THE EVENING STATESMAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1903. THE APPARATUS M OLD FIRE FIGHTING MACHINES TO BE SHIPPED AWAY TOMORROW. Old Hand Engine, Hook and Ladder Truck and Hose Carts Disposed Of. By Wednesday evening every vest age of the old fire apparatus that was in former days used by the volunteer fire department will* have disappeared from this city. Today the old hand engine, the antiquated hook and ladder truck and two hose carts were brought from the corporation shed to the city nail. All of the apparatus will be pre pared for shipment and will be sent away tomorrow. The hand engine and horse hose cart go to Portland, in part payment for the new steam fire engine ordered by the council several weeks ago, and one hose cart and hook and ladder truck will be sent to Rltz ville, which city has purchased them. A large number of the old volunteer firemen gathered at the engine house this morning- and viewed the old fire fighting machines which they had used years ago. Many stories of how the boys used to "run with the mawhlne" were told and many of the big fires that occurred in their days as fire tnen were related. The old hand engine arrived in Wal la Walla in 1876 and was for many years manned by Tiger engine com pany. Early in the eighties the hand machine was laid aside and in its place the new steamer was manned by the Tigers. In ISSS a crowd of young men. headed by Emil Sanderson and L. Frank Boyd, now mayor of Spo kane, formed a new company, and af ter a bitter fight they were admitted to the department. The old hand en gine was turned over to the new com pany and for several years the boys pulled the old machine through the mud in response to the fire alarms. Tiie old hook and ladder truck was purchased by the city in for the use of Vigilant Hook and Ladder Com pany No. 1, who handled it until 18S4, when after a fight with the city coun cil, the company disbanded. mm local sews.
