Jjs' doubled In population more
often than any other city in tho
world; for some time every three
years; and even now they predict it
Viil double ugain in Ave years. It
obtained its start from the magnifi
cent water power of St. Anthony
Falls, on the Mississippi. The
power utilized for immense flouring
mills ami many 01 im-ui, uuu uunx
for other industries. Tho largest
Pilhbury mill turns out 10,000 bar
rels of flour a day, and othSOTrora
7 000 down. The soft rock of the river
bed began to wear away, fjn that the
channel was rapidly deepened" ton
point so low as to threaten it$ utility.
So the government unncle.d the
bed, and V
BUILT IN SOLID MASONBY..
Wings are also built across, so us
to raise the water for tho mills on
the higher ground. The falls are
very handsome, but the water is
much discolored by rains, and this
detracts from its beauty. The water
power drives immense pumps on
both sides of the river, and supplies
the city with hydrant water. But
the supply is taken from a point too
near the city to bo wholesome. Lost
winter 80,000 cases of cholera were
reported, in more or less virulent
form, and this was largely attributed
to the drinking water. Many
houses have cisterns for rain water,
or they have wells.
Yonder is u wagon full of demi
johns and stone bottles for delivery
to family residences. But they are
not filled with the liquor that ine
briates, their contents is water from
Inglewood spring. Restaurants ad
vertise "Inglewood spring water
used here." And for $2.60 per
month you can get a filter and have
it supplied with the same water. If
you are a stranger, and prefer a
drink of it, you can purchase a glass
for a cent.
THE SKASON IS BACKWARD.
It rains incessantly, as in Oregon in
winter ; the streets are muddy, and
they don't scrape the crossings. I
have many a time wished I could
fee Mr. Churchill making a crossing
passable. The shade trees are slowly
leaving out ; not a lilac or snowball
in bloom. Gaudy tulips are almost
the only open air flowers to be seen,
except where pansies, geraniums,
fuchsias, heliotropes, etc., have been
set out from green houses. The
florists' windows are radiant with
plants from the same source. Men
are peddling them by tho wagon
load, and many u woman may be
eu going homo with pot plnuts in
hud and bloom.
BUILDING IS QUITIl ACTIVE,
but much more would bo dono were
it not for the rain, which interferes
with foundation digging. They do
not put buildings on the surface of
he ground, as with us. The first
inlng is to excavate for a cellar or
basement, and put in a solid stone
foundation. In the basement they

Improve the Walks, Etc
In a great many places about the
city, the sidewalks are in very bad
condition, and should he ropaired at
once. In some places great holes
are in tho walks, which are liable to
cost the city a damage suit at any
time, unless repaired. The
shade trees in many places hang too
low, also, over the walks, and should
be trimmed. There are lots of other
improvements necessary. Notwith
standing instructions from the
council for their removal, those
"highly ornamental" tanks at Will
son's avenue still remain there as
"embellishments" to that piece of
public property, along with the
beautiful fence that needs painting
so badly. There are several other
things that could bo done to greatly
beautify and improvo tho city. A
good work is being dono on tho
streets by Supervisor Thompson,
and the good work of improvement
should be extended to the walks,
