Like an avalanche the spring clean
up movement started by the Improve
ment league is coming down over the
city. Success lies in the start that is
made and everything points to a gen
eral assault on the works of untidi
ness and sloth. The message is to be
sent to everyone and no loyal Minne
apolitan will shirk his task to make
the city clean, beautiful and generally
attractive.
The movement is widespreadit
works in every direction. The repaving
of the asphalt streets down town is a
part of itone of the most important
parts.
With newly paved streets, the work
of keeping them clean is a compara
tively easy task and there_is nothing
neater or prettier streets than a
newly asphalted thorofare.
The scores and hundreds of electric
ancl c&s lxglxts now being installed, on
the downtown streois is part- of ihe
same movement. By night the city will
dazzle with the gleam of myriad lights
and shine with a reflection reaching to
the clouds.
On Lower Nicollet.
Another manifestation of the move
ment is the driving of employment
agents off Nicollet avenue, thus banish
ing from a great avenue the large
crowds of men which frequent these
places.
They are all worthy men, of course,
but such crowds on the sidewalks
block traffic and give visitors the im
pression that there are njany idle men
the city This is not the case, but
as all the employment agents have their
headquarters in the vicinity of Bridge
Square, men looking for employment
congregate in that section of the city.
There is no intention of driving the
employment offices out of business, but
it is believed they can do fully as well
in localities where they will not in
terfere so much with the regular traf
fic, nor be so conspicuous.
The Cleaning Program.
The greatest work of all, however, is
to clean the streets and alleys and
yards. The aldermen thru their commis
sioners are already engaged on the
streets and will take charge of that
portion of the work as far as the ward
funds will permit. The health depart
ment is looking after the alleys for the
detection of nuisanceB or unsanitary
conditions.
There is a great deal of rubbish
the alleys, however, which, tho un
sightly, is not unsanitary, and does not
concern the health department officials.
This rubbish, consisting of ashes and
all manner of stuff thrown out from
the dwelling houses, should have been
cared for in other ways. Some of the
aldermen have already directed their
street commissioners to clean out the
alleys, and others will do so if properly
urged.
The Women's Work.
Then the back yards need attention.
It will be the duty of the women ol
the Improvement league to stimulate an
interest in the big houseeleaning. "Tne
undertaking is an immense one, for it
is not only necessary to clean up now,
'but to continue the work all thru the
summer.
After all the grime, dirt and rubbish
has been cleared away, will come a
united effort to beautify the citylo
lay out lawns, flowerbeds and shrubs,
to screen unsightly places in various
ways to encour,ajje owners and agents
to give some jpgard to vacant lots
at least to keep down the weeds.
Billboaids jind offensive signs need
attention, scf&qi^ grounds can be beau
tified and $wy children can undoubt
edly be encouraged to engage in the
work. Theodore Wirth, superintendent
of parks, says the school grounds can
be made very attractive by the use of
^shrubbery. Mjost of them all th
tiees needed"/ but1
still arhavsomewhae
bare because,^ the lack of shrubs.
Work for Children.
The children ca nset out the shrubs,
and would enjoy the work. It should,
however, be conducted under the di
rection of the principals and teachers
who doubtless would take as much in
terest it as the pupils.
Tho surroundings of the railway sta
tions and the^ conditions of the stations,
themselves h^e often been the subiect
of criticism. |?The women of the league
are aware of this and expect to secure,
the co-operation of the railway and
depdt officials.
To carry on the work on an exten
sive scale, the Improvement league, has
invited a -number of representative
Tnomen in the different wards to. tak$
charge of the movement in thefif "re-
spective wards. The committee will
be a permanent one fox the summer
and its duty will be not only to have
the city thoroly cleaned, but kept clean
and beautified by every possible means.
Five women will represent each ward
on this committee, which holds its first
session next Tuesday afternoon in the
mayor's reception room at the city
hall. At this meeting the plans of the
Improvement league will be fully out
lined and several speakers will ad
dress the gathering on the various
phases of the movement.
Directing the Work.
The undertaking is particularly un
der the direction of the civic com
mittee consisting of Mrs. J. A'. Crosby,
chairman, Mrs. O. K. Eichardson, sec
retary, Mmes. Asa S. Wilcox, H. F.
Newhall and Emma Beard and Miss
Gratia Countryman.
Hearty co-operation has already
been assured by the numerous improve
ment associations scattered about the
city, among which may be named the
following: Portland avenue, Lowry
hill, Camden place, Minnehaha, Ken
wood, Oak Park, Shadyside, Sunnyside,
Lake Calhoun, Linden hills, Park ave
nue, Eighth ward, Lake of the Isles,
Hawthorn, Oak TJark, Prospect park,
Eighth ward, Seventh ward and others.
The movement falls particularly within
the field of these neighborhood asso
ciations, and their power, for good is al
most unlimited, while so-called per
manent improvements are desirable, it
ia apparent that the neat and# attract
ive appearance of a locality will tempt
as many people as would some other
features that would cost a great deal
more.
,Plan of the Work.
The manner in which the Improva
ment league has divided the work will
appear in the following:

they have fully as much pride in their
homes and home surroundings as oth
ers. It is in the First ward that the
Gerber baths are locatedwhich will
be enjoyed this summer not only by
the children of the First ward, but of
all parts of the city. The island will
be increased in size from half an acre
to five acres and will be made into a
beauty spot. The park board will es
tablish a children's playground at Lo
gan park, which, tho not in the First
ward, will be largely patronized from
that division. $-
Every assurance is given that the
committee will not be backward in sup
porting the general movement. There
are some unpleasant looking places,
such as the abandoned stone quarries,
and these will be given considerable a$
tention.

