SOMETHING ABOUT STEAM FlKE ENGINES.
Some time in August, we believe, the
committee appointed by Liim Fire Engine
Company, Xo.2, to inquire into the merits
ot the different steam fire engines manufact
ured and tor sale in the United States, of
which Dr. G. W. Gray was chairman, in
pursuance of the duty thin placed upon
them, opened utv correspondence with the
Cliief Engineers ol the fire departments
of several of the larger Eastern cities, as
well as those of the Paci tic Slope. From
the mass of testimony thus, obtained, the
committee became satisfied that the Clapp
& Jones steam fire engine possessed, great
er points of excellence than" any other. Of
course we hav'nt th time or space in these
columns to give even an extract troru tlie
different letters received in answer to the
inquiries of the committee, but we Ivave
selected from the mass of evidence a letter
front W. F. Moses, President of Woodland
Fire Department, in winch is inclosed an
other from Chas. Ciiimnings and Frank
MeXair, the latter Chief Engineer of the
Virginia Xeracl;r Fire Deartmeiit. We
select these because they are nearer home,
and the engine meeting the requirements
of the fire departments ot California and
Nevada, giving the fullest satisfaction in
every respect. Will mo-t certainly meet the j
requirements and expectations here. Fol
lowing are the letters alluded to :
Woodland. Nov. 12. 1S75.
4h. Geo. W. Gray, I'hksident, Ac
Itfir Sir; Oct. 2d Iw'Ja letter from
you about the Clapp & -Tones steam tire
engine that we had. purchased. I wrote
you in answer that we had not as yet pm-i-hased
such machine, but contemplated
loing so. Since then, after a thorough
examination, we have become, satisfied
with the Clapp & Jones machine, and have
reirehased a second class "engine ' of that
mike. Enclosed please fiii'l letter from !
Chas. Cinuiiiiiigs, of Virginia. Nevada, to :
me. in answer to a letter I wrote him. i
Yon can read it. and use it if necessary,
and return it to me when you get through
with it. Their engine is the same size ours
is to lie, and there is one of the same size
at San .rose, California. They like her
very much there. Please let me know if
.you purchase, and what kind.
1 remain truly yours,
W. F. Moss,
Prest. Fire Dept.
Following the letter. spoken of by Mr.
Moss, and inclosed in his letter to Dr. Gray:
VinoixiA. Xev., 'April 24. 1375.
W. F. Moss." Es'j. 7X5 ir .STi'T I am in
receipt ot yours of the 21st Inst., requesting
ine to give! you rav opinion of Monument
al, No. 6. steam fire, engine of this city. I
comply with your request with pleasure,
specially as I can truthfully commend her
as being in every respect n very superior
steam lire engine, better I think, than ei
ther of the other four in the Gold Llill and
Virginia Fire Department. We have here
in Gold llill and Virginia five steamers, of
different makes. Gold Hill has a Jeffreys.
Of the four in Virginia, one is by the Sds
by Manufacturing Co. (rotary), one by the
Amoskcag Manufacturing Co., one by But
ton, and the one you refer to is by the
Clapp & Jones manufacturing Co.. of Hud
son, N. Y. Yon will see that we have a
verv good opportunity of comparing the
merits of engines built by the most promi
nent builders of strain fire engines in the
United States. The principal -points of
excellence in the Clapp & Jones engine
are : First, the boiler is a very rapid gen
erator of steam, making Pteam faster than
any boiler I know ot (and I have had con
siderable ex j?rience with steam boilers).
Second. Simplicity ol construction ot en
gines and pumps every part of them being
tasily got a" for cleaning. packing, repair-,,
ing, &c. Thiid, The superior-material
workmanship and finish found in this en
gine. Foirrili. Great capacity as compared
to weight of engine. In fact, as an effect
ive aud serviceable steam fire enguw. I
think the Clapp Jones the best. For fan
cy playing No. 6s hoys say they are reariy
to put. up coin that they can get away with
any steam fire engine now on the I a'n'j
coast. No. 6 has frequently thrown a 14.
inch steam, through 100 feet ot hose, over
300 feet; and 011 one occasion (which 1
witnessed, and measured wuua i-'i
315 feet, through H0 feet of hose and a
inch nozzle. - - "

