Superintend ent Misohe is endeavoring to secure a mate for Nero and if such can be se cured the lionesa will be assigned to the cage adjoining on the north. The new nuartera are larger and airier and much more sanitary than the old ones. New quarter wore imperative, a the lion had succeeded in making" a hole In the floor and eventually -would have worked his way out. An Improved hot water heating ys tem has just been installed which will furnish heat for the monkey house and aviaries.

In addition to the' change In th Zoo. Superintendent Mische ha num erous plans for Improvement of the, landscape feature of the park. The ..!. uf the hill back of the rark 1 to be coveted with Scotch broom and the ravine leading up from the Wash ington street entrance is to be filled with ferns, laurel and native trees. The. park gardeners are now engaged in taking up the more delicate plants for transfer to the greenhouses in Colum bia Park.

I-ee Paget spoke on "The Great est Need of the Country School." Among other things. Mr. Paget urged that teachers be better paid than they are at present, and that the course of study pertain, directly to the practi cal concerns of life which will enable the pupils to' find out how to make a good living. Mr. Paget said also that at the coming session of the Legisla te a bill would be Introduced provid ing for a deputy county school super intendent, whose duty will be to In troduce agricultural studies Into the country school.

NUCLEUS OF $20,000 Prominent Business Men Will Canvass City and Are Confi dent of Raising a Least $75,000 for Rose Show. Today means a general girding up of Uio loins of the Rose Festlval( pro moter. Their reai earnest work in raising a fund to give a show of vaster beauty, greater attractions and more commanding Interest than any that ha preceded, begins. The financial cam paign will be conducted by volunteer who represent every trade. industry, business and profession. With a nest egg of 123.000. two-third of the aggre gate amount subscribed' last year, the workers go into the field confident of garnering fully $75,000 before they lay down their task. The general feeling of confidence which ha followed the satisfactory outcome of the presiden tial election has already been reflected in the generous and free-handed con tributions sent In to headquarter of the organization. The ways and means committee which will have cnarge of the gather ing In of the fund is headed by A. I Mills, president of the First National Bank. Associated with him are a co terie of the strongest business men in the city all of whom are thoroughly imbued with the idea that no civic demonstration ever devised is of as much value in making Portland known the country and world over as is this spectacular form of entertainment. Will Again Take Part. A large majority of the canvassing committee which offered their service In the financial quest last year ha ex pressed willingness to participate again this year. Such as. for one rea son or another cannot get out and hus tle for money, will be replaced by other volunteer of which there bids fair to be a goodlj" numhrr. The spirit with which many of those Interested in the success of this great undertaking have come to the front, readv to do their share, has been mOBt gratifying to President Ralph W. Hoyt who has directed an appeal to the pub lic to consider what the Festival means for Portland, and then to give accord ingly. While we do not expect that all who helped out so munificently last year will jouble their pledges this time," said President Hoyt. yesterday, "it Is a noteworthy fact that most of those who have already sent in their cash subscriptions or pledges have added 100 per cent to what they gave for the show of last June. I should like to urge, upon the public In general to consider seriously just what a grand, good thing a celebration of this kind is for our city. High Praise for Portland. "Perhaps many of us have forgotten how much good came to us out of the 190S Festival, but our Association is being constantly reminded by letters of inquiry from all parts of the land that Portland Is taking rank with New Orleans, Los Angeles and other cities which make such celebrations a reg ular annual feature of their municipal life. The only difference, so far as I have been able to observe is that Port land can do with half the money what these other cities do. New Orleans raises each year not tinder J250.000 for Its Mardt Gra festival, and I have letters from that city which frankly admit that it is a paying Investment in every sense of the word. "Therefore, when the Rose Festival committees call on you. I trust you will take these things into considera tion. It should not be forgotten that here are scores. of business men in Portland whose time is very valuable who have promised to act as canvas sers for this cause. In the campaign which we inaugurate in earnest to morrow, you will be visited by men who are engaged in the' same line of business that you are. They will ' be men who out of pure public-spirlted-ness are giving their time to this work. Thlr.k of this when you are asked to give." Rules and conditions of the poster contest which will be started in the ne"r future will be announced within a few days. The designs accepted will reach every community in the country. And this is only one of the many ex ploitation features planned by the Fes tival management. Portland Day at Albany Apple Fair. Next Tuesday. November 10. is Port land Day at the Albany Apple Fair.

CLUBS WANT CITY WATER DISTRICT JTJST AXXEXED IS AFTER IMPROVEMENTS. Woodmere, Mount Scott, Woodstock and South Monnt Tabor Out line Active Campaign. In the newly annexed territory in the Mount Scott district. . four push clubs, the Woodmere, Mount Scott, Woodstock and South Mount Tabor, are preparing to unite their efforts for the upbuilding of that portion of the city. Friday night the Woodmere Push Club celebrated the victory for annexation with a largely attended meeting, closing with a ban quet, when an outline of the corning Winter's work was considered. Tonight the Mount Scott Improvement Club will meet in the Laurelwood Hall, and the Woodstock and South Mount Tabor Clubs will hold meetings at an early date. - All the organisation were active for annexation, - but their members realize that their real work has just begun. Committees will be appointed 'from all these clubs to work together in securing for the district the benefits for which the district came into the city chiefly a water supply. Effort will be made to secure water before next Summer. It is considered almost certain that the Supreme Court will sustain the legality of the election, and the friends of an nexation express the hope that those who have opposed annexation will now bow to the will of the majority and all pull together. It is urged that further court proceedings can only cause more expense and result in prolonging ' the water famine another year. It has been figured out that one mile of 34-Inch main will bring water frpm the Mount Tabor reservoir to the Foster road, where connection with the present large main of the Woodmere Water Company would relieve present needs. Such a main would also be a permanent part of the water system for that entire district. This water main is included In .he Im provements which these clubs will un dertake to secure. Change in Potter's Schedule. Effective at once The O. R. &. N. steamer T. J. Potter will leave Port land for Astoria every night except Saturday at 8:00 o'clock. The change is that the steamer will leave Sunday night-instead of Saturday night. v - .
