the 1900 persons who now have the
privilege of all the books that may be
obtained under the rules of the IL
orary, it would not seem difficult to
get contributions of from so cents to
81 from each person having the vel
fare of the library at heart, and thus
secure a fund of at least $1,000 an
nually, in addition to the money from
the county library fund.
On the theory hat there is happi-
ness in contributing to the support of
institutions that one believes to be in
dispensable to progressive civilization,
we respectfully submit the foregoing
for the consideration of the citizens of
Albany county.

THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS.

Although the action of the senate
rial caucus has been a foregone conclu-
sion for many months, yet 1t was new
~ertheless gratifying to the people OF
the state to have assurance absolutely
sure that Senator Warren would sue
coed himself in the senate of the Unit
ed States. The fact that there was
not a single Dissenting republican vote
shows how the senator stands with the
people of Wyoming.
Laws may be changed in future so
that senators will be elected by direct
vote of the people. but no man will
ever be elected more directly by the
will of the people than was Senator
Warren. From every section of the
state the demand came for his return
and the action of the party leaders
was merely a carrying out of the gen
eral public will.
The actual election will take place

LIBRARIANS REPORT

Laramie, Wyo., January 2, 1907.
The Honorable Board OF County Com
~missIoners, Albany County. Wyo.
Gentlemen II beg to submit the fol-
lowing as the report of the librarian
Of the Carnegie public library, Albany
county, for the seven months beginning
June l. 1906:
The number of persons drawing
books from the library is 1,249.
The number of books drawn Is H.
995.
The average number Of books drawn
daily is Sc.
The library was closed during six
weeks of July and August for the loan
ing of books because of fear of spread
ing an infectious disease.
The books were all fumigated. The
reading rooms remained open.
The percentage Of fiction to the to-
tai number of books drawn is S1.5, a
decrease in the amount Of fiction drawn
of rs per cent since my last report.
The number of volumes purchased
is 270.
The number of volumes donated
is ~.
The number of books that have dis,
appeared from the shelves is 8.
The number of unbound government
maps, pamphlets, reports, etc, receiv
ed is 159.
The number of bound government
| volumes received is So.
The total number of unbound books
in the library is 1908.
The total number of bound volumes
in the library is 1856.
The total amount of fines and dam.
ages collected for the year is $33.11
Expenditures for the year is $21S5
Paid over to treasurer of board, $11.26
(See list appended.)
Earnings of books on ten cent list
is s23.SO. Number of books purchased
eighteen, at a cost of S2O.52. Cash on
hand $3.SS. CSee account a%ppended)
The average number of persons Wis
ting the library each day is 103.
While the difficulty of getting books
out into the country districts is still
much felt, the number of books going
into the country is increasing.
The use of the reading rooms is in
creasing, as is also the number of per
sons who come to the library for refer
ences and for information.
The great need of the library is more
books, especially to be able to buy sew
eral copies of the books most in de
mand.
The librarian believes that the best
manner to get into touch with the
country districts is to send out a wag
on at stated intervals to deliver and
receive boxes of books.
Respectfully yours,
w. S. INGHAM,
Librarian.

partially supplied with books. has been
a continuous and pleasant surprise to
the board of trustees. from the time
of the opening of the Carnegie library
building.
There are more than 1,249 persons
now receiving books from the library
This is a larger number than the whole
attendance at the public schools In
Laramie.
The advantage that the library read
.ng rooms offer in the matter OF study
s appreciated by a constantly increas-
ing number.
The extremely limited opportunity
for research work possible with the
present supply of the necessary books
checks to quite an extent the benefit
that would otherwise accrue from
such work. AS it is. research along
certain lines is attracting he atten-
ton of persons who are past school
age, or cannot attend regularly any
other educational Institution. Thus 1t
will be seen what a factor the free Ii
brary may become in the diffusion OF
knowledge.
1t seems unnecessary to refer to the
benefit and pleasure that the several
| hundred readers have, who APP
| preciate the opportunity that the Ii
| brary offers. When 1t is understood
| by those who, as yet, are not patrons
Of the library that each person over 10
| years of age may have the pleasure
and profit from the use of fifty or
| more books each year, the saving in
money % families who desire to keep
| abreast of the times will be more fully
| appreciated.
The trustees are considering meth
DDS for strengthening the library more
rapidly than the fund received from
the county will permit. The first &C
lion will be the appointment of com
mittees, each committee to have a
specific duty in the matter of the Sc
lection of books, each n all of the
committees to consult with the trus-
tees, at such times as it may be con-
venient, on any point that seems i'm
portant to increase the usefulness of
the library as a part of IL local edu-
cational system, system being as nee
essary in securing to the public the
greatest benefits from the library as
it is in keeping the public schools at
the best standard.
The library fund not being sufficient,
it is the hope of the trustees that each
citizen who enjoys the advantages OF
the library will constitute himself or
herself a committee of one to contrib
ute or secure contributions to be ap,
piled to the purchase of books, each
contributor having the privilege of de-
termining the purchase of the book or
books his contribution shall be ap'
piled to.
1t is believed that by united effort
for the next three years the Albany
county public library may be made a
model library for a community of II,
900 to $4,000 people.
There has already been an offer by
one person to contribute $3.50 if the
general reading public will raise $3.50
additional, all for the purchase Of
books.
When it is considered that each Of

A New Year Greeting by the Library
Trustees.

The limited income of the Albany
county free library, from the county
library fund, has ever made 1t neces-
sary for the library trustees to select
only such books n periodicals as
has seemed absolutely Indispensable,
as a starting point to extend a better
equipped library from.

COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Laramie Household Will Find
Them So.

To have the pains and aches of a bad
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. To tell how this great
change can be brought about will prove
comforting words to hundreds of Lar
annie readers.
Mrs. F. NJ. Miller, 16G north Railroad
street, Laramie, Wyo., says: -Four
years G l had an attack Of typhoid
fever and it left me with an extreme
weakness across the kidneys. My back
was the same as useless, being devoid
of strength. 1 could not rise after stoop-
ing without taking hold of something
for support. Added to this weakness
was pain in the region of the kidneys
and loins. l was suffering intensely
when a friend recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills to me and | bought a box.
They helped ME so much that | got a
second box and was completely reliev'
ed of the trouble. Early this summer
Mr.. Miller procured Doan's Kidney
Pills from the Laramie Drug company
and took them for pain in his back
which he had been subject to for some
time. Their use in his case as in mine
gave perfect satisfaction"
