AID IN TAKING PEOPLE
BACK TO SOIL,
SALEM, Or.. July 27. (Special.)
With a law on tha atatute booka of
Oregon making poaelhle tbe establish
moot of county llbrarlea, Mlaa Cornelia
Marvin, chairman of tha State Library
Commission, bopea aoon to ee county
llbrarlea In every county aeat In Ore
gon and a apeclal poatal rate on booka
aa a complimentary .ayetem working
Mr the betterment of rural Ufa In
tbla atata.
For aeveral yeara tbe American Aa-
aoclatlon of Llbrarlana baa been work
ing for m apeclal mall rate on booka.
Tbe regular book poet la aa low a
rate aa tbe govarnment glvca on li
brary booka. At preaent no concea
alou la made by tbe poatofflce de
partment, but llbrarlea muat pay tbe
full book rata. Kxpreaa companlea
make a half rate on library booka
and now that tbe poatal deficit la be
ing cut down, llbrarlea feel aome re
duction ahould be made by tbe gov
ernment, i-
Several of ..the mora Drogreaatve
couutlea In Oregon are agitating tbe
propoaltlon of county 'llbrarlea. I'p
to tha laat It'glalature only thoae coun
Ilea having a population of (0,000 or
niore were permitted to levy a apeclal
lag for a county library. Multnomab
county bad developed a fine library
Tbe laat legislature removed tbla lim
itation and now aeveral countlea are
preparing to maka a at art.
"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. Circulating llbrarlea reach
communltlea where there are a num
ber of famllle together. But through
tbe library poet the iaolated family
could be reached with the beat booka.
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."

only be for boy, but for men aa well.
Uamee could be arranged, and many
peraona who now go to tbe city to aee

home. I am aatlafled that the park
would add to the value of the property
in tbe neighborhood."

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
