Description: This is the new Houghton ladder truck which just came in from New York. Its extended ladder reaches loft heights to make the conveyance the third of its type in the Copper Country. Chief James Chappell says the truck is just what has been needed to fight fires in some of the Portage Lake district's more modernized buildings.
