The smoothness that has. character
ized the administration -of the fire de
partment under the presentjclty regime
has been ruffled, at last Another' one
of those bitter fights that featured the
closing days of the. Lane administra
tion looms. When the fire committee-of
the city executive board meets this af
ternoon to consider the report of the
special, committee sent by the council
to see the Denver' apparatus tests, Dr.
H. C. Fixott will precipitate the battle
by snbTnl tttng a mt notify TppoTt.nrtrofi g-
ly condemning1 the recommendations of
the other two members of tho special
committee in favor of the American La
France motor pumping eiglne.i v.
"I understand," said Dr. FIxott this
morning, ('that Fire Chief '"Dowell and
Councilman Magulre, ;my colleagues on
the committee, have recommended - the
La France type of . engine. I certainty
cannot concur In any such a recommend-f
atlon. .The test at Denver allowed that
the La. France ' engine is absolutely la-;
efficient. In fact it made the Worst
showing of any engine that ' competed
in the tests.
"A. O. Long, local agent for the La.
France engine, has been getting the
lion's share of the business of, the Port
land fire department for) years. Other
bidders have almost given up hope of
ever getting anything. But, if -I ihave
to make a fight single handed, I wljl
do my beat to -see that some other bid-:

one" of 'three . engines upon which ' the
city has received bids would meet with

his letter enclosing a Wilson contribu

tariff bill and Roosevelt's third term
policy are too much f or theri." --

Washington yesterday that he. con
tributed $177,000 to the Bull Moose cam.
paign, and Charles Taft awore that he
gave $213,592 toward renominating tha
president. The check -Ixwka of financial

to depend on plain cltlaens to finance
his campaign. . - , : 1

Since Wilson chooses to take tho peo
