MAY 26 1916 We note that the Athena Branob Library is lo the fore for the month of Apiil with a oiionlatioo ot 596 tooks, bet closest competitor teing the i Milton traooh, with a oiroolatioo of 400. Only in one inetaooe since the branob libraries were started bas tbe Athena branob failed to lead in tbe monthly reports to the Oonnty Libiar ian, and tben only by ten books. Ibia is indeed a epleodid showing, one which the toard of lady managers may take commendable pride, With this enviable leoord above all otber towns in tbe aoonty, except Fen dleton, is it not to be wondered at that some effort bas not been made to se oure a suitable library bnilding for Atbena especially when tbe foot is taken into ooupidoration that 'towns having branches of much lower circu lation are on tbe eve of aeouiiog lib rary buildings oosting from $5,000 to $7,500? Is it not abont time Atbena should join tbe Ladies' Library Board - in a united effort to seanre a scitable borne for onr library' We load that a committee compris ing business men representing all sea tlons of tbe state, bas been organized to popularize a movement for an amendment tn tbe prohibition law, making it lawful within tbe state to manufacture malted liquors oontaio ing not more than fonr per cent aloobol aud lo sell the prodnot direct to tbe oonsumer; in otber words, delivering the state over to the brewery owners. A bill bas been drafted providing for tbe amendment and it will be placed oo the ballot at tbe November elec tion where it will be properly de feated. It Is said that tbs list of u nines attached to the amoudineut to be proposed numbers "some two hun dred of the Lest known men in Oregon.

(A'csiuling npon Pendleton's sua oess in naming tbe qnecn of Portland's Rose Show, the Pondlutou Tribune nivs: "Pendleton has contribnted to Portland a charming Queen nf tbe Uose Festival and some twelve bnn died dollars lu money. We oongrat olato the Queou and PorlJsud. The $1!100 will be convenient, aud will re lieve Portland ot that contribution to the Festival expense fund.

A. Miller, damage to store front, $600. Tbe buildings burned fiercely and only heroic work ty tbe ore depart ment saved other buildings in tho vie inity from destruction. Burning shin gles flew before the wind, bnt forfait ately the roofs were yet damp from rains of the previous night. How ever, bnrning brands ignited tbe roof of tba Press building twice, tot prompt application of water averted damage. The only casualties reported were tbe loes of a pet dog, sleeping in tbe Harden barn, and three kittens, mourned by Miss Nina Tbarp, whioh were bnrned in tbe hotel. Two cows were resoned from tbe bnrning barn, but (be dog, bewildered by tbe flames, refused to come out and wai trapped ty tbe falling building. Tbe Price brothers of tbe Weston Are department motored over witb sev eral sections of fire hose and though the fire was under control when tbey arrived, Atbena ia deeply appreciative of tbe proffered ascistanoe. Tbe origin of the fire is considered extraordinary in view of tbe faot tbat scarcely bad tbe alarm Bounded, short ly before nine o'olock, wben tbe entiie structure was a mass cf flames and praotioally ready to collapse before water could be turned on. Tbe Atb ena hotel buraed more slowly and tbe Bremen were enabled to save tbe ad joining briok building, oooupied by the new motion piotnre theater, en tirely witbont loss exoept a broken skylight. Tbe old livery eta ble bas long been regarded as a fire trap and its going bad trongbt apprehension to property owners in the distriot where it was lo oated. It bad teen vacant for some time and bad only opened nnder lease a week before tbe tire. No one was at the stable wben tbe flre broke out. No live stock were stabled there and J. W. Davis, of Milton, tbe owner, estimated bis personal propel ty loss at about $100. The firemen and euteide helpers bad hard work in saving the home of Mr. aud Mrs. Harden, and 'hey are deeply grateful for the consideration and care ful work done Ly so many williug hands, Tbe furniture and honsebold goods were moved out of Ihe bouso and back again with practically no damage whatever, and Mis. Harden was ready to serve meals to ber board ers tbe following morning, At this point of tbe tire Ibe nozzlemen were almost blistered by the heat for at one time tbey were facing tbe burning liv ery stable, the bate), tbe Harden tarn and outbuildings and at this stage of the file tbe roof of tbe Press building burst into flame.
