CONCRETE PIPING A SUCCESS

first thought that concreate could be
used for low head pressures only, but
better methods of construction have
convinced the engineers that its use
is not limited in this regard. In this
country, concrete piping is now used
to Withstand 1O0-foot head pressures
and in Europe, lines have been built
which endure pressure heads Of sew

The continued growth in the pa
tronage. influence and usefulness of
the Carnegie library, here was clear
ly shown in the annual report of the
librarian, Miss Kate Remington, to
the library board at their netting
Monday night.
From this report IL Is shown that
the total lendings Of books during
the year surpasses any previous rec
ord to date, being 1891, or an aver
age of more than 1926 per month and
more than 80 daily, The report fur

Mr. Emerson pointed out that dur
ing the school year many reference
and special books are used by the
students Of the Senior aud Junior
high schools.
ovcrduea Collected, 1898.
Other items OF interest in he re-
port Of the librarian, Mr.. Emerson
pointed out are; Overdues collect
ed, $1S7,33 this Is derived from a
small fee charged those who fail to
return books to the library within
the specified timo.
Collection for lost and damaged
books, $3.50; from sale Of papers,
etc, $3.50.
Expenditures noted we're. For
new books, $375.Sl, for rebinding
books, $l01 IS; for magazine sub
scriptions. $1S9,7O; for repairs on
building, $553.2O.
Tho amount expended for new
books was far below the estimate
of the book committee but with the
limited appropriation provided, this
was all that could be expended, Mr..
Emerson said.
Repairs on the building were con-
fined mostly to the roof and win
dows which. it was said. were very
much in need of repairs.
improvements Needed,
Touching upon our future needs,
it may be noted that the interior OF
the building needs going over and
the walls and ceiling repainted ard
the furniture repaired and yarnish-
cd, Mr.. Emerson said.
New tables are also needed for
the reading rooms. Rugs are among
the items needed The cornice-
window frames and doors also should
be painted and other minor repairs
made
1T is the earnest expectation, OF
the board that tho budget covering
these and the operating expenses OF
the library for tho next fiscal year
will receive the approval of the coun-
ell and the excise board to the end
that we may continue and increase
the usefulness of tho institution,

San Francisco, June 30.-The con
vention was scheduled to be called
to order this morning at IL o'clock
San Francisco time.
Any report that the resolutions
committee had to make was the first
to come before the convention. If
no report was ready, the nominating
speeches were to start at once. il
was expected that about soven hours
would be required to finish these
speeches, allowing no time for the us
nal demonstrations.
Race is Tightening.
The race has apparently tightened
to Palmer. Cox and McAdoo and
with many of the minor candidates
eliminated. Tho supporters of the
three leading candidates were in
creasingly optimistic while the Ge
rard Davis and Marshall organiza-
tions see chance for a deadlock
and compromise candidate.
The Mississippi delegation has de-
cided over night to support Cox
throughout with its 20 votes.
The McAdoo men claim 900 or $50
votes on the first ballot. Palmer
claims 300 to $50 and his first place
on the initial ballot Ia not disputed.
Cox claims the second choice dele
gates. Both Palmer and Cox are
meeting the McAdoo boom with Wig
oroua opposition. There are rumora
that an alliance has been reached be-
tween the two.
The Iowa delegation, it Is report
ed, will support Palmer after Mere
diths chances are eliminated. The
latest dark horse that has developed
is Senator Oscar Underwood.
There is considerable interest man
ifested over Hearts broadside in his
