Ad areas of President. .
In his address President E. H. Merrlam
urged the necessity of a larger membership
of the business men of the city and a big
ger revenue for the club to work with, say
ing In part:
I believe every member will admit that
a commercial club, or an organisation sim
ilar to ours, organized for the express pur
pose of building up a city, is a nec.-s.ilty,
and that towns of 1,500 or more inhadiiunm
throughout this broad land have found It
necessary to maintain some kind of an or
ganisation to look after the Interests of
their town. With thia fact admitted, you
will agree with me In the statement tnat
funds must be provided If organisation Is to
be maintained, and 1 txdieve and hope that
In the near future all of our members will
consent to contribute a much larger amount
than 12 per year. If we had a revenue
three or four tlmea as large as our present
one, a great deal more could be accom-
fillsbed, and this Is a matter that should be
a ken up and' carefully considered without
delay. With an organisation with as much
money behind it as they ordinarily have in
cities of this size, great good could be ac
complished, but a great deal can be done
If each member of thia club will make It his
business to educate all of our people to be
patriotic and loyal to our city. Educate
yourself first, then your wife and children
and neighbors, to swear by all that Is good
and great that Council Bluffs Is the great
est city they ever aw, or ever expect to
see; teach everyone to buy everything they
need In Council Bluffs: keep this campaign
vp. and Council Bluffs In the next five
vears will gain 26,000 Instead j of 10,000 peo
ple. Review of Tear's -Work.
Secretary Reed In his annual report gave
a review of what had been accomplished
during the last year and called attention
to come of the needs of the city. He re
ferred to the fires which destroyed the
warehouses and stocks t of David Bradley
& CO.,' Keyes Bros, and that which had
partially destroyed the plant of the E.
Children Sons Manufacturing company.
During the year the club lost five mem
bers by death a follow: John Beno, F. B.
Hahan, Dr. D. Macrae, sr., M. H. -Tlnley
and H. D. Harle.
The report In part follows:
Foremost among the valuable aeeeasloni
to the city la the Toung Men' Christian
association enterprise, for which $35.0''0 has
been secured by subscriptions, 14.500 has
been paid for the ground and 112.000 addi
tional Is wanted to erect and equip the
building In the moat modern and up-to-date
manner, with sufficient space to meet all
demands for year to come. The commit
tee Is anxious to have the building' com
pleted without the neceaalty of a debt of
any kind except the debt of gratitude which
the Commercial club and citizens generally
owe to the men who have promoted and
will complete this great undertaking.
The Bloomer cold storage people have put
up a large' and expensive building for cold
storage purposes, I understand, the largest
In Iowa.
The grare growers have reete4 large
ind commod ots warehouse lirgely for their
own use, that is a credit to them and the
city.
The Weir company has succeeded O. W.
Graham In the planing mill and Is working
full time on moldings, stairway and In
line finish.
DeGlorgl Bros., seedsmen, have located
here and are doing a very sntlafactory Job
bing business In garden seeds, In west and
southwest territory.
A packing house will be erected Just as
soon as a satisfactory ordinance I passed
hv the cttv council and while It will he
small at first the parties are aklng no aid
and we are In hope that thia will form the
entering wedge for larger packing houses In
the future.
W still have hopes of securing a neck
yoke and evener factory, likewise a wire
factory. Both hnd almost completed ar
rangementa to locate here at the com
mencement rf the panic.
An Inierurhtn line from Dea Moines weat
to Council Bluffs Is contemplated and one
of the parties tells me It la financed, and
active building operations wll be pushed
during the coming summer.
The street ra'lwav extension to the Iowa
Institute for the Deaf Is still Incubating
and we are still hoping and waiting.
One of the crying needs of thia city aa
well as other cities in Iowa Is a passage of
a law that will compel railroads to pny tax
on their valuable terminal property, at
least to the extent of enabling the city to

