SSSiBHr" IKCOiCIL With Councllmen Albright nl Hol man voting In the negative, the city council Wednesday evening passed the ordinance appropriating $350 to cover the expense! of drilling the tent well upon the Englobrecht property after two hour ot iome of the llvell est Interchange ot argument and per onal opinion that baa occured In the city hall. Cltliena Joined with Ue council In thoroughly threshing out the water queatlon. and several time during the discussion Mayor Jones was compelled to wrap for order. During a part of the argument Coun cllmen Albright and Tooie stood up on opposite side ot the table, hurling forth question and answer at each other; and at frequent Intervals SupL Howell, of the Water commission, en tered the verbal fray. The ball was started rolling when the ordinance came up for second reading and final passage. Mayor Jonea asked Councilman Too, chair man of the special water committee If he was ready to make a report on the tests before the council acted ou the matter. Ms. Tooxe reviewed the work of the committee, and point 3d out that Including the $350 soon to be, voted upon, $1,81 had been spent in the search for a better supply than the present one. The odd dollar was for an option on the Ladd tract at M.L Pleasant, where the first test was made. In the course of Mr. Tooie s report It developed that a second well had been drilled on the Engelbrecht prop erty, the first one being found impos sible to "stop back" to the 50-foot level, where water had been struck. This second well had been drilled un der an agreement with Mr. Scott that the work would be done at a cost of $17.50 per day, with the city to pay for the cost of material. Mr. Scott, who did the drilling, also gave the council an account of the tech nical side of his work. SupL Howell asked Mr. Scott what he considered good water, and the driller replied that he thought water that was free from bacteria and that was chemically pure would fill the bill. Mr. Scott was then asked if he thought It possible to get '"pure wa ter" In a swamp such being the gen era! designation throughout the even tng of the surroundings of the test well. There followed a more or less technical description, by both Council man Tooie and Mr. Scott, of the meth ods used for stopping the seepage of surface water, and of the flltraMon powers of sand and gravel veins. Supt. Howell told the council that while he had no desire to enter the water discussion that he desired to set before the city fathers reports on tests of the present water that were made twice each week. These reports made by the University of Oregon and the state board of health, showed that for the past 11 months no dan gerous Impurities had been found la water that went through the city fil tration plant Mr. Howell insisted that even Bull Run water did not av erags as well, and also reported tests made by the Wtllamelta Pulp & Paper company. George Randall took a haDd in tie discussion when he said: "I read the other day In The Enterprise that Mr. Toote said there was a flow of 500 gallons a minute from the test well. 1 went down there expecting to see a gusher rising from the ground, but there wasn't any water in sight Now 1 want to know why misleading state ments like this have been made, and why this committee is squandering a . thousand dollars or so in this wa. What is the use of fooling away tim like this, when Willamette river wa ter, as we get it through the filters, is as good as the wateT many other cities get?" Councilman Metzner bobbed up to recall to Mir. Randall that at a prev ious meeting ha had condemned the present Willamette water vociferous ly. Mr. Randall said he hadn't. Coun cilman Long cut in to say that re marks about the well were side is sues, that what the ctty wanted was pure water, water that wasn't full of typhoid germs. This brought Supt. Howell to his feet with the statement that in the past ten years there hadn't been more than two cases of typhoid that could be charged to city water, and that theBe two probably got the. infection somewhere else. Council man Long thought there were S9 or 90 cases of typhoid a year, and said that doctors blamed the city water for them There then followed a lengthy discussion of the source of colon bacilli responsible for typhoid fever. In the course of this Mr. Scott, who drilled the test well, said it wa3 possible that some of the water found in the gravel vein might be river seepage, but