ALL BOOST THE LI FO RARYTAX PROMINENT MEN URGE PASSAGE OF MEASURE BY LETTERS " THROUGH THE PRESS. WOMEN WORKLN'C FOR ITS ADOPTION Hon. Grant B. Dimick Presents Lib rary With Complete Edition of The Standard Encyclopedia, Worth $65. Dr. A. U Beatle, County School Superintendent T. j. Gary and Wil liam Sheahan, all earnest supporters of the movement to levy a special tax of one-half mill for the support of the Oregon City Public Library and Free Reading Room, have voiced their sentiments with letters to the Tele gram. These are only a few of the men who are urging the voters to cast tbeir ballots favorably upon the proposition to maintain the library. The proposed tax levy means only 50 cents upon each $1000 assessed valua tion and from every Indication there will be a large majority In favor of the plan. In fact there seems to be no opposition to It. The free library and reading room has been supported for the last year by voluntary contributions from public-spirited business and professional men, and the officers of the library association believe that the taxpayers of Oregon City should band together for the maintenance of the library and reading room. County Judge Grant B.' Dlmlck yes terday presented the library with the latest and most complete edition of the Standard Encyclopedia, valued at $65. This is probably the most valu able single gift ever presented to the library association and Judge Dlmlck is to be commended for his generos ity. Members of the Live Wires of the Oregon City Commercial Club are making It their particular business to advance the educational interests of the city by attempting to secure the passage of the ordinance providing for the half mill tax levy.

The laws of Santa Claus are good, and In tho end are what we would desire they were that Is to say that this is everybody's day. A single sock above the fire is all a body should require, and there before the glowing log nobody keen to be a hog. In such a spirit wns It said that, all days are to get abend except this one, which was designed for everyone to get behind. The merry holidays will come, and Santa, sliding on his turn, will belly buster to the grate, and do his best at any rate. What remains of Congress will ex change experiences at Washington during the month, and the mnn who sends Mr. Tnft the biggest Christmas turkey will get a good outside Job around the White House. Then January will be here To cheer us now and then, And In the glad and new-born year We'll all swear off again. NOTED SCULPTOR HERE. Spent Thanksgiving With His Broth er, Rev. Proctor. A.
