 a balance of s90S7 to be used for the benefit of the library. The monthly re- ports of the librarian and secretary showed the library to have done more business during January than ever be- fore. over 400 readers having availed | tn mseIyes of the books. The dona- tion of MT. J. D. Dort of $50 which was recently made to the library was ! set aside as a spec al fund to be used in establishing a department to be known as the "Dort Donation" in which only scientific books will be
 used. Through the courtesy of Mrs
 Walter Talbot the library was the recipient of g volumes of Brittanica eHcyclOpeuld, anu d Nott oL 'h"iih' was extended her for the magnifiaenl | gift. Such acts are not only appre- | cia.ed by the directors but by the
 whole community and the spirit whicf ! prompted Mrs. Talbot in making this | gift should be followed by others oi | our good citizens. In this way the h. brary would be well supplied and in q | very short time become one of the very I best institutions in rhe territory.
