The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1903-04-17


INA most enthusiastic mass meeting was
held at the Town Hall on Saturday
evening, April 18th, pursuant to call of
Mayor Taylor, for the purpose Of get
ting an expression of the citizens as to
/ whether or not Athena would celebrate
the 127th anniversary Of the nations
birth S<The earnest manner in which
the matter was taken up proved that
Athena has lost none of the characteris-
| tic enterprise and loyalty that has dis
| tinguished her citizens throughout her
whole history.
Organization was effected with Mayor
Taylor as chairman and A. w. Botkin,
secretary.
| Upon the chairman announcing the
purpose of the meeting and inviting
discussion thereon, every one present
seemed imbued with desire to get the
floor and have his ''say" first; free rein
was given to discussion Of ways and
means, which was entered into with such
zest by those present that would make a
mugwump convention green with envy,
and showed conclusively unanimitity
of opinion that we should do all honor
to the national holiday most revered by
all who love the land of liberty.
Committees were appointed and at a
/ late hour the meeting adjourned.
An executive committee, comprised of
Messrs. A. M. ellis, VIM. Mosgrove,
Vic Shick, Sam Booher, j. d. Plamon-
don, Alf. johnson and A. w. Botkin,
was appointed with power to proceed
with arrangements. This committee
met on Monday evening and appointed
[ its subcommittee and set them to work,
thus starting the machinery Of the affair
!; to going
Messrs. Mosgroye, G. a. Barrett and
A. w. Botlin, were made finance com
mittee to solicit funds; Shick and Pla-
mondon, on grounds; johnson and
Booher, on music; Boyd, Manasse and

A NEW HOSE TEAM
FIRE PROTECTION FOR LOWER
MAIN STREET.
Mayor Taylor Asks Railroad Com
panies for Cost and Addi-
tional Hose.

1t was an interesting meeting that was
held Monday evening by Hook and
Ladder Go. No. l, of the Athena FIRE
department, aud the full membership OF
the company was present.
The committee appointed to interview
the mayor and council regarding the
formation Of Hose o. No. 2, reported
that the matter had been most favorably
received by the city officials, and that
Mayor Taylor was giving the proposition
his personal attention.
After the report had been made, dis
cussion of the project took place and the
concensus of opinion centered in propos-
ing that men from the two hose teams
be detailed for certain periods to look
after and have charge of hook and lad
der apparatus when fire alarms we're
sounded. No definite action was taken,
however, the proposition being deferred
until such time as the new hose com
pany is organized, when it will be taken
up in general department meeting.
A reporter interviewed Mayor Taylor
and found that he has made commend
able progress with the work he has in
hand. From General Manager McCabe,
~ tha w q ~ u Ia has uaoo:vad Aha
promise of a new hose cart and has
! further requested Of the W. & G. r. 100
feet of fire hose. The Mayor asks the
0. r. & N. Co. Tor $50 feet OF fire hose,
the valuation Of which, based on the
cost of the equipment, is $262.50; the
valuation of equipment asked Of the w.
& @. r. being 1888. In response to Mr..
Taylor's request Of the o. r. & N. he
has received letter from Mr.. O'Brien
giving notice that he will take the mat
ter up with the company at once. The
mayor, recognizing the vast property
interests the two companies have at
stake in case OF fire, is reasonably sure
that both requests will be granted with
out delay.
Three hydrants, the first at Gillis
lumber yard, the second between the
two railroad tracks and a third at the
corner OF Main street and Hunt avenue,
viii give that vicinity ample fire pro-
! lection. offering facilities for d streams
Of water. The hose house will probab-
ly be located on the right.of-way be-
tween the O. II. IN. and w. & G. r..
tracks. The south part OF town, below
Current street viii also come under fire
protection with the laying Of the main
from Main street south on Third street.
