by cltlxens against tbe action of th
Mount Hood Light Power Company
placing so many tO-foot poles on th
sidewalks on on side of the streets,
with high-power wires of 4000 volts
and over strung on them, the Council
has appointed a committee to confer
with the company's officials and ask
them to distribute their poles differ
ently. Neither of the telephone com
panies will risk giving service on those
streets where the high-power wires are
placed on both sides of the street un
less the telephone wires are adequately
protected at the expense of th city.
It was said that this would probably
cost thousands of dollars. Both the
telephone companies are thus blocked
at present. Tha Council also decided
to insist that all wires be put under
ground on Jersey street, as th fran
chise provides.
The expert auditors smployed by the
old Council to Inspect the books of the
city made a lengthy report and their
bill of 5! was ordered paid. They
found the books badly kept, with fre
quent errors, especially in the bond
Hen docket. Many assessments for
street Improvement which had been
paid were not credited. Radical changes
in the method were recommended by
the experts.
A bond Issue of $20,000 was ordered
by the Council to pay for street im
provements already completed this
Spring. T,h bonds ar to run 10 years

A SUMMARY OF FACTS ,
CONCERNING
The New (Eleventh) Edition of the
:ncyclo
"Every professional man, and every family, with
growing children, seeking information, should have this
invaluable work in the library."
(From a letter written by a Supreme Court Judge.)
The eleventh edition is a
completely new, up-to-date
work, in 28 quarto volumes
and an index comprising
500,000 eferences, pub
lished by the press of
The University of Cambridge,
England,
AND ISSUED SIMULTANEOUSLY
In All English-Speaking couninea.
It contains nearly 2S,000
. At
Datres. 4U.UUU arncies, ti,
mnmn words, over uuu
VVVJVVV 7 )
text-illustrations, 450 full
page plates and 569 maps.
The work has been pro
duced as a whole, not piece
meal.
The sum of human knowl
edge at the end of the year
1910 (with all the latest re
sults of discovery, research
and invention) is recorded
and presented in the most
accessible form.
The organization and writ
ing of the work occupied
nearly eight years, yet, every
article is up-to-date.
$1,150,000 was spent for
contributions, office ex
penses, type-setung, mapo
and plates, etc., belore tUe
work was offered for sale.
The articles have been
contributed by 1500 author
itative writers (including
200 Americans) from all civ
ilized Countries Histori
ans, Archaeologists, Geog
raphers, Ethnographers,
Ethnologists, Theologians,
Scientists, Philosophers,
Economises, Statisticians,
Sociologists, Financiers,

ness and Commercial Ex

other practical experts.
The new edition is more
comprehensive in scope,
more cosmopolitan in char
acter, more practical in pur-;
pose, more efficient in or
ganization, . a more perfect
instrument of knowledge
than any work of the kind in
existence.
No subject of human in
terest has been ignored or
slighted.
The work has been writ
ten not by men of one nation
for the use of one nation, but
by men and women of every
civilized country from
Norway to Japan, and from
California to New Zealand
for the instruction and
pleasure of the intelligent
men and women of the en
tire English-speaking world.
The needs of the practical
man have received as much
attention as the require
ments of the scholar.'
Art, romance and recrea
tion have their due place, as
well as science, religion, and
abstruse and technical mat
ters. More than ever before the
work is one to read and en
joy, not merely a work to
refer to.
Everything is in it for
everybody: It is "all things
to all men."
These improvements and
developments in scope, char
acter and organization have
been accompanied by a revo
lution in the material form
of the work brought about
by the adoption of India
paper and flexible bindings.
In the India paper edition
the typography is clear and
attractive, and the volumes
are beautiful examples of
the bookmaker's art. ""They
are so thin and light that
they can be held for reading
in one hand, yet they each
contain 1000 pages; and they
are so strong that they can
be bent back, cover to cover,
without injury. The vol
umes are each only 1 inch
thick. The complete set of
29 volumes occupies only 29
inches of space.
