MORE BOOKS ADDED TO THE REDDING
LIBRARY.
Since the library was established on
the Ridge in December. 1899, by the
loan of fifty books from the New Eng

grown through the gifts of books from
generous friends. Among the contri
butOrS are Daniel S. Sanford of Brook
line, Mass, Miss Alice briggs of Brook
lyn, and Mrs Henry Sanford and
Henry NanDuzer Of New York. Mrs
Sanford has recently presented the IL

Choice Literature.' and ten volumes
of "Ancient and Modern Europe. =
There are now 1872 volumes in the libra
ry, not counting the books loaned from

Numberof families drawing books.
40.
The books are kept in Whitehead's

ceived from the hands of the printer,
new folder in the interest of Home
seekers and Land Investors. Many
are looking for new homes and for
land investments This folder fur
nishes brief but reliable information

of the states of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana. The OPP
portunities for investments in tho
above mentioned states are unsur-
passed in any part Of this great coun-
try. Homeseekers' excursions to points
within these states are run by the
Illinois Central the first and third
Tuesday of every month, at rate of
one fare plus So and these excursions
should be taken advantage of by ev-
eryone in search of a home or invest

STAMP CLAIMS NOT VALID.
Recent Revenue Decision in Regard to
Them-Says Presentation Useless.

bhSii"Soyo fiSSSIlkdlloI SSClSSSs
In order to make the situation more
plain in regard to the redemption of
stamps on proprietary articles, the fol-
lowing statement has been issued by
the revenue department at Washing
ton:
"a claim for redemption of stamps
on proprietary articles on hand July J.,
when the new law took effect repeal
ing the tax on articles mentioned in
Schedule B, has been received by the
commissioner of internal revenue. The
claim is made out on blank form not
prepared or printed by the govern
ment. From the presentation of the
claim it is evident that the question of
the redemption of stamps on propri-
etary articles is not fully understood
in some sections. Such stamps afiix-
ed to packages which have never been
removed from the place of manufac-
ture can be presented for redemption
on the forms prescribed by the treas
ury department and will receive con-
sideration. When the stamped arti-
cles have been removed from the place
of manufacture the stamps thereon
cannot be redeemed, and claims for
their redemption cannot be favorably
considered. 1t is stated by the Off
Gals of the internal revenue bureau
that unless this class of claims is be-
ing prepared with view to securing
congressional action, it will be waste
Of time and expense to get them UP
for presentation to the government"

THE cHAIRMAN's SPEECH.
Address to Democratic Convention by
Judge e. G. Moon.

Judge e. G. Moon.
Judge Moon said:
"Mr Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Conventions In assuming the po-
sition assigned me, desire to express
my hearty appreciation of the honor
conferred upon me. In point of years
of service in the ranks of the democ-
racy there are many here present to
whom / must yield precedence, but
be. that as it may, as representative
of the younger democracy of the
county most thoroughly impressed
with the truth that the principles of
the party lie close to the foundation
principles of the republic, I place my
self at your service with feelings of
gratitude for the opportunity of SO
doing.
"The history of popular government
throughout the world demonstrates a
tendency of departure from the prin-
ciples and practices which gave them
origin and an approach to plin.
ciples and practices most antagonis-
| tic to them. This general historic
fact finds no exception in the United
States. At various times since the
auopliou vi oui constitution tne mani
festation OF this tendency has been
clear and strong and in every instance
| it has met the unfaltering opposition
OF the historic party Of the people
which has stood as wall against ali
forms of entertainments upon popular
rights. Whether in power or out OF
power the democratic party has never
failed to marshall the forces of popu,
lar right in its defense and its conser-
lyatiye course has been the conserving
