A meeting of the board of trustees
of the Carnegie public library was
held yesterday, with the following
members present: w. II. Holiday,
president; Mrs. Downey and Eli
Crumrine, also w. S. Ingham, secre.
tary. c. P. Arnold was absent from
the city.
The hours during which the library
is to be kept open was n of the ques-
lions discussed, and it was decided
that the hours shall be from 2 o'clock
p. m. until s o'clock p. N. The same
hours were also decided upon for the
reading rooms, unless a demand be.
comes apparent for later hours in the
evening.
1t was the opinion of the board that
the public should be burdened with as
few rules as possible in the use of the
building, and the only rule adopted for
the conduct of the reading rooms was
as follows: THE librarian will have
charge of the library building, and it
will be his duty to see that no loud or
boisterous conduct is allowed, and that
those persons who come for the pur-
pose of study and reading are not dis
turbed by others. In fact, all persons
are expected to conduct themselves in
the building as ladies and gentlemen"
The board also stated that it would be
taken for granted that there would be
no smoking in the building.
In regard to the issuing of cards fol-
the library, the following rule was
adopted: "All residents of Albany
county will be allowed a card, which
will entitle the holder to the use Of
the library. All persons under age
must be recommended by their parents
or guardians, who will be held respon
sible for damage to books. All persons
not known to the librarian must be
recommended by some responsible per
son. Non-residents, in order to obtain
the price of books, which will be re
turned when the books are returned"
The date upon which the library is
to be opened was not definitely decid'
ed upon, the matter being deferred I'M
til Mr.. Arnold returns from the coun'
try and until it is known when the new
books will arrive.
1t was decided that the following
periodicals be ordered for the reading
rooms: Atlantic Monthly, Scribner':
Magazine, The Century Magazine, ThC
Outlook, The Breeders Gazette, Thu
Review of Reviews, The Youths Com
panion, Golfers Weekly and The Ii
brary Journal.
In addition to the other magazine
promised to the library, the followin:
have been contributed: Harper's Mag
azine by the Laramie Woman's club
and Munsey's and McClure's by Mrs
C. w. Taylor.
Several fine potted plants have latel!

eral inspectors cause all sheep to
be dipped prior to shipment from
this state.
In Montana which has more
sheep than any other state in the
union, very little scab exists. This
desirable state of affsirs was
brought about only through the
enforcement of proper laws which
we're gotten up and backed up by
sheepmen themselves.
At the last session of the Idaho
legislature a law was passed max
ing it compulsory to dip all sheep
before leaving the winter ranges
This law also requires that this
dipping must be done under state
supervision in order to accomplish
thorough work.
If Oregon sheepmen would take
similar steps, scabies would soon
begin to disappear.
There is no room for complaint
over the action of the government
in this matter. It is q condition
that must be met and cannot
bring anything but beneficial re-
suits to an important industry.
Under the circumstances the man
who owns sheep not infected can
we'll afford to dip, while the
grower who has sheep infected
with scables should be compelled
to.

NO ROOM FOR COMPLAINT.

The recent ruling of the federal
authorities in which all sheep
must be dipped prior to shipment
is causing some discomfort among
Morrow county sheepmen.
A little inquiry and investiga-
tion reveals the fact that the rul-
ing is based on good judgment and
will ultimately result in benefit to
the sheep industry in the state of
Oregon.
For several years the states of
Idaho, Wyoming and Montana
have had in force very stringent
laws against the spread of scabies.
The results are that these states
have made good headway in
stamping out a disease that is a
great menace to the sheep in.
dustry. The state Of Oregon has
been somewhat careless on this
very important matter to the
sheep business. Very little head
way has been made against the
ravages of scabies in this state.
This condition of affairs has caused
just protest from our neighbor
states, where they feel that they
should have protection when they
are doing all that they can to get
rid of disease that is causing
much injury to their business.
The matter has gone 30 far that
the states that are protected by
good laws have built a wall in the
shape of a quarantine against Ore
gon sheep. No better conclusion
nor remedy could be reached for
the difficulty than the fact that
these objections have been with
drawn on condition that the fed
