length on the advisability of having
an Armory here and answered a vol-
. ley of questions that were fired at
him by members of the Commercial
Club organization. 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.

PROF RESSLER URGES
Professor E. D. Ressler, of the ag
ricultural college at Corvallis, deliv
ered an instructive lecture at ' the1
High School Wednesday morning.
His subject was "Industrial Educa
tion." Professor Ressler said that
education was tending toward the in
dustrial. He said the classics had:
their place, but nowadays it was conr
Bidered best to instruct the boys and
girls in the work that they would
have to do when they became men
and women. He thought it a wise
policy ti teach the students engineer
ing, agriculture and other arts rather
than Latin and Greek, when it was
impossible for all. to be given in a
course. The Boys' Glee C'nb gave
several selections after - Professor
Ressler finished his address.
