of th Liberty Temple lut ulght by

of the (lag rutting exerrUe. assisted
by mcmbera of tho lioya' Scout.
Trior to the actual rulilug or the
flag Mr. Cary nsade an Inspiring pat
rltolc appeal.
"You hear a great deal these dayi
of the offensive on the Weatern front,
tho German offensive, I mean," aald
Major Hturrock. "I aeo a treat many
beada ahaklng an I walk tho atreeta.
"If you could only fe the long
line of men, thin line too. of tired
men, gripping their gone until their
hand bleed, ahoottng ao faHt that the
guna are red hot, If you could only
an thi'im men over there, with the
look ot dettrmlnatlou playing on their
facet, and the grim antlle that the
lluna have learned to hate, then my
frknda yw would know that the
alllet cannot loae.
"Tho Kalaer'a laat opportunity for
victory waa In 1914 when he faced
what lie deemed to call tht 'Army of
Contemptible!.' Thla email army baa
become Immortal under the name of
'Contemptible.'
"Hut victory will not be eaay.
Don't underoatliiiBte the strength of
the enemy. Gut down to hard tack.
Cut out thla talk of what you are go
ing to do and do It.
"Offlcert of the IlrtlUh and French
armlea have b?en forced, ut timet, to
atop hoHtllltlee over nlnht to awnit
additional ammunition.
"Io you want tke aame thing to
happen In your own ranks, over there?
If you don't, do your bit now."
Milton A. Miller, collector of In
ternal revenue In Oregon, In hia ded
icatory adreaa lauded tho women of
thla nation, uh the greutcHt patriotic
factor of tho country.
"When a mother bide her boy good
by, the la displaying the greateat
patrlotlam possible," he aald. "Only
a few dnya ago, at the t'nion depot
In Portland, I anw a mother clasp her
eon to her breast and aay 'Good-by
Joe, God bleaa you. l)o your beat, Joe,
but don't capture a man. Shoot every
damnable Hun you tee.'
"When you are (gauging the sacri
fices you ar called upon to make in
order that this war may be brought
to a aunceHHful conclusion, remember
that more thun 1,000,000 French men
died last year In the war. The people
of Franco are living on scant rations
hut are bearing their Bhare of tho
bultlo with a detormlnntlon never to
surrender.
"Think of little liolglum, a country
no blgKor than Linn and Hurney
counties n our own state. With no.
more people in tho entire country
than there Uvea In the State ot New
York.
"And yot, when the Kaiser at
tempted to plungo through this na
tion, ho waa confronted with an nrmy
of brave men, who held the Germans
back until France could get her
breath and England oculd rush troops
into the conflict.
"We owe much to little Belgium.
If tho German forces had succeeded
breaking through this country as con
templated, they would have captured
the llrltlsh flt, the French fleet
as well, and probably would have
rushed across tho sea and attacked
us here and this great nation would
heve been Into the war, perhaps
mono.
"The Kaiser has put the American
flag In mourning on tho statute of
Frederick the Great, but the day will
come when our Oregon boys, and the
boys of the country will plant our
flag In the streots of Berlin as a
signal of victory over Prusslanlsm,
mllltarlHin, and all elae that is damn
able and despicable."
Kvory Oragon City resident a hold
er of Third Liberty bonds was the
sentiment expreflsed by Mayor Hack
ett, another apealier at ths exerclscB.
"Orogon City has answered very
can," he said. "Lot us do more than
we have been asked to do. Oversuh
scrlptlon in Oregon City will place
Oregon City on the highest rung ot
the ladder of patrlotlwn."
The Invocation was offored by Dr.
C. H. L. Chandler.
Mrs. Sarah Evans, chairman ot the
Womens' division of the Liberty Loan
made a short address.

WHERE TO GET
ROAD MONEY IS
PUZZLING CITY
A somewhat puzzling problem over
the disposition of $14,000 of Oregon
City road money, confronts city of
ficials, and if the 1917 road fund
statutes are strictly construed the
entire amount may have to be spent
on one lone strest of Oregon City
which happens to be a county road.
This street is known as Molalla
Avenue.
The matter will be threshed out
efore the circuit court at an early
date, following a conference of the
county court Wednesday afternoon
with District Attorney Hedges and
George Story and Grant B. Dimick,
representing the city. It was agreed
that a friendly suit be brought by
the municipality at once to see where-
er or not the county court hat juris
diction over the road funds of Ore
gon City.
The county prepared its budget
last fall, providing for the raising of
$14,000 to be spent in roads and high
way maintenance. Under the 1915 and
1917 legislature, each Incorporated
city is made a seperats road dis

raised In each district, the law pro
