The world war is rapidly slipping
into history, bat .before it has en
tirely disappeared between the pages
of books it weald be a pity if Mote
could not act upon the offer of the
gov rn me nt whereby ‘some of the
caytured war trophys held by the
government could not be secured
for Moro park. The captured war
material is to be distributed to the
states from the arsenal in New Jer
sey. Oregon’s quota amounta to
nearly 75.000 pounds and will be
allotted to the communities making
application before July 25. The list
of material includes rifles, machine
gun?, swords, artillery, and other
munitions of war, captured from
the Germani and Austrian armies.
The government is offering any
cummunity in Oregon their choice of
the .material on hand. The request
must come through certain specified
channels, mainly for the purpose of
securing to the government a pledge
that the captured trophys will be
placed where the public can view
them without being charged for the
privilege.
Sherman county has three places
for display of ^hese captured war
trophys if application be made be

Grass Valley park, and DeMoss park

ulations.

ment can be made through commer
