Is Required.
Making an average speed of 16 3-10
miles an hour over a 80-mlle course
from the mouth of the Willamette to St.
Helena and return, the new flreboat
David Campbell more than fulfilled the
requirements for which she was offi
cially tested yesterday, and plainly in
dicated that she will be the fastest boat
of her class ki the country, when the
machinery is in smooth working order.
Lnder the contract the Campbell was
required to make a maximum speed of
14.5 miles an hour, and the fact that
she did almost two miles better called
for many compliments to Alfred 8mlth,
president of the Smith & Watson Iron
works, the firm which built the ves
sel.
Following the return of the flreboat
from her official run on the Columbia,
the guests of Mr. Smith, numbering more
than 100 business men and city offi
cials, were landed at the Ainsworth dock
and the fire-fighting apparatus was
tested unofficially In the river. Once
again the requirements were exceeded.
Approximately 9500 gallons of water
hurtled from 12. of the big nozzles each
minute, 600 gallons more than required.
The water throwing exhibition was I
beautiful in the extreme, and thou

high into the air, then fall, cataracts of

The official water pumplnr tests will

at the wheel most of the time and was
