THE OREGON ' DAILY I JOURNAL. PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, , FEBRUARY 21, 1908. i t -- i ; l BEST ARCH East Side Business Clubs Hi on New Scheme to Secure Best VPossible Street II ' ; lumination Durinsr Carol val Parade. At a meetlna- of ths Bast Side Bui feesa Men's club last night In tbe Healy block, East Morrison and Orand avenue, H was decided to offer a caab award of ISO to the east aide progresilvo body that would erect the finest and moat beautiful arch over the route of the au tomobile nageant that will be aent to the east aide during the Roe Festival, Tbe offer waa made in order to encour age the improvement associations to ' build arches to beautify the route of the blar uarade on the eaat side. i A committee will be appointed by President C. A. Bigelow of the business men club to go berore the airrereni east side bodies soon and explain to !l them the terms and the nature of the ward, until It la more definitely de termined over what thoroughfares the pageant will pass the details of the plan cannot be formulated. It was stated at the last meeting of the United East Side clubs that nearly ail the clubs are preparing 'to erect arches over the streets where the paradq will pass In order to make the east aide feature a bi success. The offer of the business men will help mate' rtally In promoting that success. Good reeling Expressed. Much good feeling Is expressed on the east side toward the managers of the June festival for the consideration they have given the east side. Never before baa the east side been recognised so far as to grant them any part In such car nivals or other celebrations as have been held by. different organisations In the past history of Portland. As a result the east side clubs, ono and all, and of which now there are nearly 10 active ones, are willing to give every assistance to the festival management. Not "Only are preparations Doing made for this year among the east aide associations, but they are looking xorward to greater errorte in the years Of the Rose Festivals that are to come. The central east aide organisations are urged to Improve the streets. The organizations are doing and have done a great deal toward 'securing street lm- Srovements. but have met with a great eal of difficulty In forcing the con tractors to execute" the contracts after the contracts have been awarded to them. Great Delay la Faring. The contract for the improvement of Grand avenue is a sample of this diffi culty that the clubs have been compelled to put up with. The contract has been let for two years to the Warren Con struction company and but a few block of the street have been improved at this time. The delay cannot be blamed upon the contractors altogether In this instance, as the city water department and street railroad company are partly and respec tively to blame, the first for .not placing water mains, and the latter for not planning tracks as aulckly as they snouia. Tne water Doaru is Diamea oy the property owners mor especially. The water Doard noids tne engineer in tn water department responsible, and he In turn puts the blame on the factory, be cause they did not ship the pipe. However, the street remains unim proved, and little hope Is entertained that It will dry un sufficiently before June 1 to allow the street to be Im proved with safety. Jerome O. Hoyt, manager of the Warren Construction company. It lg said, has offered to bet $1,000 that the street will be Improved. The east side business men decided last night to send a committee to Mr. Hoyt and see for a certainty whether they could expect the street to be ready for the June carnival. Improve East Morrison. Unless these principal thoroughfares are Improved It will be Impossible to route any part of the parade on the earn side: This Is realized by the east side. East Morrison and Grand avenue are the two thoroughfares that must be. Im proved. The Improvement of Eaut Mor rison, It Is understood, will be hurried. The time for a remonstrance has passed and the contract will be let in a few weeks. It was also announced at the meeting of the business men last night that the railroad company was already prepar ing to relay the intricate Intersection at tracks at East Morrison and Grand ave nue for this Improvement The festival management, according to Mr. Blgelow, Is doing more for the east side than they at first promised. All of the parade on the day when It Is planned to send the parade across the bridges Trill come to the east side in stead of fust part of the parade, as was wat first contemplated. This will be the I decorated automobiles, one of the grand est if not the grandest pageant of the week's show. Zlltunlnate Streets. Furthermore, an the evening of Thurs day, June 4, when it Is planned to hold a night carnival and masque festival on the east side there will be no other at tractions on the west side of the river. j or this event the clubs are endeavor ' ing to do their utmost to make it a success. The wide thoroughfares of the east side will ;e illuminated with strings and festoons of electric lights, and the ciuos nave piannea to go to considerable expense to draw the thousands of the ' city's visitors to the east side of the : river on that evening. i The offer of a cash award by the business men for the best arch lg be- I lleved on the east side to be a big step : toward making the carnival successful', or at least that part of the carnival to which it relates. It 'wilf-stimulate the ; Improvement associations to a pleasant and friendly rivalry that will be pro ductive of much good for the east side, for themselves and for the success of the carnival as a whole.

