Read carefully the reasons that are given here by the East Side Business Men's Club. You naturally want to vote for the best men in the race. It is just the same as if you were starting out shop
pingyou would expect to buy where you could get the best quality at the lowest price. How many voters consider the low expenses of the East Side merchants and the saving in dollars to those
that patronise them? It is a fact that if the East Side voters would trade on the East Side they would pay themselves more money in the course of a year than any 5 officers could save on their tax
roll, and at the same time they would be helping in building up the East Side. The East Side Business Men's Club therefore recommends to the voters that they trade on the East Side. Look at the
genuine bargains advertised below for Wednesday only, by the various East Side merchants. ' . .

DANGER
GRADES
Railroad Crossing Problem
Comes Up Today.
CHANGE IS CONSIDERED
Intension of Elsht j-Second and Hal
Railway Depend on Elim
ination of Present Hazard
ous Infrnietflon.
Elimination of the crade rrossln at
Et Jlxty-rnth and lUley atrtets
atxl the conetruction of the Kast
KIchty-econl and Halsey railway
from E-t Thlrty-eventl atrert, will
be considered today at the meeting of
the director of the Halsey-Kast
Kllthtjr-aecond-Street Improvement As
sociation. R. A- Delano, Jin. Elizabeth
Fpracue BoKae and B. I- Melvln are
the director of the aaeoclatlon.
Kfforta will be mad to hurrv up the
building of thin extension. It will con
nect with the Rose City Park line on
Handy boulevard and will follow
l!.iey atreet and the Barr road to
I.art Klshty-aecond etreet. near the
Portland end of the Mount Hood
Railway. Conalderable money has
been subscribed and paid In. but there
is no prospect that the track will be
built until the aradt crossing: at East
Flrty-seventh and iljl.ey streets is
eliminated.
The street railway company will not
build across th. mat line of the O.-W.
R & N. at this polt unless the trade
Is changed so that .ie streetcar track
may pass under 1 1 railroad. The
crossing is constdet 1 too dangerous.
B. K. ilelvln. secret; ry of the associa
tion, said yesterday:
Rm4 Wasted t tier Railway.
"Our bands are tlel in aettlnir this
street railway extension, or any per
manent Improvement i t streets, unless
we can do away with .the grade cross
ings. This Is specially true at Halsey
and East Sixty-seventh, where our pro
posed line will cross when built. The
railway here is above grade, and the
street and street railway may be built
under the O.-W. R. N. railroad by
lowerina the a-radr. The streetcar com.
nanr will not build unless this Is done.
The extension will end at East Eighty
second street, where there Is another
dangerous crossing of the county r
and the O.-W. R. N . The travel ai
this crossing on the county road is
heavy. The O.-W. R. tracK can
not be seen In either direction out
side the road, and any one who drives
over there In a horse or motor vehicle
Is In great danger. We shall try to
get all the grade crossings aone away
wlth."
Rlsfcty-Secaa Creaalaa; Daaa-erraa.
This grade crossing at East Eighty-
second and Halsey street Is one of
great danger and a constant menace to
the, public." said O. 1 Webb, who lives
near there. "I pass this crossing
frequently In my automobile, but 1
always stop before starting across. I
see that my automobile Is working. It
mlKht stop on the track."
The East Side Business Men's Club
has a committee in connection with
the Greater East Side Club to do away
with grade crossings on East Morri
son street and Hawthorne avenue,
where the mail? lines of the Southern
pacific cross both streets. O. B. Datson
is chairman, and be reports having
held several conferences with the offi
cials of the Southern Pacific Hallway
over the question of doing away with
srrade crossings on these two streets.
Mr. natson reported that the railway
officials are favorably disposed to a
change of some sort and are working
out a plan. One plan suggested Is to
build a roadway above all the tracks
and raise both streets, above the pres
ent elevation. There Is more delay to
streetcars and trafflo from passing
trains than by opening bridge draws.
Use Completed Jsly 1.
Construction Is progressing on the
extension of the Hawthorne-avenue
railway from IHvlston and East Six
tieth streets to East Seventy-fourth
street. The track will be laid on Divi
sion one block to East Sixty-first, and
then south to Twenty-ninth avenue to
East Seventy-fourth street.
The line probably will be finished by
July 1. and put Into operation soon
thereafter. It Is considered assured
that eventually the track will be ex
tended to a connection with the Mount
Hood Railway, which at present ends
at Northeast Montavilla and which can
not come into the city over the narrow
gauge track of the Montavilla carllne.
The Hawthorne-avenue track Is of
the same gauge as the Mount Hood.
The Mount Hood Railway Is rapidly
being electrified, the change having
reached Cottrell on the way to Bull
Run. The nearest connecting route Is
between the proposed end of the Hawthorne-avenue
extension and Russell
vllle. where the Mount Hood Railway
posses near the schoolhouse. Another
route is by way of Kelly Butte.
COLUMBIA SLOUGH REPOTVT OUT
Woodlawn Improvement Association
President Makes Soundings.
George S. Shepherd, president of the
Woodlawn Improvement Association,
completed his Investigation of Colum
bia Slough Sunday, between St. Johns
and the Wllllamette River. On bis two
former trips Mr. Shepherd made sound
ings of the depth of the channel and
examined the current up to within
about a. mile and a half of the Willam
ette River, and that latter part was
gone over on hla last trip, which fin
ished the examination between the in
take at the Columbia to the mouth at
the Willamette River.
Mr. Shepherd reported that he found
the mouth of the slough wide, the
water deep and a, good current there.
He made a full report of the condi
tion of Columbia Slough at a meeting
of the St. Johns Commercial Club Mon
day night. This club is much interested
in the dredging or Columbia Hiougn in
order to make It a waterway.
Mr. Shepherd thinks from his exami
nation that the drift may be cleared
from the slough at small expense, and
that by driving a few piles at the In
take all further accumulation of drift
at any part of the slough in future may
be prevented from coming In from the
Columbia River. After the drift is
pulled out and the Intake deepened
Mr. Shepherd thinks that the slough
may be used for sewerage with per
fect safety as the current will carry
It into the Willamette River.
TRACTION MEN TO HEAR CASE
Through-Service Petitions Yet May
Bear Fruit.
The Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company will consider the petitions
submitted from Interested residents by
committees from the Broadway and
East Twenty-eighth Street Improve
ment Clubs Monday to place through
service on East Twenty-eighth street.
Judge Gatens, of the Broadway Neigh
borhood Club, submitted the petitions
for this through service.
The request for the through service
encountered opposition for th. Laurel-
hurst people on account of the crowded
condition of Montavilla and other
cars. However, the officials of the
street railway company agreed to take
the matter under advisement and check
up the business handled by the present
stub car run between Halsey and East
Gllsan streets, and report to the com
mittee at another meeting. Mr. Gatens
said that he believed that a favorable
answer will be secured.

