FIRST BRANCH OF COUNTY
FREE LIBRARY ESTABLISHED
Brawley Has the Distinction of TAX
ing the Lead in This Matter-Fine
Opening Program Was Given

The first branch of the county free
library of Imperial county was estab-
lished at Brawley April Is. A recep-
tion was given by the ladies of the
town and speeches were given and re-
freshments served and a delightful
evening was spent by all who at
tended.
The Woman's Club and the w. c.
T. U. are the organizations to whom
credit is due for the starting and car
rying through of this branch. Mrs.
Gay and Mrs. Best deserve great
praise, for they are the ones who went
around and solicited the subscriptions
to pay expenses for the running of
this branch until September, at which
time the county free library will as
sumo all expenses.
Miss Madison sent down about 200
books for start and will send more
in a few weeks.
j. Stanley Brawn gave splendid
speech and emphasized the value of
an education and the value of the IL
brary in every town.
This speech was followed by a very
charming talk from Miss Pruitt, pres
ident of the Woman's Club
Professor Randall delighted every
one with his usual witty and humor-
Gus remarks.

A Young Engineers Answer to a Gruff
and Persistent Examiner.
A bright young fellow came up for
the cadet engineers examination at
Annapolis one day, and the judges
asked him the usual questions. which
he answered readily enough until one
gruff old fellow frowned at him and
demanded:
How do you say you proceed to get
up steam?"
The cadet glibly described the proc
ess of building the fires, testing the wa
ter in the boilers and all that
"And then?" snapped the examiner
The young fellow twisted his cap in
his hands and thought up few more
details.
"And thenY' rasped the examiner
once more, pursing his lips and looking
as If something important had been
missed.
The cadet did the best he could, slyly
adding such details as that he would
shut the furnace doors after putting
the coal in. The moment he stopped
the same old question burst out:
"And thenT'

Hoaxed the Book Collectors.

Some years ago cruel hoax was
played on the ardent devourers Of
booksellers catalogues. A number of
well known book lovers in France and
Belgium received a catalogue Of Ii
brary to be sold at Binche, a small
town near Mons. There were only 252
items in the catalogue, but all these
were unique examples, for. it was an
nounced. ''the late owner, NJ. de Fort
sas, would destroy any book in his
collection if he ascertained that anoth-
er copy existed" The catalogue, as
may be imagined, caused a sensation
in the book world. On the day ap-
pointed for the sale swarms of collec-
tors. including representatives of sew
eral national libraries. descended on
Binche, only TO find that both De Fort
sas and his bluebird library were
myths.-London Chronicle.

GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE
BELIEVED IMMINENT

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
NEW YORK, April 19.-The threat
ened strike of locomotive engineers
will not be ordered until Monday, if
then. Stone has agreed to wait until
then for an answer.
NEW YORK, April 19-Unless the
managers of railways in the territory
east of Chicago and north of the Ohio
river reconsider before tonight their
flat refusal to raise the wages of en-
gineerS, the worst railroad strike in
the country's history will be precip-
itated Grand Chief Stone of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers
served the ultimatum this morning
He told j. G.. Stuart, vice-president
of the Erie, and chairman of the man
ayers association, that the roads will
have only two hours notice unless
they grant the demands
Stone said he preferred not to con-
slider the managers first answer as
final. The referendum recently taken
among the engineers authorizes the
strike, he said. Stuart had not stated
whether the managers would attempt
to invoke the Erdman act provisions
to prevent the strike. The engineers
letter to the managers read: 1--WE re-
affirm our request, made January %,
reaffirmed March 26, because We be-
lieve it equitable. In this connection
we are carefully considering that por-
ton of your letter stating reasons why
your companies cannot grant the en-
gineers the wage increase. We de-
sire to call your attention to the fact
that the companies in the West and
Southwest are paying engineers ap-
proximately the same rates we de-
mand, with better working condi-
