President Kellaher, In reviewing the work of the year, said: We did some work on the Public Service Commission movement, which seems now to be love's labors lost.' but out of It good may come, since the referendum will decide. "Out of the agitation for better mall service In the K- t Side business dis trict, wa are now getting four deliv eries a day Instead of two and three, and the Ehaata Limited mall now la worked on the train and thrown off at East Morrison-street station and de. 11 re red to the business houses the same afternoon. "The project for a theater on the East Side Is still under consideration, but so far has failed, for the reason that the persons Interested lacked funds to handle the enterprise. "As to the East Side freight depot. letter from Mr. O'Brien, under date of January . 112. says that they are taking the subject up with the ne presidents, Farrel and Sproule. and hope to give ua an early, definite statement. Our docks tonnage statistics gathered for the East Side show over 1.000.000 tons of rail freight handled In the Kast Side districts, and new trunk lines will soon come Into this district and care for our shippers properly, should wo not be able to get a square deal from the Harrlman lines. They may be aroused from their slumbers yet. "Our 1(11 Rose Festival military and children a paradea are history, and were bigger and better than ever, and such features should be continued as Important advertisers for the East Side. "Our public docks agitation for the East Side, with the splendid showing made by the bast Side shippers, with the tonnage data presented to the pub lic dock experts here recently, has re sulted In Chairman Mulkey. of the Pub. llo Docks Commission, recommending one public dock for the East Side and one for the West Ride. In the central districts, as a starter. Bridge Ft art fVlaalag. "Agitation on closing of the draw. bridges brought good results, giving the greatest good to the greatest tun bers. but recent developments In the delays show a seemingly designed dis regard of the rights of the people, and the best cure would undoubtedly be to require hinged stacks for the smaller tugs and steamers, which we hope to help work out in the near future. "The Zlegler amendment, which wa fathered, making city realty Inallan able within 1004 feet of the water front, will forever protect the city waterfront and make It possible for Portland to become the great maritime port which nature destined It to be. "We helped In the agitation for the successful voting of new public audi torium bonds and started the move ment to locate It on the East Side. In the center of the dense population, and hope to win out on It, to give equal op portunlty to all. with special privileges to none. In Its enjoyment. "We Indorsed and helped In the agl tatlon for the municipal garbage col lection bonds, which successfully passed, but the city authorities so far seem to have cold feet' on the In stallation. "We opposed the no-seat, no-fare ordinance.' which lost because of Its Impracticability at this time, owing to the city's rapid growth. "We have accomplished much good In the additional parks and play grounds movement, and by keeping after It, when the new bond Issues fof this work are made, we win get our share of these much-needed Im provements to better the quality of oar cttlsenshlp. Alaska Trade Helped. "We Indorsed the movement for Gov ern men t mining of Alaska coal, so ably started by Governor West, and hope for Its ultimate establishment, which will mean much to all of ua on the Pa cific Coast, and particularly to Port land, with the new steamship line to Alaska direct now being worked out. "In the public market movement we gathered data from Eastern cities, gave data on East Side sites, and It Is now up to the Council committee. This Council committee was for a time en livened with "pernicious activity, coupled with "megalomania on this pub lic market question, which gave us a sort of venl rldl vlcl feeling, but since receiving the data, and an opinion from City Attorney Grant that it haa ample power to appropriate funds for public markets. It seems to have had a change of heart and Is now afflicted with In nocuous desuetude. "Our committee on club building Is working, but haa nothing definite to report as yet. "The Elks' Carnival parade will pass over Grand avenue, resultant from our committee's work, and the drill con tests will take place on this wide thoroughfare." President Kellaher also pointed to the club's Indorsement of good roads and Its participation In the dedication of the East Side Branch Library, built at a cost of I3S.000 on a site contributed by W. B. Ayer. Mi Out of a Hill as High as the Spalding Bldg! 'ALK about the great 16-inch guns of the new Dreadnaughts what do they amount to when compared with the "Giant" we have right here in Portland? Of course the 16-inch guns may pierce armour-plate, but the Portland "Giant" why, it actually and. literally has moved, and will continue to move mountains! What for? Just s,o that a few hundred of the more favored people can come up out of the streets of the city and live on the Heights as they would on the flat and enjoy conveniences that new engineering methods now make possible for the first time anywhere. Tell me, do you think this property West- over Terraces is worth while to Portland? Is it worth while to have the sites individually with some artistic regard as to their location? And to have them level so that the cost of the home is the only cost? And to have a double system of ter races that sets every home on a plateau of its own distinct, separate and complete? And to have the streets built as they never before have been built, so that walk ing is easy and autos can use the "high"? And above all, to have the Portland panorama that seems to stretch a million miles and hourly, by day and night, presents a still more alluring spectacle? But to see all of this at least should be worth while So why -wait? -When could there be a more con venient time than today now to get a line on this remarkable proposition now in the making? Three of the four stages in the work are now to be seen and to be one of those who will see it today is certainly fit, proper and much to be desired.

SAVED FROM DANGEROUS OPERA TIONNEIGHBOR ADYISED WHAT TO DO FOR BLADDER TROUBLE. L too, wish to add my testimonial to the thousands you no doubt have, and will tell you what your great medicine did lor me. Several months ago I was taken very sick with bladder trouble, had Intense pains and suffered greatly, at times could not stand on my feet or sit In chair, and often was forced to cry out with pain. I consulted two doctors, who gave me different kinds of medicine, which did me no good. It seemed as though the more of their medicine I took, the worse I became. The doctors seemed to be greatly puzzled over my case and after holding a consultation I was told that I had a severe case of lnflarama tlon of the bladder and an operation was very necessary. I was being prepared to be taken to the hospital, when a neighbor came to my bouse and said, "Why don't you try a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. I was willing to try anything to get re lief from my suffering. My wife bought a bottle of your medicine which I began taking and soon noticed a change for the better. I continued taking It and got better right along, my appetite re turned and I was able to resume work. I have used about fourteen bottles of Swamp-Root and know that had I not taken It, I would have been operated on, and perhaps never recovered. I never fall to tell my friends about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root as I know It will save . many people from suffering and perhaps, as in my case, a dangerous operation.
