THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

In discussing the financial outlook
Henry Clews expresses the opinion that
while during the next two weeks the
stringeDcy in money may be continued.
in preparation for January interest
disbursements and settlements Incl
dental to the close of the year, that
after the middle of January the ten
dency should again be towards easier
conditions. Funds withdrawn for
crop-moving purposes will soon begin
to return from the interior, while
money withdrawn by interior banks
during the panic will also come back
with considerable freedom, he says.
The distribution Of January dividend
and interest payments also will be
helpful Last year these payments
amounted TO about $3.50, GOO. 600, and
this year they will probably exceed
that figure

CITY COUNCIL In SPECIAL SESSION
ON Street MATTERS.
Residents of Hill District Attend in
Force, and Oppose Plans Outlined d
by the Council as too Expensive.
Will Grade Broadway, Eighth and
II Streets.

The special meeting of the citv council
held Monday night to consider sugees.
tions by those interested as to the meth
od to be followed in improving the streets
OF the hill district, was attended bv a
representative BODY of property owners
interested. A general discussion OF the
subject was had, in the course of which
it became evident that because of the On.
position to the plans of the council, it did
not follow that they opposed the i'm.
provements. The opposition was based
upon the unnecessary expense of cement
cutters and curbs being placed on newly
filled land, where they would be sure to
settle, and to the amount of the most ex.
penslve gravel called for by the ordi-
nance.
Ii was shown in the meeting that there
was strong probability that beds OF
gravel would be discovered in some OF
the streets that require heavy excava.
tlons, which might be used to good ad.
vantage, or that cement gravel could be
obtained from near Cosmopolis for one.
hall the cost of washed gravel called fol
by the ordinance, and the consensus ol
opinion favored grading the streets, and
placing plank curbs at the park strips
for the present.
An apparent fear that the owners on
streets with light grade..mght have to pay
for those where the cutting or filling wai
heavier, had the effect OF preventing the
adoption OF the chez pest plan for the i'm
provement, by having the grading done
in one district, thus making a contract
large enough to justify the use of moderr
appliances in moving the earth. At
torney Mckay suggested that this coulc
be done in an equitable manner, by hav
ing the estimates made for each street
AID having the amounts named in the
resolution. This would have permitted
letting the grading in one job, and woult
surely have resulted in much lower bic
than to let the streets separately.
1t was finally decided to proceed will
the improvement of Broadway, from
First to Ninth; Eighth, from Broadwa,
to IL, and II street from Market te
Eighth.

CANUCKS SHUT OUT
Was Too Swift
For the Canadians,
and Struck Out
Eleven Out of
Thirty-One

Tonneson had Vancouver completely
at his mercy Tuesday, and the tailenders
never had look in. He struck out
eleven, and during the entire game only
thirty-one men faced him. The big
southpaw had everything, and his team
mates played perfect ball behind him.
Aberdeen started things in the first,
when singles by Van Buren,, Mahon and
Streib, and Fitzgerald's three Dagger
netted three runs. In the third, singles
by Streib and Tonneson, with Boettger's
two-bagger, gave the leaders another
pair. The sixth iun was scored in the
eighth, when Van Buren, hit for three
bases and Mahon followed with two
base swat.
Waters hit for three bases in the fifth,
but died on third. Tonneson did some
nice fielding. Score too.
Owing to the rain, and the Taft recep.
ton, no game was played yesterday.
