Portland's Eire Department
on Exhibition.
A FREE SHOW ON THE EAST SIDE
Yesterday's Fire Burned Itself OutTha
Cbief and Bis Mei Kattled
An Kngine Disabled.
Says today's Oregonian : "
Had every engine, truck and Lose,
with every man connected with the de
partment, remained qaietly in their re-
spective houses yesterday morning, the
fire on the East Side conld not have
burned any farther than it did. The
fire department was entirely impotent.
Chief DeBoest - was in command, and
it was his first fire since being promoted
to the place of a fireman, and he made
a dismal failure- of it. He clearly
showed that be possessed no command
over men, and while lie stood helpless,
the "Jim-Crow" members of the de
partment took orders from ex-Chiefs
Thomas A. Jordan and Joseph Bnchtel,
and ex-District Engineer Charles Double
bower. There were men there wearing
the badge of the fire department who
did not even know how-to couple a
length of hose, wasting their time in try
ing to joint "he" butts, and so thorough
ly ignorant as not to comprehend that
a reversal of a hose length was only nec
essary. After the waste of fully 20 min
utes, water was finally secured by hose
No. 2, through a long stretch of ' pipe,
but by that time, the puny stream had
little effect on the raging flames. At
the saud dock, there were two inclines,
from where a full supply of water from
the river could have been got. At the
foot of Belmont street, there is an easy
roadway to the river edge, and at the
foot of East Alder street there is also
abundant means to secure water, but
not one of these sources of eupply was
used. Engine No. 1 lost a great deal of
time, the new crew being so entirely be
wildered that the men had no idea of
what was to be done or how to do it.
Engine No. 4 was "plugged" at the
start, that is, the engineer turned the
water in from the hydrant, started up
his engine, but failed to open the dis
charge gate, and consequently the en
gine was filled with water. If it had
been carrying any great head of steam,
the engine: would have been blown to
atoms.
Engine So. 7, on the East side, did
not get to the fire. When the alarm
sounded the horses rushed to their places
at the pole, and the harness snapped on.
Then the driver and other members
went out on the street to look at the fire.
While so engaged, the intelligent horses,
who knew that duty called them better
than the green men, grew so .restive that
they started to go to the fire on their
own account, and in doing-so snapped
the tongue of the engine, and so dis
abled it. Chemical No. 3 met with a
similar accident, and will have to go to
the repair shop.
The fire was the worst managed of any
in the history of Portland. : i
The following are the losses sustained
by the owners of the property destroyed
by the unchecked fire, and on which
there was not a dollar's worth of insur
ance :
Portland ventilated barrel factory .... 6,000

E. Shannon 1,500
