SALEM HAS
FIRST CLASS
MACHINE

At the time the new fire engine pur-
oLasel by the Eugene city council
passed through the city good deal of
comment was made as to the relative
merits of the different classes Of fire
fighting apparatus. Those interested
in the purchase of the American-La
France combination hose and chemi-
cal purchased by the city council of
Salem maintained that the one pur-
chased here was superior to others
for the purposes needed here.
Word has been received in this city
contained in the Daily Province, pub
lished in Vancouver, B. c., Of the pur-
chase in that city of three fire ma
chimes, one of the type purchased here
and two auto hose trucks, all of the

A very comprehensive test was
made In order to obtain the relative
merits of the different makes OF ma
chimes of which there were seven
The tests, eleven in number, consist

of speed to be attained as well as
starting qualities on steep hills and
grades. The machine now in use in
Salem was used in making the tesi

next highest score was SS2.
After witnessing the tests made BY
the different makes Of machines th'
fire chief had no hesitancy in recon-
mendlng the purchase Of the aboy'
named machines, and in spite of th'
fact that the price at which they wer'
offered was several thousand dollar
in advance of the offers made by othe
firms, the city council by unanimou
vote decided to purchase as stated

Mrs. Hubbard has already had appli

Railroad Commissioners Miller and
Campbell returned last night from an
inspection tour of the Pacific Railroad
C Navigation company and while they
found the road generally good when 1t
is considered that It is a mountain
road a number of improvements will
be asked for.
The road was recently taken over
by the Southern Pacific, and has a
heavy passenger traffic. More stations
are needed, and then the track is soft,
and there is danger of slides, and that
Is something which must be remedled.

new DEPOT AT WASECA

(. The new Chicago and Northwest
ern passenger depot at Waseca is
completed and is now open to the
public. The building is one of the
low bungalow types which are said
to be very popular with the railroad
companies. 1t is built with a hand
some dark red pressed brick. has a
slate roof and has low projecting
caves.
Not until one gets view of the
interior does one begin to appreciate
the real worth of the building. Here
we find excellent workmanship
throughout. The woodwork is golden
oak and the walls are tinted a dark
green, making very tasty, pleasing
effect. The ladies' waiting room is
on the east end of the building, the
gentlemen's room being in the CEN
ter and the baggage room on the
west end of the building The ticket
office is on the south side between
the two waiting rooms. The rooms
are excellently lighted by large win
dows and are modernly furnished
There are lavatories, sanitary drink
ing fountain, electric lights, comfort
able seats, etc. The building Is
equipped with modern steam heat
ing plant, and no more will we have
to SILVER with the cold in the winter
time while waiting for trains on the
Chicago and Northwestern. The de-
signers of the building certainly had
two objects in view, namely, to pro-
duce pleasant and comfortable wait
ing rooms for the travelling public at
this point and we believe they have
succeeded admirably.
