Can It Be Made Better?
It takes but one look at the Second street improvement
to realize that a serious blunder has been made. The Eve
ning; Observer is not inclined to roar about who is to blame,
as fastening blame for public errors is an endless task and
only serves to create discord.
What this' newspaper is interested in is trying to help
devise some plan whereby Second street can be made a
decent thoroughfare and not permit it to remain as it is
a disgrace, to modern engineering, and a street that will
always cause criticism and harsh remarks.
If the property owners who will have to pay for this
piece of work and we happen to be interested along these
lines, being one of them would get together and express
a willingness to even increase cost of the improvement,
would it be possible to work out a street which would be
permanent and at the same time sightly?
We believe this might be done t-nrt all would feel much
better than to permit this improvement to stand as it is.
The paving on Pennsylvania avenue and on Second street
between Pennsylvania and Spring streets is entirely too
narrow for safe travel. This is especially true when one
considers that machines speed up in making the hill. Sharp
turns and more sharp turns following the speed which must
be gained add to the danger. 1
Another feature which may or may not be important
is whether the street will stand without a retaining wall
to hold the base.' Wo presume engineers have determined
this fact, but td'CWJ irfytfaTnt'lobks quesTtbhablo. 1 ""'
' We should endeavor while street improvement is in order-
and while construction companies are on the ground
to rebuild a portion of Pennsylvania avenue and a portion
of Second street so that in years to come it will not be
looked upon ns a failure and a blot upon La Grande's
municipal map. It must be remembered that Second street
will very likely be the main avenue connecting north and
south La Grande as that street already enjoys heavy travel
over the viaduct to the Bowman-Hicks plant.

Portland, the Gateway
F. L. Hudson, manager of the Port of Portland, has
issued a beautiful booklet on Oregon and her relation to
the Port of Portland which could very well bo adopted by
the chamber of commerce of that city as a piece of official
advertising.
Tho cover page shows the important place Portland
holds in American commerce and tho inside pages carry
correct illustrations of Oregon's main industries. Tables
tell of tho imports and exports both foreign and inter
coastal, all of which are very interesting.
The Pacific ocean is one of Oregon's greatest assets
lind the Poi-t of Portland should grow constantly under the
correct supervision. Mr. Hudson has shown marked ability
in handling the traffic of the port, and each year the in
crease indicates a constancy to business which reflects it
self in the amount of imports and exports handled through
Oregon's gateway.
Wheat and lumber are, of course, the largest commodi
ties in the export column.
Second street, as it is now improved, offers convenii nor
if it is alxmt the worst piece of 'bric-ac-brnc ever appear
ing in a modern city. Still, a few fences to keep machine?
from tumbling into the lower levels, a flock of lights and
a traffic cop on duty day and night may make that street
quite a thoroughfare, after all.
Whoever started the north wind to hKiwin this yeai
has cost the northwest untold fortunes, for nothing grows
