Now we are engaged in a . great civil war, testing whether that nation so con ceived and so dedicated can lone endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to aea- icate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those wnonere gave iuut lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fit ting and proper that we should do tbk'. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, i we . cannot hal low this ground. The brave men living1 and and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or de tract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here; but - it can never forget what theyt did here, fit is for. us. the living, rather, lo be dedicat ed here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far nobly ad vanced. It Is rather for us to be here dedicated to tne great task remaining before u: that from these honored dead we take increased de vntion to that cause for which they save the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this, nation under God. ha!l have a new birth of freedom; and that government of tbe i people, by the people, and for the people, shall not.pcrish from the earth.

SEARCH TO BE RESUMED Transfer of the control of the Interstate . bridge between Van couver, Wash., and Portland, now vested in the Multnomah county commissioners as members of the interstate bridge commission, to the hands ot Governor Olcott un til such time as Multnomah coun ty pays "her debts to the state of Oregon, is contemplated in a bill Introduced in the house yesterday by Representative Gordon of Multnomah. In introducing the bill. Repre sentative Gordon virtually sacri fices his position as a member of the Multnomah . delegation be cause of his duty as chairman of the bouse ways and means com mittee. "Multnomah county now owes the state of Oregon $152,091.13." said Gordon yesterday, "and as chairman ot the house ways and means committee I - cannot help but take the position I have. This money is due the state. Multno mah county has admitted that It Is due. but still neglects to pay It. while money Is being taken from the Interstate bridge fund, the commissioners admit, to be ap plied to other expenses. Under the provisions f a bill passad at the 1915 session of the legislature, the county commis sioners, as the county court'of Multnomah county, are required to inbuilt to the secretary of state a detailed report of the am ount of grot earnings, expenses and net profits earned by the county as Its share of the tolls from the bridge. The act further provides that Multnomah county shall retain 25 per cent of the net profits from these tolls that the remaining 75 per cent shall be turned over" to the state to apply on the amounts credited to the county on the state tax 'levies for the payment by the state ot Interest on Inter state bridge bonds. A table compiled by the secre tary of state shown that since 1916 tbe state has credited the county with $304,792.75 and that the county has remitted only $152,701.62. leaving a balance due of $152,091.13. Within Multnomah county con siderable discussion has centered about the disposition of this fund, and the commissioners 'have agreed . several times that the money should be paid, it Is' un derstood here." However, the de pleted condition of the county treasury bas Interfered with this plan or else the commissioners have felt that the money could be used more advantageously on construction projects to which they are committed. It Is understood that the gov ernor is agreeahle to the plan, al though Gordon would not discuss this feature of the bill yesterday. SAN ANTONIO. Tex.. Feb. 11.
