OFMTS SEWER
Steam Shove! Begins Excava
tions '"'of $693,110.10 City Job;
Big Crew of Men to Po Work
- Construction of the Lents trunk
sewer, one of the largest, newer proj
ects ever undertaken in Portland, has
been begun by J. F. Shea, the con
tractor. Ground was broken during the
week, when a steam shovel was set to
work on excavations at the east portal
of the tunnel at East 21st street and
Harney avenue. Sellwood.
About 40 men ar on the work, and
next week, or within 10 days, the force
will be increased- to 159. Later on this
will be materially Increased. The work
will be . forced ahead with a large
corps of men as long as good weather
prevails.
The second excavating machine will
be placed on the job next Tuesday or
Wednesday.- starting in at East 30th
street and working easterly. The third
excavator will be started at the WiU
lamette river and work toward the
tunnel portals.
The uncertainties of sewer construc
tion were exemplified Saturday, when,
at the six-foot level at Kast Slst street
and Harney avenue, the workmen
struck' rock. This iedse is approxi
mately 10 feet in depth, and it has
been necessary to blast it out.,- It Is
believed that it extends but a short
Way along the course of the tunnel.
The I.ents sewer contract calls for
tcompletion within 18 months. The fine
record made try J. F. Shea on con;
struction of the Foster road sewer,
for which the Lents trunk will be the
outfall, and on the Oregonian avenue
sewer, just completed, indicates that
the Lents sewer will be finished wey
within the time limit. The contract
priceJs $698,110.10, on a basis of pro
gress payments. The route is from
East-9id street in Lents to East 21st
street and Harney avenue, in Sell-
wood, and thence to the Willamette
river.

Tom Kay Turns $100 Won
From John B e ail to
Mrs. J. H. Price.
When John Beal, away back before
the primary election, badgrered Tom
Kay of Salem into backing his -opinion
that Ben Oleott would win the prtpiary
nomination with $100 of his1 money,
the Portland business man had 4ittle
thought that'is $100 ultimately would
go to aid & widowed mother and three
orphaned children, but it did.
John Beal was eating lunch at the
Imperial one day before the primary
election when Tom Kay .stopped at an
adjoining .table to greet some polit
ically curious ') friends.
"Who going to be nominated gov
ernor?"' one of them asked.
"Ben Oleott," Tom answered, posi
tive as usual.
"Have you got any money that says
so?" Beal broke In from where he sat.
"About $100, Tom answered him,
and Beal reached for his check book.
Toure on." he said, while Kay
grinned and dug up his share of the
bet. . :
-In dne time, after Hall's contest blew
up, the stakeholder forwarded Kay his
$100, plus the $100 that had been
Real's.
Then came the killing pf J. H. Price,
prohibition enforcement agent at New
Grand Ronde, the appeal in the widow's
behalf, and a line in the paper, along
-ith many other lines, telling that $1,00
had been sent to the fund by Tom
Kay.
"I see," the stakeholder remarked
to Kay. who was in Portland yester-1
day, "you've lost that bet you won." j
"Xot lost it," Tom grinned, twisting j
around on one foot as he has a habit i
of dotng, "but I thought it'd please
