The piece urges placing the oak cabinet and relics in the city hall or Jonathan Philbrook house, to create a public display for local historical artifacts and education.

Pacific Slope continues on voting rights and liquor
The writer praises Western women voters and Oregon's drive to ban liquor, arguing women’s suffrage will end the liquor curse.
