WILL. DEVELOP RAINY HOLLOW
 COPPER MINES ilAMEDlATELY '

ized at different times to develop them While there are large bodies of rich ore in the district. many things have intervened to prevent development. The principal difficult ties have been the fluctuation in the price of copper, and transportation obstacles. The perfection of the tractor, it is believed, has provided the solution of the transportation problem. and the richness of the ore, the size of the ore bodies and its advantageous location for mining operations, it is believed, will do the rest.

MRS. METCALFE AT HEAD OF LIBRARY
 PROGRAM III NORTH
Juneau Librarian Represents Amer ican Library Association Books
 For Everybody" Plan

Mrs. F. A. MetcalF, librarian of undertaken the direction of the Books for Everybody" movement in Alaska for the American Library As sociation, having been recently ap- pointed.
 This movement is a nationwide endcavor to promote the extension of library service SO that the mil lions of people in the United States and it's possessions may have the opportunity for obtaining reading matter which is not now within their reach. It is also designed to promote the habit of reading and universal sclf-education through books and libraries and create a public sentiment that will insure adequate support for all existing li- braries and cause others to be es- abolished where they do not now exist
 This Enlarged Program is a di- rect outgrowth of the war time ser vice of the American Library Asso- citation, which circulated more than 1000, ,000 books among men of the United States forces at home, over seas and OH the sea. The peace tiae project will promote extension of book service.
 To carry out the provisions of the project, a fund of $2,000, 900 is be- ing raised by librarians, library trustees and friends of libraries without recourse to the usual inten- sive public campaign.
