BOOKS COLLECTED
CARLOAD OF OLD OFFICIAL STATE
 RECORDS ON HAND.
Department of Archives and History Develops New Line of Activ- fty in Collection and
 Distribution.

Piles of books a carload or more, 50, 900 In all, statistical books, law books. hand books, maps, reports and all of them about Alabama, have been collected by the State Department of Archives and History during the last few months, when the various offices of the Capitol were re-arranged and re- organized.
 The books, which are placed syste- lnatically in great bins in the base ,ment of the new wing of the Capitol. are official, non-salable publications of the State, and many are interesting be- cause of age and historic associations.
 Dr. Thomas M. owen, Director of the Department of Archives and History, announces that he is prepared to dis tribute, to students, business men, com- mercial organizations. libraries in Ala hama, State and public libraries out side of Alabama. or to any person or association~ desirous of completing a set or Of acquiring means of informa- ton upon various phases of Alabama's economic life. any of the publications thus collected.
 The department realized some months ago. that 1t was desirable to centralize all surplus of old official State publi- cations. The publications. that is the non-sa fable publications, were collect cd. arranged and classified.
 In the collection there were obtained copies of old codes House and Senate Journals of by-gone legislative sessions, reports of State auditors, treasurers, superintendents of education, railroad commissions, attorneys general, of the insurance department, agricultural de- partment, tax commissions. adjutants general. boards of health, convict board inspectors of mines and jails, state ge- ological surveys. special publications and hand books, etc.
 Very few of the files, which repre-. sent arduous labor in the collection and systematizing. are complete in the entirety. but the copies that have been obtained in the general house cleaning are valuable in many instances. Cop les of various of the publicati s1s will be sent out by pr. owen. to libraries of prominence in many sections, that economic Alabama may find student.
 By the collection and classification of the publications a hitherto unknown activity of the department has been de- veloped, and one that will work to the benefit.

Francisco concerns was made by local
makers of brick.
I'VE have to pay SIS more thousand
in Los Angeles than we do in San Fran
cisco. The price was never reduced to
a corresponding figure" said Mr.
Eckardt. Besides, we purchased our
terra Gotta in San Francisco from tho
same company and in this way got
the low price for our brick. We could
not get the terra Gotta in Los Angeles.
The brick samples were inspected by
the architects and approved. The brick
used in the building must come up to
the samples. We contend that the
brick from San Francisco is not only
cheaper than sthe Los Angeles brick,
but much better"
And yet, when people pass the hall
of records in it's course of construc-
ton. they will wonder why when they
read the signs, "This was furnished by
So-and-So of San Francisco" and,
"This by So-and-So" of some other
place than Los Angeles, and wondering.
the thought will doubtlessly occur, how
much better would it have been Il
building paid for with the taxes or the
county'g citizens could show in its con
struction the results of the genius ana
labor of these taxpayers.
