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.

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
