"A ayatem . of country llbrarlea In tbe county aeata, declarea Mlaa Mar vin, "together with our rural mall routea and a apeclal rate on tbe mall for txwiKA would do more for the coun try eopfe than any other thing Imag inable.

To get tha people back to the aoll meana muNt be developed for giving laolatad bomea aome of tbe advant age enjoyed by the homea nearer tbe center of population. Any county may make a levy to atart a library at the county aeat. After the county baa attained a population of 60.000 a apec lal lag of one and a half mill may be levied for tbe erection, of a county library building."

SURVEY: AND RACKS PLANNED TO SAVE FISH SYSTEM TO BE DEVISED THAT WILL GUIDE SALMON TO LADDERS.- - ' I aaaMaa ' . A ' ; 'i r R. E. Clanton, Master Flab Warden of tbe state, after consulting Fish Commlaaioner Kinney, Kelly and Cranston, State Engineer Lewla, Unit, ed SUtea Dlatrict Fish Warden O M al ley, Bute Superintendent of Hatcher lea Wlaner and Fish Warden Trenv bath. decided to have tbe State Engi neer make a survey of the whole situ ation at tbe Oregon City locks aad pre pare a plan for a. rack ayatem extend ing from Moore 'a Island or Tail-race Channel to the manland near the aul- phlte mill of tbe Willamette Paper A Pulp Company. i , - Tbe rack ayatem plan la forth pur pose of keeping aalmon from getting up Into tha tall races and to guide them to the entrance of the flab Udder or ladders. Tbe State Engineer la also to prepare a plan for another fish lad der to be so located that Ita entrance will be at tbe moat northerly point of Moore's. Island, near the outside or up-stream end of the racking ayatem. In the past It baa been contended that during the extreme low-water per iod of the year aalmon coming to the Oregon City Falls do not go over the falls, but head up Into the arm of the rtverTollowIng the tailracea at the Willamette Paper tt Pulp Company plant. Here they are said to remain until worn out or taken by local fish ermen. All interested in the fishing industry, however, are not agreed on tbla point. Some contend that they will back out or go farther up the stream, where they will find the pres ent entrance to the ladder, and that the few fish that remain in the tail racea are but stragglers. v The new plana to be prepared will make ample provision for the accom modation of all the aalmon that man age to reach the lock a at Oregon City. It la contended that they are becoming fewer in number each year and there la aome wonder that there ahould be any aalmon at tbe dam, for, once en tering the mouth of the Columbia River, the aalmon haa to fight for lta life all the distance down the Colum bia to the mouth of Willamette and from the Willamette up to the locks. Along this distance there are aelna and fish wells and traps and hooks of every conceivable form and device to catch the aalmon on the way to the spawning ground. The understanding is that tbe engineer will have hla plana ready next September. . CANBY PRAIRIE IS IRRIGATED BY LEE For the first time In the history of Canby Prairie, water has been sup plied for the fields, lawns and orch ards through Irrigation, and the long sought for goal of the promoter In the Willamette Valley. M. J. Lee, Is re alised. For three or four years Mr. Lee has devoted his attention and - ex pended large sums of money In the Interests of irrigation, starting hla high line ditch from Meadowbrook, down Milk Creek and through dltcbea to Canby Prairie, but to facilitate mat ters he haa constructed a flume lead ing from the Molalla river, under the Southern Paclflo tracka and across the prairie. Much apeculatlon has been rife con cerning the feasibility of Mr. Lee's project because of the nature of the aoll. However this aeemlng defect haa been overcome and the feasibility fully established, for water la steadily flowing from the flume Into the ditches and laterala which diverge In many waya and which are growing In both length aqd numbera. k Wife Seeka Divorce.
