Librarian Mary Fran ces Isom presented figures that place the first month of the present year far In advance of all others. f A .remarkable fact Is shown In that the fiction percentage has fallen.- The librarian attributes this to the issuance of teachers' cards, wHlch allow instruc tors to borrow books to aid them In their work.- The library Is constantly -, in creasing' the number of books on use ful and practical subjects, and these are eagerly sought. The county work is reported as prom ising. There are five' sub-stattpns now In existence; three Gresham, Bridal Veil" and Fairvlew were established last year, and Corbett and "West Port land last month. Corbett is under the charge of W. H.

It wl)l be bulky and to lash the short timbers together In such a manner aa to resist the waves .will be a difficult task to perform, so it la stated. This will be the first cord wood ever taken from the Columbia river to San Francisco, and is more In the line of an experiment than anything else. It is figured that it can be laid down there at 1 8 a cord. The wood will be shipped by A. Toung of Oak Point, and the firm to whom it .
