LIBRARY QUESTION BOX

At recent meeting Of the library |
board at which Miss Cornelia Marvin, |
secretary of the Oregon Library Com. /
mission was present, it was decided to
carry on a question box in one of the |
local papers. Everyone Is requested to !
bring questions about the library and
the library building to the librarian or
anysmember of the library board. MI
any question cannot be answered local,
ly 1t will be referred to headuuarters.
The following questions have already
been asked
Q,-Who constitute the library
board?
A.-There are nine members. Six,
one of which is a member of the city
council, are appointed by the mayor Of
the city. The county court, consisting
of the county judge and two commits
sioners are members ex-oIlicio ana have
the same responsibilities and voting
powers as the other members.
Q.-ls it city or county library9
Alt is county library. 1t began
as such and has continued as such. 1t
has the official name, Hood River
County Library.
Q.-Must the land upon which the
building may be built be decided to the
Carnegie Corporation?
A.-NO. The deed of the land must
be in the name of the party that ac-
cepts the gift.
Q.-What does MIR. Carnegie require
when he gives gift Of money for
library building?
Ale requires from the party that
accents the off an apraauaut 10 ,,ro
vide at least one-tenth the amount of
the gift each year for the maintenance
of the library.
Q.-Are there any other strings be-
sides this?
A.-There are no other strings what
ever.
Q.-If for any reason the county may
at some time be absolutely unable to
meet the requirements, would the
building and the site revert to the Car
negie Corporation?
Att would not. There is no pen
atty attached to the agreement. 1t is
simply moral obligation, not legal
one.
Q.-Do the plans for the proposed
building have to be accepted by the
Carnegie Corporation?
A.-Yes, the sketch plans do. III
they are not accepted they are returned
with suggestions for their improve
ment. This is done simply to insure
wise use of the gift money.
Q.-Does Mr. Carnegie appoint the
architect?
A.-No. He does not even suggest a |
certain architect.

Fire Lads Petition For Automatic Alarm

A Tetition was circulated Monday af-
ternoon by the members of the fire de-
partment who desire that the council
installed an automatic alarm to sound
fire warnings. The petition, signed by
as many OF the business men as could
be interviewed Monday afternoon, was
submitted TO the council Monday night,
although no action was taken at that
time.
The fire laddies are eager to hurry
the installation of an automatic alarm
because of the time lost in getting a
warning sounded under the present sys-
TEN. 1t is asserted that it was Is min
utes Sunday night after the alarm was
turned in to the telephone exchange be
fore the bell rang. The automatic sys-
tenn will not only sound general
alarm but will announce the precinct
in which the fire is located

BIG Yield From 3ne Pnia;1.

4 lad in the outskirts Of Albany,
New York, and only Il years of age,
has made world record. The State
fair board offered a prize for the
largest yield from one seed potato.
Each contestant was furnished one
potato Of special and unusual va
riety in his part Of the State.
Eugene Durant raised and exhib-
itod 686 pounds of potatoes, twelve
bushels, of contest quality and size,
and left at home, unweighed, about
two bushels Of non-exiaiDitable size.
So far as known, this is fully twice
the yield ever before known from
one potato.
Each potato had fourteen eyes.
Each Of these was planted in hot
bed. When the sprout was about
three inches high he cut 1T off and
placed it in the sand, where it took
root. Durart then set it out in soil
adapted to potatoes. The sprouts
kept on growing, and he kept On
roofing them and then transplanting
them, and great was the harvest
thereof. Farm and Fireside.

How is this for great state like
North Carolina? The Charlotte
Chronicle says:
North Carolina cent cut Of the
State last year more than 22 million
dollars for hay, corn and feedstuffs,
all of which might have been pro-
duced at home without clearing an
additional acre of land. We need
capital in North Carolina and bor-
rowers are paying seven and eight
percent for money with which to
push enterprises which mean the
growth Of the state. And yet we
are not wise enough to raise our hay
and grain at home and keep the
money here for developing our re-
resources.

CHASE NATIONAL BANK
FREE OF FIRST'S CONTROL
Combination Was Under Pujo
Committees Fire.

NEW YORK, Jan. GA large block
of the stock of the Chase National
Bank, which was held by the First
National Bank interests, has been sold
to Albert H. Wiggin. president of the
Chase National Bank. it was learned
yesterday. The effect of this transac-
ton was to break the stock control of
the Chase National by the First Ma
tional interests, one of the combina-
tons that has been under fire of the
Pujo Money Trust" investigating
committee.
1t has long been understood in Wall
Street that the First National inter-
ests with George F. Baker at their
head, owned either a majority of the
Chase stock or enough to give them
stock control This could not be held
directly by the First National Bank,
as the law prohibits any national bank
from owning any stock, except such
as might come into its possession
through default of a loan for which
it was collateral security. In such
case the bank would be compelled to
dispose of the stock within three
years.

MARKET IS WEAK
AT CLOSING HOUR
aME
Bears Take Advantage of
Dearth of Buying
Orders.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Most Of the
important stocks sold at Slightly
higher figures in the first transactions
today. American Tobacco made an
exceptional gain Of IA. Southern Pa
oiflc and Western Maryland were
heavy.
II a. m.-Pressure against few
specialties caused the general list to
fan back, but moderate buying OF
Union Pacific, which rose to 1852,
etiffened the market again. Beet
sugar lost 1, California Petroleum IA
and Mexican Petroleum 2A.
Noon-Wall Street awaited expect
antly the convening of the Supreme
Court today after its holiday recess,
with the idea that decisions long
looked for might be announced.
Business was restricted in eonse-
auence, growing smaller as midday
approached.
General influences seemed to have
little bearing on the movement Of
stocks and fluctuations were mostly
fractional.
p. ma sharp turn on Union
Pacific depressed 1t from l62A TO
1907 on a few transactions. A hur-
ried splitting out of other stocks fol-
lowed, with some reactions of a point.
Steel dropped to 67ss, but most other
important stocks held above last
weeks close. The furry was over IN
q few minutes and the market be-
came dun and steadier.
2p. Reimbursement from wash
ington that the Supreme Court had
sustained the attorney general in his
refusal to permit the distribution OF
Union Pacific equities in Southern
Pacific, according to the plan devised
BY the Hartman interests caused
another lively selling movement.
8 D. m.-The market closed weak.
a pause in the selling movement
failed to bring much of recovery,
and the bears took advantage of the
dearth of buying orders to make an
other determined attack,

Southerners who are playing in the
big leagues apparently are the worst
holdouts this winter. Ty Cobb start
ed the ball rolling by demanding a
$4,000 a year contract Then Joe
jackson, who halls from South Caro-
lima, followed suit by asking $1,000 a
year more than the Cleveland man
agement seems willing to pay him
Then came Bud McTigue, the Nash
vile boy. with a demand for a very
substantial raise at the hands of
Boston. Now Derrlll Pratt the ST.
Louis Browns good young infielder,
thinks he's worth 81, 900 a season more
than has been offered him OF the
entire tribe all but Cobb graduated
from the Southern League.
Joe Tinker volunteers the informa-
ton that Hans Wagner is the great
est shortstop in the world, that Ed
Walsh is the greatest pitcher in the
world, and that Ty Cobb and Iris
Speaker are the greatest players in
the world Joe's thought concerning
Walsh may be a trifie prejudiced 1t
will be recalled that Ed was the main
cog in the machine that took much
money from the Cubs in two recent
post season series.
Joe Cantillon, who is one of the big
bugs in the American Association, is
father of a scheme which would pro-
hibit the sale of any player or play
ers to the big leagues.
