Andrew Carnegie gave o. 63I. 800 for
public and college Libraries last year. sn-
cording to figures just Cornpilsi. This
brought his total gifts for libraries in all
countries up TO s49.0l5.022
Mr.. Carnegie is very secretive about his
benefactions of this sort and ds1iss in
formation about them 20 all inluirers His
private secretary. indeed, says tha, the OK
penditures for Libraries ere sst down on
pages that arc largely occupied by Other
items, and that even Mr.. Carnegie doesn't
know how much he has given for any
particular purpose.
The Library J0urpul. however, keeps
close tab on Mr.. Carnegie's gifts TO libraries,
and receiving reports from all parts Of
the worldis able TO give fairly accurate
list. which il does in it's current number.
Here are some Of the facts contained in
the report
Mr.. Carnegie made original gifts to
seventy-six library buildings, including
two branches in the United States, in 1907,
the total being 1898 100. To twenty-nine
libraries which previously had received
funds from him he gave an additional
s2s3.7O
In Canada nine libraries received original
gifts Of SIS, 800 and one got an increase OF
$4,000 In the United States and Canada
together Mr.. Carnegie gave t0Os. 800 for
eishLy-lve now municipal library buildings
and gave a supplementary .S297, 100 to thirty
municipal libraries
In the limited Kingdom he Rave S2OI pOO
for thirteen new libraries and s25, $50 for
twelve Libraries previously contributed to.
His original gifts in England and Wales
amounted to eSS. .255. which provided for
eight buildings. Increases were provided
for nine libraries. the total being "a SS4.
His total gifts to libraries in Scotland
were q, l27. In Ireland the ironmaster
provided two buildings at a cost Of e. 800.

1901 the sprinters were started on ore

hurdles They ran FIVE yards more than
the distance. and what called attention to

The officials had the distance measured

-One Of the strangest records in the book
ia that OF Al Copland's for running I2Ik

COPELAND started before the gun went Oft

the distance to be = OF a yard short Of

Branner and Prof. Fairchild say that IL
the phenomena here are not of meteorio
origin they form the most interesting
geological puzzle of the present time.
Fragments Of meteoric iron are scattered
for miles around the crater. though they
have no relation 10 the rocks forming the
plain. The rim of the crater, which rises
about sixty feet above the plain, is formed
OF the native rocks that were pushed out
at the sides and heaped up az the meteor
buried itself far beneath the surface.
II might be supposed that an object ca
pable OF producing this great depression
would have ground the rock beneath il to
dust, and this seems TO have been the case.
The greater part Of the rock debris on
the outer slopes OF the crater rim are in
the shape Of very fine quartz powder. and
the same material occupies the pit to a
depth Of several hundred feet and much
Of IL Ia as fine as flour.
The collision probably occurred tens of
thousands Of years ago in tertiary times,
long before man had made his advent.
The world just pushed along its course as
though nothing had happened, and probably
the seisnlographs at Albany and Toronto
would have recorded only faint tremors II
they had been in service, but IL was the
most sudden and unexpected attack ever
made on Arizona.
DR.. Fairchild suggests that the name
OF the pit be changed to Meteor Crater as
Coon Butte Is wholly inappropriate.

men moving restlessly aboIt, mostly AeXi-

fridge belts and guns. On the surrounding
hills were men standing sentinelhke. They
also had cartridge belts and guns. And
all about were sheep and more sheep. and
the tinkle Of sheep bells and the ~baa" Of
lambs filed the air.
Il was the great sheep army moving
from the summer range in the Rocky Noun
tains in western Colorado TO the winter
range on the high plateau Of eastern Utah.
And the cartridge belts and the guns and the
guards on the surrounding hills were all
evidences Of the fact that this great mass
of p. 900 sheep was being trailed through
a hostile cattle country. where the cow
men had sworn To exact vengeance from
any sheepman who crossed the dead line"
No such daring moye has ever been
made in the history Of the West. For years
the unorganized sheepmen have suffered
depredations a. the hands Of the we'll or
Raniled cattlemen. The country divided
by the Colorado-U Utah line has heen
one Of the backgrounds between these
conflicting interests OF the open range.
Time after time when herders have crossed
dead lines" drawn by the Cattlemen
cowboys have visited the camps OF the
offending herders and have killed the sheep,
burned the wagon and driven the men
back with stern orders never to return.
The climax was reached in April OF last
year, when one night on Indian Creek. In
western Colorado, Peter Swanson, a young
sheep herder. was murdered by cattlemen.
swanson was accompanied by his brother
and a man named Gourlay. These two
men were in camp with Swanson when a
band OF armed cattlemen rode up and called
TO them TO surrender. Gourlay and Peter
Swanson's brother were bound hand and
foot without resistance, but Peter hesitated.
But before the herder had chance 70 draw
a weapon he was shot, one OF the horsemen
getting down out Of his saddle m order 20

ing the man the horseman rode away IN
tho darkness leaving two OF the herd0rs
bound hand and foot and the other fatally
wounded. Finally the men who were bound
managed 10 get themselves free and carried
swanson to the nearest ranch house, but
the young heder died in few hours.
Swanson's killing aroused the sheepmen
OF Colorado to frenzy. The western Wool
Growers Association offered $4,000 reward
for the apprehension Of the slayers Of the
