".Irvine's Address Is ' Praised Portland's treatment' of visiting fire chief was superb, the Columbia highway surpasses anything in this country in , natural scenic beauty, and' Portland can be proud of Jay Stevens and B., F. Irvine $ of The Journal, Charles Otterson, fire chief of Napa, CaL, writes to B. F. Dowell, Portland fire chief, in appreciation of the treatment accorded coast chiefs at the recent fire, convention here, Otterson declares Portland, enter- t .talned the firemen more magnifi cently than any city he has ever visited. His letter to Chief Dowell follows: - PORTLAND'S WELCOME LAUDED "Home. ' Back In the harness, and after having -such a good time it is kind of. hard to ret myself together to drop you a line, which the California boys requested me to do, and say a few words of appreciation of the kindness of the Portland people and the way they treated us during our recent convention la. your city. "X do not think that I am able to express it in words, but .I'll take a chance, anyhow. I want to say that I have been, in the past 13 years,, in many parts of the state and other states, and w have never received the treatment and the complete program that we re ceived In Portland from you and your committee. It is safe to say there was not a. break in it; tt was a continuous round of pleasure from the start to the finish, as well as business. "I never in my life witnessed more natural scenery than I aaw alone the Columbia river during that drive.-They may talk of Yellowstone park and the' Tosemite, end the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, all of which I have seen, but you have- 'got it on them. The day we drove to Eagle creek to the barbecue, when you and your com mtteee and your fire boys so royally entertained us, you can feel proud that you have got a set of commissioners end firemen who 'joined hands and en tertained us that day, from the boy that waited on the table to the one who j cooked the venison. "And speaking of tha boys who kindly drove us around to see the city, it ' seemed that they did everything- In their power to make our trip north a pleas ure, which they surely did. . . . -fi "I have marked' It down in my little 4 red book. The end of a perfect, week,' ! a tm rl ... ana it , uoo spares me my nesitn, my J family and myself and friends will if- visit your city during the following !- year. I want them to see that scenery. - I never get through talking about it E5G1HEE1UJIC ACHIEVEMENT . ! "Say, Biddy, it is about time for me 1 to confess-' to 'the truth. - Thirty years v go uvea in your town xor aoout. a 1. year. ,11 kept me busy last month to .,. find my hotel. I was completely lost. , lour city has outgrown, not itself, but i. has outgrown me. and as I looked around ' and saw where they were wrecking some of those old buildings that stood there - in my time, it showed that Portland is j. a progressive city. I . took a ride up ;-. the heights on the electric car, of which , t was constructor of the cable road many years ago, and saw the handsome drive ?i. way that has been constructed along i' side (he electric road to the top of that v mountain. Your city is blessed with " some good engineers, and they let noth- Ing stand in their way toward beautify- log their city. Evidence speaks for-it-S self. . '" "I have lost the name of that gentle man who Is the editor of The Journal ,'' in 'your city, and who spoke to us in . The Auditorium that night on Tire Pre- ventlon. 1 have witnessed many fire . f revention "meetings and have heard , many speeches, but he was the most I able speaker that I ever heard in my I life. If that man were In position to , travel through the United , States with I that lecture. It is safe to say he would be one ox the most successful men that they have in the Fire Prevention bureaus today. . - - SHAKE J0UR5At MA5S HAND "And J. Stephens, for the first time I met him to shake hands with htm, . and after' listening closely to him, Port- j - t land can be very proud that tney have i f' turned out such a. man. He is capable , ! and he is upright, and when he has any- j , - thing to say he does not hash matters -' 'a particle; he is right to the point - I "Well. I think I will have to close, V and I want you in person to remember J me to your fire commissioner, and to j r your committee which assisted you in 1 entertaining us in your city (and you ' can thank your luck stars that you are i - blessed with a fire commissioner who V put his shoulder to the wheel to assist '' you lit making a success of this conven ' tlon). . And 1 want you to thank all the I fire boys, from the bottom of my heart. V far the way that they entertained us V. and gladly furnished their cars to assist ' you, and tell them if they ever come to T: California to be sure and -hunt me up. I I have a Soft -spot in my heart for the boys. i--f.' - ' ;,...v, "And do not forget to grab that man I of The Journal by the hand and give -' him a' hearty handshake for me. i "I mailed you a photograph, which I you can get mounted yourself and tack tt up in your hall. Don't forget to have f- those little words that I Inclosed printed upon It, because that is real life.
