Reported yesterday... 103,200 Total Grand total . 057,840 4,191,940 Quite as though it realized its im portance as the outset of "Patriotic week, yesteraay eclipsed all previous records for subscriptions to the second liberty loan issue, both in Portland and the state at large. The reported total for the day was $704,000, with nu merous subscriptions untabulated ow ing to the rush at neadquarters. Yet yesterday's record must be passed, and greatly so. on each remain ing day of the campaign, if Oregon is to close her liberty loan books with a full quota. Of the required quota. 16,500,000, but $4,191,940 has been sub acribed. At 15 minutes past noon, through cut Portland, there rose a clangor of bells, jargon of automobile horns and tooting of factory whistles. At that instant, wherever they were. the streetcars came to a halt. The city, by official proclamation of the Mayor, paused in its occupations to consider the import of the liberty-loan obliga tion. Crowd Sees Flag: Go lp. At the postoffice grounds, where the flag indicator of the state's quota stands, a great crowd grew to witness the ceremony of raising the flrg to its new niche nearer the goal. The mem bers' council of the Chamber of Com merce was in charge of the brief pa triotic programme, with the Washing ton High School Band as a tuneful aide. E. Li. Thompson, chairman of the members' council, raised the flag at precisely 12:15. As though in response, and by carefully timed arrangement, the whistles and bells of the city hailed the new altitude. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was sounded by the. band, lifting above the tumult of cheers. At no time in the present drive has Port land manifested the high tide of en thusiasm which eddied about the flag Indicator yesterday. The message of the liberty loan was delivered to the great gathering by K. L. Thompson, W. P. Woodward and C. A. Miller, campaign manager for Oregon. Mr. Miller contrasted the re cent reception of the seventh war loan in Germany with the progress of the second liberty loan in America and urged that the patriotism of true citi zens be made manifest through the duty of dollars. f 250O Taken In Crowd. An orchestra from the Hippodrome, with George Lovett as exhorter, was stationed on a float at the rallying point. Mr. Lovett spoke of the urgency of the cause, clearly and with telling effect, for subscriptions aggregating $2500 were taken in the crowd at the con clusion of his talk. Mr. Lovett told the distribution committee at their Hotel Portland luncheon that his company at various cities had taken $82,000 in "lib erty loan subscriptions. At the luncheon of the subcommit tees on distribution a total of $733,000 was reported to Campaign Manager Miller by the various chairmen. The subcommittees will assemble again Fri day noon at a similar experience meet ing. Charles F. Berg, chairman of the re tall merchants' committee, and chief of 32 subcommittees, received two remark Able reports yesterdav. aggregating $4600. M. Sichel. chairman of the clothiers' subcommittee, reported $3600. while Max Cohen, chairman of the cigar dealers' subcommittee, reported $1000. The speaking campaign, which is to reach 800 audiences in Oregon this week, officially opened yesterday, and hundreds of encouraging reports were received at headquarters. The speck " will travel by train and automobile, and visit every county in the state. w Scheme la Adopted. One of the most practicable plane yet presented for the enlisting of em ploye forces in the liberty loan is sue is that of Woodard. Clarke & Co.. with P. II. Poole, an employe, as the moving spirit. xiir employes, approximately ;50 in number, are being organized as the Woodlark Liberty Bond Club. Each member takes one share at $1 from the weekly pay check. At the end cf the week, with five $50 bonds fully paid for. for example, a drawing is held and the bonds awarded to the winners. The winners continue to pay into the fund, however, and the draw ings are held until each contributor is possessed of a bond. The Pacific States Fire Insurance Company yesterday presented its sub cription xor smhiu. with a promise to take an additional $5000 in the near future. Every employe will be can vassed by the company for the pur cnase oi ponas. i ne company now holds a large block of the. 3V4 per cent issue, and will sell these, rein vesting the money. Insurance Company Interested. A purchase of $5000 in every town In Oregon where it has an office is the announced policy of the West Coast-San Francisco Life Insurance Company, of Santa Cruz. Into liberty loan headquarters yester day afternoon came Corporal Encell L. Todd, late of Forest Grove, but now of the fighting sL'nited States Marines. He counted down $400 in gold and asked that his application for bonds in that amount be noted. He was followed in a few minutes by Dr. Elmer E. Anderson, of 594 Mil waukie 6treet. an officer in the Medi cal Reserve Corps. Dr. Anderson pur chased $200 in bonds. He and Corporal Todd are to see France in the near future. H. W. McNabb was a somewhat ex asperated patriot. He glowered about him as he entered headquarters and wanted to know if anyone present could pause from the turmoil long enough to take his application. "I've been to every blamed bank in town," aatd Mr. McXabb. "and there yeas always a line waiting." Two $50 bonds sold at headquarters yesterday are. credited to feminine f) -t ... .

COMPANY L BID FAREWELL Pbil Metschan and A. C. Spencer Deliver Appeals for Subscrip tions; Parade Precedes Mass Meeting. LA GRANDE. Or., Oct. 15. (Special.) Patriotism, exemplified in marching columns, interested crowds and force ful speeches permeated the air in Union County upon the first day of Liberty Loan week. . A demonstration that spoke volumes for the patriotic spirit of La Grande was staged at 7 o'clock tonight, and half an hour later the auditorium of the Methodist Church reverberated with song: and speech. With the La Grande band leading:, parade of military and quasi-military nature marched through the streets 7 o clock. Company L, ready to en train for points . vnknown, a few min utes later, made its last appearance in La Grande at the head of the line. Be hind, the sun-burned Dallas soldiers came three companies of Home Guards. Major Collidge's battalion consisted of Companies A, B and C. B Company ia composed of 80 high school lads.' La Grande's chapter of Honor Guard Girls came next, and then the civilian division. Swinging down thi main avenue and wheeling into the Metho dist Church, the cavalcade made a de cided impression. About 2000 people were out to witness the demonstration. Just before opening the appeal for subscriptions at the church General Chairman Holmes delivered a stirring farewell address to Company L. Offi cers and men were given a rousing demonstration at the close. As the sol diers and Home GuardR swung away from the church singing of patriotic airs began.

Then came Phil Metschan, noted innkeeper of Portland, with an appeal for subscriptions to the liberty loan that astonished his many friends here. A. C. Spencer, counsel for the O.-W. R. & N.. was another speaker with a punch. As the speakers drove home argument and appeal to the audience, the importance of the success of the second loan for liberty became apparent. Union County is thoroughly organ ized for its duty this week, but the two Portland men, with their mag nificent appeals tonight, unquestion ably blew the spark of previous in terest into fire, until now the populace is ripe for generous giving.
