CARNEGIE RUMOR DOUBTED Jap' Professor Does Not Think He TA'IU Give $10,000,000 to Waseda. DENVER. May 1. "I do not believe there is anything In the report that Andrew Carnegie may give 110.000.000 to TVaaeda University." said Professor T. TakasugU of that university. In Den ver, today. "There Is more truth, how ever, to the report that John D. Rocke feller may make a contribution to the university." he continued, "and It Is not likely to be declined on account of a religious technicality, as reported.

TRAVELERS RETURN HOME Two Boys Decide Parental Roof Is Better Than Roughing It. BENT. Or- May 2. (Special). That home Is the best place after all. and Bend undoubtedly the most desirable spot In Central Oregon, is the decision reached by two 14-year-old boys, trn eet btone and Floyd Carney, who yes terday returned to thla place, weary trom ttU Journtrlax &d wlib IS cents between them and financial aero, from a three days' runaway trip. Thursday the two boys decided that a life of roaming adventure aras the "only thing." So they slipped from their homes here and did a roaming go. Whatever their original destination may have been the furtherest point reached by the young adventure seek ers was Mecca, a new . town on the Oregon Trunk Railway, a few miles north of Madras. Evidently this was not the Mecca of their destiny. At any rate homesick and nearly "broke" they turifed Bendward again. Starting on their travels with but two dollars, about the time they got to Reamsnd on the home trip. 20 miles from Fend, so little was left of their original capital that they were forced to go without anything more substan tial in the way of food than a cup ot coffee. At Redmond they begged a ride on an auto truck that was bring ing freight to Bend, and on It made PEOPM-VS TICKET WIS IN" aiLYERTOX ELECTIO.V. ir1-! - - - ' ' ' ' "- P. IM Bten. STLVERTON'. Or. May S- (Spe cial.) r. L. Brown, a native of Sllverton. was elected Mayor at the regular city election held here Monday, over William ,Srvlce. who wa running on the Citizens ticket. Mr. Brown head ed the People's ticket, and the vote stood 18S to 145. Both men' were considered perfectly com petent for the position, and the choice seemed a matter of per sonal preference. The main con test was for the position of Council men. and this also seemed to be more or less a personal affair. Those on the losing side chose the name of the "Citizens' Pro gressive" ticket, while the win ners stood upon a platform favoring an economical adminis tration, and advocating the elec tion of the Chief of Police and all other officers. Instead of ap pointing them by the Council, as at present. Now that the con teat Is over, the best of feeling seems to exist. The entire ticket as elected Is as follows: Mayor. P. L.

Vfftl tmkilUTniH G ill I Cj SI KiNOS-ssaJ Camden N J and - white Label THE NEW YCL0PAE ENC The 11th Edition of the Ency clopaedia Britannica Is an Up-to-Date Survey of Human Thought, Research and Achievement The Most Comprehensive and Author itative "Exposition of Knowledge That Has Ever Been Published. More Than 20,000 Applications Have Been Registered, of Which 89 Are for the Thin, Flexible India Paper Volumes (1 inch Thick), Instead of the Volumes Printed on Ordinary Book Paper (2 inches thick). A Limited Period was fixed durin? which 'ad vance" application might be reg istered, and general publicity was given to the opportunity extend ed to early subscribers to enjoy the benefit of a substantial con cession in price. A Large Concession was allowed to those who by sub scribing promptly should assist the publishers to print and bind the first impression economically that is, with actual fore-knowledge of the preference of the pub lio. The Immediate Success of the original announcement in November, 4157 applications be ing received in the first 30 days, made it apparent very soon that all preliminary estimates of the probable early demand would have to be disregarded. The printing order was then increased to 17,000 sets, all of which had been subscribed for by the end of February. Undoubtedly the Low Price of $4.00 a volume was the chief factor which called forth so many early subscriptions. The old 9th Edi tion (25 volumes, 850 pages each) cost $7.50 a volume in cloth, and $10.00 in Half Russia. The new edition of the Encyclopaedia Bri tannica averages 1000 Pages a volume, and contains more than 40,000,000 words. In view of its broad usefulness as an instrument of popular culture and as a trust worthy guide to sound