added that he thought it would be purified by the time it trav ersed the distance to the well. Coun cilman Horton tried to cut short tii discussion by calling for the placing of the ordinance upon final passage. The motion was put, and before tha question was called Councilman Al bright got the floor. Mr. Albright charged that the or dinance had been passed tie !ir3t time when there was a bare quorum present, and referred to The Enter prise story that It had been necessary to "rustle up a quorum" to proceed with the business. He said he did not think it was right for a mere quorum to rush through action on such an im portant matter, and censured the com mittee for spending the $350 before the council appropriated the money. W reviewed the "swamp" question at some length, and declared that people having wells in that section had all abandoned them.. Then, touching up on another phase of the matter he said: . "And furthermore, I do not see now any engineer can come here from the Philippine, at $25 a day. and tell us to go down here and dig in a swamp for pure water. It was ba. enough when he told us to dig on the top of the bill Just a little way ( back from the face of the bluff. Hut to go out here in the swamp, that I can t understand. I don't approve of tuU expenditure of money for digging a few little holes In the ground that don't amount to anytning, bum d tliis talk about Hull Run water and the Lee franchise, tnat is an " Councilman Holman said that even if the purest water in the world w era found In the swamp north of - town, the people of Oregon City wou.d nev er believe it was pure unless they were shown. "And yon will have to show them all over again every day. ne added. He declared that people Sfdn't want water from the swamp and Wouldn't hav It. Then he added ?h . t w h e n ,he original $350 was flm considered as an appropriation It was rtinctlTund.rstood thai : the money was not to be expended in tne .wampr Mr. Holman added that If testa showed the present supply to be pure, It eenk.'d foolish to go dlR glng wella for water that would be no better. Councilman Meyer, who was one of the quorum present when tha ordin ance was Introduced, corroborated Mr. Holman to some exteut, and told of excellent spring viewed north of the Clackamas river. He said he had voted for the ordinance the. first time understanding that It waa not to be spent on the flat. The frequent mention of "swamp moved Mr. Tooie to say that "there is no swamp growing there, there Is a field of oats." Mr. Tooie replied to the criticisms made, saying that tho committee was trying to do Its best, and that It desired solely to put a complete report upon all available supplies before the people, and the costs thereof, and let the public de cide. As to the "mere quorum" pres ent, Mr. Tooie made tome reference to "people who stayed away from the maklnr monev while the rest ot us were here doing the city's bus iness." In closing Mr. loox) wanieu to know why. If people believed Ore ion City's water was pure, that the Commercial club waa agttatlng for Bull Run. Frank Jaggar entered the discus sion. He said he was a citiien oi Oregon City, and believed that pure water should be had, and waa willing to pay his share of the cost. "Hut I don t believe you can gei pure in out of that swamp." he said. "MUybe if Ur Tnmo had been here long eu ough to know what a swamp was he would not say this wasnt a swamp, i ha hun hern 4 fl Tears, and I've hunted on that place in summer and skated on It in winter, ana i uuum the purity of any water obtained there. I appreciate the efforts of this committee in seeking pure water, but I don't believe they w ill ever get good water there." Councilman Horton mentioned that the committee had been brought into HAtno larcolv thmiich the efforts of cltuens In mass meetings, and that these same citizens had not Deen sav isfied with the present water, and had feared typhoid. Incidentally he mentioned that many out of town peo ple had urged the acquirement of an other supply. "I'll agree with you there, said Councilman Albright "It has been boosted all along by people across the river. People over the river want us to get better water so they can use i, u., nw tnka ft vntA here and voull find people are satisfied with the water they have." pnnn,iimn Tnnza and Albright hen hit their nmnd-un argument. with only the table separating them. and at times the discussion waxeu warm and personal.