It Is thought that the safety of the public demands it. BASEBALL TEAM TO DO ADVERTISING STUNT Breastplates Will Be Decor ated With 3-T Slogan of East Side. The East Side Business Men's club considering the proposal made to them by H. H. Pomeroy, manager of the east side baseball team of the Tri-Clty league, to equip the team with uniforms for the season. The cost of the entire equipment will be between 200 and $S0O, but It is believed by the business men that the step will be a profitable On the front of the suit will be the rmbol of the East Side Business Men s h th ihrni T'a within a circle made in the colors of the club, a bright ellow. It is the plan or me ciuo iu eeo this symbol before the people as tniih aa noaaible. and It Is Delleved that no better method can be found. The symbol Is being painted on sign boards all over the city and creating mnh mm m ont and means "Trade on the East Side, Talk the East Side and Travel Over the East Side," ths last so a familiarity of the size and growth of the eaBt side can be comprehended. The proposition to equip the team was talked of but no action was taken last nis-ht. aa Mr. Pomeroy could not be present. The details of the plan were I not eubmltted. The general proposition Lwas favorably received, nowever, ana may De autnorizea ai me nei ununs. CITIZENS TO DEMAND FILL OF COUNCIL Will Go in Body to Bequest Action in Stephens' Slough Matter. f? i..., - .... ' y : ; f Peninsula Eesidents Want Bridge to Open North or. Hancock Street- it has been found by the leading members Of the North East Bide Im provement association that a definite location lor the approaches to the pro posed high bridge must be determined before the bridge proper Can go to the people. The matter of locating the ap proaches la aoinar to prove a. difficult proposition on account of the demand of the property owners on the peninsula that the east approach be located at some point further north than Hancock street, me proposed location. . At the meeting of the North East Side organisation this evening the next steps in brlnalnar the bridge proposition to a vote In June will be taken. It may be necessary that a special election be called in the early fall for this measure and some other measures that are pro posed bv the clubs because of the short time between now and June 1, the date of the election. The location of the ap proach and the drawing up of the engineers' plans will take considerable time, especially where so comprehensive and Important a project is proposed. There will be no difficulty about the approach on the west- side as tne rail road company nas already tnrougn n officials In Portland declared a willing' ness to receive the bridge at most any point In the terminal yards. The ap proach win interfere very nine witn the value of the oronerty and the hand line- of trains. The dispute arises In regard to the east approach. The penin sula demands that it be farther south In order to accommodate the growing population and wealth of that part of the city. WAITING MORE INSUR ANCE IN 1908. Mutual XJfs's Head Speaks of Bis; Im provement Over Last Tear. From New York Tribune, Feb. 15. U0I. Charles A,-Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, In commenting yesterday upon the com pany's business for 1907 and the pros pects for the coming year, said: The new insurance written so iai this year greatly exceeds that of the corresponding period of 1907. and the ratio of increase Is advancing every week. This is owing to several causes. chief among them being the increase in the agency foroe which the company has built up. The cash and loan val ues of the company's policies have also been largely increased. "Not tbe least of the changes con tributing to the return of confluence Is the improvement of tbe annual divi dends of the company. In 1907 the Mutual Life paid out for dividends the sum of 4,3Zi,43.X4, wnne ,in,uu..u; had been appropriated for the purpose in 1908. The Increase In this item in the case of the Mutual Life Is due. among other causes, to a material ad vance In the dividend scale, to a larger number of maturing twenty-year dis tribution policies, etc in respect to the dividends paid in 1907, It is noteworthy that the sum of 2.822.429.66. or more than 65 per cent. was applied to the purchase of paid-up insurance, indicating the confidence of policy-holders in the company. To the same effect may be mentioned the cir cumstance that one fourth of the new insurance written In 1907 was applied for by existing policyholders. The new premiums . received last year amounted to $6,362,380.62, and the renewal premiums to $50,276,819.68, making the total premium income $66, 639,200.20. The commissions to agents on renewal premiums were ;u.zd. This Item amounts to less than Z per cent of the total renewal premiums col leced."

As the matter of rescinding the East Sixth street fill across the Stephens slough will come un at the next meet ing of the council the residents along East Sixth street and vicinity are pre paring for a demonstration. They will go In a body before the council and demand that the fill be expedited at the earliest possible moment. Much feeling has been aroused over the matter and the whole southeastern part of the clty is united against re scinding the contract At the meeting of the Brooklyn association last night the matter was quite exhaustively dis cussed and arrangements made for sending a big delegation to the council next Wednesday ' afternoon when tho matter comes up for consideration. The property owners fear that If this fill contract is rescinded because of the Indisposition on the part of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber company to pay for it other fill projects will meet the same fate. Especially was the East Eighth street fill nierlioned by mem bers or the club last nt2 as the next fTll likely to be rescind. The property owners r.long both these streets have gone to neat expense to have these, two thoroughfares East i iigntn street and H&st sixth street improved. - Now the lumber company refuses to pay Its share of the ex pense, and the property owners will lose the benefit of the big expenditure If the council does what the lumber company wishes- by rescinding the con tract If the contract Is rescinded the MONDAY A GREAT DAY FOR WOODMEN At Pendleton Seven Lodges Will Meet to Initiate 110 Candidates and Enjoy a Banquet.