Chairman Graham of the committee on
parks In his report advocated the acquire
ment of a forty-acre tract fronting on the
river for -the people of the western part of
the city. The required filling, Mr. Graham
said, could be easily secured from- the river.
Regarding the acquirement of the forty
acres, he said:
If these forty acres could be bought by
the city, the only way we could get the
money would be by an act of the legisla
ture. One mill for three years, I think,
would pay for the ground. Then, after that.
It would be taken care of the same Ha all
other park. Ten acres of this ought to
be laid aside for playgrounds and thirty
acres for the nark proper. In less than five
years this park would pay for itself by the
increased valuation of the surrounding
property cn account of park location.
Twenty years ago the city counoll pro
cured eighty acres, now Falrmount park,
by condemnation, paying at that time some
thing like $1,500. The present value of the
park Is at least $200,000. It is hard to esti
mate the value to this city, of the park and
Its citiaens, the value of having had accees
to such a park not only for the children,
tout parents as well, for both health and
recreation. The same would undoubtedly
hold true In case we purchased and Im
proved a park aa proposed In the western
portion of the city. With the assist anew
of the $75 member! of this Commercial club
It ought not to be a hard matter to bring
about the legislation necessary to authorize
the levying of tax neceaaary to purchase
this property at lis present extremaly low
value.

STREET CAR HEN GET RAISE
Arbitrators Bender Decision Which
Will Ba Accepted bj Both Sides.
NEW MEN GET LARGEST INCREASE
Progressives Reeelve n Setback In
Green Coaatr, Which Has Been
Considered One of Strong
holds of that Faction.
DEB MOINE8, March S. (Special.) The
Des Moines street railway employes won
before the board of arbitration on the
question of wages and were given an ad
vance of about IS per cent. The results of
the deliberations of tha board wera an
nounced this morning at 11 o'clock. The
board consisted of N. T. Guernsey, at
torney for the street railway, who waa se
lected by the company; Senator Thomas
Cheshire, attorney for the employe and e
lected by them; and Right Rev. Mgr. Fla
vin, suggested by the company and accepted
by the men.
The men asked for an Increase amount
ing to considerable more than what they
are given. The company asked the board
to lower their wage, claiming Its earning
were not sufficient to pay the present
wages. Father Flavin, pastor of 8t Am
brose Cathollo church, had the deciding
vote on the board. The Increase Is chiefly
to the men working for the first two years.
The men now work under a sliding scale,
getting more each year "P to the eighth
year, when they get a little more than $16
a week by working seven days.
The claim of the men was that after
working one year they are as proficient as
they ever become and the chief complaint
of the men was the wages they received
for the first years of their employment. The
board gave these men the highest Increase,
amounting to nearly 15 per cent over their
present wages.
It Is understood that the decision of the
board will be accepted by both sides. It
will take effect at once and be operative
for two years. The strike-breakers who
were brought to town by the company to
be used in event of a atrtke will at once
be sent back to Chicago.
Standpatters to Contest.
There may be a contest from Polk county
at the state convention on March 18. In the
recent caucuses here the progressives car
ried tho county, but the standpatters carried
two supervisorial districts. It is possible
that they may decide to contest for the
prlvllego of electing delegates to the state
convention. The progressives Insist that
the county convention will select the dele
gates to the state convention. The stand
patters claim that each supervisorial district
has the right to select Its own delegates to
tho state convention. There was Just such
a contest as this at tho state convention
whon Sydney A. Foster of this city was a
candidate for governor against Governor
Cummins. At that time the state conven
tion turned down the contestant.
Progressive Lose Green.
The progressives havs lost Green county.
At Jhe county convention yesterday the
county selected standpat delegates to the
state convention,' The loss is a severe one
to the progressives, not so much becauae
of the number of delegates, but because
the county Is undoubtedly progressive by a
good majority on any vote. The explana
tion of the progressive Is that their leaders

not In the house at the time are forbidden
admission, and are In hard straits for a
place to lay their heads, as the rooming
houses of the town refuse to accommodate
them, on account of their previous exposure
to the disease. Poto was doing his regular
work at tho clinic of the dental school up
to the time when he was confined to hi
room, and all of the senior class In dentistry
have been exposed to tho disease In greater
or leas degree Fears are entertained by
the university authorities as to the out
come of the matter, and all possible pre
cautions will be taken to prevent the spread
of the epidemic. The local chapter of tho
fraternity consist of twenty member,
seven of whom are seniors In the dental
school, and the loss of their time at this
time may prevent tholr graduation. One
of the incidents of the quarantine has
brought out the Innate nobility of one man's
character. John L. Richards, a senior mem
ber of the dentall school. Is Potc's room
mate, but was out of the house at the time
the quarantine was declared, and was there
fore free to go where he might chooao.
However Richards refused to avail hlmee'.f
of the privilege, feeling that his place la with
his room-mate in his tlmo of need, and has
voluntarily gone Into quarantine with Pote,
that he may be able to help care for him
during his illness. Most of those free from
the qusrantlne have gone to their homes
to await developments of their exposure.
