CREAMERY MUDDLE
(Review.)

NheNleW,)
The Jefferson creamery patrons have
all quit, owing to a failure of the man.
ayers to meet their promised payments
Some of the patrons have received no
pay for six weeks, while the managers
had promised to pay twice each month.
True, they issued checks to a few pa.
irons, but the bank would not cash
them. The manager claims the failure
to pay is due to having received no
returns for large shipments of butter.
This, however, does qpt interest the
patrons. What they want is their
money. The Oregon state Bank which
owns the creamery property is making
every effort to secure payment for the
patrons, with good prospects Of success.
The creamery is one Of our most i'm.
portant industries, distributing a large
amount of money each month, and the
bank officials say they will not allow it
to be closed, even though they have to
finance it themselves. It looks much
to the Review as though the Portland
company that has q lease on the prop.
erty is deliberately irving to xiii the
business, thereby removing a strong
competitor.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

AS generally accepted the object of the public library
is to loan books good books preferred to encourage read
ing in the homes of the city and to make literature readily
available to the public Devoted chiefly to the dlstbu-
ton of fiction that being the most popular the library
feels higher pupose-that of encouraging the reading
and study Of more solid and educational literature
Shelves are filled with monthly selections Of some sub
stantia works and all the popular novels which will pass
liberal criticism.
But there is higher aim. Book lovers, who are OF
ficers librarians and assistants of the public library
should make it their duty to 60 beyond the mere oaning
of books to give transient good literature for the average
home AS book lovers they should avail themselves Of
their opportunity to encourage the ownership well
the reading of good books By the Oanng Of books they
should encourage rather than discourage the desire Of the
family to have library Of its own.
The Wisconsin free library commission believes in this
higher duty of the public library On the front page of
words this belief that Of the functions of the city
library is to encourage within the homes of patrons the
ownership Of the best in literatule:
owe as librarians believe that it is well for one to take
book from the library and in two weeks perusal
appropriate well may be its contents. But it is bet
ter-far beter-fOr to make the book his own not
only by mastery of contents but by actual purchase 1t
is for us book lovers to encourage wise book buying
To extent the character of the books bought and sold
IN city reflects the character of the librarianshp en-
poyed we'll does the nature of the books that circ
late from the library"
Something like this should be attached to every book
loaned out by the public library in this city and might also
be Inscribed on the walls and otherwise made public
good library in the home is next to home itself.

EXPANDING INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS

The reviews of trade for the past week were as en-
as they have been quite uniformly for weeks
past They showed steadily expending industrial opera
ons with generally stimulating effect in spite of many
uncertainties Of the foreign situation which make tol
caution everywhere.
One of the most gratifying features of the reports
the showing that the expendng industrial operations are
not due wholly to large demands, indicating some
thing of the revival of business from improving internal
conditions.
The prospects are for large traffic in grain and other
staples which prompt the transportation companies to
ter the market freely for needed equipment buying
for which naturally results in Improvement for iron and
steel conditions.
There you have again the cause for prosperity, the
crops of the county, which make activity in many lines
and bring wealth as no political party or legislation can
ever make possible.