After a great rumbling over the Nichol

for Chicago aud the East," and carpet-bag
in hand seated nijself in a comfortable ve
hicle and was soon whirled to the Oakland
ferry. Here confusion reigned, and lor a
while I thought I had better employ a
guide", but recollecting that there was but
one way to go I contented myself by, fol
lowing the crowd, and was soon 011 board
the ferry steaming over to Oakland. As
our mind reverts back twenty-five years
ago, and calls up the picture then, I was
lost tn wonder and amazement at what I
see spread out before me nmt. Here with
in a radius of a few mile3 are four cities,
the smallest lieing as large as Albany,
while the largest has 175,000 Inhabitants,
representatives from almost every land the
sun shines upon. In 1S47 five hundred peo
ple could hardly have been found within
as many miles. Landed at Oakland, We
are soon seated in elegant coaches, drawn
by tlie iron horse, instead of wagons drawn
by mules or bulls", as in the olden days,
and in a moment are fairly flying through
one of the prettiest countries on the Pacific
coast, as densely settled almost as a town
all along the road for the first two hours'
ride, then becoming gradually thinner and
more. scattered until wp reach the moun-.
tains Sierra Nevada range. And now,
among tlie gigantic mountains, all is won

played in building a railroad through and
over these mighty crags,. piercing the very
bowels ot the mountains with tunnels
through the solid rock, crossing deep and
apparently bottom-less canyons on magnifi
cent bridges it was all a nu.rvel, display
ing the wonderful genius of man. As we
continue our journey we find the Company
have erected no less than forty miles of
snow-sheds in these mountain fastnesses, j
to enable their trains to bid defiance to the
terrible storms that rage here during the
winter.
Being worn out and tired with long sit

Lake, a distance of 3.5 mile. On . we go
igniru with nothing special to note imtil
we arrive at Devil s Hate. Here a line
bridge f pans the pass the pass itself being
one ot the chief wonders ot nature to be
found on this road. This days journey was
of considerable interest, as trom the coach
window I could see Castle liock. Hanging
Rock, and a number of other wonders of
nature.
riuee days and two nights passed and
still far os the vision extends stretch out
vast sage plains and worthless soil. I will
say here that I wonder now how the poor
emigrant ever got over these plains alive
at tlie paee they were eoni'ielled to travel
before this magnificent railway was built.
Now there are stations every eight or t welve
miles, so that there is less danger in mak
ing the trip. But. it would take a book to
describe fully all I saw, therefore I shall
not attempt it. "What surprises me most
ts to see the cofmtry looking so fine and
dry. with so many lieautiful points of in-
tere-t, where only twenty-five years ago
there was only roving bands of Siwashes.
Iain now in Iowa, and it is no colder
than it was in 'Frisco when I left. The un
shining and no frost, surprises ine greatly.
I doubt whether yon have nicer weather
to-day in Oregon than we have here. It
seems to meal most ns if I had strayed away
and spent, a portion of my life in a lone
some part ot the country.
It would take me six months to see half 1
ot my relatives, but I have neei having a
good time greeting those I have not seen
for years. ''
Corn is 20c a bushel notwithstanding the
loss by grasshoppers, etc. AVhe.it is 45c
per bushel in greenbacks. What do our
people think now of getting 85c in coin per
bushel for their wheat, while here farmers
get only about half .as much and thst- in
paper money? Yet the farmers ot Iowa,
this part of the State at least, are getting
rich even ac what we consider such low
prices for grain. Land is worth from $30
to $45 per acre fine rolling prairie 'land,
but the bottoms a black, sticky soil, remind,
tug Oregonians of the Umpqua valley.
But the hill land is cultivated here instead
of the vii I lev or bottom lauds. :
This town is five years old, and has a
population of 800. There are fully as many
people on the streets each day as in Albany.
Business is brisk and everybody' -.-stirring.
The trip -'the plains acrojss" Is a much
more rapid an comfortable affair now to
what it was in 1350 when I toiled over the
mountains and through the alkali deserts,
reipiiring six months of toilsome travel to
accomplish. AH these discomforts and
dangers are now avoided, and the entire
journey is made, by tlie aid of the iron
horse, in live days and four nights a great
change indeed, traveling two thousan
miles in one hundred hours. Yet even the
trill as now made is tiresome aud I must
Bay very lonesome.
I don't propose to disparage Oregon, for
it is my country yet : but the East has
always enjoyed an advantage over m In the
way of money-making. All my relatives
have got rich, as well as everybody else in
Iowa, apparently. ' But roy paper is full, so
I bid vou farewell for the present.
