SHORTAGE OF OIL
MAY RESULT IN
GASFAMINE HERE

Washington is facing a gas famine.
sseording to a statement made today
~ Howard Reside, president of tho
Washington Gas Light Company.
This is due mainly to the impossi;
b4lity OF getting oil. The oil comes
from Baltimore, and transportation
cannot be obtained, owing to the
heavy war traffic. The Government
will be asked to help relieve the situa-
ton, officials of the company declare.
Other causes OF the threatened fam
ine are the Increased population Of
the Capital and use of gas for heat.
Ing because OF the coal shortage. The
consumption Of gas today is 80 per
cent greater than q year ago, accord
ing to figures issued by the company
When the winter sets in and more
heat will be needed, 1t is feared that
the demand for gas will exceed the
supply. ' "

MOBILIZATION OF
HOSPITALITY FOR
F|GHTERSP[ANNED.

+ A new form Of mobilization in con,
nection with war work is being un-
dertaken. 1t Is aimee TO improve the
morale. increase the fighttng Spirit
and add to the efficiency OF the Ameri-
can army and navy. The United
States is the first nation in the world
which has ever attempted to safe
guard Its fghting forces with this
kind OF protective mobilization. With
the official Endorsement OF President
Wilson and of Secretaries Baker and
Daniels, plans are being worked out
for q mobilization OF hospitality" in
all the communities surrounding mill
tary training camps.

and is in hearty accord with the
great work which is being under
taken through. this community serv-
ice in behalf of the men now In
training at ninety or more army and
navy camps and posts throughout the
United States.
The women of this country already
have been contributing in many ways
to help win the war, through their
services to the Red Cross, through
urging the sale of Liberty bonds, and
In numerous other ways. But II is
felt that one, of the greatest services

Flax MIL at Turner
Is Increasing Facilities

The Turner flax mill has bought Is
carloads of flax straw raised in Wash
ington county, the first car being un-
loaded Monday. Last week they ship
ped 2 12 tons of fibre to San Fran
cisco.
Superintendent Hansett is expecting a
visit from the S. P. inspector to give to
the flax company the right to erect a
warehouse 40 by 60 and one 20 by 40,
also the privilege to build canal to rett
flax 16 by $50 feet long.
The president of the company, Thos
Roth, and the treasurer, Edw. Schunke,
both of Salem, are very much pleased
with the returns of last years crops
and have decided to raise enough flax
this season to run the mill with full
capacity which would mean steady
throughout the year. Now is the time
for the farmers to help boom Turner, by
raising flax for the Turner mill. Men
ager Hansett expects to have the blank
contracts ready by Tuesday of next
week He will make a visit to all the
farmers. If you are in doubt about
making a success of flax raising, do not
&C in too deep, but try three or four
acres.-Turner Tribune.

Oregon State Library
ShoDs Splendid Progress

The biennial report of the Oregon
state Library was submitted by Cover
nor Withycombc 10 the Twenty ninth
legislative assembly at its regular 1917
session. This report covered the work
Of the state library for the two years
ending September 80, 1917.
Among the items of interest noted in
the report are the following: The state
library now owns 1875, 1876 volumes. Of
these, 23,5S9 are in the general lending
collection which serves for the mail or.
der loans, 20,369 are in the travelling
library units and the remainder in the
document, reference, debate and model
school librart collections
The greatest progress has been made
in the extended use of the library by
the people in small towns and rural dis
triets During the month of January,
1916, there were GAG mail order requests
and 555 shipments, With the present
force, it is impossible to handle more
than 40 shipments day as the letters
must be gone over carefully to get an
idea what the people want.
Books are not loaned to the people of
Salem except through the public library,
hut loans are made to farmers in Polk
and Marion counties and to people liv.
ing in the small towns around Salem
who flock to the library on SATURDAYS.
Borrowers have helped select books
for the library as l,427 volumes have
been bought at the request Of readers
during the past two years.
The library service in the state has
increased until now so travelling librar-
les may be had, five county library sys,
tens a03 travelling library stations.
The libraries of 2,5l9 school districts,
~ county agricultural stations, $50 high
schools, 32 club stations are helped BY
the state library and 5000 individuals

aver.
An idea of the rapid advance of the
library idea may be had from the fact
that in August, 1905, there were Just
three places in the state where books
were to be had free of charge and only
one of these was tax supported lib
rary These three libraries were in
Portland, Salem and Eugene. The
schools had no libraries excepting oc.
casional small collections of books AT
present, "a Of the so free libraries in
the state receive support from the, pub
lie funds; % are in buildings of their
own provided by gifts and nine of the
libraries have over 5000 volumes Rose

There are only 1877 books ON dairying

are loaned.
The report shows that within a few
years it win be absolutely necessary to
secure additional quarters for the state
library. The normal growth is about
$4,000 a year. About so per cent Of the
