Salem's lmpeadln watarworka
celebration In bringing to dnt
the city' two oldest places of fire
flghttac oqaipaMBt should be the
.aspiration for a movement to see
t it that these relics are pre-
tvsrrea' tor .their historic value.
Chairman Gardner Knaps ot the
celebration committee declared
last nlfthL He referred to an old
hand pamper honsht by the city
1st the 180's and the early day
Capitol Tolamteer company's
attam pumper. -
Bath machines were . dragged
tram dosty restlnar places In the
ctty barns yesterday and hauled
to the city ball fire station where
they will be cleaned and polished
by firemen and entered in the w
terworks parade Saturday aiter-
m They '-attracted reneral at
tention at fire headquarters and
rare rise to recounting ot tales of
Tolunteer fire fighter days here.
The i older i pump,- which was
both drawn and operated by hand,
was built In 18 SO byMIunnemann
& Co. of Boston and waa used reg
ularly by tie cltyliere until about
It 70. Its state of preserration as
indicated by the wooden wheels
and frame, checked but impeding-
paint, and the iron and brass
metal work la a tribute to early
day workmanship. :
Cblaese Drafted
' rwhenerer there was a fire the
Tolnnteer - firemen r used , to go
down to Chinatown, and round up
a batten of Chinamen to work the
pump. City Engineer Hugh Rog
ers recalled, laughingly
Cirealt Judge L. H. McHahan,
recalling his Joining volunteer
company No. 3 in the 1870s;
which then had another hand
pump. s Id yesterday that his
company waa known- as the "Buck
Brash 'Boys" while the Capitols
were dabbed the "dudes.T A third
Tolnnteer company waa named Ti
gers and to it belonged the late
Alderman W. H. Dancy. i .
MeMahaa asserted the Tigers
and Buck Bruthers usually beat
the Capitols to firea and thereby
kept possession of a fox tail which
soma eitisen and donated as a
badge of honor for the swiftest
band ot Tolnnteer smoke eaters.
Reminiscences stirred by pro
posal that the city council sell the
steam pumper for S 130 led Alder
man -Daney last October to re
count some of the history ot the
old engine to a Statesman report
er. Of LaFrance make, the steam
er was delivered here . by the
founder of the LaFrance com
pany in person. Dantfy said.; and
the pumper waa first used when
the Bennett house, a tram hotel
which stood on the present site of
the Masonic temple, burned.
The fire department in the late
1800s had one other steamer,
which finally was sold to a Junk
dealer. The other old hand pump
was sold to the city ot Aberdeen.
Wash., whose officials hare re
jected repeated offers to buy It- ,
Only the Tiger Tolnnteer com
vanr'a station la still in existence,
a frame structure now need for
baaineas Durooaes at the rear ot
the buildings at the southeast cor
nr nf State street and the Alley
between Front and Commercial, it
ie believed. .The Capitol company
station stood where the Guardian
building is now and the Company
No. S fire house waa located near
the site ef the Portland General
Electric -company's line depart
ment on North.:UU creek. .
