Only a genius can afford to dlsre- r accomplishments of other. as " - 1"u literature. f-ew are geniuses, and If a man wishes to stand unsupported he must builtf his own foundation to hold him. Materials for this foundation come from Che experience of others. To learn this, one must consult books, magazines, pamphlets and periodicals where the facts are recorded. This Is the advice of Mrs. Caroline L. B. Kelllher, Portland's municipal librarian, and. a veritable walking en cyclopedia who makes It her business to furnish material to all who wish it. No matter how solid Is the 'founda tion, Mrs. Kelllher can add to it and is doing it for business men and offi cials every day. 18,424 Articles Collected While an employe of the public li brary, Mrs. Kelllher makes her head quarters among the technical and semi technical book in the municipal refer ence library In the city hall. Her tips on city administrations and improve ments are readily received, and strange as It may sound, officials frequently adopt them as their own, taking what ever advertising they are able to get Among tljs books to be found In her collection are city charters, ordinances. municipal reports, tecanlcal and muni cipal journals, bound copies of new paper clippings, current periodicals and others. But within Mrs. Kellihers reach and within reach of every city official and employe, are thousands of volumes from the Central library. On the cases in the municipal refer ence room are oai3 books and pam phlets.but the material circulated during the year whlchr closed November, con sisted of 18,424 pieces, made up of 7438 periodicals, specif icat. etc., and 10,986 books ana pamphlets. The additional matter came from the Central library building. College Students Helped WJiUe Mrs. Kelliher gives her time l supplying me neeas oi maiviauais " mo cuy naii, sne is aiways on ine alert for material which is of Interest to the general public. Pertinent com- ment on pubilo matters is posted on a bulletin board near the door of her office and is read by hundreds pass ing through the corridors of the city hall daily. , The municipal librarian visits practi cally every office in the city hall dally to learn the needs of the officials and employes and frequently her office is filled with employes doing research work. It is also the headquarters for students of the colleges and schools of Portland reaulred to gather informa tion on municipal governments and af fairs. As pointed out by Mrs. Kelliher, the spirit of the municipal reference li brary is service. It is the; business of the library when questions arise in the daily work to obtain all available information. Xtes Information Obtained "As an instance of this." said Mrs. Kelliher, "the library obtained much information, particularly from New York, which was used in the framing of building, plumbing and electrical codes. A shortJttme ago th price of lumber -fj-rfearly prohibited the use of wooaen !al crosswalks, and a new type of cross- M t MA a4 a- tya Martinnf of WUIH W UK""fc . - ' public works sought the reference li brary as to what was being don along this line in other cities, with the re sult that a new type of asphaltio con crete sidewalk has been selected, "We also write to other cities and get their particular experience. Some experiments may have proved a fail ure. Portland profits by the experience of a sister city a"nd by getting outside information is often saved from failure in like experiments. Especially is this true as to pavements in other cities. "The library undertakes to do a like service for the public as its lnforma- tion is available to everyone. mation may be sought on rae xeie- phone." Mrs. Kelliher is one of the most in teresting persons in tbe city hall. She has traveled extensively and is con sidered well equipped to handle the work. She has studied medicine, law and many other subjects. On one end of a recently patented clothes brush is an absorbent pad to enable cleaning, to be done with any desired liquid.

While the owners of these syndicated propertiel have been; allow ing the improvement charges to go un paid to delinquency, thus forcing the property owners of the city, as a whole to advance the payments through gen eral taxation, the pavements and sewers which brought the bonds into: being have been falling into unrepair, largely because of imperfect workmanship and skimped materials. I Out In Laurelhurst the 'pavement is rapidly calling for extensive repairs. In the Ladd tract it has gone beyond the point where it can be repaired, in many places, while the same conditions exist in various other sections j of the city. ! The time seems near at hand, then, when property owners of these districts who have purchased and paid for their property and their improvements, will be forcejl to pay for the work all over again, either in whole or in part, even while they face the probability; or the necessity of shouldering the old! burden that the real estate speculators have shifted upon them by their delinquen cies, j Holding Company Bug-gested What makes tbe situation seem doubly dark is the fact that the county may not legally sell any of this prop erty, except It receives at least the full amount of accrued taxes. Interest, penalties and costs charged against it. Neither can the city sell,' unless It also receives full satisfaction for the lien it holds against it. As a" result it has been found Impossible to sell the property except in Isolated parcels here and there, and the taxes and de linquencies continue to pile Up and promise so to continue indefinitely. The committee appointed by the mayor will attempt to find a solution when it meets Monday. One sugges tion has been made that a holding com pany might be formed to purchase the property by tax sale, both as to gen eral tax and city lien charges. An other suggestion is that arrangements be made by which the property; owners deed the property to the city I in full satisfaction of its lien, and let the city SUITS Pressed, 3c Suits French dry cleaned or steam cleaned $1.00.

When Clevelanders are short of pen nies to make change, they use street car tickets, . for they are recognized everywhere as of 3 cent value and everyone uses them.

Judge Ross man said he would sentence him to the maximum penalty two years in jail. As the defendant, since his arrest on October i5, had been out on bail, and as during that period he had enlisted in the United States army, the judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest; but officers sent to Vancouver to apprehend the man found that his regiment had been ordered to "somewhere in America," and the prisoner was not returned. When Tuglese's case was called for trial, his counsel and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ryan agreed to proceed without the defendant being present. Hardly had the case started when Mr. Ryan discovered that the vault In the police station was locked for the night, and that the liquor held as evidence against the defendant could not be pro duced. A wrangle then ensued, but Judge Ross man finally ruled that the trial proceed, and that no refer ence be made to the locked-up evi dence. After hearing much verbal evidence, and several near personal encounters, the jury took throe hours to find the defendant guilty. Even Corn Is Patriotic Clarksburg, W.. V., Nov. 17.
