street, the Sidewalk on the north
side Of the building has been giving
way until now, only about five feet
of the old level is rem inning between
the brink and the foundation of the

thing when it is remembered that the
street at til, point is about twelve
feet below.

Again, the frost is making fearful
inroads upon the heavily graded
front yards Of our East Olympia
ncighbors. While the late improve
msnt of Fourth street may eventu-
ally prove good thing for the town,
such an ultimate advantage will have
been purchased at ruinous costs to
property owners on the East side.
Many who bsautified their premises
last Fall will have their work to do
over again at twice or thrice the ex-
pense already incurred.
A ride to Tumwater during the
past week and saunter about the
clearly kept streets of that little
borough, clearly evidences that the
old.lime life aud enterprise of its
people remain still intact. The sew.
eral factories are actively engaged,
giving the town the air of an eastern
industrial metropolis. 1t is SIN
cerely hoped that an carly effort will
be made TO rebuild the lower bridge,
aud thus remove the obstruction
now SO seriously hinderiug to the
prosperity OF the town.
There will lie need of O good deal
OF street work as soon as the ground
is in proper condition for using
the pick. tho shovel and scraper.
Tho torrents OF water caused by the
late rains and the melting of snow
have played havoc with many Of
our newly constructed crossings and
cutters. Many embankments thrown
up at good deal of expense, last
Fall, have been either entirely
washed away or seriously injured.
1t is likely that the street force will
be early set to work.
Slowly Tut steadily, tho work of
our hsrbor survey is going ahead
under tho supervision Of Lieut.. Van
Geldern. The weather has been
against him ever since his arrival
here with his men. A good degree
OF progress. however, has already
been attained and We await With
much interest the final report of the
survey. Olympians have long waited
for an adequate appropriation from
the general government for the per-
manent improvement of their bar
Dor and there is now possibly some
hope that the good time is coming.
