liood Tkitys .l.vor Taylor's Address
o! Welcome froyria of To
day's Cvclts. - '
Yesterday as literally a red letter
day. Members of the Oregon Htate
Volunteer Fremen's Association took
possession of the town. They were
made welcome by the mayor, and were
entertained by the local companies.
At 5 o'clock In the afternoon, accord'
Ing to schedule, the parade was fon-
vl, beaded by the police department,
mayor and city council, and ladles In
carriages. The procession waa a long
one. and as each company both of the
visiting and home firemen passed the
headquarters building they were loud
ly cheered. It can be safely said that
the parade was one of the handsomest
ever given by firemen In Astoria, Ar
ter the parade the convention met in
the parlors of Engine Co. So. 1, to or
ganlze for business.
The rooms were elaborately decorated
with bunting, evergreens, flowers, and
the emblems of the order. Chief Green
Introduced Mayor Taylor, who said;
"This is the Mth anniversary of the
organization of the volunteer fire de
partment In this city. I know of no
body of men whom It gives me greater
pleasure to welcome to Astoria than
the volunteer firemen of the state. 1
recollect distinctly the early organlza
tlons In this city, when only the old
fashioned hand engine could be secur
ed for use In such small towns aa this
was at that time. The firemen of the.
early days were the pioneers who Join
ed together for the protection of prop
erty. They were brave and worthy
men, working for a most laudable ob
ject, aa well as for the advancement
of their young city. The history of the
Astoria department is the history of all
vnWnteer departments. Those who
come later will find things easier. New
machinery and improved water sys
tems make the work of paid fire de
partments comparatively a much pleas-
anter work.
"We are proud of our department In
Astoria, and proud of the Volunteer
Association of the state. As towns and
communities grow, paid fire depart
ments must necessarily take the place
of the volnteers; but no community
can do without the volunteers.
In the name of the people of As
toria; In the name of the regatta com
mittee, and in the name of the city, I
bid you welcome now and at any future
time when you may deem It opportune
t visit us."
President George C. Sears, of the
state organization, was then Introduc
ed, and in a few brief words thanked
the mayor for his kind welcome. "Once
a year, he said, those who have seen
seven years' service in a volunteer tire
department, meet together for recrea
tion and a perpetuation of the order.
This year we have been honored by
Astoria, whose hospitality is known
throughout the state, and this event
will be one of the most pleasant In
the history of the organization."
Chief Green then ordered an adjourn
ment, and all repaired to the dining
rooms, where the wives, daughter and
sisters of the local firemen served a
moat delightful banquet. It took sev
eral hours for all to be served. Fire
hundred people were the guests at the
table. Too much credit cannot be giv
en to the ladles, without whose assist
ance the banquet would have been a
failure.
After the banquet President Sears
called the association to order, taere
being present. R. B. Slnnott The
Dalles, W. H. Howell. Oregon City,
W. A. Wenlg, Astoria, of the executive
committee, and L. E. Sellg secretary.
A committee on credentials was ap
pointed, who reported after a five min
utes' recess. Mr. N. J. Slnnott. of The
Dalles, made an eloquent addresa in
support of the motion to hold the next
convention at The Dalles. By a unan
imous vote the motion was adopted.

short time In which to organize their
