WPA Recreation

The WPA Division of Education
and Recreation. in the city is plan
ming a library project for Browning.
The Blackfeet Indian Craft Shop
has offered room for the library.
and the WPA is supplying a compe-
tent librarian to care for the library
and to stimulate interest in reading,
according to Il statement by Mr.,
George Tallmadge. Supervisor Of Re-
creation in this city.
The nucleus for the library will
necessarily be provided by the
people OF Browning. After the pro-
ject has been instituted, it is hoped
that materials will be available from
outside sources. However, until the
organization of this project is COM
pleted and indicates that it will be
successful. we may not expect help
from sources outside this com.
munity. We are. therefore, calling
upon the citizens of the Brow ming
community to donate books and
magazines for all age groups to
launch this most worthwhile pro.
ject. The Supervisor of the project
will greatly appreciate it if the citi-
zens will either bring their dona-
lions to the Craft Shop or leave
their address at the Shop so that he
may call for them.
Both new and old books will be
acceptable and appreciated. The
librarian will make all needed re-
pairs on the books and magazines
before placing them on the library
shelves.
According to present plans, the
library will be open during the after
moons and evenings throughout the
week and during the afternoon Oh
Saturday. This library will be oper-
ated like any other free public
library.

OIL INDUSTRY
GIVES SIXTH OF
Rail TONNAGE

The oil and petroleum industry
accounted for almost one sixth OF
all the freight tonnage carried by
American railroads during the first
nine months OF 1898. according
to methods OF computation employ
ed by Dorsey Hager. petroleum ge-
ologist and consulting engineer, in
his new hook. Fundamentals Of
the Petroleum Industry"
at Is safe to estimate. writes
Hager that. for every ton OF oil
shipped out. a ton OF other pro-
ducts was shipped into the oil
fields. Complete figures for the
first three quarters OF last year
place petroleum products as 1885
percent OF the gross tonnage. a
substantial increase over 1897,
Doubled. to include the inflow of
freight In the oil regions. the total
Is 1873 percent, or almost one sixth
OF total freight hauled by the rail-
roads.
The increase IN the percentage.
according TO statisticians OF the
American Petroleum Institute. may
be caused by stability in the petro-
leum industry and dropping off
of other freight. rather than an in
crease in shipments of petroleum
products.
