Year Wei Reviewed.
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.
Don't wait take the Twenty-Third Street or "W
cars to Westover Terraces.
For.plats and full information drop a line to my office
before it is too 'ate.

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.
Yours gratefully,
