VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. pa special
dispatch from Ottawa says

CLEANING
THE ALLEYS
ONCE MORE
Some of the Obstacles That
Must be Overcome.
The Journal Makes Another
Plea for the Thorough
Cleaning of the Alleys.

The City Council should do all in its
power to have them put in good sanitary
condition. IL must have some authority
in the premises and should stretch that
II necessary to remove the filth at least
once year.
A city official seen today says: "Al'
though a great deal is being said about
cleaning the streets and alleys of Salem,
apparently no one has considered what
would be necessary for this action
to be taken during the present condition
Of the city. It is questioned whether the
council has authority over the alleys
OF the city. The streets are already
kept almost as clean as the city can
afford,
1.-THE expense Of grading and cleaning
the alleys would be larger than at fret
appears. After an ordidance had passed
or the city otherwise secured authority
to act in the matter, surveyors would
have to be engaged to survey every alley
in the city. This would be necessary on
account Of their never having been sur.
veyed and those who were grading
them would have no definite plan or
grade by which to work. After this,
notice for each alley Of portion of it
would have to be published for several
weeks, and notice served on each idivid.
ual property owner whose property
abutted on the alley in question.
He would have a certain time TO file
objections and the work would be de-
laYsd sev' raj months in order to learn
whether or not objections to the work
would be filed. The grading and filling
OF the alleys would be expensive, and
before any action whether could be
taken in the matter it would be neces-
cary for the city to Issue bonds and
these would have TO be sold.
"On account Of the deficit in the funds
Of the city last year being not met, it is
now in an impoverished condition, and
could the arrangement be made to do
the work, there is probably not another
improvement that would be Of greater
be Of greater benefit to the city at
large"
A session Of the city council was held
Thursday afternoon to consider what
action would have TO be taken to inn
prove the city highways. At the session
Tuesday night a legal opinion will be
submitted recommending that the city
have an official grade for the intersection
Of the alleys fixed, and after serving
proper notice on the abutting property
owners, have the alleys graded and the
expenses must be carried by these prop
erty owners. II they refuse or neglect
to comply with this, the city will order
the work done aud the costs will be a
lien upon the property.

The Flag Lowered

The aag raised by A. Bush at the
bank corner on WashinRton's birthday
was lowered at o'clok Thursday night
after, two days work by several men
had been expended upon il.
The flag is 20xl2 feet in dimension,
and was raised on spole ninety.tive
in height.
Being Of elk bunting and the rain and
wind making it heavier, it required much
strength OF men and ropes to control H..
The flag was raised by the usual
means Of pully. On last Monday
an attempt was made to lower It which
caused all the trouble. The wheel in
the top Of the pole which adjusted the
flag was fastened into a narrow mortise.

brought 10 bear on the cable the tighter
it was wedged into the crevice, and the
exertions Of six men succeeded In fixing
it so tightly in place that for some time
it resisted all efforts at re-
moval. After these attempts
Mr.. Bush secured force Of men under
the direction Of J. l.. Lambirth Of the s.

They spent two days in making a
rigging TO raise the ropes from each eide

Parsons climbed to the top of the staff
once, but the flag could not be lifted by
one man, and the pole would not. sup
port more, it being about four inches in
diameter at the top.
Any one afflicted with nervousness
would end difficult work in lowering the
flag, and those who were at work for
once thought there was no particular
glory in supporting the stars and stripes,
There was great crowls on the streets
during all the time the men we're at

what the work was worth compared to
the value Of the flag, etc. No agreed
price was made I or the work, however.
