there Is no one part of the town to
which improvement are confined. Stretch

west beyond Wiur ntreet and from the
AVIllamettc Kiver south to the crent of
IVtll-'jn Hill, one ftoos scarcely a block
without fin-lino; ome new building under

made. The new SmittMTii I'acille Hallway

hIoiik the Southern INn-iftu lines. This
bulhlinK Is cornposi'd of concrete and
pressed brick with slate roof, cement and
tiled floors, and tiled walls, which will
t-opt ahonl j;:o.io and it is expected to
have It complete in every particular
sometime in June."
With the construction of the new depot
came a complete reorganization of the.
depot yard.- and a change in the location
of th freight department, the ware
houses and the sidetracks. Between all
the tracks, extending for a distance of
about a quarter of a mile, the Southern
Oregon crushed granite will be used and
an ideal yard will he the result.
Paving crews are at v-ork laying the
Mtulithte material on Kighth street. The
paving extends from the principal busi
ness street one block ea.t of the Baptist
Church. On the west side of Willamette
street pa venient is being extended about
the salne distant e. although a majority of
property-holders have signed a petition
asking that the paving on this side be
extended out to Ulair street. if this Ls
done. Wlchth street will be paved for a
distance of about n mile. Contract are
already slgrmd up for a mile of paving
nit Kleventh street, and the work of ex
cavating has been under way for several
days.
Along this street, which connects the
business section of town with the Uni
versity of Oregon, great improvement
are being made by the property-holders
In the hope of making it the most beauti
ful section of the city.
Make street Attractive
Already many of the yards possess
great charm and the splendid trees
stretching on both sides from one cud to
the other are the subjects of favorahh
comment by visitors to t he city. One
hundred palms have been ordered by the
people who live on this street and an
J'ilevciith-Street Improvement Club was
organized several months ago for the
express purpose of co-operation toward
making their street as attractive as pos
sible, but there is also a Civic Improve
ment Club in the eastern part of town,
common I known as Kairmount, for the
Mast tfide Improvement Club, and these
people are determined to make their sec
tion the most attractive of any, lying: as
It doe between the university proper and
the beautiful hill park, recent ly given to
tin city by lion. T. IS. Hendricks, and
known as Hendrick' Park. it is ex
pected that the streetcar line will bo com
pleted within a couple of blocks of the
park this Summer, affording a continuous
line from i lie Sou t hern I 'act fie depot to
the park. The College HIM Improvement
Club, the most recent one to organize for
civic improvement. is making rapid
strides low.ird beautifying that very con
veniently sit nated and elevated section
of the town known as College Hill. It
Is hoped to secure a carline for that dis
trict sometime next season.

KAINIKK, Or.. April 1!. (Special.)
That Rainier is fat overcoming; the ef
fects of the late financial crisis Is
proven by the fact that almost every
sawmill and logging camp in the sec
tion Is now in operation, and those that
have not yet started are making every
preparation to do so in the near future.
The Rain tt r Jdill Company is about
the only one near Rainier that is not
now in active operation. The proprie
tors are complet ing arrangements
whereby the mill will resume opera
tions within a few weeks.
The Oregon-Kansas Lumber Com
pany has Just completed the installa
tion of a new band re-saw and will
begin active operations the first of the
week. "The company employs ahout 60
men and cuts about 6.V000 feet daily.
The W'illard Case Lumber Company lias
been running; almost all Winter and
employs about 45 men with a daily out
put of about 35.000 feet per day. The
Patterson Lumber Company is cutting
about 30,000 feet per day and employs
some .10 men. The C. C. Wilson Lum
per Company, with a crow of about 30
men. is cutting daily about 30,000 feet.
There are several other smaller mills
in the surrounding: country tributary
to Rainier that are employing many
men and add materially to the pay
roll. The Columbia River Sash &
pour Factory Is employing; some SO to
100 men and continues steadily In op
eration. The Rainier Mineral Soap Factory is
making; preparations to resume work
In the near future and will employ
some 20 men. There are about 15 or
20 logging camps near here that are
employing about -'0 men each, or a
total of at least 300 men. making: a
total of more than 500 men on the pay
roll who do a large part of their busi
ness in Rainier.
Banan shots fit the feet. Rosenthal's.
Is prospering. Business seems good in
every t. hanncl of trade. Some of the
most substanti.il improvements in the
history of this town have been made
during the last VZ months, and at this
writing two large brick buildings are
being, completed, with the prospect of two
more in the Immediate future.
Two years ago a small creamery was
started here. Its home being In an ob
scure part of the city. The operator was
a man who fully realized the possibilities
of this section, and commenced to edu
cate the farmers In his line ami they
were apt pupils. This Spring he was
forced to double the capacity of his plant.
In doing so he selected a down-town
site, a nil tod a y Cot t age i rove boas t s of
one of the finest creameries in the state.
Another important industry has just
been put in motion here. This time it is
a match factory. Its capacity is 40 cases
of construction will soon be commenced.
This road is backed by Eastern capital
and it has long been known that it Is
the desire of the company to reach the
ocean, as well as to make valley connections.
