READING ROOM QUESTION.
A Fcailhlo I'lnti Which Should He Car
ried Out.
Tho report of the public library for
tho past year, which was published yes
terday, is encouraging not only to those
interested in its work, but to all who
desire to see such institutions flourish
in our city. This, however, gives rise
to a question which was agitated by a
correspondent in tho Chiionict.k some
weeks since that of a public reading
room.
If such an institution was ever needed
in a place, Tho Dalles is in need of it
at present. Where in tho city can a
stranger find a placo where an evening
can be spent outside of a saloon? True,
the Commercial Club fiirni&hca a splen
did place for Its members and their
frienda to whilo the houre away; but
what of thoae who havo no acquaintances
whatever here? What of the young
men from the country who are compelled
to stand around on the street corners or
take the only alternative the place
where tlio doors are always open and
extending a cordial greeting. Whilo
our churches and societies aro agitating
the temperance question, would it not
be well to consider that they are their
brothers' keeper, and should at least
extend to him a helping hand in this
particular case?
Adjoining the library to the east is a
large room, well lighted, and which,
with some improvements, would be just
the place for a public reading room.
We have no doubt that tlio use of the
library books would be donated, and,
with the exception of the few months of
extreme cold weather, the room could
be heated from the library room. It
would be necessary to fit it up in a com
fortable mapjer, provide periodicals and
alibrarian for the afternoon and evening,
at least, it hardly being necessary to
keep open during the morning hours.
But, the question arises how are these
expenses to be met? While we realize
that the church societies aro already
burdened to keep up the finances of their
various denominations, Eurely they
could at least give one afternoon in a
month which will be devoted to the
interest of such a noble woik. Then
let the lodges of our city each give tho
proceeds of one of the entertainments so
frequently enjoyed by them to this
cause. Beside this, surely the young
people would willingly givo a concert,
play, or entertainment of some descrip
tion which proceeds would bti used for
that fund. And by Euch means more
than enough could be raised lo meet the
small requirements.
What iu needed is for the ladies of the
churches to club together, talk the mat
ter over and Eee what can be done along
this line, and if an organization is per
fected, appoint a committee each month
to overlook the business connected
therewith.

"The Companion was dearer to him
than the apple of bis eye. He had
caused it to grow from a local pap'-r of
narrow scope and limited circulation to
the great institution it is. He watched
over it with more than the jealous care
of a mother for n darling daughter. He
laid its foundation deep. He built it
to endure. Two thoughts were ever in
his mind to keep The Companion pure
and wholesome, and to organize it in
every department so that, when he

building of which lie gave his life, should
