Dr. Matson Declares Water Is
Still Impure.
HART WILL ARRIVE TODAY
AVIlli All Members or Board In City
Decision Will Probably Be Made
as to Inquiry Into the
Itecent Trouble.
"Wfltpr In th Woe c.i s ,,.
... ..,.-.1 iuc pipe's still
Khows tlie presence of bacteria in teem
liiK quantities." said Dr. Ralph C. Mat
ron, yesterday. Dr. Matson lias been
fondin tlrjs examinations on behalf of the
Slate Board of Health in the laboratory
belonging to the Board. He reports that
cultures of the water were positive again
yesterday, when development of bacteria
In water taken from the mains last
Thursday took place.
Dr. Matson considered that if the bac
teria had been present in smaller quan
tities there would be little, if any. danger.
hilt fliik fort thai tk.A.. - , '
..... uirj virie pi eaeni in
the water in such teeming: multitudes
Phould cause people to be very wary of
drinking water that Is not thoroughly
boiled, ho asserts.
That a chemical analysis will not de
note the presence of bacteria was an
other point that Dr. Matson laid espe
cial stress upon.
"A chemical analysis is not sufficient.
Raid he. "While it might denote the
presence of sewage it Is no indication
as to the purity of water from a bac
teriological point of view. People should
realizo that there U danger if the water
is not thoroughly boiled and no opinion
to. the contrary can alter this.
Spcclul Case Is Necessary.
"If there are but few bacteria in the
water the matter might not be serious,
but the presence of positive cultures of
the ciion bacillus in such teeming multi
tudes should cause special care.
"There Is no evidence of typhoid, but
l- Uphold cultures will not develop for
some little time. However, as long asJ
the cultures of the colon bacillus are as
numerous as they are the danger of
typhoid is present, and especial care
should be taken to "boil the water.' "
Numerous complaints are being heard
over the city as to the dead "colorless"
taste of the water when boiled, and
humorists have been heard to remark
that it is possible that the bacteria give ;
tne pleasant taste to the water, and
If this Is the case it is a shame to kill
them oft. Probably never in the history
of the city has less water been drunk
than in the last couple of days. The un
pleasant flatness of the water when
boiled Is a strong argument used by those
who have leanings towards falling off the
"water wagon."
J. D. Hartv member of the Water board,
has been absent in California, but is
expected to arrive in Portland today.
With Mr. Hart in the city the matter of
an inquiry Into the conduct of the of
ficials In connection with the water mud
dle is expected to be settled once and
lor all.
R. B. Lamson said yesterday that he
understood that it would be necessary to
uncover the broken pipe for a distance
of 200 feet In each direction. This is
much greater than the engineers on the
spot believed necessary.
Dm May Be Installed.
"I propose visiting the scene of action
soon," said Mr. Lameon. "Instead of
this enormous work of uncovering the
pipe, which ' will be necessary if the
conduit is to be brmiE-ht tn !,,
I believe a cofferdam .ought to be built.
W7ith the pipe then exposed to view some
other plan of action may be followed.
"Should a cofferdam not be feasible.
mo uiuuin oi tne inlet which has been
dug out by the dredge, might be barred
up and clay thrown down from the edge
of the 0 W. P. dock to make the bar
rier watertight. I understand that if
this is done the water can be pumped
out and the pipe exposed. With the
pipe once thoroughly exposed to the air
1 am certain that we can find some way
to repair it."
F"rom other sources It is stated that a
cofferdam mVrht prove too expensive but
that the other dam project might be
carried through, as the depth of the
water at that point is only about 23
feet.
Owing to the situation ot the pipes
it is said on good authority that wltli
digging operations-started to expose the
30-inch main the liability , of the smaller
pips breaking under the strain should be
considered. it is considered that the
filling up of the space over the pipes with
sand and sawdust, when the pipes had
not sufficient support underneath has al
ready sufficiently endangered the life of
the 24-inch main and that should the
digging be commenced a further break
would be probable at any time.
POLICE REST, CITY GOOD
OFl-'ICEIlS OFF DUTY THKEE
HOUUS IX AFTERXOOX.
People Show No Need for Watching
During Time Bluecoats
Attend lecture.
For three hours yesterday, afternoon
there was not a single policeman on a
beat in Portland. During that time every
member . of the force, with the excep
tion of half a dozen at police headquar
ters, was present at the lecture given
by J. St. Clair of Victoria, B. C. in
Woman of Woodcraft Hall, on matters
pertaining to police administration.
It seemed that everyone in the city was
on his good behavior while the police
were off duty and was determined to
behave. People acted as though they
were on their honor not to raise a fuss
while no bluecoats were watching them.
At any rate nobody started a row and
no one stole anything. The behavior
of citizens generally shows either their
fear of the police or their normally good
conduct.
yir. St. Clair was formerly with the
police departments of several of the
larger English and Scottish cities, and is
considered an authority on the conduct of
police affairs.