FOURTH STREET CONTRACT LEADS TO REAL STORM A cleverly executed plan to get tho council to adopt an eleventh-hour bid for the work of improving Fourth street, submitted by the Oregon Con struction & Engineering company, failed to work out as intended Wed nesday night, and brought on the sec ond really big excitement of the even ing. After the city fathers had com pleted their long discussion of the wa ter question, the matter of letting bl'U on Fourth street work came up. Councilman Horton, chairman ot the street committee, submitted a re port that contained no recommenda tion. It set forth that the Oregon Engineering & Construction had bid $9,771.11 and that Harry Jones had bid $9,474.65. Accompanying the re port was a letter from tne uregon en gineering & Construction company, which was received last week, stat ing tbat the improvement work would h dona for 19.100. and guaranteeing i to furnish a bond to the city to have i the work cost no more. In explaining the letter Mr. Moffatt ' told the council that oftentimes in the '' nast the city had been called upon. for one reason or other, to pay far over the contract price on Improve ment work, and that in submitting hi euaranteed bid his company was working to save the ctty fatiiers from being forced to pay any extras. While Mr. Moffatt still had the floor. Councilman Mutzner rose, pull ed from his Docket a typewritten list of the other bids and contracts, and rt?ad off a series of Jobs on which the city had been called upon tne pay as much as one-ha'.f or one quart it more than the price of contracts in many cases before work could be com nleted. City Engineer Nolila explain ed, in quick order, that this was often due to changes in the plans and speci ficalions, made after bids were let. Mr. Moffatt tlien resumed his plea In behalf of his guaranteed bid, and urged the council to adopt It and save money. Tha council at once got Into an up roar. Councilman Meyers said that the meeting could not legally consider the second Moffatt bid. as a time ha l been set foe the submission of bids on this work, and Moffatt's comany had put In one. Other councllmen de clared that Moffa t, finding that he was underbid, was trying to gut "a second crack" at t!ie same Job. Cit izens present took part in this discus sion, and Mayor Jones had to rap for order. In the general melee one of the citizens present advanced upon Moffatt waving an umbrella, and told Aloffatt he had no right to the floor any way, as he wasn't a citizen. When the exei'ement subsided somewliat, the council authorized tte mayor and recorder to enter into a contract with Harry Jones for the work, specifying that P should be done within 90 days, and that Jones, If be desired to accept, should fur nish the city with some surety that the work would not cost more than the bid submitted, $9,474.65. Harry Jones was also given tie contract for park walks at $H67.50. Lightning 8tat. Lightning Is more frequent In Flori da and Illinois than in any otber state. OREGON fiTTY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JULY ONE MORE DELAY Purchase of a rock-crusher for mun icipal use, which waa scheduled to b. decided upon by the council Wednes day evenlug, was postponed another week upon motion ot Councilman Al bright after an effort had been made by Councilman MMiner to get the matter laid over until the first regu lar meeting in August. In urging the council not to d 'lay any longer than was necessary. Councilman Albright said that he was convinced that the matter was really one of comparative Implicit and that there wa no rea on for a continuance ot the protract ed delays. When tha matter first ram up Councilman Tooie objected to flual action b.lng taken on It. saying that the committee In charge of the mat ter had been unable to complet Its In vestigation of the cost of putting out rock from the plant, and that It would also like a little more time to take up h, m.tter nf street maintenance. Tha committee had met Tuesday evening, he said, and had decided unanimously to ask for another postponement ot tne matter. Pnnnrilman Horton. who waa member of an earlier committee that investigated the plaut. ana wno do lleves the purchase will be benefit to the city as a check upon the blda for contractors on street work, said that he thought the council ought to get K,..v mnA ottU tha matter without further delay. Mr. Albright supported him In tnis opinion, saying mai ae hellflved tha matter had been delayed long enough already.

Aside from a general description 01 the rioting, and the identification of the defendants, but little progress waa made. Only three witnesses were examined, and Mr. Jeffrey made but little effort to Impeach their testi mony on cross examination. At the request of the defense. Judge Eakin adjourned court early. Import ant testimony in the case will be in troduced Thursday, when the state will probably finish Its evidence. A larga crowd of spectators, many of whom were socialists sympathizers, filled the courtroom during the ses sion of the trial. Pete Sam, one of the indicted men, was granted a special trial at the re quest of his counsel. Justice Sievers. It Is maintained that Sam was not one of the socialists, and only go tangled up in the affair because he was present on the suspension bridge when Sheriff Mass and his deputies rounded up the agitators and arrssted them. POLICE GRAFTS PORTLAND, Or, July 9 With De tective Robert Craddock talking free ly before the grand Jury nearly all day, with police officers voluntarily rushing to the office of the District Attorney dffering to tell what they know, and with a big batch of sub penas out for further investigation, the municipal scandal centering at present around County School Supei intendent Armstrong, assumed great er proportions Wednesday. First evidence that money actually hart passed was reached with the name of Patrolman C. E. Kllngen smith who, Craddock says, gave him $20.

