GIFT TO LIBRARY FUND
w. B. Ayers Donation Doubles the
Amount in the Hands of the
State Commission.

The funds available for the purchase
of free travelling libraries were doubled
Tuesday, by a donation Of $500 by
". B. Aver, OF Portland. says the
Oregonian. Twenty Oregon towns
may now be supplied with travelling
libraries under the management Of
the Oregon Library Commission.
Only five towns thus far have been
made travelling library statious-Dal-
las being one Of the number.
Dallas is the only town made a
permanent library station, the town
having raised $50 to aid the travelling
library fund The other places are
small communities and will be sup
piled libraries as long as the COM
mission deems it best to continue the
service. The rule has been established
that towns able 10 do so will be re-
quired to pay the cost of one library,
$50, before being made permanent
library station. By paying this sum,
a town secures a library Of so volumes,
which it may keep six months and
then exchange it for new library.
In addition TO the travelling library,
Dallas will have permanent library,
the same to be under the control Of
the board of directors appointed by
the Mayor. Mrs. George T. Gerlinger,
assisted by Mrs. DR. H. l. Toney and
Mrs. 7. A Riggs, have been soliciting
funds for the support Of the free
library and have met with excellent
success. They have completed the
canvass Of the business district, apd
will now proceed TO make a house-to-
house visit through the residence por-
tion Of the town. They will report the
result of their work at the first meet
ing of the directors, which will
probably be called for some night
next week. Everybody seems anxious
to aid the free library movement, and,
as a result of this generosity, the
people of Dallas will have a plentiful
supply Of good reading matter when
the library is opened next month.

That the demand for the new folder
advertising Polk county will be heavy
is indicated by the many requests
that are already being received for
them from all parts of the county.
The contents Of the folder were re-
produced In last weeks OBSERVER,
and 100 extra copies were called for
and given out to subscribers before
Saturday night All OF these papers
were sent to people living in the
eastern states. The folders will be
distributed from the Polk county booth
in Portland until the close Of the ex-
position, and any copies remaining
on hand at that time will probably be
divided among the various commercial
bodies OF the county. 1t is expected
that many requests for literature ad-
vertising Polk county will be received
within the next two years from people
living in the eastern and middle
states, and the new advertising folder
will be given wide distribution.

Chairman Baker has issued a call
for meeting Of the Republican State
Central Committee in Portland, Octo-
Der 12. He says the meeting is not
for the purpose Of promoting the con-
vention idea, but to bring the warning
factions Of the party together in a
sort Of love-feast. The members of
the State Committee are requested to
invite representative Republicans and
aspirants for state and district offices
in their respective counties to attend
and participate Good idea, Brother
Bakeri Harmony is mighty good
thing-especially in political party.
1t is really to be regretted that the
faction that dominated the Republican
party in Oregon for so many years,
and until the recent sad catastrophe
within its ranks, didn't hit on this
"peace conference" idea before. It
ould have been good thing for all
Of US, and might have been the means
OF keeping some of the best offices in
the state out OF the hands of our
enemy, the Democrats. But it is
better later than never, and, since
Brother Baker has requested 1t, we
will all be found in line plugging for
peace and singing that good old hymn
that has for its opening verse, "How
sweet for brethren to agree!"

Hop picking has commenced in a
number of Polk county yards and will
become general by the last of the week,
The vines are free from vermin, and
1t Is expected that the quality will be
good. If fair weather prevails, the
harvest will last about ten days. The
streets of Dallas have been crowded
with pickers this week, and the
merchants have been busy selling
them supplies. Old Polk is scene Of
great activity just at this season Of
the year, and several hundred
thousand dollars will be paid out for
labor in the next two weeks.

Apples are not SO plentiful in the
local market as they were before the
County Inspector served notice on the
farmers and merchants to sell no
more wormy fruit The shortage IN
quantity, however, is more than made
up by the improvement in quality,
and no difficulty is experienced in
finding a sale for apples and pears
that are free from disease or insect
pests. The inspectors have evidently
made up their minds to enforce the
provisions Of the new law to the letter.
and scarcely day passes that diseased
fruit Is not siezed and condemned in
some county in the state. This vigil
ance on the part Of the officers may
work a hardship upon a few farmers
this Fall, but it is the general
opinion that the law will prove a
blessing in the long run, in that it
will force the growers to give proper
care and attention to their orchards
and place the fruit industry on a
profitable basis.

was Of considerable length. He strong
~ recommended extension Of missionary
work, and that special attention be

Spiritualists of Michigan, which the
president asserted were 10000 in num-
Der, were censured for failing to aid
financially. in the defense of the cele-
DRAFTED Golf will, which gave a bequest
Of over $2O,000to The Michigan Associa-
ton Of Spiritualists. This is being con-
tested in the courts, and President Bar
rett recommended that the national as
ISOLATION make ample financial provision
for protection Of the Request to the
cause Of spiritualism.s President Bar
rett recommended the appointment
of a special committee to draft an
amendment to the national constitu-
ton which would definitely state that
the association was a religious body, as
this point had been attacked in the
courts the past year. = - -
President Barrett urged missionary
work in Cuba and Porto Rico. He said,
"This is a splendid opportunity for
some full trance medium or sneaker to
do good work. He can use English in
his normal state, and submit to the con
troll of some eloquent excarnate Spanish
orator in addressing our Spanish-speak-
ing brethren Of the Antilles.'
