I STATE UBRARY PROVES Selections of 50 Books Sent To Remote Districts Make Winter Cheerful The state library is perhaps the most extensive traveler iu Oregon. During the fiscal year ending October 1, the traveling library alouo circulated 23, 414 books and the majority of these were sent to country places where thero is no library and where books are not to be found. It is to the out of the way and alwiost forgotten sections of tno state that the library travels most- iy. The 103,375 books in the Oregon stato library are for the general pub lic and any ono may secure a book by writing the state librarian, Miss Corne lia Marvin. And not only may a hook lie Rent to any part of the state, but tho librarian and her corps of assist ants are at the service of the public ill selecting books ou any special sub ject desired. To aid the communities w'.iero books are scarce and not to be obtained, Bta tioiiH are established and books put up in units of 50 nnd shipped to these stations, to remain six months. A tem porary librarain for the stations will bo appointed upon the application of ten tux payers, or school district offi cers, and this library will cost only the transportation charges. Books in 50 pound nareel post packages may be sent 150 miles from Salem at the par cel post rates for the second zone, which is 54 cents. Over 000 of these library stations have been established iu tho state, and 400 of these are per manent, receiving a new supply of books every six months. Words of Appreciation. While tho state library is doing very' much good throughout the state and while the circulation is rapidly increas ing, tho librarian, Miss Marvin, feels there aro thousands in the state who do not understand the benefits to be derived from the library, and tho ease with which these books may be se cured, t. letter addressed to Miss Mar vin always receives prompt attention. This is a state library and any one who wishes to read on a special sub ject hits only to write tho librarian, when a .ist of special books will be sent from which a selection may be made. As evidence that the library is ap preciated by those living in the ex treme rural districts, Miss Marvin has received the following letters lately asking for information and Bhowiug the appcerintion of those who have been receiving tho benefits of the li brary: I have a country school of 15 pu pils ranging iiom 0 to 14 years. Some of them have never seen a Christmas tree. Will you plcaso Bend mo a pro gram for a Christmas entertainment f" " lou con hardly imagine what your library means to the peeplo in tho mountains, with mail ouly three times a week ami that over three to six miles away. We are all poor people who read these books and not able to fcny them. We huve no church or Sunday school or entertainment for children or grown up folks. Without your books, these long evenings would have been unbearable. Here is a letter of appreciation from WON'T TELL THEM demeanor and of the fatalistic atti tude of men who knew they would be "tho next." lie tolls of how tho fighting men aro no more concerned than if they were at ordinary day labor, how soldiers and officers, after a few days, "think no more of tak ing part in an artillery duel or trench light than of plowing, bookkeeping or hlacksmithlng." But the feature of the book at tracting attention In Washington is the intimate inside views and thoughts of the men who are making the war even the men who would make war on os, if the United States should become entangled. Srnutor Bcveridge has recorded faithfully all that wan said to him by these men. But on whut the Kaiser said in his two - hour talk ha ia ulrnnirolv ailanL 1 II 9X-" Mm lit one of the larger cities of the state: All the Reading They Have "The music study club made excel lent use of the books yon sent and both they and the drama club wish to thauk you for the privilege of waving the nelp of the state books." here is a man who received valuable help from the library by telling just wliat he wanted., lie wrote: "1 am very much in need of work ing drawings and tested measurements for grado swings and bars. Have vou any literature ou hand that bears on the construction of the above?" The party writing the following let ter stated his case plainly. Ho writes: "This is a farming eounminity. I'm people arc fairly well educated but most of them take no papers or maga zines excepting a farm journal. They need fiction, something to make thoiii forget the daily routine but 1 am sure they would not appreciate Dickens, inacicoiy ami otners of tne same class. One man said he hoped we could get ihim nn exciting story." I This school teacher from t'.w interior i of the state understood that the library. was ncrc to nelp ner. Jier request for books was granted, and she writes: "The books and Christmus program sent me were just what I needed aui through their help 1 have beea able to have my school house and proumls laid out and something done towards their ornamentation." Auotlier school teacher up in the mountains learned that the state li brary was for the people in general and especially for those who have not Tend ing facilities. The traveling library is now traveling up her way in the moun tains. .Just to get information, she wrote Miss Marvin as follows: "Could you please seud me data as to tho traveling library? J am teach ing a little