Would Be Prosperous Do This At last, nftcr years of longing nud unavailing effort, the hard sur facing of Dawson Btrcet Is about to come to nass. The contract was let Tuesday evening to the Star Sand Co, and 60 davs' time is given for for the completion of the work. Un doubtedly this is the most import ant street improvement ever effect ed in St. Tohns. It is the real nr- tcrv of traffic to Portland, and iierctoforc during the wet sea son has been practically impassa ble. The city attorney was cspc- c a v net vc in clearing away any legal debris and other impediments toward the Improvement of this im portant thoroughfare, and that tne contract Is now let Is due to his ce lerity and manner of brushing nil obstacles aside.

The connecting link between the city limits and Lombard street is being taken care of by Prancis I. McKenua, who has ctitious all prepared to place with street the Portland city council providing for the hardsurfaclug of the connect lug link. That Dawson street is to be improved is pleasing news to all Many will be attracted to St Johns in consequence. A hard surface Improvement from and to Port laud on both sides of the river makes an ideal driveway, and will be utilized by most all the large fin ders, capitalists and promoters coining to Portland. It will make the finest nnd most complete drive way outside of Portland, nnd 110 iniKrtnnt visitor there can nffoid to miss it. The improvement of Dawson street will mean much for St. Johns. Wall Street is the only place where money can be loaned with any certainty that repayment can be had instantly when wanted If the borrower fails to pay when the loan Is called, the stock exchange affords n market where the collateral can he instantly sold.
