Police Patrolman John Qulnton.
By Fred Lockley.
John Qulnton, Portland patrolman.
wears on his helmet the figure No. 1
No. 1 usually telgnlftes something. It
does In the case of Patrolman Qulnton.
At any time you happen to be at
the Jefferson street depot of the Ore
gon Electric company you win see a
dignified looking: officer gray-mus
tached, gray-haired. broad-shouldered
and powerfully built, a six footer. If
, you watch him for a while you will sea
lie is always on the Job.
I had an hour to spare, so I watched
him. One of the employes at the
depot In speaking of John Qulnton said:
"There are three saloons here In the
t depot. --Ne matter which way -you ap
proach the depot you head Into a saloon,
Naturally there are, or rather were, a
good many drunken men around,
"Qulnton was sent down here 10
months ago. The benches outside the
depot usfcd to be monopolized by men
who were stupidly or quarrelsomely
drunk. It didn't take Qulnton more than
a cay or two to rescue those benches
for women pasHengers. He is death on
drunks. He doesn't temporize with
them. When he grips them by the col
lar they move right along.
. "Another thing he has done Is to
eliminate the 'masher.' The other day
& young girl was in the ladies' rest
room; a flashily dressed young fellow
took his seat In the waiting room and
began an elaborate flirtation. Qulnton
walked to the door of the rest room and
said: 'I'll have to shut this door,
young lady. I am afraid that young
fellow will strain his eyes.' "
The railroad pays the larger part of
the expense for maintaining a woman
at the depot to act as a travelers' aid.
Bhe is under the auspices, however, of
the Y. V. C. A. Mrs. Johntton's and Mr.
Qulnton's .work dovetails in many
places In protecting young girls and in
helping the traveling public.
Over 80 Tears In Servlo.
When the bustle of a departing train
had subsided, I went up to Officer
Qulnton 'and said: "May I ask you a
few questions'"
"STou surely may. One of the things
they pay me for is to answer ques
tions." "Ioes No. 1 on your helmet mean that
you are the oldest policeman on the
force?"
"No. I am among the oldest, but
Sergeant Roberts and lou Hirsh and
Kndicott and Joe Day and a few others
have been on the force longer than I
have. It was on the 11th of April,
either 23 or 24 years ago that I Joined
the force.
"Do you havo to answer many ques
'.; tlonsT','
."Do It Well there are 42 trains A
day coming or going. They run from
two to five coaches to each train and
nearly every passenger thinks he don't
get the worth of his money. If he don't
ask me some question. Sometimes a
passenger will aBk me a lot of questions
while I am In the waiting room, meat
me on the platformflve minutes later
and think I am a different officer and
ask me the same qucstlpiis to see if the
Xirst policeman told him right."
"Is answering questions your prin
cipal duty? Do you ever have any
fights?" I asked.
"1'es, I have to fight occasionally,
.but that is a part of the game. It Is
one of the things you expect when you
Jolu the force. If a man thinks he is
going to have a sirnne and easy timo on
the police force he had better not Join
It."
"Tell me about some of your trou
Dies." "No. Policemen and firemen don't
blow their own horns. But I don't mind
telling you a little about some of the
mixups I was In before 1 Joined the
force here In Portland. .
( , "WHeri I Was a young fellow I was a
railroader. I was working on a railroad I
In Mexico. Some drunken Greasers took
a notion to wipe- us out bocause we
.were Americans. Feel that dent in my
. skull. I got that In that fight. A bul
let knooked a qttunk out of my skull.
It took a piece Of bone out and it left
that depression.
;WHt did I do? There were only, a
: few. of. us), and there were a lo of
Greaser with knives and guns. We
did all we could do backed up against
the wall and fought them off. We
killed four and crippled some. They
killed one of our' bunch and crippled us
up somey;buti we' licked 'em.
"I had a fight' Only two months ago.
i arrested what I thought, was a drunk
en man and he turned' out to be a craiy
man and a 'mighty ugly customer.' ,
"One time about -7 years go I. was
called by the officer on the beat next
to mine to help , him arrest a lot of
foreigners. They were drunk and were
fighting. They were using knives and
clubs. It was a nasty thing to mix up
In. We waded In and they came for me.
I used my cjub and expected every
second to see my comrade wading In
to help me out. It was too much for
him. lie had turned and ran away. I
made the arrests. No I never reported
him for cowardice. He resigned soon
after.
"A man must be a man or he can
never make a policeman. He must stand
the gaff. He must think first of duty
and then of himself. If he looks out for
Himself first he will leave a brother J
uxneer in tne lurch and -disgrace his uni
form. Courage is one of the things that
is expected of a policeman. If he lacks
it he should get a Job mowing lawns
or feeding chickens or doing fancy
work.
Police Action In The Dalles.
"Before I signed on here I was a
policeman at The Dalles. That Is about
30 years ago. In those davs the cow
boys used to come to The Dalles to
spend their money and to paint the
town, Between the cowboys, the sheeD-
herders and the yeggs and hoboes, be
ing a policeman wasn't a very ladylike
Job in those days. I had to use my club.
my rists ana sometimes my gun. The
funniest mixup I ever was In was
following a yegg through the railroad
yards and cornering him In a shed.. It
was so dark you couldn't see your lfcnd
before you. I groped for him and caught
mm. He stabbed me twice before I
could strike him. I had to guess where
his head was but I made a good aruesa
and knocked him out I dragged him out
and when I got to the light I found
he had stabbed me with a screw driver
filed to a needle point.
"But while a policeman must not
avoid fighting when necessary it isn't
the whole of his job by any means.
"Bam Farrish was chief of police
when I was made a patrolman. A good
many years ago, a nervous high strung
horse hitched to a single boggy ran

made a jump for him. He' swerved. I
stopped him but in doing so I got the

west of . the machinery hall a great
part of the grounds are under rail and
within a short time heavily loaded
freight trains will deliver loads to al
most all sections of the three mile

-A great -ferry freight slip r near-ma

pleted the heaviest-exhibits In the world
will be unloaded directly from steam

Sixty million feet of lumber In all will
be used upon the main exhibit palaces 1
and the railway will facilitate their I
construction. f
As rapidly as one section of the ex
hibit palaces are completed an army of
workmen will begin applying a texture
known as Travertine stone to the out
side of the buildings; this finish, which
is a composition resembling cement, is
of a beautiful ivory cream that at a
distance will appear almost white.

run into my groin. It ruptured me. I
had it sewed up. Some time later I
arrested a drunken sailor. I had a hard
fight with him. He was a powerful fel
low and ugly. In the fight my wound
was torn open again.
some years ago a street salesman
was selling cheap Jewelry on the street
corner. He had the street almost
blocked. A runaway horse came tearing
down the street. I saw that some of the
crowd would be killed or injured. I made
a try to catch the horse's bridle. I stop
ped it but the iron caulk on Its shoe
struck my ankle and broke the ankle
bone. I went down still holding one of
the reins. In the mixup the horse broke
my arm and four ribs and threw my
shoulder out of place. It was three
months and twelve days before I could

March, 1911, I wasn't able to report for
duty for over a year.
"Wheifl reported for-duty they put 1
me In the north park opposite the cus
tom house but 10 months ago they
transferred me here.
"Promptness, reliability and courage
are three things which make policemen
efficient. Some of the young fellows
stint themselves for sleep. Next day
they are grouchy or report late or are
not alert on their rounds. In other words
they are not up to the mark of effi
ciency.
"I am eligible for retirement now.
Then I will get half pay. $50 a month.
That will keep me in comfort Tes It is i
a good job but It takes a good man to

to risk his life and he must keep good
natured and be courteous. '
