Proposition Is Being Considered Se
riously by Those Who Have the
Problem to Solve for City's Water
Faming Victims.
That th proposed second squeduct
from Bull Run to th city be built of
reinforced concrete I th auggeation
that has been mad to th water board
and which is now being Investigated, by
Its member.
At th last meeting of the board a
communication was read from E. O.
Spltsner, calling attention to th ad
vlslblllty of using reinforced concrete
for this projected tunnel. Mr. Spltsner
Is not oonnected with any contracting
company, and mad the suggestion sim
ply as a cttlsen Interested in the water
system of Portland.
The proposed now pip Una Is being
seriously discussed, not only by th
thousands of people who war short of
water during test July and August, but
also by tha members of the water board,
which is generally alow to take up any
new prop nasi.
The oast, of th project has been
roughly estimated at from 11,100,000 to
11.000.000.
It is declared that the Increase of
papulation In Portland Is so rapid that
if conatructlon of the additional pipeline
doe not commence within a year or two
the city as a whole will be short of
water to three or four years. It Is ex
pected that at least two year will be
required for the construction of the
aqueduct. For this reason th offi
cials are being urged to take th pre
liminary step without delay.
Thoee who favor reinforced concrete
point to the aqueducts the Romans built
centuries ago, and which have withstood
the wear of time in a remarkable man
ner. These have no -reinforcements of
eteel bars. A number of cities in
Franc and Germany have recently built
huge water tunnels of reinforced con
crete. While representatives of the concrete
companies say the coat of such an aque
duct will be cheaper than u, constructed
of steel pipe, a number of property
owners who have been looking Into the
matter declare that they would be will
ing to pay a slightly higher original
price for the pipeline if there was any
aaaurance the city would benefit by a
permanent tunnel. Iron pipe would
have to be renewed every do sen years
or so.
Already on the prevent pipeline elec
trolysis has made Itself apparent by
working . minute holes through the
metal pipe. Even if the pipe is covered
with a coating of asphalt, as has bosh
suggeeted. th effect of the runaway
electricity will always be felt. It is
swat.
Engineer Clark of the water depart
ment haa been instructed to look Into
the ad visibility of using relnferced con
crete, and It Is expected that he will
soon report his findings to th hoard.

Declare Character of City Is Dam
aged by Such Actions on Part of
Members of Police Force and Of
ficials Should Act.
The following letter Is self-explana
tory :
Portland. Or., Oct. II. To th Editor
of the Journal The writer of thla pro
test was aa eye-witness of th recapture
of a man named J. Hogsell. near second
and Stark streets, last Wednesday aft
ernoon, by three policemen, one of
whom certainly added an act of unneces- j
sary brutality .to, his record and gave
ample evidence of detestable cowardice
by repeatedly striking- th prisoner '
while he was securely held by the other
officers and was not making th least
effort at resistance.
This exhibition of brawn, muscle and
lack of common sense called down upon
the officer tba eevereet censure of
nearly a score of men who were eye
witnesses to the disgraceful act, and
many of whom are business men of un
questioned Judgment. They war not
slow to express their disgust with the
unwarranted abuee of a helpleaa prls
onsr'oy a man who plainly said by his
actions, "I am a big policeman; I'll
smash somebody because I can."
Below will be found the name of sev
eral who expressed their desire to tes
tify to the brutality of tba officer and
signed their name to a list, all of
whom urge that some action be taken.
The writer, fully realises the difficul
ties that beset an officer in dealing
with desperate lawbreakers, and further,
that a guardian of th law should have
the unqualified support of all respect
able citizens while discharging his du
ties In a manly way. But there are too
many men who are unfit to be clothed
with the authority of the law, because
they use the authority as a license to
gratify a cowardly desire to make a
show of "nerve" and "strength." And
a very noticeable feature In most such
cases Is that this particular kind of of
ficer seldom catches a murderer, robber
or burglar; plain drunks and unresist
ing Offenders of the less harmful class
are their "specialty." They certainly
steer clear of the "dangerous class" here
In Portland, aa a record of Crimea com
mitted and criminals arrested within
the past year will a how.
Few cities cap show such apparent In
efficiency, Jealousies snd Internal dis
sensions as have Impaired the usefulness
of our city's police and detective forcee
recently.
True, there have been broken arm a

Insane effort to break a club or- billy
over some one's bead, but not one of
fender out of ten has. been a desperate
character, and even had the culprit been
a criminal of the worst troe there is
no earthly excuss for brutality unless
where there is a deeper te effort at
escape and a resort to force by the
fugitive.
In this Instance, as in most others of
the same nature, no one proffered to
take the matter up, though every eye
witness expressed his condemnation of
the set. and one went Bo fsr aa to write
ah anonymous communication to the
chief of police, as told In Thursday's
paper, which also gavs meager details
of how easily It waa explained away1
after a thorough (?) Investigation.
One excuse might be offered for the
Inefficiency of the force and that Is
tbe fact that nearly all members there
of are trying to keep track of the latest
news, of the personal disagreements and
Jealousies In the deportment and tbe
probable successors to . tbe chief sad
captain, but th heavy work being
