PRISON LIBRARY REPORT.

Interesting Showing Of the Librarian as to
Use of Books.
The Librarian at the Oregon State
Prison has made the following report
to Superintendent A. N. Gilbert and
the officers Of the Oregon Sta te
Prison:
REPORT.
The Library records show that the
applications received from, and
granted to the prisoners for the loan
of books to read from January /, to
December 81, 1897, were 9,7l0.
The total number of men who read
library books during the year were 5O6.
Applications granted for school
books, l6l.
Applications for Bibles and Testa-
ments or Prayer Books, 81.
Total number of books 9.898.
Christian papers attributed during
the year fully 1000 copies.
At this date the library contains
1913 Vols, listed and numbered, in
Guiding about so Vols, ordered during
the year mostly donated by men who
have been discharged. There are also
slightly more than 300 school books,
nearly all grades in English and few
in German, French, Latin and Greek.
or Bibles, Testaments, hymn books
and Episcopal church prayer books
there are about 250, making the total
number of books to aggregate some
thing over 1900 Vols.
Some of the books are much worn
from constant use and it may be nec-
essary to withdraw from circulation
some 70 or so Vols, to save them al
together.
To my personal knowledge majority
OF the men highly appreciate the
library privileges and to some those
privileges have been conducive to
both moral and intellectual elevation.
With those encouraging thoughts /
am rewarded and am obediently and
respectfully,

Calling in Silver Certificates.

WASH NGToN, Jan. 4.-One of the
most dangerous counterfeits ever dis
covered has made It's appearance.
John Creamer, of the sub treasury at
Philadelphia, brought to the secret
Seryice Office live 800 counterfeit sill
yer certificates, with the head of
President Monroe. The general APP
pearence is excellant and, after close
inspection, the officials of the treas
ury cash room were undecided as tu
their genuineness, and only after the
notes bad been soaked in hot water,
when the two pieces forming the
front and back OF the note came apart
were convinced of the fraud. The
notes brought over by CreamCr had
been turned into the sub treasury by
two leading banks and the Pniladel-
phia custom house, who had received
them for genuine.
In view OF the dangerous character
OF this counterfeit Secretary Gage,
decided To stop issuing and To call in
all 800 silver certificates, OF which
there are about S26, 900, 600 outstand-
ing. These will be exchanged for
silver certificates OF small denlmina-
tion ana the plates destroyed. As,
sistant treasurers at all of the sub

TO the treasury at Washington all 500
silver certificates In their possession,
