
result In making the Presbyterian Church
National In character with a membership
approximating 1.250.000.
The union of the two churches has long
been discussed In Presbyterian circles,
and there are few who will not be glad
to see the action of these committees
ratified at the general assemblies in May.
When the Cumberland members merge
with the Presbyterian Church proper, it
will only be a return to the fold, of which
they were years ago a part
The history of the Cumberland Church
Is an Interesting one. It Is an offshoot
of the original church, and "seceded" in
1810 or earlier. 4 revlal held in 18O0 in

which the Rev. James McGready's very
pointed discourses created grave dissen
sion In the Transyhanla Presbytery, of
which the Cumberlands were then mem
bers, was the origin of what proved to be
a disunion movement The Presbytery
was divided into two classes, the re
vivalists and the antl-revlvallsts. The re
vivalists were the cause of the separation
from the mother church. holding
distinctive views. The mother church
insisted upon ordained ministers be
ing theological students, or at
least educated men well versed In
the study of the Bible and able to undergo
examinations, but the Cumberland faction
Insisted upon ordaining any one who could
preach. The synod In 1SCC suspended
some of the members of the Cumberland
Presbytery for refusing to submit Its
young men for re-examination. In 1810
1 independent Presbytery was formed to
h'ch the hame of Cumberland" was given,
and at its first meeting the confession and
discipline of the Presbyterian Church was
adopted with the exception of the Idea
of fatality, and provisions were made as
to the scholarship of licentiates. The doc
trine of tho Cumberlands has the follow
ing points of dissent fro'm the Wostm'n
stcr Confession: 1 Christ died not for a
part only, but for all mankind. 2 That
there are no eternal reprobates. 3 That
ail Infants dying in infancy are saved
through Christ and the sanctlflcatlon of

operates on the world, or as co-extenslve
ly as Christ has made the atonement in
such a manner as to leave all men in

to being well organized has many famous
institutions of learning, the Law School

If the union of the two churches Is

It will be upon the doctrinal basis of the
