The properly owners along either
side of Fourth Street, in East Olym-
pia, are suffering untold miseries en-
account of the almoat impossible
condition of their sidewalks since
the hill was graded to fill in the
bridge. Had an earthquake desola-
tod that portion Of our town, the
general aspect Of the street, the side
walks and front fences would not be
much worse than it now is. People
can rebuild their sidewalks and re-
pair their fences, but they would
like to have our city authorities tell
them just when and what the end
will be. 1t seems hardly fair that
people vino possessed beautiful
homes six months ago, should have
them SO desolated that, to repair the
damage will cost as much as they
originally paid for their property.
The fire boys have the new Silsby
steamer in trim for a trial to.mor-

rotaries worked satisfactorily TO the
