grouped at different times this morning

"Worge than the sewer Job." said one
"All a Job." said another; "nothing but

down the bank, wended a little foot

channel of truffle again after an error
"Well, they have got to work agasi
at last. See they commenced yes

Other taxpayers found vent to their

point special committees from the qbun-

for them, what use la the city engl leer

no confidence In a man or office with

ber being Dr. Sanford Whiting and M.

ha this morning. "I am not a bridge

Councilman Zimmerman's statement In
open meeting yesterday that he dtd not
believe there had been a contract let
for the paat ..year, and possibly three
years, when bidders were not In soma
kind of a pool, has created another stlr.l
Ha ststed this morning unhesitatingly!
that Portland waa paying far too much
for Its street work.
"I believe we pay hare for concrete
and pavement work IS to 20 per cent
more than Seattle and Tacoma. Why
la if so? Cement and wages should be
aa low in Portland aa on the Sound, and
we should have the same grade and
olaas of street pavement laid here for
a little money, or. Jess, than Is enjoyed
by our neighbors. The conditions
brought to light warrant careful acrut
thy of all public work. We are paying
heavy taxes and are entitled to big re
suits, and not to be made the victim
of Jobbery."
This summary of the situation by a
member of the council, who waa chair
man of the Tanner creek sewer investi
gation committee and haa been la close
touch with all work done, arouses inter
est Coming as It does on the keels of
disclosures wherein contractors ware
proved In a pool to extort high prices
from taxpayers, the statement is com
manding grave attention.
'The final bid for the Tanner creek
work waa 18.000 less than ths first bid
put In by the firm," continued Mr. Zim
merman." In the investigation the con
tractor admitted that there waa 112.000

Witnesses and Those Who
Sought Police Protection
Herded Without Cages.
Within a abort time women who are
placed under arrest will receive the con
sideration due their sex. Owing to lack
of accommodation at ' the city prison
they 'have hitherto been subjected to
humiliating .experiences.
Work waa renewed on the women's
ward in the third story of the police
building, at Second and Oak streets, yes
terday. The cement flooring has already
been laid, and other parta of the struc
ture completed, necessary to construc
tion or the cells, yesterday began the
labor of ins tail lng the metal work of
the cell.
The plan of Chief Hunt contemplate
five cell for women, each to hold three
persona. Each of the ceils win be used
for a certain claas or criminals, in
addition, two rooms will be provided for
women who are not charged with any
offense, but may be detained aa wit
nesses or for other reasons. When tha
structure I completed such women will
not have to associate with acknowledged
criminals.
"To show how badly such a ward 1
needed." aald Chief Hunt, "take the case
of little Eunice l,ovelle Downing, or
rather. Mrs. McGann. as her marriage,
I believe, I not disputed. She and her
youthful husband were brought In here.
These young people were married, and
the only Idea In bringing them here was
to discover the circumstance. Yet the
girl had to be placed in the society of
depraved women, and kept there all
night. True, the matron waa present,
hut It must have been very humiliating
to the girl, and will not remain with her
as a pleasant memory. Her husband had
to be Incarcerated with aoclal outcast
hobo (sad, thieve. Neither deserved
such tredtment, and yet with present
accommodations It could not be avoided
"Frequently It happens that women
reach the city late at night, and fall to
find their friends. They have to appeal
to the police for protection unfit the
next day. If they arrive In the city
at a reasonable hour they are referred
to the Toung Women's Christian asso
ciation, which ha been very kind in
this regsrd in the past. Otherwise, they
have to be placed in the society of bad
women for the night When this ward
la completed these regrettable - things
will be avoided."

Ban's Claim.
Barr mads homestead application for
the aouthwest 14 of section 14, alleging
In his affidavit that In September. 1812,
he established a residence upon the
claim, built a log house 11x14 snd a
barn, besldea placing Several acrea
under cultivation. The value of the im
provements he declared to be 1400.
Barr swore that he lived on the land
continuously from 1192 to 1100, except
for four or flv months every year, and
that for eight or nine year he had
railed cropa upon th land. The chief
value of th land, he declared, waa for
grazing purposes.
"Did you find a log house or any signs
of a house of any- kind on this land J"
asked Mr. Heney.
"f found no house and no signs of one.
None of the land had ever been culti
vated. Much of the ground was under
two feet of snow, although It was the
16th of June when I was there."
O'Day WLna a Laugh.
Judge O'Day promptly Interposed an
objection on the ground that if the
ground waa snow-covered its character
could not have been apparent.
"Yon think then," Inquired Judge Bel
linger, "that the anow might have con
cealed the barnf
Judge O'Day resumed hi seat In dis
comfiture while the bailiff quelled the
outburst of laughter that ran through
the court room.
A complete history of the Investiga
tion had been kept by the witness in a
dally diary, but his recollection of the
facts waa so complete that he made no
use of It during hi testimony. . A large
map of the township had been suspended
In the courtroom, and the witness indi

"Pld you see any signs of a house

Heney.
"I dtd not," answered the witness,
and then he launched upon a description
of the true appearance of the attractive
little homestead described in Mr. Por

piece of ground upon tha claim large
enough to contain a house of any kind.
All of the ground 1 mountainous In th
extreme, and nowhere was there a sign
of anyone having been upon It except at

had been felled. They lay where they
had 'fallen, and they had not been