East Water Street to Bo Paved.
Preparations are being made to pave
East Water street between East Mor
rison and East Oak streets with stone
blocks the same as the rest of the
streets south. All water pipes and
other utilities are being placed under
ground preparatory for the paving.
The sidewalks will be narrow in order
to make a wider roadway for general
purposes. Efforts were made to widen
East Water street to 80 feet, but it
felled and hence the roadway has been
widened by sacrificing portions of
the sidewalks.

TOLEDO ROUTE IS FAVORED
Commissioner Says It Will Give
Lewis County Six Miles Less,
CENTRALIA, Wash., May 27. (Spe
cial.) At the noon luncheon' of the
Centralla Commercial Club yesterday
County Commissioner E. E. Teachnor
stated that he favored the route
through Toledo for the Pacific High
way In preference to that through Win
lock,, although he said he realized the
people of Winlock, who have raised
$1600 for the improvement of the Wln-lock-Evellne
road, would be sorely dis
appointed. If the Toledo route is established it
will give Lewis County six miles less
of road to take care of. The Toledo
road connects with State Aid road No.
5 at Jackson Prairie and coincides with
it for a distance of 11 miles.

Count Shows Xumber of Bushes in
Park 30O0 Less Than Adminis
tration Reported.
After an investigation of the meth
ods of purchasing rose bushes for the
various parks by the city, E. H. Ing
ham has prepared a statement in which
he declares that Mayor Rushlight was
mistaken recently when he declared
that the proper prices were paid.
"I hare gone into the proposition in
detail," said Mr. Ingham yesterday,
"and have found that a great deal more
was paid for the bushes than should
have been. I have gone so far as to
make a count of the bushes planted in
Pennlnsula Park and have found that
there are at least 3000 fewer than the
park officials and Mayor Rushlight say
there are.
"As a matter of fact the bushes were
bought on the open market at retail
prices. I have found from the records
of the park department that the city
paid 15 cents each for the bushes. They
could have been purchased for JZ cents
a piece. I get this information not only
from what I know of the floral busi
ness, but also from quotations made
by florists who have the bushes for
sale.
"I and four other men went to Penin
sula Park and made a count of the rose
bushes planted there. It had been de-.
clared that there were 14,000 bushes
scattered about the park. We found
that there are no more than 11,000. 1
do not know the whereabouts of the
3000 bushes which the administration
says are in the park. They are not
where they say they are, that is sure."
AUTO BARELYMISSES TWO
Car Conductor Saves Woman and Tot
From 'Speeding Machine.
Rough handling by a streetcar con
ductor was all that saved an unidenti
fied woman and child from being run
down when an automobile, in which
two men were riding, speeded past the
car at Mllwaukie and Frankfort streets
yesterday just as the woman wa
alighting. Seeing that the automobile
would not stop as required by ordi
nance, the car man jerked the woman
back to the car and-the automobile
passed by with no space to spare.
The number of the automobile, ss
caught by the car crew, was 1715, which,
is registered as the property of the
Kibbe-Welton Company, with offices
in the Selling building.
