While prospecting the line tor the last too feet of tha sewer early thla week a suspicious depression was discovered and a deep well unearthed. The tun-,, nel at thla place runs more than (0 fee from the surface. The depression. It waa found, marked an old well nearly (0 feet deep and filled with refuse.. For two .days a tjlg pump worked - on the well and late yesterday afternoon it was pumped dry and work waa again atarted on the tunnel. Had the tunnel been driven beneath the wVU a cave-in would ha,ve resulted that would have buried the crew alive and Ita rescue would have been practically Impossible. ' The tunnel Is now complete 1o about 40 feet each, side of the last shaft and la going forward at the rate of some 30 feel a day. There remains 360 feet of tunnel to dig and more than S00 feet of sewer to lay before the line from Williams avenue to the river la com plete.

Tha investigation waa recom mended and the committee named two weeks ago, and no action haa been taken. It haa been rumored that the p ro uted Jnflulrtpuldneverbemadefo fear of certain disclosures which would not be highly complimentary to cer tain Individuals who have been attack ing tha gaa company. Chairman 'John Annand of tha council committee aaid yesterday that the committee would be called together within the next two weeks.' "Several members have been so busy they could not leave their work," aaid he, "or we would have called the com mlttee together some time ago. Aa soon as the members feel that -they can spare the time the Investigation will bo started, which will be not later than two weeks hence."

The machine la the only nne west of Denver, except one recently aet up In Ban Francisco, and doea the work of a large crew of men. It la a dirt-carrying machine, which keeps an endless line of big buckets moving from where the excavation la being made to where the completed sewer Is ready to be filled in. A miniature railroad, or rather twin system of roads, forma the chief part of tha machine. .. The buckets run of dirt are hoisted to the top or this railroad, which Is 12 feet above the ground, and supported by an lnn tres I tlework. These buckets run on the track to a point directly over the spot where dirt Is needed and then are re leaaed. the bucketa automatically dump ing andstartlnr back for another load. A big engine pperates the machinery and when a portion, of the. sewer Is complete tha entire system Is moved gxn or tne section nn- lahedU a second set of rails- aupporting the system.

LAY PLANK AGAIN. teeet Bain Given Cheap Zm i provement. . Now plank Is being laid on Ruaaell street from WlUlama avenue west to theterminus of the street on the water front, and a highway which ia the busi est in Lower Albina, will soon be opened to traffto after having been almost im passable through the winter. Because of the wear' of heavy traffio en thla thoroughfare It was hoped by aome of the buelneaa men of the district that a macadam Improvement would be placed, but the old policy of putting In a new plank street every two years or so Is being-, contlnued-at-the petition of the majority of the property .owners tn the district. One of tha disadvantages large warehouse and railroad teaming traffic; fif suffering '"' tm ii trlct Is the absence of Improved streets connecting with Russell or Goldsmith streets, the only two outlets for a large waterfront traffic. Without exception the streets within tHree or four blocks of the docks, mills and warehouses of Lower Albina are In a condition vastly worse than tKe orig inal county roads they evolved from. Tears ago plank roadways were built but nothing Is left of such Improve ments except an occasional splintered plank - that a tick a up from - a - mire of refuse and mud. Crossings are unknown and tha man who traverses the section usually spends half an hour building a walk from a handy slabwood pile be fore venturing to cross. Heavy wagons have tried to get through by using tho walks and these are usually In a condl tion as bad aa the streets. For two years no improvement haa been aug rested for this district, though the traf fio- tor- the-Albina - ferry- Is forced 16 use the streets and the local teaming la unusually heavy.
