crease of approximately 10,-
000 more than the number
borrowed in 1956. The total
increase in library circulation
for the past three years is
72,935.
There were 11,598 more
books were checked out by
junior readers in 1957 than
in 1954; and 61,334 more were
borrowed from the adult de
partment, constituting an in
crease of more than 100 per
cent in adult use of the library
in the three-year period.
The largest daily circula
tion recorded during the year,
at the headquarters library
only1,012 volumes, was the
largest day's business in the
history of the library.
New readers registered dur
ing the calendar year totaled
3,605, and 6,287 volumes were
added to the collection. Of
these, 2,186 were donated by
library patrons and 4,101 were
purchased with budgeted
funds. A total of 1,180 fcooks
were commercially rebound,
and 3,472 were repaired in
the library's processing de
partment. There were 1,795 reference
questions answered for in
quirers. During the last four
months, 11,559 readers spent
some of their leisure hours
in the library reading rooms;
a tabulation of those remain
ing in the library to read was
not kept previously to Sept
ember. A total of 35 groups of
visitors, clubs and classes,
brought 1,072 individuals to
the library for a tour of its
departments and an outline
of its various activities. There
were 106 supervisory visits
to county branches were made
by members of the library
staff. No increase has been
made in the size of the lib
rary staff during the past 10
years.
Indications are reported by
the librarian that 1958 is al
ready demonstrating further
increase in library use by
Jackson county readers. Dur
ing the first two weeks this
new year daily circulations at
headquarters have approach
ed the record breaking 1,000
books; as many as 25 new bor
rowers have been registered
in a day; and up to 52 read
erg have been counted using
the adult reading rooms at
one time.

Klamath Timber
Sale Bill Offered
Washington - Iff) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D
Ore.) Thursday reluctantly in
troduced a bill containing ad
ministration proposals for dis
posing of timber land on the
Klamath Indian reservation in
Oregon.
Neuberger said he would
prefer to see approval of his
own proposal that the federal
government make an outright
purchase of the land.
But he said in a Senate
speech that the administra
tion insisted that the land first
should be offered for sale to
private parties.
The federal government
plans to terminate its control
orer the Klamath reservation
which leaves the problem of
how to dispose of its timber
lands.
Under the administration
proposal contained in the bill
introduced by Neuberger pri
vate parties . who bought
Klamath land would have to
agree to operate it on a sus
tained yield basis.
Whatever land is not taken
by private individuals would
be bought by the government.
Neuberger said he had
"serious misgivings" about the
administration approach to
the problem, but as chairman
of the Senate Indian affairs
subcommittee he said it
"merits consideration."
The senator said the sub
committee will -hold hearings
on both his and the admini
stration's proposal Feb. 3-4-5.

181,600 Estimated
At Recreation Areas
An estimated 181,600 peo
ple visited recreation areas
in Rogue River National for
est last year, according to
Forest Supervisor Carroll E.
Brown.
In addition, an estimated
220,000 traveled the roads
through the forest without
stopping to camp or picnic,
he said. The figure is esti
mated to be an increase of
about 40,000 more than 1956,
and is the largest number on
record.
Figures are determined by
computing the number reg
istered at five traffic counters,
which were moved from area
to area in each of the ranger
districts, the number of
campers who registered and
estimates by rangers in each
district, Brown said.
Visits included 34,000
camping, 19,000 picnicking,
18,000 swimming, 51,000 fish
ing and 8,700 hunting. There
were an estimated 4,400 par
