From present Indic.i'iotis it appears tli.it tho coming season v-ill lie the busiest cve-r ex perienced by htilldcts mil architects in 1'ort land.

It Is a noticenbl? fact th.v, tlicro is now living given more than ordinary interest in the building of fino rrtlite'nit s, not only by those in medium circumstances, who, by patient industry and bard woik, have secured tho nemo of their ambition, tho means to provide themselves with a comfortable hv'iiu of their own, but among the wealthy elms citizens, who are perfecting pi ins of cro'ting Imndwiio and costly hours.

For tho purposo of ascertaining how tho work already con tracted for would compare in quantity with that of previous Springs, n representative of the StaniiaiiI) yesterday visited several of the architect in the city nud they alo, to a man, entertained the views above cxpro.scd. Mr. Y II.

Land in tho northern part of tho city, particularly in tlio Couch addi tion, extending to the western limits of tb city, is being: milch souirht aftnr. mid nrieos have advanced greatly for eligible sites in Ois direction. .Many new buildings are t he erected this season in that portion of tM city, which of Itself has tended to iiicrcni values, mid so general is tho inquiry being made that holders 'do not c.iro to sell except At an almost fancy figure. In tho southwest portion of the city tlicro is also considerable activity dis played, and there i shown an evident desire by many to nrocii'o sufficient land to build upon ns spceililjviw posdblc, and thus socuro a d'sirabla location for a residence. Many others are dalling in the market as a spscu lntion, wliicjr is proving to thoso having tho means to Invest n nrolltahlo scheme, as nrices aro advancing without tho shadow of n sign of thern being any falling o(T, KTKKKT IMrlUIVEMKNTH. an elaborate character, ami when mushed will bo air ornament to that portion, ot tlie city. Apian for anew resi dence fur Mr. S.

Mr. Williams is also at work on the plans fur a block of business house t bo erected nt the corner of North First and K streets, by Mr. GcoriM Wcidler, mid has nlso the building of the Cosmo)olitan block on Front street, b-iug isrfcteit iiy Kent A railing, tip superintend. Mr. Williams stated that lie was as i nt work on other plans of which ho did not feel at lib erty to mention, Messrs. U'arku k Upton werj asked if they had any t hjcctou to show wlut work they b.nl on hand, but while admitting that they nan an miner m pi.in iinuer way ami par tially finished, they did not, for obvious rea sons, caro to mention ti.em. This linn of architects prepared the plant for tho depot and hotel building to bo erectoil'liy tho Ore gonial) Itailway Cmpaii'y, liiiiitiilwhicli are to be crcctuil oh Front street and which will cost over 8100,000 to c.inpletc. Mr. Clarke informed tho reporter that there would bo more building thu present year than ever Ui foro In any one year witnessed in , 1'ortla.nl. There was h Iarg4 demand for residences, cood substantial ones, and in this line alonq tlicro would bo an extraordinary number erected this season. Mr. Justin Krumbcln, the architect who planned the State capitol building at Salem, considered the indications favorable for rush of work in tho building line this sraaon. anil no hot! already a number ot, oiueri for buildings, but for whom, he did nor, care to disclose, as the contracts for erection had not been made. Trie most important work on which he is now enitaced. is the new Sea men's Bethel, his plans for the same' being adopted ye.teroay ny we committee having ehargo of tho matter. The new bethel will be erected on the oorner of Ki trh Th'r I and I) streets, the site of trie present bethel, and will be, when finished, a handsome edifice well adapted t the uses for which it is to be designed, it will oe mtea witn a unrary, re ception rooms, chapel room, quarters for both sailors and ship officers and alo apartments for Chaplain Stubbs and family, who has charge of the institution. The building is to be heated by hot air and supplied with all the mode.ru conveniences. Mr. Charles Talbot stated tliat the outlook wat very promising and he had several order for residences. Ha thought thu land owners would sju nuking a good investment by erect ing a numlier of buildiugs for the combined use of both stores and residences and that the demand for such would always be good, Hon. Joseph X. Dolph will thisSpriug erect a residence on his block of land ou JeitVrsou street which, when completed, will bo one of the most elaborate and costly in the city The plans for the residence hare been pre pared by Clearland, the will-known Califor nia architect, and arnow in this city. The building will cost about $30,000 and will con tain every modem improvement. ur. ivIllllQll Lay, auuiuer vamuriu. nii-ui Kupiuir paco with the rapid strides being made, the improvement of tho streets looms up Into considerable importance, and while of lati- yosrs tho amount of work dono has been grat, that contemplated during tho present sejson will bo of groatir macnitudo than of any former year. Tho most important inv pim-cmciit now under contemplation, is tho destruction of a largo sewer from 11 street to tlie river, designed to carry oil" the water of Tsnner creek, and also to drain the entire western portion of tho city. Tho necessity fcr such a sewer becomes more apparent every sason, and tho city charter as amended by tbo last Legislature, and now a law, provides that tho city can bonow SoO.OOO for tho con struction of such a sower, and in all proba bility tho money will be secured for such, pur pose. A largo number of tho streets are alo to Iw extended, graded and niacadainircd, new sidewalks are to bo laid, and on several of tho moro generally traveled thoroughfares, tho proposition of laying stono pavement Is being considered. x nuKru.m:i plan.

A "goncral dollvcry" of tho fivo prisoners now'ln tho county jail at Lafayette was nearly effected on Monday lat, says tho Courltr, and was nve rtcd only by tho timely observa tions of Jailer Dixon. Tins Jail walls aro toiled Inside, and it seems that tho prisoners had succeeded In working somo of tho boards loose, so that thoy could dig at tho brick with some Implement they had gotten hold of, re placing tho lioards to conceal tho work when necessary. Thus thoy quietly ntul industri ously improved oach favorable opportunity until they bad n tood sired aptraturo so nearly through tho wall that tncy could havu com pleted it shortly when tho proper time arrived and that timo was evidently near nt hand. Mr. Dixon "snicllrd a mice" from somo cause, and began an investigation which led to his discovery of tbo schemo and his Initiation of it. It transpires that tho recreants had laid outfiiitoan ingenious plan by which to ail them in their departure.

Upon making a requisition for twenty moro locomotives, jlr.

The Itumrstlr Trouble Hi Urn House or Jlr. Mitchell, or IIIIMxiru. Last Tuesday morning this villsge, says the Hillsboro Imltpaultnl of yesterday, waa all agog with a new sensation, Mr. Geo. aliUttell having locked' his wife out ot doors.

She went to Sheriff Hale and tried to get him to break Into the house, but ha coutda't see it in that light. The situation still remsins nnchangd, and the husband holds the fort. Mrs. Mitch ell hss possession of tho children, and ha sought shelter nt a neighbor's. It seems she susmcted that ho wanted the children, and had taken them with her when sho absented herself from home on several lato occasions. We learn that the achieved husband ha served a notice on the wife that he will apply to the circuit court for a divorce, on the ground of infidelity. Mr. Mitchell is a quiet, inoffensive and industrious nan, and he and Mrs. Mitchell have worked bard for several years and built them up a nice littlo home, and it looks hard to see that home violated and two littlo children disgraced and robbed of their birthright their ritfht to a good name and the undivided care and love of their parents. m THKOICU lOVi;t-To. .VmlgalUu on the ruirColuuililaand Snnko silvers Uesumetl A Sew t're IkM Tariff.
