The Lurline arrived down as usual
last night. She had a fair load of
freight and good passenger list,
picking up many ofthe river folks at
the landings. Capt. ?umwalt, the
new commander new on the Lur

reports nothing unusual along the
river. Pilot McCulIy, good natured

THE ASTORIA'S FREE

ANNUAL MEETING OF AS
TORIA LIBRARY ASSOCIA
TION INTERESTING RE
PORTELECTION OFFICERS.
The annual meeting and election of
officers of the Astoria Public Li
brary Association was held yester
day afternoon and several matters
were discussed. The president's re
port was submitted as follows:
"To the officers and members of the
A. P. L. Association:
"The other officers and chairman of
committees will give detailed reports
of the work accomplished during
1907, so I will confine my report to a
general review of the conditions as
they are at the end of the year.
"The regular income from the city
tax has been augmented by the dues
from the city tax has been augmented
by the dues from subscriptions anditributed to be used for library pur
largely for the running expenses of
the library including the large num
ber of magazines and newspapers
kept on file. The number of book
purchased this year is a matter for
sincere coneratulation. While we
have catered to a degree to the great
call for contemporary fiction, the
purchase of standard reference book
has been in excess of the lighter form
of literature, and the value of the
lihrarw tn those studiously inclined
has been much increased thereby
The board of directors has made an
effort to ourchase such reference
books as will be of csncial help to
the High School pupils and those who
are doing special work in literary or
scientific lines. The Kinney 1'und
has been devoted exclusively to such
a line of reading matter, with tli
jdea that it will be a fitting memorial
to the donor. The tact that almost
$200 of that fund remains intact is
evidence that this invaluable depart
ment will soon be materially in
creased. "The fixtures belonging to the read
ing rooms have been augmented by
the purchase of cases sufficient for
the entire wall space in the reference
department room. Their usefulness
and convenience is apparent.
"The matter of making the library
free to the public has been determin
ed on beginning with February 1,
1908. The generally prosperous con
dition of the institution seemed to
warrant such an undertaking for a
year at least and to be continued in
definitely should circumstances per
mit. This move is cause for congrat
ulation since it means the attainment
of an ideal, entertained by the origin
ators of the library movement in As
toria. It is sincerely to be hoped that
the financial support to entertain
ments and kindred money-raising de
vices will be sufficient to continue
the library on the free plan. I wish
to offer the suggestion that the next
time funds are needed for the library
that those enjoyed the privileges of
the institution, the patrons and friends
of the library, be appealed to, to help
the book fund directly, without re
sorting to an entertainment to raise
money. I believe it will meet with
general approval, for all money con-
