OREGON CITY :
SATURDAY, JUL? 18, 1808
Mistaken Potter. We regret to learn
that petition to make nn unimportant
change in the Ganemah road where it turns
to the left at the lower end, crossing lat
eral lots diagonally in order to reach Main
Street, has met with cooildcrablo opposi
tion. The proposed Improvement would
bring the Cnnemah road down a block or
two lower on the back street, and then
reach Main Street through a side street.
Nobody's rights would be interfered with
by this change lha symmetry of the up
per end of Main Street would be preferred,
ami if any permanent Improvement
should ever be demanded and carried out,
the street would then be where it must
eventually be, further back and higher up,
than it now is, where it turns down to the
left through the sandy bank, into Main
street.
Our city, deprived as she is of a large
part of her productive Industry, as well as
prod DCtive capital, is following a most sui
cidal course of policy by opposing it, this
or any other way the investment of capital
in machinery and permanent improvements.
While the interests of oue, two, or halt a
dozen may be opposed to improvements, or
to those who are disposed to make them,
the whole community are far more in
terested in seeing such projects fostered
and carried out.

Folk Raising. On Thursday afternoon,
upraise the old Liberty Pole, which had
been thoroughly refitted with new lop
mast, cross-trees, fee. The crowd wns not
quite so large as when the pole was first
raised, but the interest was as general, and
we noticed the presence of several w ho held
nloof at the first raising, regarding it as a
" black republican dodge," but who now
appear to endorse the pole, and the flag,
mid to be imbued with the patriotic spirit
w hich leads men to rally round the old
flag in any and every cause, when it is im
periled, by foreign assault or domestic
treachery, It is time that men of common
sense, (and most nun like to be credited
with the Ksses-iou of -o much, no matter
how ih'ir political sympathies may have
been originally, should now be in favor of
