Oregon's Circulating Libraries In her report made to the State Li brary Commission, at its meeting last Week. t.hf RffroaMr Mice Mamn'n rtll forcement of the local option liquor ed attention to the "increasing necessity , in Vregon for offering access to librar ies on political science. " Continuing, law. For some time rumors have been floating that special detectives have been in that city and that other meas ures were being considered to stop the illicit sale of intoxicants. A short time ago the sheriff with a deputy went to all the near-beer joints in Albany and purchased samples of the temper ance drink they were selling. These were sent to the chemist at the Oregon Agricultural College for analysis. The report has been received and will be laid before the grand jury. Arrests are likely to follow. In addition the city council has gone on record against these innkeepers and has decided to force them out of business or to pay al most a prohibitive tax. Some favor $1000, others unhesitatingly declare themselves in favor of $2000. Twelve or 15 dealers in these drinks will pro bably be forced out of business. the report says: "The people in Ore- , gon are, to a certain extent, 'going it alone' in their political experiences, but , there has been no case in which it has j not been possible to benefit greatly by i the experiences of some other nations I or states. This is especially true in ; some measures to be voted upon at the J next election guarantee of bank de i posits, single tax, classification and jseparation in taxation.,, The report ' shows that thirty new traveling libra . ries have been purchased since Janu ! ary and continue to show increasing popularity. The circulation of these libraries ranges from a few hundred upward to 2000 volumes. ' Sidewalk at Seaside. PLAN YOUR VACATION NOW at our expense A CHOICE OF FOUR FREE TRIPS Oregon Men Working For Law Both Senator Bourne and Congress man Hawley have written the Portland Chamber of Commerce that they will use their best efforts toward the enact ment of a law compelling railroad com panies to file statements regarding cost of roads and value of plant. The Chamber, some time ago, through its board of trustees, demanded ttie en actment of such a law, in order that a proper basis might be established upon which freight and passanger charges could rightfully be made. The water ing of stock was to be eliminated, and The new bridge at Seaside over the Necanicum was finished Sunday and Bridge street is in fine condition from the depot to the ocean. The new ce ment walk on the south side from the depot joins that on the Dresser block, leading to the bridge, which meets the cement walk on the west side, making a direct line to the ocean, so that strangers will no longer be obliged to inquire the way . to the beach. Last Sunday brought a large number of peo ple to that city. Some of them returned on the evening train, but many re mained to spend several weeks by the sea. The cottages are rapidly filling and already numbers of transient vis itors go by every train. I The Daily Gazette, 50c per month. IS OFFERED YOU FATTI V DURING ALASKA.