school up iu the mountains where we have much need of good lit erature nnd no means of securing it. Wouldt you send a library to the school distrh'tf 1 would like to know about this as soon as possible for we would like to get out a list of books and get them iu whilo the weather will per mit." Spokane Bridge Broke: Street Car Into River (Continued From Page One.) cupants of the second car rushed panic j stricken to the-street: I Within a very few minutes a great crowd had gathered around the ap proach to the bridge and on thn bank at tho river. Police had great difficulty iu Bireicuing lines uua Keeping back the excited mob. Tugs and rowboats requisitioned by tho police soon wero at work above the wreckage. Many persons wore pulled half conscious from 'the water, among them the 12 who were taken to the em ergency hospital. The cnuse of the collapse of the bridgo beneath the eat- could not be determined. It was stated that a thor ough investigation would be made, Clash. Came Without Warning. According to persons on the second car, the cave-in came with apparently no warning. There was no crash nun no sound of grinding timber. The bridge apparently dropped beneath the woight of tho car, which slid noiselessly through a great hole into tho river. A majority of tho passengers were Inhorers on their way to work. Sev eral working girls were aboard Hie car, but it was believed that all of these wero raved. The car which went into the river was being operated on the Astor street lino. It had reached ulmost the exact center of the bridge and was running slowly whou tho middle span of the structure gave way. As the car shot through the hole, it turned in tho air. striking the water at light angles to the bridge. The con ductor of the second cur, ou the Hill yard street line, wns -warned by the sudden extinguishing of .the (lights of the first, ear and set his brakes. His car groaned its way to tho very brink of the. gup in (he bridge, tottered on tho edge, aud finally cuught fust by its trucks, though tilting ut a perilous angle, Firemen with long ladders were able to nach tho Astor car, and a piece of tho flooring of the wrecked bridge. On tho top of the car perched the motor man and conductor nnd eight passen gers who hud extricuted tin -niselves. Only ike lop of the car wns above the vuter and the firemen were unable to cuvo any of the passengers who failed to climb through the windows. One of the first of the injured to get out of the water wan Walter Cloveluud, who said: All Went in River. "The lights flashed out ami every thing went (link. The first thing that' 1 knew we were iu the river and I' could fuel the water coming up about my j heiid. Homo way I got out nnd onto a i piece of the floor of the bridge, it seemed years until snino ono clime. All the time I could hcur groiins nnd cries from tho other passengers. " The accident occurred in the dark of the early morning when hundreds of people were hurrying to their wurk. The cars were crowded. Kvcry person on the death cur was reported to huve been hurled into the! river. It wns several minutes before rescuers wero at work, but during tlmt time at least a dozen men struggled to the batiks where they were pulled from the water by spectators. ) Tiu;.t and rowboats, requisitioned by the police were rushed to the spot where tho car had piled up, n mass of debris showing above the water. Four persons who were struggling feebly In the water wero pulled into the boats. One of these, n vonlli. u-im iiff.-rinn ?,,. t iir-! l.U 1 1 1 - " J - 'in U l. w HI 11 1 1, W II U III!

As the bodies of the victims or the injured were recovered they wero hur ried Bshore, thn police pounding theit way through tho crowds, to automobile mbulniicea. It wns slated at tho emergency ho pitnl that one or two of the Injured might nut recover. Estimates of the number of injured varied, and at Unit hour no accurntn statement could be made. .

How is it possible to put out such a classy machine jit so low a price? It is just this way: This car is designed and built by scientific car builders noted all over this country, France and Germany. They know every phase of car building from A to Z, and they have proven their skill by the wonderful product they have put upon the market.' About the first of August this year they took two stock cars from the shops in Jackson, Mich., and raced them all over the Middle West and South winning all events from one mile standing and start to one hundred mile races, breaking many world's records. When we have a horse that goes through the season and wins everything in the 2:05 class we say that he is a wonder, not any more so .than a Briscoe Car that will stand and start and go a mile in 51 seconds and 100 miles in less than a minute, they both must have the stuff in them. This car has a great many improvements that no other cars have. We can sell you a four cylinder car you take it and run it for thirty days and if you decide you want an eight cylinder car we will install an eight cylinder engine in the same body. We can make the change for. you as easy as a man can change his shirt; for instance, if your shirt is buttoned up the front you can change without mussing your hair. This car can be seen and demonstrated at 340 North Church street. You must see this car to appreciate its real worth. Rutherford and Shields 310 N. CHURCH ST.
