These Improvements nre quite oxtonslvo nud moan tho expenditure of not less than 1 40,000 hore, Tho freight depot has long boon in ndequuto for the rapidly growing needs of aalein, and It Is so nrrunged nB to permit tho handling of tho toast nmount of frolght In the longest time with tho grentcst nmount of labor. All this Is to be changed. Tho com pany has bought the ground to tho west of tho depot running clour through to Front street nnd tho new depot will cover all of It. The east end of tho bulldln? will bo nbout 40 foot from Coinmorclal streot and will oxtoud atom? Trndo to Front.

Tho trnck up Front streot will bo cleaned up uud rcpalrod, clear out to tho old mill property, which wilt provo n great convenience to tho gnu works In getting Its supplies. Tho greatest Improvement, how ever, will be the filling and grading of Trade street. This Is fully decided upon by the company, which will put on a gravel train and begin the work ns soon ns tho detulls nre ngreed upon between tuo olty council and the com pany. This Improvement nlono will cost piobably 120.000. as tho street will be filled and graded from Com mercial to Wlntor, nnd tho fill Is a deop one. When the fill Is comploted the track will be moved to tho south side of the streot, or swltchos put In, giv ing the best of service to tho Capital mills, tho Sienna paint factory. Till son's prune packing establishment, II. S. Glle & Co., the Fruit Union, the water company and the blgiullls west of Commercial. A sldo truck will be put In to the Salem Rrowery Associa tion and others, as occasion may re quire. Trade street is alroady tho manu facturing and wholesaling street, and with the conveniences furnished by the railroad and the water power ad jacent Its lead will always be main tained. The track to tho asylum which has has been under construction for some time was completed yesterday, and will prove a great saving to the state In receiving Its supplies and material for building, etc. It Is understood iho company Is to fill Trade street Its ontlro width, and when this Is done, which will bo be fore the year closes, it will be a broad, handsome business street, and property owners will soon find that tue values of their holdings have been doubled and trebled.
