GEORGE BOWERMAN'S IDEA

That Washington may know how 20
select the books it gives tor Christmas
presents. scores and scores Of beautifully
bound and printed volumes both large
and small, are on exhibition at the Pub
lie Library. All the readable parch-
ments. from history and tragedy 10 fic-
uiOn and comedy, line the walls of a
room which has been set aside especial-
ly for the purpose. And IL is not only
the books which tend 20 make the room
20 attractive, for many original illus
trations and reprints OF the illustrations
IN the books are 20 be found there also.
Idea of Mr.. Bowerman.
This interesting exhibition Is the idea
Of George +. Bowerman. librarian of the
Public Library, Its purpose is to show
the public which books 10 buy and
which not TO buy. Every volume OF the
years publications and many of years
agone, which are suitable IN any way
Tor children, young men and women.
middle-aged and old people. are there.
Fairy tales TO delight the youngsters.
and thousand and one thoughts for
others are on display and their best
points are shown.
Since books are a favoiite gift for
Christmas" said AT Bowerm4n. and as
there are SO many books of all classes
published and put on the shelves Of
dealers. IL is hard 10 discriminate. AS
Il result. many unworthy books are
given 10 children and young people
The object of this exhibition" he
continued. is 90 show the public what
Is best The books We have chosen are
set forth in a 16-page catalogue and
have been carefully selected. Little new
fiction Is represented in the collection.
and in the material for adults new or
comparatively recent editions OF stand
ard literature form the majority OF the
books included"
Publishers Cooperation.
Without the cooperation Of the pub
fishers IL would have been impossible
10 prepare the exhibition. Many con-
Germs have furnished numerous books
and Illustration. Many of the original
sketches that appear iu the volumes
have been loaned 10 Mr.. BowermaH by
the publishers, and they have added
beauty % the collection.
Mr.. BOwerman said today that he
was sure of the success of the under
taking. 4 similar exhibit was given in

RAILROADS MAY CONSOLIDATE.
The Tampa Northern and Gainesville
and Gulf i'm a Deal.

The Tampa Northern and Gainesville
and Gulf i'm a Deal.
Jacksonville, Oct. 5.-An effort is
being made to .consummate a deal
whereby the Tampa Northern and
the Gainesville & Gulf Railroad will
be under one management. The
Tampa Northern is building from
BrooksVille to Tampa, and the
Gainesville & Gulf Railroad already
complete between Samson City on
the Georgia Southern G. Florida to
Irwin, near Oeala, a distance of 46
miles, will pass through practically
the same territory and parellel each
other unless a deal is made and the
two roads are to be consolidated.
A meeting of a number of the di-
reetors of the two roads was held
here few days ago and the Gaines
vile & Gulf offered the Tampa
Northern all that it had expended
and a bonus of 100000 to sell.
This proposition was refused, the d.
reetors of the Tampa Northern stat
ing that they considered their prop
osition worth much more than the
price and the inducement offered.
1t is the intention of the owners of
the Tampa Northern to push their
road on to Crystal River at once and
from Their north to connect with
some of the roads in Southwest Geor-
gia- 1t is believed that an outlet to
the west for Tampa will be of great
value to any railroad and will re-
suit in bringing a great deal of bust
ness to that port.
In the meantime the Gainesville &
Gulf Railroad passes through one of
the most fertile sections of the State,
and has been doing a big business in
the hauling of fruits and vegetables.
While the road has never been a pay
ing investment, it is believed that by
extending it few miles farther
south it will be made to pay.
The Tampa Northern has every
probability of success. There is a
large area of the finest timbered
lands along the right Of way and a
number of turpentine farms, phos-
plate plants and sawmiIls. When
the road has been completed to Tam
pa it is believed that is will be one
OF the best pieces of railroad prop
erty in Florida.
1t is said on good authority that
the Tampa Northern does not desire
to deal with the owners Of the
Gainesville & Gulf, believing that it
has the better proposition.
Another meeting of the directors
of the two roads will be held. when
the matter is to be again considered.
