these ballots are gently wafted

Metschan can be depended upon,

MOVEMENTS
Library Card System in use
At Washington Adopted
By Willamette
New plans, publications, and
books were featured at Willam
ette university library during
the past weeks. A new checking
system of checking the books In
and out is the special feature.
Subscriptions to three French
periodicals printed in the French
language have been given to the
university by Mrs. Claudius
Thayer. The magazines are Les
Annates, L'lllustration ana Petit
Illustration.
Library cards printed by the
Congressional library will be
used in the library instead of the
cards written by hand as ha
been heretofore. About 150 new
books are awaiting cards which
were to have arrived Saturday.
Congressional cards contain a re
sume of the contents of the en
tire bonk as well a name, in-
thir; price and other information.
Every card saves the librarians
about half an hour of time.
One of these lists has been re
ceived previous to Saturday and
is being checked. When they ap
pear to be satisfactory, they will
be returned to the Carnegie of
fice.
The Carnegie corporation has
also sent a list of books that
every small college should have.
One has been checked and re
turned to the Carnegie office.
A rift of a fund raneinz from
$2,000 to $5,000 will be received
by the Willamette library upon
the completion of the checking of
these lists Prof, F. G. Franklin,
librarian, expects this gift some
time during the winter.
Willamette university is one
of about 300 small colleges
which are receiving this same
proposition. Along "with this
matter will be the chance to buy
books from the Carnegie book
shops at a reduced price.
Although the Carnegie corpor
ation has heretofore had inter
ests only in public libraries, it
la now extendine its interest to
include college libraries.

To the Voters of the City of Salem:
At the election which will be held in this city on next Tuesday, you will
have the opportunity of passing: upon the question as to whether or not the City
of Salem shall acquire the water rights on the North Santiam River for domestic,
municipal, irrigation, and power right purposes.
This question is submitted to you for the purpose of getting an expression
from the voters of the city as to their desire in the matter of acquiring these
rights, such information to be used with the state officials in securing for the
City of Salem the water rights in question.
It is conservatively estimated that the water rights available on the North
Santiam River will be worth a minimum of three million dollars to the city as
soon as the same are acquired. The acquisition of these water rights will- cost
the city nothing except the small filing fees required under the state statutes.
When once acquired these water rights will be available for the City of Salem at
any time it may be found necessary or advisable to develop the same.
Nothing could contribute to the prosperity of the City of Salem so much as
cheap power. It would not only furnish the citizens of Salem with service
equal to the present service at a lesser rate, but it would put the city in position
to make inducements to manufacturing enterprises to locate in the City of Salem,
thereby increasing the monthly pay roll, and generally contributing to the pros
perity of the city.
Municipally owned power plants have passed beyond the experimental stage,
and are now almost universally classed as financially successful. The record made
by the City of Eugene with its municipally owned power plant is such as to indi
cate that the development contemplated by the City of Salem would be highly
successful. The experience of Seattle, Tacoma, and other coast cities bear out
this conclusion. j
i
An application has been made to secure these water rights or your behalf by
the officers of the City of Salem, and it is now a question as to. whether the
City of Salem will acquire them, or whether they will go to the! Pacific North
west Public Service Company. 1 i
, !
All that is necessary for you to do is to express your desire that the water
rights be acquired, and they will be acquired, without the Issuing of a dollar's

The matter of
development of these water rights Is one which must later be pui up to you, and
one upon which you must pass at the time, so that there is no possibility that'
the acquisition of these rights will cost you one dollar either at present or in the
future, without your consent first being secured for such expenditure.
