-the Oregon Agricultural college, there
U no single activity that gives Cor
valHs more prominence throughout the
Willamette valley than Its 'Ire depart
ment. ' It is- second only: to Portland
In the state for equipment, support
and efficiency.
Its organization really started in the
early 60'e, when, a country town
' bucket brigade was organized, but the
, Oorvallls fire department proper was
organized March 25, 1872. Thre was
.little fire fighting then, so the fire
department was more of a social cluo
than for fire protection, and member
liad to pay 25 cent per month dues.;
and there was always a waiting list.
Tbe roster of the organization 45 years
ago has the names of such well-known
pioneers as Kline, Allen, Cauthorn,
.Graham. Bpencer. McFadden and Wood.
rock, names of which are yet aynony
mouj of activities in ths commercial
and governmental affairs of the city
and Benton county.
In 1882 the firs department nctlvl
'vtiea became more prominent and tfc
membership list included the names of
R. ft. 13 r on, former prosecutor of
Iane, Lincoln and Benton counties, but
now a well-known attorney or isugene;
B. F. Irvine, of The Journal, Port
land; Thomas Whltehorn. president of
the Corvallis State bank, and Doctor
"Wilson, now head of the board of
health of New York City.
Badnr Team Was Winner.
Tt was in 1882 that the racing team
shown in this picture made Us state
wide reputation by defeating all towns
In the valley that dared compete, and
" soon after this same team was crush
lngly defeated,) and lost its champion
hip honors to a "scrub" team of the
city. The crack team had lust returned
from defeating Albany, flushed with
victory, when the scrub team, known
as the "Hayseeds," challenged them to
race on the coming Fourth of July.
Much money was wagered on the out
come at big odds In favor of the
champion team. It was a time race,
run 100 yards, couple to hose and get
water.
"The "Hayseeds" ran first and made
a remarkable time, bat considerably
behind the record of the crack team.
- Then the champions made the run,
shortened the time by several seconds,
and yelled "water." But no water
oarae and the race was lost. Charges
. were made that wet paper was put
around the threads in the nozzle, thus
preventing a connection, but the judges
would not allow the charges, 'and the
famous' team vu beaten ana minuu
atod Miits own homo '-town.- --
In 18S8 Corvallis began to grow and
put on city trimmings. Then the city
, :,. added a' ladder wagon to the twoihand
reel hoee equipment . For 10 years, but
llttTe improvement In the department
was made, but In 1898 the department
. was reorganised. T. R. Graham, the
present efficient and progressive fire
chief, vu placed at the head, and the
department was put . Into first-clan
shape. A combination chemical and
hose wagon, a second ladder truck, and
four horses were added to the equip
ment, and the city has the best all
around equipped department of any
, city in the state, excepting: Portland.
Chief- Graham, known to almost
everyone In Benton county as Tom,"
was a fast man and all-around athlete
In high school and ha went about gath
ering together the young fellows and
building up a splendid membership, one
that is backed to the limit of anything
needed by the voters of the city.
Other Mses "Won.
In 1909 the racing team of the de
partment won the silver cup given by
" the Willamette' Valley Tournament as
sociation at the Albany races. In suc
ceeding year they have won many
prises, which fill a large cabinet In the
fire hall, and they iiave permanent pea
' session of the cup given for three con
secutive winnings, and in the last two
years they have been easy winners in
the annual tournaments of almost any
contest in which they entered.

, apparatus In the way of life nets.

tertained over 25 apple growers of the

Hood River, !rsarFb. 24. It is re
ported that at the next session of the
county court the attention of. the
county Judge and commissioners will
be called to the fact that Hood River
county's dependent subjects are scat
tered from Dan to Bersheba and that
It might be in the interest of economy
to have them all . residing In Hood
River county and placed under tXe
care of a single -local institution or
Individual. At the present time some
are being cared for by Multnomah
county; others by Wasco county, and
other by Hood River county.' The de
pendants supported outside of Hood
River county are costing the county
$20 each a month. It Is estimated that
at present it is costing Hood River
county approximately $300 a month
to care for Its needy.

Berry Prospects Improved.
Hood River, Or.. Feb. 24. The snow
during the last week In the Hood River
valley section has added about three
feet to the snow In the mountains
forming the water shed for the Hood
River Irrigation district that must de
pend entirely upon its irrigation water
from sources other than Mt. Hood. Be
fore the recent snow fall, fruit grow
ers, and especially at raw berry growers.
i eit grave apprehensions tor the sue-
cess of their berry crops on account
of the perceptible lack of snow In the
mountains that has been far below
normal years-. Indications are that the
strawberry crop will be very early thU
season on account of the continued
mild weather that has caused excessive
root growths to the berry plants, and
inat wiw in turn rorce early settings,
which rwlU require correspondingly
eariy irrigation. .