Second ward has been suggested, but
the committee is composed of intelli
gent and resourceful women, who can
be trusted to see that interest is kept
awake. In a general way that part of
the city is in fair condition all the time.
In it are located the university campus
and Van Cleve park, two of the most
charming spots in the city. The new
Richard Chute park between the East
high school and the International audi
torium, will greatly enhance the ap
pearance of that neighborhood. The
creation of the park caused the removal
of a number or old and unsightly
buildings and will induce the owners
of surrounding property to spruce up.
The East Side Commercial club will
look after the appearance of the busi
ness streets, particularly Central ave
nue, the mam highway of the East
Side, which is a much prettier and
neater street than a year ago.

As the -wealthiest ward in the city
and"*one of the- largest, the Fourth ward
is expected to do much. As a matter
of fact, much has already been ac
complished. Every street and alley has
been cleaned under the direction of
Eobert MeMullen, the street commis
sioner^ and he says they Will,""fee kept
clean ^as long as the ward Worfels under"

This ward is largely tlje home of
working people, but experience has
shown that they readily respond to all
appeals calling fornan expression of civ*
ic pride. The ward is the smallest in
the city, containing less than one square
mile but on the other hand is the jmost
thickly settled by a large margin.' It
is in an older portion of tne city mid
contains many old buildings which could
be tidied up considerably. The busi
ness center of the ward is at Seven
Corners, and while it is not imposing
in appearance it will be noticed that
the locality is much tidier this year
than in the past,, and the work of beau
tifying will go on apace.

in different lines than many of the
others. The lower end is thickly Set
tled, largely^ by working people, but
the outer end is as yet given up large
ly to dairy and truck farms. In the
main the streets present neat appear
ance and the ward is liberally provided
with stone sidewalks and curbing. In
the neighborhood of Twenty*seventb
street and Tenth hvenue there is a de
pression, formerly known as Shipley's
lake, which has been a commoh dump
ing ground for many years, and which
at the present -tfrhe is none too attrac
tive. The street commissioner, Mr.
Hansen, is watching the place closely
this year, and will discourage the
dumping practice. There is a local
Commercial club on Lake street, which
will eagerly seeond the movements of

The eighth is one of the biggest and
most domestic wards in the city and the
task confronting the "clean-up'*" com
mittee is a large one territorially con
sidered. However, the fact that Vlarge
proportion of eighth warders ow#their
own homes .will promote a spiritual cor
dial eoVoperaiadn and various dis^iet of
the ward have^improvement associa
tions, where the^wor of beautifying
has already rnadeV goor progress. As
laul out, the work of the new commit
tee will be devoted to ascertaining all
the places in need Of cleaning up or

The tenth is one of the large wards
of the city, but like the other outlying
seNctions^ is still sparsely settled, altho
growing rapidly population. Lumber
yards and wood yards are numerous
along the river front, and upper Wash
ington avenue has an unfinished and
somewhat neglected appearance. There
is an active improvement association
at Camden place, which has secured
several improvements. Its cherished
desire of making a park of the Shingle
creek valley was defeated last year.
The failure was greatly deplored, but
that section of the city is not entirely
'deprived of the benefits of a park, as
the grounds of the pumping station are
as well kept as any park in the city.

"to Columbia Heights and the reservoir.
Central avenue is the main highway of
the East Side and is in a most satis
factory condition. The aldermen are
greatly interested in the work of the
improvement league an will gladly
alop suggestions. There are numer
ous waste places which could be made
less unsightly.
There are three fine parks in the
wardLogan, Moulton and Columbia
parkthe latter ^ust north of Sandy
lake. A fourth park is to be estab
lished in the former swamp, known as
Long John's pond.
It is not understood that any special
work is required in New Boston, but a
painstaking inspection will be made
and any conditions which call for criti
cism will be remedied.

BoundariesMississippi river,
Seventh street, Tenth avenue S
and Twenty-fourth street.
The ward is compactly built, rank
ing with the Fifth and Sixth as the
most thickly settled wards in the city.
It is well watered and sewered, but is
somewhat shy on paving. The alder
men have consented to co-operate with
the Improvement league in cleaning
streets and alleys, and the street com
missioner of the waTd will take up this
Work with vigor this week. A large
share of the residents own their own
homes and as a general thing the prem
ises are neatly kept. There remains
something to be desired in the appear
ance of Some alleys, but this will be at
tended to.
Much attention has been in
recent years to treeJ
planting,given and se
curing curbing -fahich tends to give a
street a trim and neat appearance.
The ward will be represented at the
big meeting next Tuesday afternoon and
will not fail to report as good progress
as any.

Surpassed only by the Thirteenth
ward in area, the ward exhibits two
vastly different sectionsa compactly
Tjuilt section peopled largely by work
ing folk and the sparsely built settle
ment at Minnehaha Falls. The latter
neighborhood has had its improvement^
associations for many years and it has
done much valuable work. "Minnehahi.
avenue is being built up with a fin
class of houses and will probably be
come in time what_ it was intended to^
bea handsome driveway* to the falls.,
As one of the new and rapidly grow
ing wards, the Twelfth is somewhat
lacking in many of the improvements to
be found in the older sections of the
city, and this is a handicap in beautifv
ing certain sections. Considerable at
tention is paid to the lawns by some,
while others neglect them, and an ^at-
tempt will be made toward more con
certed effort.

With an area of 8.86 square miles,
this ward is by far the largest in the
city, but it is also so thinly settled
that it is the least in population. Much
of the ward remains in its pristine form
as fashioned by nature". Most of the
residents are more than ordinarily well
to-do, and have the means to keep up
their premises as they should do, once
the movement is started. J^A.
