TO HEAR OBJECTIONS
COUNCIL CONCENTRATES I'M
PROVING MANY STREETS.
Forty Blocks Will Be Graded and
Graveled, Provided People Don't
demonstrate.

The city council contemplates the
improvement of some forty or more
blocks of streets during the summer,
such betterment to consist of grading,
and graveling to width of sixteen
feet, to an established grade, the
depth of the gravel to be sufficient to
Withstand the travel, and the cost to
be assessed against the property
abutting. Notice of the proposed i'm
provement having been given the pre-
scribed publicity, the council will on
Monday evening next listen to any
remonstrances against the proposed
betterments, and invites all interested
parties to be present at a meeting to
be held at that time for the purpose.
The improvements do not provide for
curbing, the aldermanic body believing
that this additional charge may well
be eliminated at this time. The pur-
pose of the declaration to improve the
streets in question is to make them
travelable at all times during the win
ter months. The sixteen feet of grav-
ell will answer and the cost will be
comparatively light. Those streets in
cluded in the proposed improvement
district are as follows:
All that part of Jefferson Street
lying between the South line of Clay
Street and the North line of Ash
Street; all that part of Shelton Street
lying between the South line of Clay
Street and the North line of Ash
Street; all that part of Ash Street

The hope of the futrue years is in
the loyalty and patriotism of the
children of today. Let us then not
fail in our duty in these last days of
the Grand Army of the Republic.
"Fear not for the flag, or for
freedom,
While the hearts and the homes are
true,
And the lengthening line of the chill
dren
Cheers the shortening line of the
blue. "
The Sunday preceding Memorial
Day, May "a, will, according to the
established usage of the Grand Ar
my Of the Republic, be observed as
Memorial Sabbath. All Posts in the
Department are directed to attend di-
vine service on that day, to return
thanks to the Giver of all good gifts
for His love and protection, and to
unite in earnest prayer for His con-
tinued care and guidance for our
selves and the country of our love.
Posts are urged to invite, not only
the allied organizations, but the Ma
tional Guard and all civic and frater-
nal associations to unite with them
in this service.
The Gettysburg address of Presi-
dent Lincoln will be read or recited
as part of the Memorial Day exer-

Lincoln's S address, delivered by the
war president at the dedication of the
National cemetery at Gettysburg in
1864, as it will be read by Rev. Ben

church tomorrow. is aS follows:
-Four score and seven years ago
our Father brought forth ON this con
tinent Il new nation. conceived in lib
crty and dedicated to this proposition.
that all men are created equal Now
we are engaged in a great civil war,
testing whether that nation. or any
other nation 81 conceived and 81 dedi-
Gated, can long endure. We are met
ON great battlefield of that war.
We have come To dedicate Il pui itiou
of that field as a final resting place
for those who gave their lives that
the nation might live. II is altogether
proper and fitting that We should do
this.
"But in Il larger sense we cannot
dedicate, We cannot consecrate, we
cannot hallow this ground. The brave
men-living and dead-who struggled
here have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or. retract. The
world will little now. nor long remem-
ber, what we say here. 1t is for us.
the living, rather. to be dedicated here
10 the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly ad-
vanced. Ii is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great tasks remaining
before us that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave 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, shall have new
birth of freedom, and that government
IF the people for the people, shall not
perish Of the earth"

Gen. Finer Issues Order.

The following, regarding memorial
day exercises, has been sent out to
the commanders of the various militia
companies by Adjutant General Fin
zer:
The various organizations of the
Oregon National Guard and Naval
militia will in every way assist local
organizations of the Grand Army of
the Republic in the appropriate obser-
vance of Memorial Day exercises,
May 80, 1914.
1t is fitting that the soldiers of
today should in every way assist in
the patriotic duty of keeping fresh in
the minds of the people the great sac
rifces made by the veterans of form
er years.
Where organizations are not re-
quested to participate in body, mem
bers of the Guard and Naval militia
should as individuals offer to assist
the Grand Army veterans in the pro-
gram of the day."

Alb, once they faced the deadly fire
And stood where shot and shell fell
fast!
They fight times battles bravely now
As fought they battles of the past.
And, though no fields of carnage now
Spread horrors to the shrinking eye,
Upon times field each passing day
The victims Of the battle lie.
So now we pluck the fragrant flower
And weave the laurel wreath today
To lay beside the silent forms
OF those who fell beside the way.
