No great epvM'h iiiBrks this r'a his tory, -et I believe It .has been, in al niont every resiKn, no of the most suoctwaful years of our library ex!it etice, Year by year thla institution has! Iwen Ktinillly growing 1n ipular fa-or, ami more and more demonstrating thnt It Is mipiling a felt w ant The great and primary object of Its catahlltth- merit wfta to provide a place where not only the bent books on various subjects ' greatly strangers In our olty have ap could lie obtnlnctl at f.moll cost, )r i nr.M-lated this library and reading; home reading, but inure Important to provldo a iiNidlng nann, upplicd with the bent and cleanent papers and mag- j .lalnea which would not only make more: Intelligent the iviuler, but prove a roun- ter-attraotlon to the strwt, with its manifold temptations. How well this reading room la filling Its mission is demonstrated by Its constantly Inciciis- Ing patronage. Lat year'a record of readers was higher than any previous year; yet the year JuM ended the year 1896, shows a still higher record. Let us comimre a few moat he In these tw o years that we may soe how great haa been the actual Increase. Our library year, as you are aware, begins In Feb ruary: February. 1895, number of readers during month, 8H; February, 1896, 1263, May, 1895, number of readers during month, 873; May, 1896. 1897. September, 1895, number of readers during month, 1073; September, 1S96, 1523. January, 1S95, number of renders dur ing month, 1H1; January, 1896, 1497. Total mul.Ts for 1896, lt.HO; Urtal readers for 1896, 17,658. There has also beon a gain In the number of books token from the circu lating library during the year. In 1895, number of books taken.... 1444 In 1896, number of books taken.... 1533 But as the circulating library la our only source of retrular Income outside of the small allowance granted us from the city It la to be regretted that It la not better patronized. No doubt the explanation Is that paper bound vol umes of popular novels oan now be purchased so cheap.

It may be of intoreat 10 you to know than fllie Inllm-nce of this litrary Is not ,niilln.il to this city. One year apo a gentleman wrote me from Portland ask ing the dotal l of the organisation and maintenance of this library, as It wns deliMl to found a similar one in Port- land; and s.n aftir a public library and freo rdlng rm wre enrablished , In the prynt metropolis f Oregon. j Since that time. InqulrU have come to nH. from different parts of the state, on this subject, showing not only how room, and haw stmken of It eltsewhere, but also that its suecves k acting as evim In other oitbw. And we feel sure that the publlo-splritod cltlitons of Astoria will never suffer this library to close Its doors for want of financial ; support, and as the months go by, It will be more and more recognized as one f the Indlspenslble InsHtutions of the city.

The s-tuadron weighed anchor In the Hoada Thursday morning and put to sa, FrVlay evenlwf th weather thick ened and by night wa blowing a gale The Indiana returned to tbe Itoads, ow Ing to th condition of her turrets. Th test of the fleet, however, poked their no intn the storm and headed south. Wlu-n abit fifty mtlea off H altera, the flwt felt ttie full force ut the Wow. Open lualron rraatlon was maintained and th veawela were put In order for a siege of weather. The Hartle ahtp Maine waahed her deck at every plunge. It was late Friday afternoon whon the accident oc curred which coat three seamen their lives. Three other, were rescued only by prom H and herodc work. A gang of men were ordered forward to make more secure the lanhrngv of the big guns. The deck a deluged and the wind waa freahenlng every moment. The men were at wrk with the lash ings when an unusually heavy sea came rver her bows and swept aft. SIX of the rang were picked up and carried overboard before they oould ea.- the wave. When tne cry "man overooaru was i-aiTkd back there was a scene ot nx.metvtary nfUilon, but In an instant the splendid discipline of the crew was apiarent. Life buoy were cut loone and th sMor given to get a boat overboard. The high seas made this work one of peril and difficulty, but boat's crew, under Naval Cadet Walter R. Ohlrardi. son of Rear Admiral Gliir anM. retired, was finally lowered Meantime the drowning men fought bravely and three of them managed to keep afloat until their mates hauleu them out of the water. The remaining three inirn were not to be seen. The life boat cruleed back and forth over the ana, but the brave fellows had given up the struggle and met a sail or's fate. The Marbltihead also met with a se rious accident. One man was crushed to death, another was fatally Injured and six others were so badly hurt that several may lose their limbs. The de tails of the accident on the Marblehead are not obtainable. Tonight as she lies off the jetties, she presents a disman tled appearance. Her forecastle Is stove in and a portion of her superstructure and two hatches are carried away. The heavy sens that swept over her decks alio carried away her search-lipht. low er port boom, smashed the rails and swept overboard the life boats. Car penter Shawborle was crushed to death In the forecastle when 1t was wrecked by a monster wave, and Plumber Hick- ey had his skull smashed by the w reek- age and will probably die. Other vessels of the fleet show marks of their rough voyage, their upper works and deck hamper being dam aged. Friday night the fleet had heavy weather of It, but managed to keep within hailing distance of one another. Towards morning the squadron was hove to. The officers say it was one of the worst gales the fleet ever expe rienced. WARNER EXONERATED. Investigating Committee Finds Noth ing Agulnttt Him. Olympla, Wn., February 8. Both houses of the legislature reconvened this afternoon, after a recess since Friday, and immediately got down to work to clear the calendars. The most Important feature ot the day's proceedings w-as the report of the house senatorial investigating com mittee, which submitted a report In the Warner case and aksd for further time to inveetragte other matters un der consideration.

It reported that Warner had approached Squire with a llt of members who had formed to prevent a deadlock, and that a proposition to gat control of the com bination in Squire's Interest -was dls cuwed; that Squire entertained the proposition but demurred on account of not having the one thousand dollars which 'was wanted for the purpose of dining and wining the member of the combination ; that the men on the list had come together to prevent a dead lock and that there was nothing dls- honorairie Intended at, any time by such oreainlaaitlon.
