effected; and the larger number of
books added at the time of the install
ing of the library in the new building,
together with the saving effected by
the larger purchase, will more than
compensate for the falling off in the
number of regular patrons, which is
perhaps attributable to the failure of
the Board to add new books during
the year.
At special meeting of the Board,
held on the 10Th inst, the book COM
mittee was instructed to prepare a
suggestive list of books, and like
list of periodicals, the books and per-
iodicals to be purchased and subscrlb-
ed for at cost not to exceed $500
and the books to be delivered on or
about April 1st, 1905, before which
time the Board hopes to have the lib
rary installed in the new building.
The report of this Board for the
year ending Dec. 31st, 1908, closed
with an expression of hope that the
annual report for 1904 might chronicle
the building in the City of Morris of a
Carnegie Free Public Library Build
ing, at cost of $40, 900, and they fur
Their hope that the same would be
provided with permanent income OF
at least 81 900. 1t is with great pleas
ure that the Board of Directors of the
Morris Public Library thus officially
report to the Honorable City Council
that the Carnegie Free Public Library
Building of the city of Morris is now
approaching completion; thati it will
be completed and ready for occupancy
not later than March 1st, 1905; that
the $4,000 promised by Mr.. Carneg-
lie, part of which has already been
received and paid over to the con-
tractors, will in all PROBABILITY cover
the cost of erecting the building, in
stalling the hot water heating plant,
and furnishing the building with a
suitable equipment of library furni-
ture and fixtures. The Board feels
confident that for the amount OF
money received and expended by it
for the building and it's fixtures as
aforesaid, the result cannot be ex-
celled, and has not been excelled in
any of the smaller cities of the State
of Minnesota, which have been fortu-
nate enough to share in Mr.. Carne-
gie's generosity.
The board wishes to lay before the
Council suggestion relative to the
manner of accounting for, the receipt
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1905-01-07

and disbursement of the library fund
by the city treasurer and the secretary
of the board. All moneys received
in the regular course of business go
direct to the city treasurer, and the
secretary of the board has no report
of such receipts. On the other hand,
all moneys belonging to the library
fund are disbursed by an order signed
and issued by the president and Sec
rotary of the board and drawn upon
the City Treasurer.
The board respectfully requests that
the City Treasurer be required by the
proper resolution of the Honorable
City Council to report to the secretary
of the board, on Dec. 10Th of each
year, the condition of the library fund
at that date, said report of the said
treasurer to the library board to be a
detailed exhibit of the receipts and
disbursements of the library fund from
and including the first of the preced-
ing January.
The laws of the state require the
library board to submit a report such
as this one, on or before Dec. 31st of
each year. Under the present loose
system, the secretary of the board is
at some inconvenience, and must of
necessity cause the city treasurer
some inconvenience in preparing the
report as to the condition of the libra
ry fund. If the treasurer were re-
quired to make an official report such
as is herein suggested, the incon-
venience would be obviated, the board
| would have in its files official annu;
reports of the library fund, and TIE
financial part of the annual report
the. library board to the City Council
would be based. upon something Of
fetal.
This recommendation has been made
j to several preceding councils, and has
been for some reason disregarded by
all of them. This is the first time that
it has been presented to the present
City Council; and the board most
earnestly requests that the City Coun-
Gil consider this suggestion, and take
some action relative thereto.
Trusting that the administration Of
it's trust by the board of Directors Of
the Morris Public Library may be sat-
isfactory to the Honorable City Coun-
Gil, and this report may meet with due
approval, the same is respectfully
submitted on behalf of the said board

During the year now closing no
books have been added by gift, none
have been loaned other than in the
ordinary circulation among the regu-
lar library patrons, and twenty have
been worn out or are missing. There
are about 200 regular patrons of the
library, and the average number of
books loaned per month is 200.
No books have been purchased dur
ing the year because the Board has
considered it the better policy to wait
until the new Carnegie building was
completed and ready for occupancy,
and then purchase as large number
of new books as the funds available
would permit. By purchasing books
i'm this manner, quite a saving can be

ALASKA LIBRARY
 HAS CARETAKER

The Alaska library now has home and librarian al, it's own. The home is iu the second story Of the customs house, over the postoaice, and the libr- arian is Leo NahokOf. He received the appointment from Gov. Brady, but will have to be confirmed by congress- before the position will become official and carry a salary.
 Few people are aware Alaska boasts a library of 10000 valumes. It is a fact nevertheless. Laura Jean Libbey, nor Conan Doyle, nor even Richard Hard ing Davis figure as the authors of any of these books. They are all books of reference, including history, travel and government, state and territorial re- ports.-Sitka Cablegrau.

ROOSEVELT AND THE 2oUTH

It Is 10 wonder President Roosevelt is making himselipopular in the South, but it will not be strange if he gains that popularity at the expense of the favor Of the narrower classes in the North. h thecourse speech deliver ed down in Georgia to au audience to which he was introduced by Senator Alexander Stephens Clay, iu referring to the civil war, he said:
 Al Americans who are worthy the name feel an equal pride in the valor of those who fought on one side or the other. provided only that each did with all his might and soul and mind his duty as it was given him to see his duty"
 However, while that position may sound strange as emsnatiug from man in high station, surrounded by men who talked so much of rebel brigadters 8 few years ago, it is directly in line with the writings of later day histor- ians. Henry Cabot Lodge, the Poi- tician and historian, who represents in part Massachusetts in the United States senate, has written and spoken from President Rooseyelt's standpoint for a great many years.
