a speech before tlie St. Andrew's so

for the combination of the army and
navy into one department under a sin
gle head to be known as thedepart'of

Governor's Island yesterday. From
what could be learned many army offi

General Grant in his Bpeecb called at

army of the United States. He said
it would be of no use at all for aggres

should be classed together in that they

The following io the librarian's re

From this dutu fines will ba collect
ed In accordance with the rules and reg
ulations pit h ted iu the books, nnd a
charge of 6 cents for replacing lost
patrons' cards.
All books are loaned for two weeks,
and are Ificn Bubjoct to reuewal for
two weeks. If anyone fulls to renew bin
book let him estimate the number of
days he Is .delinquent at 5 cents pur
day. i n is may somowhat alleviate the
shock, when tho librarian informs him
that ho owes tho library anywhere from
30c to 70c. Heretofore this rule has
not been rigidly enforced, bacause soiuo
of tho bookrf'did not contain the miss
governing patrons.
In the futuro this rulo will be eti
forced.
At tho last meeting of tho Groater
Medford .club it whs decided to give
patrons one week longer in which to
return books.
If tho parents and. teachers will co
operate with tho librarian in securing
mora careful bundling of the bonks in
the juvenile department tho lige of these
books and hence their usfuluess to tho
community will be greatly increased.
All books iu tho traveling library con
tain tho following instructions:
To Oare for Books,
Do not mark them with pon or pencil.
Do not turn down cornern of leaven.
Do not wot the fingers to turn loaves.
Do uot use a thick bookmark.
Do not lay open book face downward.
Do not brenk iUo back by forcing
open.
Do not handle except with clean hands
Do not forgot to protect from rain.
Home of the books which have been
issued only eight or ten times are ho
gummy and grimy from dirt yfiugers
that the averngo parson would hesitate
to houdlo them with tonga.
These books with careful treatment
should be in good condition two or three
years hence. '
Lot us teach our children that the
books belong to the whole public and
that many other boys and girls would
like to read them.

Eugene Secretary's Reply.
Eugene, Or., December 5, 1008. Mr.
A. H. Miller, Medford, Oregon Dour
Sir: your favor of the 3d reached inn
this morning. I heard about tho mnttei
iu Portland Tuesday and am glad to
get your letter, so as to assure you
that tho matter referred to was stopped
hoiiio time ago. The St. Paul party who
got up tho booklet sent mo a copy of it
and asked me what I thought of it. I
have just looked up tho copy of my
letter to him mid -find" that I wroto him
ou November III, and I expressed my
opinion of his action in using picture
ud statements which were fictitious
then took up tho mutter with tho local
officers of the company and showed
them wherein this party in St. Paul was
in tho wrong, and they wired him the
next morning to atop operations und to
destroy tho literature Since receiving
your letter I just called them up by
olephone to ninke sure that .their in
structions were carried out, and I have
been assured that they were. Tho gen
tlemen hero interested in thin company
are nil in good standing, and the min
ute I stated to them where their St,
Cuul ii gent was wrong Uiey wero just
is naxious ns 1 was to have it stopped.
1 am sorry your club buw fit to take
liu matter up with the postal author-
ties, as there was no need of this, in
asmuch a wo hud tnken steps to stop
t some weeks before you got hold ol
ho booklet. Kindly bring it to the
notice of your club that tho Eugene
Commercial club is just anxious to have
L'ugene and Lane county sail undor its
trite colors as you could possibly be in
rgnrd to your own part of tho state.
baeh part certainly has enough ad van
liige not. to be under the necessity nl
stealing one another's thunder, or using
each other's affidavits.
Even before t came !o Oregon, when
I got hold of your bonk containing the
very picture of the man in tho vineyard
holding up the grapes, which appenrs in
this Oregon Realty Unit company's
booklet, I at once wrote to Mitchell
tho Bun Francisco postal card mnn,
asking him why ho uBed this picture to
represent a California vineyard, and it
has been stopped since. ' .
Assuring you of my hearty co-opera
tiou in everything that pertains to the
honest and honorable exploitation of
Oregon ,and thanking you for consulting
me i the matter, I remain. Yours very
truly. JOHN n. HARTOtt, Mgr.
