7 John Lemont.'one of the best known
. JVmoorats in Portland, declared today
. that no man could b elected mayor this
i - year unless he waa known to the people
aa one who not only believed lit the
enforcement of taw. but had the DacK
bone to Inaugurate and sustain ft policy
that bad that for Its keynote.
i believe the man Who secures the
', office of Portland chief executive
this year.' said he. "will stand for a
. policy of law enforcement.,' . Further-
mere, he must appeal to the voters at
one who has the character to" maintain
"""bis" attitude against the powerful In
.. fluenees that would be brought to bear
to Induce him to recede from,, such ft
policy.
, "It requires no seer to read the hand-
writing; on the .svalL The people are
aroused and will demand that their
'chief, executive carry out his oath of
office and execute the laws as he f lnda
' them. The sentiment Is potent that Is
' beak of the movement for better Port
land. It has sustained Sheriff Word In
bis campaign, -and jt will sustain, other
'" officials who ftdopt the policy that has
animated the sheriff In the conduct of
. ibis office...- -.v - .'
"This demand for advancement 'along
.the line indicated comes from people
of all parties. It la coincident with
and. rented to the growth of non-partisanship
In polltlos when local' affairs
are ooncerned. and has moved hundreds.
'probably thousands, of eltlseng in Port
land who heretofore were - wedded to
party to declare that, hereafter results
must, be shown . by the . persona for
whom ' they vote results substantial
- and beneficial to th city.
"An Important principle has been es
tablished In this present campaign for
law enforcement, it Is vital to-prog-Iream
in the right direction In municipal
.government..' And It is this the. man
whs holds authority of law to do
' certain thing must not plead tmpoteney
(Until he baa exhausted every means. at
band to accomplish the carrying out of
Ibis duties as he swore to perform them.
"Let no one believe that this so
called reform movement is merely for
the day. It Is part of the forward
'march of the American people toward
- ; better things in the management of
j their: governmental affairs. And the per
"loon who fails to recognise the truth of
'these statements would better realise
that be is out 01 Joint with the times."
' Mr. Lamont baa been mentioned by
bis friends for mayor. He was a cair
Idldate for the nomination in 101 when
IL V. Inman was named by the Demo

t twho are preparing to Invoke the refer

'000,000 in which are 1he sums assigned
for the four normal schools of the state,

"Speaking for myself," he said," "I
do not wish the state to adopt ft pol-
jlcy' of parsimony toward publio Insti
tutions, educational or otherwise. Ore

expenses of government must increase.
" We must reach out for larger things and
buUd our schools to fit new conditions.

"It Is not a, question of being nig

the bill which t to be referred to the

"Down in Tamhlll coonty we are hot

a fall of 1 feet Is had. and iMr a

through the cone, it was. IS feet wide.
11 feet high in the arch and nine feet
high at either wall. Later the width
waa made 14 feet, and now the manage

Of this work is expected to be finished

In driving the tunnel through the
rocky cone, serious flows of hot water
were encountered, necessitating great
precaution on the part of the force.
Other difficulties have been overcome.
The 'two miles of the old channel en

the ' alluvium Is entirely washed. ' The
three quarters of a mile below the
tunnel, along which dlataaoa the big
pipe la to be erected to give better fall
for the power, plant, will be washed at
least a part of the year, but in- flood
times will not be available, as -the pipe
will not handle the entire stream.
