The executive committee of the
Portland Commercial club Is appeal
ing; for additional funds to advertise
the resources of Oregon, and at no
time during the active work of that
committee have responses been so
generous. New subscriptions are
coming In, former contrlbuiois are
either doubling or materially Increas
ing their subscriptions, and every
cent of It Is devoted to advertising'
the state and not the city.
Complete plans have been decided

upon the grounds of'a great fair.
members of the committee attempted
to convince the president that the
clause Is Impracticable. There Is llt
ti" disposition among the railroad men
to oppose the hours prescribed by law
for trainmen, but they cannot see
their way clear to adjusting condi
tions for the universal observance 01
the nine-hour law for telegraph oper
ators. The question of legalizing pooling
agreements was discussed Informally.
In this matter the president has indi
cated his position as favorable to such
an agreement under proper super
vision by the Interstate commerce
commission.
Among the railroads represented at
the conference were the Pensylvanla,
New York Central. St. Louis and
Sun Francisco, Southern, Burlington,
Illinois Central and Northwestern.

Realizing that in a city the size of
La (i i ancle there are a number of
people who enjoy reading the latent
and best books, but do not feel that
they can afford to buy the books out
right, but who are willing und able
to pay a small rental fee, the Newlln
Drug company has Installed a circu
lating library to meet this demand.
This library contains nearly 1000 vol
umes, consisting of all the talked
about, copyrighted books, the sland
ai d works of fiction, the standard
children's books and also a large col
lection of paper-backed novels. The
plan adopted by the Newlln Drug
company to place this splendid library
in the hands of the reading public is
simple as well as inexpensive. There
will be no red tape. The prospective
member simply deposits $1.00 for
which he receives his first book. The
member is allowed to select any book
In the library. This book the mem
ber will be allowed to keep In his pos
session for one week. At the expira
tion of the week, or sooner, the mem
ber may return the book and ty the
payment of an additional 25 cents
secure another book and by the pay
ment of an additional 25 cents secure
another book. Thus for 25 cents the
member may have the pleasure of
reading a $1.&0 book. If the books
are kept longer than the week the
small charge of five cents per day
Is made for each additional day.
Should the member not wish to take
a book n week all that Is necessary
Is to return the book taken out und
a membership card will be Issued,
wlili h will entitle the member to o
book at any time upon payment only
of the in-rent rental fee. With the
library Is a large number of paper
back novels, which are allowed to be
taken out upon an Initial charge of
but five cents. Readers are Invited
to call at the store and examine "the
library, and the Newlln Drug company
feels sure that the selections will be
found In every way worthy oh the
consideration of the reading public.
