rroes and Wind.

The effect of wind upon trees is pow
erful. Even the presence or absence
of forests may he determined by the
character Of the prevailing wind or
the conditions that modify it. The
wind acts as a driving agent, giving Il
special aspect TO many plants. When
it is almost always fi0m the same
quarter the plants show greater devel-
opment upon one side. Trees are small
er ON the windward edges of forests,
and trunks and branches are bent TO
leeward. The determinations are most
marked near the sea or in fiat regions.
The cherry, plum, walnut. black pop
lar, ash and certain piaes are very
sensitive 10 the wind, but mountain
pines and certain frs offer great pow
ers Of resistance, and these are rec
commended for rcforestlng wind swept

FnOURIsHING CONDITION.

The local library is in a very flour
ishing condition and growing steadily
thanks to the efforts OF the Civic
League. the organization responsible
for Oroville having such an elegant
library building and library. Recently
j F. Samson made a most acceptable
donation of sc volumes of fiction TO the
Civic League library They were the
few remaining numbers of the old
drug store library Such gifts are
|greatly appreciated by the League, and
will be by the patrons OF the library.
Another valuable donation was made
TO the library this week which was
appreciated L. l.. Work handed
in, besides bundles and bundles OF con-
secutive numbers of the Saturday
Evening Post and Everybody's, p
nicely bound books. Many of these
were reference and religious volumes
|of exceptional value. The library room
lis not large enough to accommodate all
of the magazines which have been
given the institution, and il is believed
they would be interesting to people
who have not been taking periodicals
regularly more than to those visiting
the reading room. Therefore, they have
been sorted out to the number of some
400 which the league will be glad to
dispose Of They will be given away on
the regular library days, Tuesdays and
|Saturdays. Come and get your share.
