The advantage of having streets opened
and grade established is shown in the
number of new buildings going up near
Myrtle street, west of Owen. The increased
income from the city from these improve
ments should encourage the city council to
give the citizens the very best roads that
can be afforded.
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon the Lum-
bermen's board of trade will hold their
regular meeting at the Office of the secre-
tary, j. S. Anderson Il Co.'s office, when a
full attendance is expected. The business
will be important, as the lake police will be
appointed, and the board Of trades drive
will be decided upon.
The health officer is meeting great sue
cess in getting the citizens to clean their
premises. He is now notifying those on
Second and Main streets north of Myrtle.
Everything is done Systematically, and as
they know he means business the cleaning
is done. The city shows the effects al
ready. Mr.. Shaw is an efficient officer.
Capt. jerks has just returned from trip
down among the lumbermen on the Missis
sippi, and while away sold a raft of logs
containing 750 900 feet to the Lyons Lum-
Der Co., Lyons, Ia, and another of the
same size to the j. S. Keator d Sons Lum-
Der Co.. Moline, La. He reports the demand
for good logs much better, but the prices
offered leave but little margins for profit.
In about three weeks work will be begun
here that will surprise the citizens, and one
of the largest blocks in the city will be
built Yesterday men were being engaged
to work upon it There may be more than
one built. Large rents are being offered
for well located premises. Business prem
ises are required more than anything else
in the city. although a few good residences
would find first-cIass tenants. There are
few houses to rent and no first-class ones.
The making of the levee dumping
ground is causing much dissatisfaction.
Yesterday four finely-painted steamers had
to tie up among the city offal, as there is no
place to tie to at the levee proper, but at
the south end where the dumping is going
on there are a number Of piles to which
they can tie up. One has made use Of the
boiler of the burnt steamer Penn Wright
The vessel men say that so far they never
had to stop among such filth as they have
encountered at the Saltwater levee. This
is not very creditable report for vessel
men to make and no doubt the deposit Of
any more filth on the levee will be stopped.
