LIBRARY NOTES. Testerday there was received at the library a group of books on vocation al guidance that has been loaned by the state library for a limited time. If the demand for them is sufficient, the library will purchase other books on this subject to remain here. It should be understood that voca tional guidance is altogeyier differ ent from vocational education and In dustrial training, subjects with which it Is sometimes confused. The public library and high school of Grand Rapids. Mich., have been working out together a course of reading and instruction on this sub ject which has been carried on through the department of English of the high school and has proved very popular with the pupils. We quote from an article regard ing the assistance to be had from public libraries along this line: "The purpose of this work Is to endeavor to aid boys and girls to find a work in life that will command their best and is adapted to their capacities, energies, their Intelligent Interest, and is adapted to their capacities, thus avoiding so far as possible the bane of young people drifting into the first thing that comes along, whether they are fitted for it or not. By putting the right sort of books into their hands in' this -way the li brary has a tremendous opportunity for influencing their lives at the most formative period, and at the same time developing in them a more or less serious attitude toward life and Its work. The study of the lives of successful men and women and the study of the work and requirements of different vocations can not help but impress upon boys and girls the importance of preparation and con scientious effort as prime requisites for success in any line of work." Following are the. titles of the books now on hand. Parents and teachers will find them valuable. Fowler Starting In Life. Laselle Vocations for Girls. Munsterberg Vocation and learn ing Parsons Choosing a vocation.

It is charged that Ban ister paid them a considerable sum of money and that they then leased their land to another. .

RECLAMATION PLAN OFF FOR PRESENT Project at I a ' Grande Would Cost $200,000 and Farmers Could Not Decide Upon Best Way to Raise Money. LA GRANDE, Ore., March 21. Reclamation of some 30,000 acres of lowlands in this valley by changing the course of Catherine creek and dredg ing Grande Ronde river, has been abandoned for this year. The project would cost In the neighborhood of $200,000 and the farmers interested could not agree on the best of the three available methods to pursue to raise the funds. The upshot of the deliberations and meetings to at tempt organization of drainage dist ricts with that purpose in view, has been that individuals will take up the matter of drainage temporarily, and the matter will probably come up again next fall to give ample time for consideration of methods that work can begin the following spring. The project was deemed one of the big gest things yet proposed In a com mercial way, for this valley. Blizzard at Nome. NOME. Alaska. March 21.

Unusual Irrigation Dam State Engineer Lewis has given permission for the enlarging of the most pecul iar dam ever erected In Oregon for storing wuter for Irrigation purposes. The permit was granted to the Malheur Livestock & Land company, which will increase the height of it present dam from 55 feet to 90 feet to provide 2S40 acre-feet of water. The dam Is only 6.2 feet to 90 feet thick at the base and three feet at the top. Its unusual strength is due to its being built of concrete and steel, and the engineers declare there will be no danger of a break even when Its height Is almost doubled. It Is crescent shape with the curve toward the water. The promoters say their reason for making the strange type canal Is that cement has to be hauled 80 miles In wagons and It has been found cheaper to use steel In connection with it. .
