WASHINGTON WANTS FARMERS
Says Governor Hay in Article Pub
lished in Chicago Tribune


1t is always natural and proper for
governors in general to entertain OPP
timistic feelings regarding the pres
ent advantages and future possibili-
ties of the commonwealth in which
they have been so highly honored
by the voting population. 1t is new
ertheless true that when such opti-
mism is not based on sound facts and
fundamental conditions as they ac-
tually exist it cannot be expected to
carry any weight or exert influence.
In order to reach the conclusion
that optimism in the state of Wash
ington is thoroughly warranted and
prompted by favorable conditions it
is only necessary for the student of
such things to bear in mind a few of
the pending events which will effect
the entire Pacific coast, and to COM
pare the vast untouched resources Of
Washington with those of equal areas
elsewhere in the world.
Only a comparatively small por-
ton of this state is at present under
cultivation, and yet the lands being
worked are among the the most fer
tile of the entire earth; while the
wide stretches of virgin soil are
shown by the reports of the geologi-
cal survey TO rival the lands that are

many of our city people, who, reading

the country as a restful haven from
the nerve racking duties of the pro-

excellent opportunities for all who
would purchase good lands at reason

of irrigable lands in the eastern part
of the state or lOgged-off lands in the

from individuals. the railroads, the
state, or the federal government If

competence from the soil and are
anxious to get into the city to spend

PLAN CENTRAL OREGON
DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE

The Central oregon Development
league will be organized at a meeting
to be held in Prineville, June 80 to
July /. says the Portland Journal
From Prineville have been issued in
vitations to the various communities
interested and the call will go out Of
ficially in few days from the office
of Secretary G. c. Chapman of the
oregon Development league.
The league, 1t is planned, will co.
operate in every way with the state
organization.
THE value of the smaller develop
ment league" said c. c. Chapman
"is that each operates in its own Sec
ton and ever so much more good will
come from central oregon in being
organized as a unit.
"A separate league will give tina,

Four thousand. five hundred thirty
two books were issued from this de-
partment during the year and more
than half of these were from the nom
fiction classes.
The grade schools were visited in
the fall, the library and its use ex-
planned to the children and a general
| invitation extended to them and their
teachers, to visit the library especial
ly when help was needed in connec-
ton with their work.
A story hour has been conducted
each week on Saturday morning from
| 10 to 1890 o'clock, for the children
between five and ten years of age and
the interest and attendance has been
decidedly gratifying. We sincerely ap-
prciate the assistance We have had
, for this hour, and much of the sue
cess of this work has been due to the
teachers, who have so kindly and WILL
! ingly given their services.
The circulating books from the
school libraries have been turned in
to the public library, an acquisition
which we heartily appreciate. 1t is
to be understood that the teachers
are privileged to borrow these books
in any number as they may have need
for them through the school year, but
during the vacation they will be re-
turned to the library where they Will

brarian until May /, 1910, when she
resigned to accept a position in the
Green Lake branch of the Seattle pub
lie library. September l, 1910, Lotta
L. Fleek of the Wisconsin library
school, class 1910, was elected to the
position vacated by Miss Patterson.
The continued and increasing in
terest in the library, during the past
year, has been shown, not only in the
use of books and the growth in the
number of readers, but also in the
gifts of our friends.
Circulation.
The total number Of books loaned
for home use during the year was 49,
92S, of these 1887 were from the
adult department and 4531 from the
Juvenile room. There was a slight de-
crease in the circulation from the ju-
venile department compared with the
statistical record for 1910. This may
be partially accounted for from the
fact that it was the first year the IL
brary was open. and the fact that we
have had very few new books in this
department may have had some ef-
feet.
On the whole the circulation has
been very satisfactory and we feel
we are serving the public generally
with fair adequacy.
Accessions.
Three hundred fifty-two volumes
have been added to the library during
the year, Of these, II were children's
books, 49 were purchased from the
Sturgis fund, 67 were gifts, and the
remainder were purchased from the
regular library fund.
The total number Of volumes in the
library April 1. 1911, was 47O5. Some
Of the pamphlets, reports and un-
bound books which are not Of perma-
nent value are not included in this
number.
Registration.
Five hundred eleven new borrowers
were registered during the year. 374
adults and 1874 juveniles. Ten nom
resident borrowers were registered
and there have been 10 deposit bor-
rowers since September /.
During the year 39 cards have been

Binding.
Fifty volumes have been rebound.
No accurate account has been kept OF
the mending that has been done, but
all books have been repaired so far
as practical, too much mending un-
fits books for rebnding.
CatalOguing.
All new books have been catalogued
as they have been received and when
ever book has been found on the
shelves, not catalogued or not well
analyzed, the work has been done.
Periodicals.
We now have 23 magazines and 8
daily papers on our reading tables. In
ordering the magazines for this year
The Air Scout" an aeronautic mag
azine, was substituted for Munsey

Reference.

indicates clearly that the library IL
