Bids Will Be Re. ceived for Erec-. tiOn of Build
 ing.

Bids will be received tomorrow for the construction of the handsome Carnegie Library building in Montgomery. Plans and specifications for the new building have been accepted by the Library As sociation and The Advertiser presents today a general view of the building.
 The library will be located on the corn CT of Adams and Perry Streets, and it is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy by October l.
 The plans are made by York & Sawyer of New York. Frank Lockwood of Mont gomery, Is consulting architect and has charge of the erection of the building.
 The building, when completed, will cost s5O.OOo, It will be model of beauty and will be fitted with steam heat electric light and every modern convenience.
 This structure will be a monument to the memory of Andrew Carnegie, the great philanthropist to whom Montgom- erians are indebted for this library. A years ago Mir. Carnegie offered to give SJo,W0 for the erection of q public libra ry in Montgomery provided the citizens would furnish the site and the City Coun- cil would appropriate $5000 annually for it's maintenance. The Council readily year and by popular subscription among the citizens over $14.0OO was raised
 The lot which is 160 feet on Perry Street and l60 feet on Adams Street. cost Sl2,0O0. The other $2,o90 will be used in putting the property in proper condition. The site is located in one of the most fashionable sections of Montgomery. It Is just far enough from the business sec ton of the city to be away from the noise and hustle of commercial life, and at the same time it is centrally located. Residences surround the site and street cars are several blocks away. hence the ncignborhood is quiet and an ideal place for reading.
 The library is to be strictly free and will have a capacity of 5000 volumes. Its opening will mark an epoch in the history of Montgomery.
 Description of Building.
 The building will be of stone with cop per and slate roof. It will front on South Perry Street 75 feet and will have a depth of SU feet and will be two stories high. -@
 The structure will be of French classic in architecture. Across the freiZe of the front of the building will be carved

It is pronounced in Colbert, Lawrence. Morgan and Franklin coun- ties, extending into Tishomingo County, Mississippi then disappearing to show up again in Texas.
 Extent of Oil Territory.
 The Tennessee Valley oil fields of North Alabama extend from Morgan County west through Lawrence, Franklin and Colbert '1unties, following the trend of the foothills ,of the Cunb arland ridge, which runs out in Tishomingo County. the extreme northeast corner of Mis- sissippi. These oil measures dip from the nu1 theast to southwest, and again appear Ill west Lauderdale County. but show a great depth, possibly from 200 to 5000 feet.

About 200 yards east is an- other we'll which was bored a short time before for salt water and is called the "Salt We'll" So much for the various attempts in the past, more or less crude and unscientific, to find oil. These op- erations in, the opinion of some experts, have been too far east from the crop pings and as the Cover and Hartselle thin. This has lead to the boring of wells near Cherokee and Tuscumbia, on the theory that the oil sands will be found nearer the surface and in thicker stratas This theory has already been partially demonstrated by the recent find of Gordon oil sand at 300 feet by the Alabama Ca lifornia oil Company at Cher oI1ee in Colbert County. sts