The otber day I rode aruuud the Sol diers' borne at the national capital It Is In some way the most beautiful spot In the most beautiful city of the world. At that time I heard tbe story of the starting of the borne. I do not vouch for the historic accuracy of all the details, but repeat the tale In sub stance aa it was told to me. Prior to the Mexican war Geueral WlnOeld Seott urged congress to es tablish a soldiers' home In or near the city of Washington. For reasons of economy congress refused to act on his suggestion. As a part of the spoils of the Mexi can war General Scott brought back In tho neighborhood of $100,000. which he deposited lu the name of tbe Sol diers' borne. He then said In effect to congress that It could now carry out bis plan without cost to the nation and that the money which had been taken as tbe result of tbe war could be put to no better nse than In creat ing a harbor of refuge for the natlnu's defenders Today the Soldiers' borne at Wnshlugton Is tbe noblest monu ment to the memory of General Win .field Scott It was the home of Lin coln daring the civil war. It l lntl mntely associated with the name of General John A. Logan, who wn for some time IU commandant My opinion of General Wlnfleld Scott went up several Klnts as a result of the visit to the Soldiers' home. That Is a material embodiment of bis Ideal. In some aspects It represents great er victory than lie won In either Can ada or Mexico, for It will be a place of refuge for the regular soldier prob ably to tbe remotest dny of our his tory and will keep the name of Its author as green as tbe trees and land scapes that are Its ornaments. Many men hnve noble dreams for the good of Immunity that are never real ized. All the more gratifying Is It when we see one sucb, vision Incarnat ed and brought into material form. Washington drenmed the American na tion and Its capital city. Lincoln drenmed that nation reunited and free. General Scott, typical soldier, drenmed a home for soldiers. All these dreams have come true and perhaps In a more splendid form than was foreseen by the men to whom were voiirbxn fi-d tbe vision. We. too, mny plan for better things In the days to be. We, too, may have our dreams for human good and hap piness. Whether or not wo can make them come true, they are yet helpful, for no worthy aspiration 1 ever whol ly unfulfilled. No seed of noble pur pose ever fulls Into the soil of human consciousness thnt It doe not grow and flower and bear fruit some time and somewhere.

Even tbe name la misleading lu thl reiect. The word "cap" ug gents the paper caps used with toy pis tol, and because the blastlnji caps are called by Ihla name It I untural to think that the two artUlea belong to the same family. They may, but they bear about the same resemblance to each other that a hungry man eating tiger doea to the gentle pussy cat There arv lots of wnys of getting crippled by exploding blasting caps be sides hitting them with hummer and putting them lu the fire.

Many a miner has blown a hole through ht fur In biting the rap on the fuse, and others have filled them selves with copper or have been killed outright by Hie sparks from their hat lamps or pipe dropping In an oHn box of caps. Lots of blasters continue to bite tbe enps on the fuse and think that because they have uever exploded them they never will, but ome day they will blto tbe business end and lose something beside teeth. It Is much easier and lots safer to use the crimper, a tool mude for Ibe purpose. Accidentally stepping on a cap will often sMilt a iierfcctly good foot Sparks, flame, heat, blows, frliilou It's all the same to the cup to which they are applied. A blasting cap Is a cupper shell alsiut a quarter of nil hu b In diameter and an Inch or two lung, half full of fulmi nate of merenry. This fiiltnlnnte Is the most sensitive and about the most Impulsive explosive in coinunm use. Wasting caps contain anywhere from fifteen to twenty grains of It. Primers for fires mis cartridge usually contain not more than one grain. That's what the hammer or firing pin of a gun or pistol lilts to hrnlte tbe powder In the shell. A blasting rap Is meant to work the other way. The powder from the fuse Ignites the fulminate In the blasting cap. and It explode with ter rific force and detonates the dynamite.

The point-to I reincinliered Is that when a blasting cap goes off It does great damage lornlly. There Is no es caping Its effects. Among all the 000 or more aeldents reported from playing with blasting raps there are only two or three In which somebody wa not hurt. Electric blasting rati are Just as strong us ordinary blasting raps, but as the capsule or shell Is scaled up with sulphur plug through which the wires are carried down to the fulminate, not so many accidents occur In playing with them.
