Ruthlese Destruction of Books- Napoleon was indirectly responsible for the destruction of a vast quantity of books. In 1812 he framed a law al- lowing goods to be imported from the United Kingdom, provided that the | importer shipped an equivalent quan- | tity of French goods to this country. | French merchants generally met the requirements of this law by shipping | books to the value of the wares they wished to ‘import. Having served to gain the necessary permit, the books were thrown overboard on the way to England, as there was no demand for them here. Shippers could well afford to do this, for coffee and sugar were then about ten times dearer in France than in England. It has been esti- mated that books to the nominal value articles Ferguson Charbonneas FRANKLIN SQUARE BANK DEPOSITORS The Uncas National Bank offers every accommodation, consistent with safety and conservative banking methe ods.

To End Log Rafts. Columbia rivermen believe that the recent disasters overtaking a number of the ocean-going log rafts which were being sent from the river to €alifornia have been the means of sounding the doom of this method of shipping lum ber down the coast. In support of this conclusion it is pointed out that the steamer Carlos, on her last trip took out a deckload of piling from Stella. Heretofore the great bulk of the piling from that point has been shipped to California in the form of rafts—Shipping Illustrated, Many Soldiers Sulcide.
