MPRQVE CITY PARK
Many Changes Are Made in

Vtmtors to Uie City Park yesterday ex
prtxMil their approval of the changes
that have been niaxln in the quarter for
the animal by Superintendent Miache
and rtis afaistanta. The monkey have
ten transferred ! new building: di
retlv to the aouth of their old cage,
and it fit" has been taken for a tier
rf Improved steel cages with concrete
Iloors.
The roof of the old building has been re
tamed for the new cajrea. Jt is the. in
tenron to cver the south and west side
.f tni building with sliding wooden
sliutier. The east lde or front which
extends along the walk, as formerly, will
.e enclosed with glass during the Win
ter months or in inclement weather.
The lion has been transferrrd to the
rsge at the south end of thi building

vi-w of Irm from all id-s. 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

way out.
An Improved hot water heating ys
tem has just been installed which will
furnish heat for the monkey house and

Festival Workers Will Begin
Campaign Today.
HAVE. 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.

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.

The Lady Who Wanted the Best
YOU often hear the lady of the house remark,
with empbatical pride: "We never. use cheap
meat. We buy nothiug but the best the very
best." That's right, madafue, buy the best
buy it every day; but don't be so foolish as Jo hunt
up a markerman who is going to squeeze the'highest
price -he can out of vou. At any of Smith's markets
you can get a Prime Rib Roast Beef for 10c per pound.
It is cut from Eastern Oregon world-renowned steer
beefnot inferior beef", it is the most delectable food
dish the civilized world knows today. Likewise with
Sirloin Roast Beef; it will cost you only 10c per pound,
has more meat, less bone and what some folks consider
the superior flavor of any part of the beef. And Por
terhouse Steak ! It is the. one meat you can serve for
breakfast, dinner or supper with perfect taste. Let a
delegation of railroad officials dyed-in-the-wool ban
queters drop in on you for dinner and you need no
apology when you set forth Porterhouse Steak. You
can get a perfect little forternouse at, omiiu s iur
121c The large, family size Porterhouse costs 15c, but it
contains an extra size tenderloin. Then come-Sirloin,
Tenderloin and Flatbone Steaks; they're 10c per pound.
Have the meat-cutters give you them as thick as you
lite several inches thick, if you say so so. you may
roast them in the oven. We offer yon Pot Roasts and
where is the family that doesn't like Pot Roasts t for
6c, 7c and 8c. If you like Pork Chops, we can give you
excellent, meatv chops, just a trifle of hone, for l'iVsC
per pound. Rib Pork Chops and Loin Pork Chops, 3-jc
per pound. As tine a roast of Pork as you can ask for
for 10c per pound. Rib Roasts and Loin Roasts of
