ABEL LEADS CITY'S LIST FIRST NAME IX 11114 DIRECTORY DEEMED GOOD OMEX. Portland' Citizens Include Georse Washlnerton, ivho Is Porter, and David AVnrfield, Bartender. The new 1914 Polk's directory opens with the name Abel, which may be con sidered at once a good omen and a slogan equal to Chicago's "I. Will." In fact this auspicious opening is suf ficient to enable thn adroit and hard ened punsters who talk at civic lunch eons to cast a favorable horoscope for Portland for the coming year. The name Abel Is in the list of those too late to classify, printed in the begin ning of the book. The classified list of names begins with Alfred Akervik. Alfred Akervik was in second place last year, followed by three others of the same name, while the first place was held by Charles J. Aagaard. Walter Syzner. who closed the litt last year, still holds his position. II. F. Ong would at first impression appear to have the distinction of hav ing the shortest name in the book, but closer examination discloses innumer able Ost's and Ott's, and still closer examination shows seven On's, all Chi nese. In the latter part of the book, where the X-Y-Z section is encountered, one is fondly reminded of the recent Balkan news dispatches by the array of Zschetz Zschetzche's, Zschokke's, Zuihlke, Zvivbbach's, Zlpzy's and Zygowski's, and names similarly prolific In con sonants. George Washington is classified as a porter, and David Warfield a barten der, while other great men are found occupying strange positions. The happiest name in the book is Fun Ho, of the Madison-street firm of Ming and Fun. The firm name of Neer & Farr, fuel dealers, would seem to possess the great3st potential advertising possibilities. FUNDS ARE APPORTIONED Portland Gets Largest Amount From County Tax Collections. Taxes collected during .February amounting to 1705,733.18 hava been ap portioned by John M. Lewis, County Treasurer, to the several funds. The largest amount has gone to the City of Portland, followed closely by school district No. 1 and the county and state. Next come the road fund and the Port of Portland.
