If you put this drive over you will set pace that Seattle. Tacoma, fcpokane and all tha others will have to live up to. Portland always Is first In the.e patriotic campaigns. I predict you will be In this." He-sort Are Applaaded. When the reports of captains were called for every one was applauded. but Mrs. Charles Scsddlnr's team took the house by storm with the banner report showing that 1901 had been gathered In th one day. Mra Scad ding la ahead so far and la In line for tha trophy to be presented by Atlyeb Bros. Miss Jean Morrison's team won laurels, not so much for the six of. Its collection, but for the determine tion shown. The young women had a district that Included the waterfront of St. Johns "and some hills and vales wher soma of tha girls got lost." ac cording to tha report of the captain. Thosa who returned reported the great est sympathy shown the cause by the poorer families they had visited. Mrs. W. G Alvord and her Y. W. C. A. team more than doubled the- returns of the Y. M. C.

Johnston, of the Lelghton i Dairy Lunch, who said that he had saved (41 pounds of sugar In th month of December as a result of tha patriotism of his customers in con serving sugar and that he wished the money lo b credited to his patrons as a gift from them. Mrs. Bert Markay. of Mra.

Measure, With "Dynamite" Eliro Inated, Providing- for Reports of Road Supervisors to County Board, Finally Pat Through. Roadmaster Teon yesterday won the second round In bla fight with Chair man Holman, of th County Board. when Holman voted to adopt a resolu tion he himself had presented, but which waa revised by Commissioner Muck to eliminate the "dynamite" which It la charged by Mr. Yeon was Inserted In the resolution by Holman for the purpose of causing dissension. The resolution, as adopted yesterday, confirms the appointment of the six road supervisors named by Mr. Teon and also that of D. W. Stoddard as accountant aa well as the appointment of other employ.. The salary of Mr. Stoddard was Increased to 1125, as recommended by Roadmaster Yeon. from the flOS which Mr. Holman at first demanded. The resolution, as originally pre sented by Mr. Holman, likewise pro vided that the alz different road supervisors should make their monthly verbal reports to the County Commls- slonera. This section waa excluded from the resolution by the board yes terday at Mr. Teon'a demand. Mr. Teon recently told the board that he would make the reports for his men Inatead of having them go over hie head to the board In person. At a re cent meeting considerable controversy aros over thl provision, and Holman at that time insisted that his vlewe be Incorporated Into the resolution. From his action yesterday It la shown that h has capitulated. Th resolution further provide that the financial report ef the road de partment shall be made enee a month by Mr. Teon Instead ef by hla ac countant, a Mr. Holman Bought in hi original motion. Th ehanges were all demanded by th roadmastsr when he appeared before Che beard at a rs ent mtlng. named as defendant in a civil action filed yesterday by McMinnville Colloee, which seeks to recover $1500 alleged to be due on a promissory note, for which the house destroyed by fire was mortgaged as security.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallls, Feb. 6. (Special.) A tele gram from Washington, D. C, has been received by Sergeant Cyrus Franklin Dugger, of the military department of the college, informing him that he has been given a commission as First Lieu tenant, Adjutant - General's depart ment. At the beginning of the war Sergeant Dugger made an effort to get Into active service, but was re fused on account of his age. The War Department, however, has waived that consideration and the sergeant is now awaiting orders to report for duty. He has been at O. A. C. on the staff of the military department since July 1915, specializing in the adjutant de partment. He enlisted in the regular Army in 1882 at Columbus Barracks and since that time until he retired in 1909 was stationed at many posts, in cludine- several forts in Texas, Fort Potter, N. T.; Porto Rico, Fort Wayne and Fort Brady, Michigan; Havana, Cuba, where he remained for two years: Fort Slocum, New York, and Little Rock, Ark. Sergeant Dugger has held the posi tion of assistant commandant at O. A. C. and is popular with the cadets of the regiment. He will remain at the College until he is called into active service, which wil doubtless be within a short time. Allied Credits Increased. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. Allied credits have been increased to 4, 684, 400, 000 by a loan of 1155,000,000 to France. The funds will be spent largely in this country for military supplies.
