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.

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.

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,

I This school teacher from t'.w interior

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

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.

It looks more like atwo or three thousand dollar
machine. 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.