learning, the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press (the English University of Cambridge having taken over the copyright) regard ed it as an especial part of their obligation to the public, in giving the new work the imprimatur ot the University, to offer it at a popular price. , The Comparative Cheapness of the new Encyclopedia Bri tannica will, it is believed, im press any one who compares its contents, both as to size and char acter, with those of the general run of books. While a collection of 40,000 articles written by 1500 specialist authorities and consti tuting a complete inventory of knowledge can be had in no other form so convenient and so acces sible (the India paper volumes being easy to hold and therefore easy to read), the same informa tion, if presented in separate books, would make a library of some 400 volumes, and would cost not less than four times the price of the nresent work. Its cheap ness at the price at which it may be had until May 31st is furtner emphasized by the fact that the Editorial Cost of $815,000 and the total cost, including type setting, platea, maps, etc., of $1,150,000, are yet to be recov ered, so that the distribution of the Encyclopaedia Britannica at the present prices is absolutely without regard to profits, and it is necessary that the publishers shall charge for the second dis tribution considerably more than is now asked. The low Advance-of-Publication Prices will, however, have served a use ful purpose if they shall prove to be the means of effecting a dis tribution of the work quickly among the more intelligent book- buyers and among' libraries, insti tutions, and learned societies, for the reason that their indorsement of the new Encyclopaedia Britan nica will give it ultimately the same position in public estimation that has always been accorded to the work in ten previous and suc cessful editions since the first edition appeared in 1763-71, , i ANNICA C,7) Present Low Prices TO BE Withdrawn May 31st A SAVING OF $10 BY THOSE WHO DO NOT DELAY The First Distribution j of the new Eleventh Edition of : this celebrated work will be lim-. ited to applications that shall be : registered to May 31st, and until ; this date the present advertised terms of subscription will hold good, but after May 31st, a new schedule of higher prices (an in- crease of $10.00 a set) will go' into effect. i Complete Publication of the work has now been reached, ; and the special arrangements for ' accepting ' ' advance of publica- j tion" applications at ' substantial concessions in price will bo dis-. continued. ' Only the Instant and anatnlned response of the public to the present offer by enabling: larsa and advan tageous contracts to be made for pa per, printing and binding has Justi fied the publishers in continuing tbo low "advance" prices, now $10.00 less than thoy will be after May SI. LARGER! USEFULNESS i OF THE' NEW INDIA PAPER FORMAT The convenience of the new dress in which the new Encyclo- paedia Britannica ia offered con-' stitutes an advantage which can-; not be fully appreciated unless it is considered in connection with' tho uses to which the book is in-! tended and designed to be put. ! There was always something1 formal, if not almost repellant, ; about the old Encyclopaedia Bri-! tannica. All its qualities were of the massive kind, including its physical makeup, and in taking down one of its volumes one hadi a good deal of feeling of a school boy settling down to do his les sons. After all, the main pur-1 pose of a work of reference is to be referred to and of a work of in- formation to be read, and both are largely defeated under such cir-! cumstances. Incomparably the ' greatest benefit resulting from the innovation of India paper is! the more INTIMATE character : of the new format. The delight-1 ful handiness of the India paper; volumes, their readableness, thej fact that they can be picked up; and held in one hand and (uv either of the leather bindings)': bent back as easily as a magazine, are a sure guarantee that when people come to discover for them selves how absorbing a story these volumes have to telL they, will fill the void of many an otherwise empty and wasted i hour. It was Thackeray who said ' that the great sacrifices of life j were comparatively easy ; but that '. it took a hero to face its minor j discomforts. On the same prin-i ciple a book that is uncomfortable : to read is only too likely to end, up by not being read at all. j Prospectus, containing sped-! men pages on India paper, on re- j ceipt of request.
