His speech was seconded by J. W. Moffatt and Dr. L. L. Perkins, both of whom saw . service in the United States Volun teers in the Philippines, -T. W. Sulli van, A. A. Price and others. It is broadly proposed to raise about $15, 000 in Oregon City and the state will duplicate the amount and supervise the construction of the building. It is expected that the city will provide a site, which would be accepted at a J fair valuation, and the county will be asked to contribute not less than than $7,500. For many years the coun- ty has paid $300 per annum for a makeshift Armory here. This amount is 6 per cent on $5,000, and an ap propriation of $2,500 more would not be a large, item, and would be justi fied, as the Armory building could be used for county purposes. Mr. Johnston pointed out that there is no hall or auditorium in the city capable of seating more than 400 per sons, and that an Armory building could well be utilized for holding con ventions of various kinds, that it would be an excellent place for a poul try show and that its possession would enable Oregon City to make a strong bid for meetings of organiza tions from any section of the North west. From the Armory question the Live Wires turned to the Public Dock proposition and F. J. Tooze, chair man of the Public Dock committee, reported that the City Council would be asked at its meeting next Mon day night to either construct a public dock with city funds or authorize its construction at a suitable place by Drivate mean3. The Live Wires consumed much time in the discussion of the neces sity of a playground and athletic field for the city and this matter will also come before the council next Monday night. Mr. Tooze said that a field lust north of the city could be obtain ed for $3,300, there being 3.7 acres in the field. Frank Busch suggested that higher ground be chosen and referred to the property on First street, re cently purchased by the Board of Wa ter Commissioners, J. E. Hedges, a member of the commission, explained that it is intended to construct a low pressure reservoir on this tract, which contains seven acres, but it might be possible to use only a por tion of the land for the reservoir and the level portion could then be made into an athletic field. In the Live Wires there is a diversity of opinion relative to the nature of the play ' ground should be arranged with swings and features for the amuse ment of the little boys and girls, while others are bent on obtaining a large field for baseball and foot ball. It is apparent to the Live Wires hat with so many projects to come to the attention of the City Council next Monday night, the meeting room of the municipal body will be inade quate and it will be suggested to Mayor Dimick that the council meet ing be adjourned to the courthouse, in order to provide plenty of room for those who care to attend.

Miller, of Seventh street, Tuesday evening, when some of her friends tendered her a miscellaneous shower, and many pretty and useful gifts were presented to the bride elect, whose marriage will take place in this city to Mr H.

His subject was "Industrial Educa tion." Professor Ressler said that education was tending toward the in dustrial.
