FOR tue floneer anC democrat,
Ma. EDIroR: Not having visited Olym'
pla for several months, was agreeably
surprised to note its rapid improvement
thought l had kept myself well posted up
on the various improvements of the day,
through the columns of1your paper; but
find your description Of the improvements
that arc..rapidly progressing about you fall
short Of the mark.
To my way Of thinking, one of the most
valuable and worthy improvements "about
town is the plank side walk from the libra
ry to the Masonic Hall, giving the prone
nade-loying people of Olympia fine walk
at all seasons Of the year, when the mud is
not more than knee deep in most places
below the Hall. The citizens of Olympia
and vicinity, have reason to be proud Of
the improvement which their generous lib
erality has caused to be constructed. =
