Councilman Decides to Fix Up his Section of Front Street at Once. Councilman J. N. Nolson has grown weary o waiting for tho city council to get Front street paved, and, disgusted with tho appearance of tho long mud puddle, has started to navo the street In front of his own property. This morning with a crow-bar and shovel, ho personally undertook the work of fixing up tho street in front of his holdings just across from tho city hall and Are station. Ho owns sixty ieet rrontago and is determined that at least that much of Front street shall appear decent and ho in condition for travel. Some of the old plank paving still remains in front of nis property. The planks have done servlco for eighteen years and were not put flown properly in the first place, ho says. Ho is confident that if three sills were placed under tho planks and a proper foundation put under neath all that they would have lasted oven longer. He has had several loads of fire-clay hauled in, and also a number of loads of rock. If ho can dig down sufficiently, ho intends to uso tho rock and lire-clay ns a foundation for plank paving. If not, ho intends to lay the rock as level as possible and put on a top coat of concreto and gravel. Favors I'lanlc I'uvini. "I am going to have tho street in front of my property passable any way," said Mr. Nelson this morning as ho rested on his crow-bar for a moment. "Front streec should bo paved at once, In fact it should havo been paved a long time ago. It is a shame to see it in its present condi tion. Right here, tho mud puddles and dilapidated planks would seri ously hamper tho fire department. "Personally I am in favor of pav ing it with plank. If tho plank pav ing is proporly put in, it will last a long time. It is too wet hero for block paving. I know this because I have communicated with a cousin who re sides In Portland. Ho tells mo that block paving Is all right whoro it Is dry but where it is wet so much of the season as It is along the coast. it Isn't durable and satisfactory. I am going to insist on plank, stono or concreto paving. Uitulithic would be all right but it would bo hard to get hero." Will Ask Soon. Tho noxt regular meeting of the city council will bo held Monday ovoning, and It is likely that final action will be taken to secure tho paving of Front street. City En gineer Sanberg expects to havo the plans and specifications for block paving ready tomorrow. Ho has done this work rapidly, tho council hav ing only a few days ago instructed him to prepare them. Councilman Sacchl is determined to rush tho work. Ho said that tho present awful condition of Front streot necessitated action. Ho con sulted Contractor Hugh Melanin this morning about tho length of tlmo that it would require if tho prelimi naries and work are rushed. Mr. .ulcl-alu said that it would be at least July 4th beforo tho work would bo done. .1. W. Honnctt and other property owners aro also insisting that hasto bo made. Mr. Honnctt is tempted to follow Councilman Nelson's oxamplo and pavo in front of his own property personally oven if tho remainder of tho work Is left undone. Night Watchman Condi-on is in Favor Having Itcgulnr Closing Hours l'r Tliein. Night Watchman Condron is be hind a project to havo tho billard halls In Alarshfleld close at midnight, tho same hour that the saloons are now required to close. IIo has spok en to borne of tho proprietors and it is understood that they are agreeable to the plan, in case all of them consent to closo at 12 o'clock, It will not require any action by the city. Mr. Condron believes that the move would bo a good one for the city. Ho says that tho billiard halls take in very little money alter mid night and that no ono would suffer in any way by all of them closing at the same regular hour. RAINFALL IS BELOW HOWL EXPECT RAILWAY WILL BE BUILT HERE SOON- Portland I'apt'i' Says That Indica tions Are That Drain-Coos JS.iy Line Will lie Hushed. One ot tho most important Oregon railway lines upon which it is ho;od construction will bo resumed at an early date is that of the Oregon Western, tho Southern Pacific ex tension from tho main Hue at Drain to Marshlleld, a distance of 81 miles. Sonio work has been done on this road, but much remains to be done, and it is estimated that two years would be required to complete it. Tho expense of building this line will be about $3,200,000.
