Not only have the book resources of the H- brary been greatly increased during the interval, thereby enlarglng the scope of It's uSe- fulness to the community, but there has also been a marked increase of interest on the part of the general public, as attest ed by the steady growth of the roster of subscribers. Eight new members were enrolled on Tuesday alone.
 An additional 150 volumes of assorted books, the gift of the Seattle Public Library, were received on the last trip of the Wales.
