And We Are Ready! What Do You Need T tast Portland Branch Library Or Canizatlon Attains Conspicuous Successes Enthusiasm for Cause Marked. TTith the Portland committees beginning- to find their stride. Oregon's share of the $1,000,000 war library fund lumned to $5061.18 last night, almost doubling the total Tuesday. Factors in the result were conspicu ous successes attained by the commit tees working from the East Portland Branch Library. Miss Loa E. Bailey, librarian and campaign manager. These committees have already reported over $400, with the campaign still being pursued. "I have participated In many collec tion campaigns," said M- B. . McFaul, chairman of the East Portland section, 'but never in my iiie have I experi enced greater co-operation on the part of those solicited, a greater willingness to contribute, nor more enthusiasm for a cause. This applies just as much to our committees as to those we inter viewed. The war library fund is a suc cess so far as the East Side is con cerned." Kntbutsm Is Marked. Enthusiasm was marked at war library headquarters when Alfred A. Hampson, chairman of the Yeon build ing committee, reported $340. The re markable feature about Mr. Hampson's work was that there was not a single large donation in the total. - Committees making the drive were heartened yesterday by a donation of $250 from the Ladd Estate Company, while "W. B. Ayer, a member of the Oregon council, donated a similar sum. A. L. Mills, of the First National Bank, contributed $200 to ihe library fund. Other committees reported $100 each from Balfour Guthrie, the Northwest Steel Company, C. F. Adams and the ' Eastern & Western Lumber Company. Yesterday was conspicuous for the number of large donations. Wasco Keeps Ip Its Pace. The Dalles and Wasco County is still keeping up the pace it started on Mon day, the total reported to date being $375. while Miss Anne Lane, chairman, asserts that at least $530 will be raised. Pendleton made a record one-day total of $329. reported by E. J. Burke, chairman. This is only $19 more than the Grants Pass record for one day's work. Pendleton has not yet com pleted its campaign, however. The Round-Up city will raise its quota, is the promise, before the end of the week. Miss Mabel West, of Monmouth, has more than doubled her quota, by raising $65.65. Astoria augmented its total to $124, $100 being raised by two schools there. The Medford total is $80. and the campaign in that city is reported as being vigorously pressed. Gresham reported $40, and the campaign closed in that city. ' Small Towns Make Good Showing;. Clatskanie. with $14.85, and Antelope, with $30. were cities making a conspic uous showing for their size. The same applies to Alsea, reporting $9.25. Tal ent, with $32, more than doubled its apportionment. . At the Crystal Theater, Albina and Killings worth, a benefit will be held for the fund tonight, all proceeds going ' to the district library fund. Among the residence sections. L. A. Andrus reported $90 from several Port land Heights precincts, Mr. Andrus be ing captain of that district. "With half the week gone, we are only beginning to find our stride." said W. L. Brewster, state director, "but with so much of our state yet to hear from I am hopeful Oregon will Hio her bit.' " - There will be a benefit performance at the Multnomah Theater in St. Johns tonight for the benefit of the War Li brary Fund. All the proceeds will go into the fund. PRESENT PLAM DEFENDED County Commissioners Oppose Change in Jury Selection. The County Commissioners yesterday not only defended the present system of selecting Jurors for the trial of Cir cuit Court cases, but. through their chairman, Rufus C. Holman, addressed a letter to Presiding Judge Kavanaugh requesting an opportunity to be heard in opposition to a movement originat ing with the Multnomah County Bar Association for a change of method. "The Commissioners want to go be fore the Circuit Court Judges and ex plain in Jetail the method by which Jurors are r.ow drawn," said Mr. Hol man yesterday. "We shall ask the Circuit Judges for any criticism they may have t: offer against the present method, if any, and for suggestions for its improvement. Subject to such crit icism and rugge8tlons. however, we feel that the plan now in effect is the best for securing fair and impartial jurors. . "The present method has been ap proved by the District Attorney as legal, and we can see no substantial objection to it. Our only interest is in seeing that fair and impartial men are -drawn for jury service. No word of scandal has ever been associated with the system of jury drawing now in use. -All this talk of 'hand-picked Jurors' and ,'corner-block owners' is idle conversation." t s I I i wi logo $1.25 to $1.50 Metal Flouncing Yd. 98c 12 to 24-inch metal flouncing;.

Supposition Tkat Every PtcKace Shipped From Honibrook Has Liquor Declared Lnlalr. Every trunk shipped from Hornbrook, Cal., does not necessarily contain liquor. but evidently prohibition officers have come to regard such a shipment as Drima facte evidence or guilt, li me Rxnerlence of Grover C. Johnson is to be taken as an example. Recently Mr. Johnson dispatched nls trunk from Hornbrook to Portland by express. When he went to the local express office to recover his trunk, he found that its lock had been broken and that it had been damaged in other Darticulars. rendering his $20 invest ment in the trunk negligible. After conferring with officials of the Wells-Fargo Express Company and with one or two local attorneys, Mr. Johnson learned that it has been the habit of local policemen to break into trunks coming from California points in the hope that they might detect vlo latlon of the prohibition laws. "They tell me that my only recourse would be to sue the express company, but this I do not want to do, inasmuch as the express company was not to blame for my loss," said Mr. Johnson yesterday. "I do not expect to re cover my loss, but I do want the people to know what is going on. Personally I think a great injustice has been done me. There was no liquor in my trunk and no one had any right , to destroy my property. Liquor law or no liquor law. I understand that this thing has been done promiscuously. ery Company, and former manager of the Olympian Company, of Portland, will leave tomorrow for Cleveland, O., where he will enter the mercantile business with his brother-in-law, Charles Harris.
