THE HEITNER HOOK AND LADDER CO. Their Machine Built By the Waterous Engine Works. STRICTLY FIRST CUSS N) WELL EQUIPPED. The Members of Heppner's Company An Effective Organization It Has Been Tried. The council's committee on tire and water expect to fix the grades for side walks iu the T. K Howard district of Heppnsr, next Monday. QUR READERS are perhaps aware that Heppuer has organized a hooK and ladder company, aud more, that the organization is called Heppuer Hook & Ladder Co., No. 1, but we doubt that many of them have taken the trouble to examine the apparatus with which this company is equipped. It is there fore the purpose of this article to fully inform the people on this suhjeot, know ing I hut growing towns adjacent will ere j long desire to add like apparatus, and I in buying, like everything else, the best is none too good, but after perusing our ! description of the outfit purchased by the Heppner oouuoil, we believe that the most skeptical will conclude that it is the most perfect aud efficient piece of apparatus made for protection against fire m towns where waterworks have not been provided; and even in conjunction with the powerful fire engine or hose companv, the Waterous Hook and Lad der outfit becomes a wonderful auxil iary iu subduing the flames. Heppner's outfit was purchased from Messrs. Long and Scott, of Portland, rep resenting the Waterous Engine Works Co., and they should certainly feel proud to be permitted to represent suob elegant lines of fire machinery. And too, in justice to these gentlemen, we will say that every assertion, guarantee, etc., regarding the effectiveness and du rability of their lines, are as good as gold. Apropos the subject proper, we will stale thut heretofore the only style of hook and ladder track, available for the use of the smaller cities and towns, has been a plain wagon with a supply of "jnckleg" ladders, wbioh had to be taken off aud raised by hand, but we are happy to say that this class of rigging, like the old hand engine, is rapidly pass ing out of date. However there are few companies manufacturing really first class apparatus for small towns. The Waterous Engine Works Co , are the only manufacturers who build a book and ladder truck with a 40 ft. extension ladder, on the city pattern, being a size suitable for the use of smaller towns; thut is to say, with screw power elevat ing apparatus. Towns purchasing the Waterous truck therefore have the same advantages in bundling their lad ders which the oity departments have. The liberality of the Waterous people in this respect iu putting the patent de vioe upon their trucks for the small towns without charging any royalty or premium is duly appreciated, and re sults in them receiving almost the en tire trade of the smaller towns in their line. The ''Waterous" truck is a model of strength combined with the light est possible weight, the gears being A grade throughout, with full plat form springs in front, half elleptio in rear, the front wheels turning com pletely under the truok. The entire truck frame is made of steel tubing, stayed and braced in such a manner as to give it great stength. The ladders are made of the finest fire ladder stock and the equipment throughout is first olass. The Waterous people are old manufac turers and make everything in the line of fire apparatus, and of the whole they recommend a well-equipped book and ladder truck as the very best piece of apparatus which any town cau purchase. It has many advantages. With a full equipment of eighty-two rubber buckets, a great amount of water can be handled, and with the screw power ladders and the additional single ladders the water can be made most available and handled most rapidly and efficiently at a fire. In addition to this an equipment of f ur Babcock chemical extinguishers are a very valuable adjunct. Furthermore the pull down hooks, chain and ropes, pike pules, fire axes, etc., all npon the truck THE WATEHOUS HOOK AND LADDER TKTJCK. anil included in this equipment are most serviceable in case of fire. Heppner has all this apparatus, and the benefits arising therefrom are not spoken of in a theoretical sense only, for but a few dnye ago at the bti-ning of the Heppner school house, a practicul illus tration of its workings was seen. We find that since our city council has purchased the new truok, our young men have organized a fire company of something like thirty active and sev eral contributing members, and it is their j intention to drill regularly with the truck and become proficient in handling it. Also in handling the ladders, buck- ' ets, Babcocks. and pull down hooks, drill-: ing each man to his particular part of the work. In our opinion this is a very valuable feature, as organized and well drilled effort is invaluable in case of fire. ! The provision of this fine piece of ap- parittua will result in our town having a well orgnnized aud thoroughly efficient fire oompaoy whose services may prove invaluable at any time. There are a great many of these truoks in use throughout the United States, and Messrs. Long & Scott, who are the agents for the entire Pacific ooast for the Water ous Engitie Works Co., are receiving numerous offers for them throughout their territoryi,. Our town it on the eve of putting in waterworks for fire protection, and will ere long give our people an opportunity to vote on this important subject. When this is aooomplisbed, which, knowing the progressive oharacter of our citizens, assures early consummation of the pro- jeot, and with the splendid book and ladder outfit, with auxiliaries already mentioned, Henpner will be one of tbe best proteoted towns in the Northwest.

Ji"iiHiVBIIIifclllBJ ff?lijfl THE RIGHT PERSON. Nothing has so much retarded the pro gress of Eastern Oregon as the lack of meauu for freight transportation to and from that section. Aud while we are urging Ihe merits of Morrow county and Kitsteru Oregon for settlers, ill ill ho put in a plea (or au open river, line it we depend tipou oongreBs to aid us there must he an Eastern Oregon man there to look after these muttns. Tlie Onzetti is convinced that congress is the bo.!) from which we should expect aid, though if it should oouie from the state, ver.i well. If it be possible tu build u per tage aloug the bunks of the Columbia on iheOiegou side, our state could under take the work and successfully o .rry it to completion, but iuatuniiul) as thi ll n ion 1'niMtlo has the right-of-way, would deem it it a dinlciilt matter, for our slate to build it on ttie Washingou side would bo impossible. However, the Ga zette has been of the opinion that the state should do the work, and has so ex pressed itself ou numerous occasions. but it was not then aware of the ditli cullies to be euoouutercd, if suah was undertaken. Our merchants are patronizing the river as far as The Dalles, aud are sav ing money thereby, and could the ob structions be removed at Cehlo, ihe farm ers would not have to pay Hindi enor mous rates to get their wheat to market; the merchant could sell cheaper. Iu fact every body would be benefited. II being generally conceded that oou- gregs should do this work, naturally leads every voter to cast around for the rigid man to represeut them, aud in thi extremity all eyes are turned un one man, a man of the people, a man of abil ity aud with a oleau record, Hou.
