After a ten minute recess tho secraiarv.
F. E. Hodgkin read his annual report. Ho I
said: '
"There has been but ono meeting of
tho board of directors sinco our associa
tion met in Albany, in August last, which
meeting was held at the Gilman House
in Portland, on Wednesday, April 7,
18S5, at which time no business of impor
tance was transacted, save tho annrovnl
of the psogramme of prizes and contests
as arranged by tho liromen of Astoria for
the annual tournament of 18S5.
The published proceedings of the asso
ciation and tournament of ISSlaro print
ed in pamphlet form and those who have
not aueady secured comes can do so bv
applying to the .secretary. Tho expense
of publishing tho same was 21 in addi-
liuii iu ma uaiuuiii receivcu irom ine ad
vertisers, and in typograph cal annoar-
ance it will compare favorably with any
received from older organizations of like
character in the eastern states.
lour special committee, consisting of
Messrs. Chas. B. Moores and A. F.
Wheeler of Salem, and O. H. Irvine of
Albany, who last vear were appointed to
draw up, present to and nrgo the passage
of a bill by tho legislative assembly of
los.!, proviaing lor mo exemption or nro
meu from certain duties, have with tho
assistance and co operation of others,
performed that duty, and placed upon
our statute books a law that no doubt
will meet with the satisfaction of all
parties interested.
lho distribution of tonics connected
with tho volunteer fire service, among
representative firemen in different parts
of tho state for discussion at this meet
ing, is a new departure with us, and ono
of which wo anticipate good results.
J.no lollowiug volunteer companies of
the state have complied with tho regula
tions concerning membership, and as
such are members of the association at
the present time :
Astoria Engine Co. No. 1 Astoria
Bescue " " "2 "

This shows an increase in our mem
bership during tho past year of four com
panies, notwithstanding tho loss from
our ranks of Gervais Engine Co. No. 1,
the first, and wo Irnst ihe l:st. for raauv
years to withdraw from the association.
As will bo seen, we have captured Oregon
City, The Dalles, and Dallas, and wo
hope at our annual meeting in 1883 to
have added to our roll of membership
every volunteer compauy then organized
within our state.
He then gave a detailed statement of
the receipts and expenditures of the
association for lho past year, showing
that the receipts, including balance on
hand, were $3W.G0, and tho expenditures
were 1.40, leaving a balance of
130.20 in the treasury. Ho concluded
as follows :
Meeting, as we do this year, at the
place of our birth, in 18S2, wo can seo
much reason for congratulation over our
present prosperity and future prospects.
It was in this hall on the year above
mentioned that a little band of delegates
metnnd organized the Firemen's Asso
ciation of Orogon. Tho work was sys
temized and planned by the Astoria Fire
department, and our first meeting oven
was a grand success; interest in which
was manifested by tho most influential
departments. Tho organization the
same year of the paid department in
Portland deprived ns of tho co-oparation
oi many oiuerwise emnusiasuc support
ers in that city. With the energv, how
ever, cuaraciensiic 01 uregon nremen,
the membership showed asteady increase
until to-day, on the eve of our lourth an
nual meeting, we number nineteen com
panies, representing ten different depart
ments, composed of a3 efficient members
as can be found in the volunteer fire ser
vice of any of our sister states. Gentle
men, it is a record of which wo may well
feel proud, and it behooves us, each and
all, to labor for its continued advance
ment and prosperity.
There are some among our members
who have advanced the idea that wo
might with advantage to ourselves in
clude within our jurisdiction tho volun
teer firemen of western Washington ter
ritory. The Vancouver Fire Department
would no doubt have come within the fold
this year had our doors not been closed
to them, and I must confess that it was
with regret that in answer to their in
quiry as to whether their delegates would
be admitted as such. I was compelled to
respond in tho negative. The mateeris
ono that merits our careful consid
eration at tho present meeting. It has
also been suggested that we open our
doors to individual firemen, allowing act
tive and exempt members of any depart
ment to become members of tho associa
tions under each rule's regulations and
restrictions as it may deem advisable to
establish. This would not only afford us
a constant source of revenue in tho way
of membership fees and annual dues, but
it wonld revive tho interest of Eomo of
our old veterans in fire matters and en
able us vouncer members to receive from
them somo pointers, gained by thom by
their long experience on tho ropes. There
are many such in our stato who would
merit such recognition at our hands and
from whom wo could gain much inter
esting information.
In closing this my third annual report.
I desire to congratulate the association
on its election in 1834 of Bonj. S. Worsley
as its president. Not only was tho honor
merited bj him by reason of his haying
been mainly instrumental in the original
organizatio'n of onr association, but he
has ever been enthusiastio in its ad
vancement and support, and in the asso
ciation and tournament of the present
year he has been the leading spirit, and
labored zealously for its succe-s. Thank
ing him and tho other officers and mem
bers of the association for their co-oper
ation and support and hoping we may
enjoy an instructive and harmonious
session I remain, very truly vours,
Fkauk E. Hodgkin,
Secretary.
Thefollowing resolutions were adepted:

As tho hour for tho parade to form

anxious eye was turned to the west,
whero tho clouds looked black and heavy.
A few minutes before one fell u light
shower, but by tho timo for tho proces

afternoon was fino and no better weather
could bo desired. Tho parade rendezvous
was in front of lho city hall, and after
being formed under the skillful super
vision of tho grand marshal and his aids,
the procession moved. Frsfc camo a de
tachment of police, then the chief engi
neer and his assistants, the marshal and

After the long and brilliantly attired
procession had gono over tuo entire

corted to their respective houses and C.
W. Fulton, in a few remarks from the
balcony of No. 2's, thanked tho visitors
for their presence in the parade, tho band
for their efficient aid and dssured tho
delegations that had come to participate
in tho tournament that they were twice
welcome and that in tho morrows contest

tho skill and efficiency of tho volunteer
fire departments of tho state.
