THE SIORXING OREGOXIAJT. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER
28. 1917.
LIBRARY FUND LOW
Total Reports From Oregon to
Date Only $6400.
SOME TOWNS RUN AHEAD
The Dalles, With $159; Corvallis,
AVith $130; Astoria, 5225,
and Eugene, $239, Leading
Uut-oMown Contributors.
With the -war library fund on Its last
two days, slightly In excess of $6400
has been reported to headquarters,
about equally divided between Port
land and the rest of the state.
Owing: to the lrKe number of com
mittees that have not yet reported at
alt in Portland, and especially from
many sections of the ptate, it Is im
possible even to estimate what the
final total will be, but W. I Brewster,
state director, is fearful that Oregon
will fall considerably behind its quota.
Scores of committees in Portland
have -not reported at all, other than to
promise to make their final report
Saturday. J
Ad Clab Will Work.
The Ad Club committee which has
been busily organizing under If. 13.
Xee, chairman, promises to maKe a
sturdy one-day drive in its territory
today.
One of the- hardest residential fights
has been that made under L. A. Andrus
on Portland Heights. Up to date this
committee has turned over $120 to
Treasurer Cookingham.
Oresham, which, was reported to have
ended its campaign with $40 collected,
'indignantly repudiated this statement
and asserted it would keep right on
until its $100 quota was reached. -
Amon? tha more striking out-of-town
reports yesterday was $61 re
ported by H. M. Cox, of Arlington,
safely over that city's quota; Bandon,
40. raised, by a patriotic tea with a
benefit performance to close the week.
Two CItlea In Llmeltsbt.
Two cities stood out markedly. The
Dalles', which with $459 to its credit
leads all other out-of-Portland locali
ties, and Corvallis, which raised $150
solely on a newspaper campaign con
ducted by the Gazette-Times. Not one
person has been solicited personally in
Corvallis. N. Xt. Moore, news editor,
promises that the entire $300 quota
will be raised.
Astoria's announcement of $215 al
ready raised puts that, city away for
ward, while Eugene's total of $239
keeps the University City in the lime
light. A -igorous drive is being made
there today.
Redmond, under the leadership of
Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Hosch, was Instrj
mental 1n raising $25.50. or 25 per cent
more than its apportionment. Moro
with $33, Junction City with $11, Mitch
ell with $10, St. Benedict $20, Suth
erlin $20.50 and Monroe $10 were typi
cal of what was done by the smaller
cities.

serving njeals during the past week to
men en route from California to

an expense of only $568.83 and received
$1358.80 from the Government for the
meals served.
According to the soldiers, the meals
served at Albany were the best they
received en route because at other

A total of 2598 men were served with
