"Mrs. Sissons left five dollars to buy books 'because of the 

 pleasure derived from the Lodge.' The money was invested in 

 Dr. C. Hart Merriam's 'Dawn of the World' (Indian legends), 

 Sienkiewicz's 'With Fire and Sword' and O, Henry's 'The 

 Trimmed Lamp.' 



"The following donations were received for the library:

It is much desired that contributions of money for that purpose 

 may enable the committee to provide for the coming season the 

 small tables to match the chairs presented by Mr. James Mills, 

 and that books treating of the birds, plants and trees of the 

 region be donated to the library. 



It has also been suggested that the photographers who were on 

 the last Yosemite Outing present albums of their best prints 

 to the Lodge library. Only in this way can visitors, unable to see 

 the entire park, gain any adequate idea of its outlying magnificence 

 and grandeur. Respectfully submitted, 



Lydia Atterbury, 

 J. N. LeConte, 

 E. T. Parsons, Chairman, 

 Le Conte Memorial Lodge Committee.
