DULUTH AND ST. LOUIS COUNTY 563 acres, adjoining the original townsite on the south. It was platted in 1896. In 1902 another forty acres, known as the Southern addition, was brought within village limits ; it lies next south to the Pillsbury addition. In 1910, Hibbing sought to annex the townsite of Brooklyn, and election was held on April 19, 1910. Brooklyn was added to the village, and Ansley's addition came in 1916. Alice came into the village in 1913, including Koskiville and Sunnyside, and on September 13, 1919, the se. c]r. of ne. qr. of 57-21, adjoining Alice came in to provide the site for New Hibbing, where the other additions known as Central, Sargent and Eastern additions, belong to the Oliver Iron Mining Company. Village Hall.—The first city hall was built in 1895. It was replaced in 1909 by an imposing block of pressed brick, with Bedford stone trimmings, the three-story structure costing $135,000. and providing cjuarters for all municipal departments. New quarters, it seems, is to be provided in the new Hibbing. Public Library.— In 1907 Andrew Carnegie was approached and promised to donate $25,000 toward the cost of establishing a public library. The building was constructed, and opened in 1908. Its cost, including site, was $35,000. Improvements since made, in 1917, at a cost of $100,000, give Hibbing a public library better than any other on the ranges. The library had about 23,000 volumes to open its circulation with. In 1920, it had 8,414 active borrowers, and the circulation for the year was 171,032 books. The original librarion was Miss Margaret Paliper, who came to be recognized as the "Dean of the Range Librarians." Latterly, Miss Dorothy Huilbert has had charge of Hibbing library. Mainly through the initiative of Captain Wm. H. McCormack, Hibbing soon established a unique library service. Its "traveling library," a circulation of books in outlying locations by means of a bus, was instituted in 1910, and has been the subject of many magazine articles since that time. The service is a praiseworthy and appreciated one. ]\Iiss Charlotte Clark is the "traveling librarian," and the bus serves 25 mining locations in an area of 160 miles. A gong announces the arrival of the "Traveling Library," and it is heard in each location once a week, summer and winter. Hibbing also has two branch libraries. Oliver Club.—The Oliver clubhouse was an appreciated community service . It was built by the Oliver Mining Company, at an expense of $20,000, for the use of its employees, and their friends, and was equipped with many of the conveniences of a modern city clubhouse. Banking History.—The first bank organized and established in Hibbing was the Bank of Hibbing. It was merged into the Lumbermens and Miners Bank, in 1894, A. M. Chisholm being the first cashier of the latter bank. A bank known as the Security was founded in the nineties, and conducted business for some time, but was absorbed by the Lumbermen's and Miners', which remained a private banking house, owned by A. D. Davidson, A. D. McRae and A. M. Chisholm. In 1901 the First National Bank of Hibbing was organized, to succeed the Lumbermen's and Miners'. Its original capital was $25,000, but it subsequently was increased to $50,000. and it now has a surplus of more than $60,000. The original officers of the First National were: A. D. Davidson, president; A. D. McRae. vice; F. S. R. Kirbv. cashier. The present officers are: S. K. Kirby, president; Dr. D. C. Rood and Tentecost Mitchell, vice presidents;
