It was as comfortable ard tttt hampeiing as a ball room gowr.. only more so. It was terrible. Their clothing was nil. Vasbti Smith, 553 So. 12 street telephoned a complaint to the police. It seems the boys were on 12th street, a short distance from the Southern Pacific station.

"Oregon is to be complimented and congratulated upon the mag nificent showing she made in in dicating some share of her appre ciation for what her service men did during the great war," the governor's letter reads. "There was no question but the measure would carry, the only question being by what majority. The landslide in its favor shows un equivocally that the people hac not forgotten and will not forget the services Oregon's young man hood rendered for the nation. "The splendid work which han been done by. the American iegtoa since Its organization no doubt had much to do with the tremen dous majority given o the sol diers' bonus bill.
