Street Improvements and
New Buildings Go
ing Up
NEW BUSINESS BLOCKS
Work Commenced on Eleventh
Street Under Contractors
J. W. Moflit and
Charles Parker
We are aotually brushing up. Any
one with half an eye can eco that Ore
gon Oity has made a great stop to
wards the front withiu the past year
and a very noticeable stri'ie in the
few weeks just passed. Everybody
seems to ba getting a move on, and
there is street improvement and new
buildings going up and more talked
of. Three new business blocks will
anon take the plaoe of the old fashion
ed, close quartered ones. Two of
these will be on Main street and the
plans for the third are now in the
hands of the contractor and will soou
be praoing Seventh street on the hill.
There was never soch a demand for
houses as at the present tiuio aud
Frank DuBCli isv heltmig matters out
by erecting on Twelfth street three
modern houses.
Anout the street improvement it is a
most pleasing fight to see the stomps
beiua rooted ont of Eleventh street
aud the dirt flying to grade, teams
aid men getting busy nuder Contrac
tors J. W. Mnllifc and Charles Parker.
The work is well started, beginning
near the Southern Paeiliu tracks and
working eat, and as soon as the
proper implements can be assembled
the work will be materially augmented
bv additional men and teams aud be
pushed to au early completion.
A very large majority of the prop
erty owners who have been trying (or
several years to have the street im
proved are rejoicing. The cost of the
improvement, win be in the neighbor
hood of lal.OOO. City Euigneer Mel-
drum made a resurvey of the street
with a viuw to determining whether
or not the grade fronting the property
of Captain J T. Appersou could be
ohauged to the satisfaction of all par
ties concerned. If the grade is al
tered the tuit of Uaptaiu Appersou to
restrain the city from improving the
street in front of his property will be
withdrawn. It seems probable that
au amicable arr&uKeuieut can be made
Following this improvement there
will bo other streets, petitions for
the improvement of which have al
ready been made to the council and
we will see for Oregon Oity within
tbejiext few months a greater ad
vancement than she has experienced
for years in the past. Let the good
work go on.

"It appears to me," said Sooretarv
Sawyer of the publicity department of
the Commercial Club, yesterda ,
"that the city council could do do bet
ter than to take immediate steps look
ing toward some provision to prevent
dusty streets in Oregon City during
the coming summer. This is particu
larly true of Seventh street, for ex
ample. Sprinkling with water affords
only temporary relief. The strictly
modern aud up-to-date idea is to lay
the dust with petroleum. This forms
a crust and affords much relief. It
prevents dust from arising which is
too often blown into one's clothing,
one's homo or one's place of business.
"It must be particularly trying to
the grocer or the drygoads raerohant
to expose their wares to the pnblic
aud to have these made the mere de
positories of dust for every passing
gust of wind. It ruins the goods or
niakesthein undesirable. The house
wife is equally auuoyed. Now, the
streets in many California towns and
along country roads as well, are kept
oiled, and the result is delightful. I
have never looked into the nia'ter of
expense, but it cannot be excessive, or
it. woudi not be so generally employed.
It is choap anyway when one con
siders the oouifort it gives, and it un
doubtedly1 saves mauy timea over its
cost in values ou goods whioh de
teriorate extensively from being re
peatedly deluged with oopious de
posits of dust."
