OBSERVED
By the Man A bout Town,
The dirt is certainly flying down
around Lyon street, with three excavu
tions in progress, improvements that
will transform that section, when con
summated. The manner in which the. Young
brick is to be placed and rearranged is
interesting. The present front will
face on Lyon street. It will be rebuilt
into two rooms 24 by 70 feet, one to be
occupied by W. M. Parker as a grocery
and bakery, and the other by V. W.
Sehultz' meat market. The present
grocery department of the store will be
made into a store room 30 by 48 feet,
facing on Second street, with the en
trance to the big hall above at the west
end. This hall, without a post is well
built tor a fine lodge rooms, ono of the
largest in the city.
The work of moving the building will
begin as soon as the foundation is ready
for it.
People are having hard work finding
houses for rental, pretty well taken.
An Albany need is certainly more
houses of two and six rooms for rental.
A. H. Sandstrom and a force of s'one
layers are pushing work on the Presby
terian church.
A car load of vitrified brick arrived
today for the street car line, taking the
place of the wood along part of the
way.
There also arrived three cars of rails
for the Oregon Electrics's line in the
city, and a car load of cement.
About sixty men are at work on fifth
street pushing the grading of it for the
ties and rails westward, of the O. E.
Foshay & Mason are makinz a decided
improvemsnt at the store, with a fine
ceiling effect, to be followed by a new
