This is the basis upon which the Carnegie . libraries are erected all over the country and assures this city a li- brary. The matter will be taken up at once.

Denies Responsibility. The lumber company in its defense snied that it was responsible for the jury, and charged that O'Brien had fpted a position in the camp with full knowledge of its attendant angers, and. further alleged that e accident would not have happen J if he had not been careless.

Finley, on his recent visit at Washington, D. C., the government has been pursuaded to donate 15 elk to the State of Or egon. These animals will be taken from the forest reserves of Wyoming, crated and transported to Oregon as soon as the people of this state pro vide an adequate pasture for them. They will become the sole property of Oregon and serve to' perpetuate a race of noble animals that is rap idly becoming extinct. Big Elk Park. ' In the -northwestern- part of the state there is a 2500-acre pasture that has been set aside by the gov ernment for testing, the utility of a coyote proof fence.- It is said to have proven effective for that pur pose and the forestry service, ac cording to Warden Finley, willing to give this big park to the state as an elk reserve. The matter of loca tion, however, has not been settled, aa this is a question that will be left largely to the state at large, as it is distinctly a matter of public interest. Magnificent Specimens. ' The Wyoming elk are magnificent specimens and it is believed that they will thrive in this state. For tunately, the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture will meet part of the expenses of crating and transporting the antlored herd from Wyoming to this state. The food for the winter will have to be provided by the people of. Oregon. It is expected they will be moved by February and some definite ac tion as to location must be taken before that time. Oregon Won. Several other states have tried to secure these elk in the past, and Oregon ought to feel proud at hav ing been successful in interesting the government in its decision to honor Oregon in this way. The wild elk will soon be extinct. With a starter of 15 animals, there ought soon to be quite a respectable herd. It is believed that the people will stand behind Warden Finley in his effort, as he has given his word that Oregon ' n . 1 A - 1 .1 - : win nna a piace io nuw iuee u mals if the government would give them.

The annual inspection over the Pacific: System of the Southern Pa cific is now on. The assistant chief engineer, with the division and dis trict engineers, are now traveling over the lines of the company mak ing a, close examination of every particle of roadbed. The members of this party are inspecting the bal lasting work, the drainage, the sta tions, pump houses and fuel oil and power plants. This is an annual af fair on the Southern Pacific and the competition between the different divisions is unusually keen. Intense rivalry has been ereated. The super intendent of one division does not like to be taunted by officials of a rival division and he strives, and the meu under hint strives, to make their part of the system the best. Gold and silver medals are ' to be awarded for best kept districts, sec tions and stations. ... Creates Eivalry. This is healthy, efficient rivalry, Section foreman, roadmasters, train masters and even division superin tendents vie with each other in their efforts to make their particular piece of track' the best on the road, or to have it said that the trains under their supervision are handled prompt ly and on schedule time. It is a part of the Southern Pacific's campaign for efficiency. It spells successful railroading. During the fiscal year which ended laa June the Tucson division received the best average of the entire system. The best road master's district was in this divis ion, while the best section was on the Sacramento division. Divisions Added. The Salt Lake division between Sparks, Nevada, and Ogden, Utah, and the Portland division between Ashland and Portland, have been ad ded to the Pacific system since the last annual inspection and the other eight divisions in the road have been taken exceptional care of their roadbed, etc., in an endeavor not to let these new divisions take the hon- ponsinii PROMISE OE SUCCESS i FULLY FIVE HUNDRED BIRDS EXPECTED TO BE ON EXHI BITION HERE FIRST WEEK IN JANUARY.
