several words are mis-spelled. The

reported that new drain with branch
CO was required for Forty-foprth street

The construction Of new box drain on
Forty-fourth from the creek bottom on

east line OF block 7 to the main box.and
two small drains, one at the intersec-a
tion Of the street with the alieyway,
and one at the south intersection OF
Bond and Forty-fourth streets. II was
also recommended that the outlet be
cleaned up.
The city surveyor in the report drew
the attention Of the council to the I'M
sanitary condition OF the aileyway rum
ming through block 80 Of Adair's, where
COW barn existed.
The report was referred to the street
committee.

BENEFIcIENT RAIN.


The continued wet weather in the Til
limook and Nehalem districts has not
been without its Compensation. The
meadows are growing excellently and
the prospects for much more than ay
erage hay crop are most flattering. The
cheese business is still expanding. many
settlers are moving in and lands adapt
ed for dairy purposes are rising in
value. A number OF cheese factories
have commenced operations this sea-
son and II is said. by those engaged in
the business that the reputation Of the
Tinamook product has created de-
mand that is difficult to supply.
