Balfour Sees Greatest
Step in All History

n UEBEC, Nov. s.-Beiief that
~ the Washington arms confer
~ ence could do much to pro-
duce a better world was expressed
by Arthur J. Balfour when he ar
rived here to-day as acting head Of
the British delegation. He said:
II don't believe this disarmament
conference at Washington can do
everything. am personally con.
fident it can do much. I am con-
fident of the steps that are being
gradually made to produce a better
and improved world-an interna-
tional world--this step will be OF all
history the greatest. In that hope
I go to Washington"
The British delegation left at
once for Montreal and will proceed
to washington tomorrow by way
Of Albany and Weehawken. N. ].

ORIENTALRUG

For many years we have specialized in
these highly desirable floor coverings. Our
own experts have carefully and laboriously
selected each rug, or supervised its manu-
facture upon our looms in the East. No
haphazard methods are permitted to lower
the standard of our goods; each rug must
have those qualities which for centuries
have made the Eastern rug pre-eminent
as floor covering of attractiveness and
durability.
The use of the proper wool, the best
dyes, properly handled, designs represent
ing the highest and best type of Eastern
art, combined with careful and honest
workmanship are all essential.
For those unfamiliar with Eastern Rugs,
we would emphasize the fact that there
is no standard of quality in any weaving
district. Names alone convey no idea as
to the value of a rug. Kirmanshah, for
instance, produces not alone rugs Of great
merit, but also those of relatively little
worth. The same is true of all districts.
Included in this collection are rugs of all
classes. Moderately priced rugs suited to
everyday needs-Antique examples for the
(. finest furnishings-and Collectors pieces
worthy of Museum.
All our rugs carry our guarantee.

SAINT FIRES HOT SHOT
WHEN TAX OFFICIALS MEET

Loose and inefficient methods Of
assessment work result in the failure
to put $75,OOO000 to Sl00000,OO0 worth
OF tangible property on the taxrolls
every year, J. F. Saint, chief OF the
state tax commission, told the con-
ference of tax officials here Wed
resday afternoon. The conference
began on Wednesday afternoon,
holding its sessions in the supreme
court room, with large attendance
made up of county commissioners,
c,nnty assessors, village, town and
city officers.
Commissioner Saint was the prin-
cipal speaker at the afternoon ses-
sion. He has been convinced for some
months that the assessors ought TO
be appointed, rather than elected I;
and that they ought to be appointed
on account of fitness for the work,
instead of being put on the ticket
because they can get votes. AT
Thursdays session Governor Merritt
c. Mechem, James N. Gladding. city
manager of Albuquerque; Mark B.
Thompson, Of Las Cruces, and Geo.
S Downer, of Albuquerque, the San-
ia Fe railways tax expert, were
among the principal speakers.

Books and bound magazines to the
value of about $4,000 are stored in
the Albuquerque public library, ac-
cording 20 a repor, made TO the city
manager by Mrs. \, +. Dixon, librar-
ian The work Of estimating the
amount of money invested i'll the
library has been in progress for some
weeks, and the report will be in
cluded in the annu;l report of the Ii
brarian which will be completed in
a few days.
This is the first time that money
value had been put on the property
OF the library.
There are between eight and nine
thousand books in the library. The
price set on each of the books was
the wholesale price which Librarians
receive on purchases The books
winch had been gifts TO the library
were counted at II same price in
order to obtain a definite idea Of
how much the library is worth. The
inventory included all books, and the
bound volumes OF magazines and
news Spapers.
Several losses of books have oc-
CURED during the past year on ac-
cornt OF contagious diseases. No
books which have been loaned to
persons among whom a serious di-
scase breaks out, will be received by
the library. As tn e are no faci-
lities for fumigating the books, there
are numerous losses on this account
each year.

ceyed gift of high-grade southern
oak flooring, valued a 81 800, for the
combination lodge ard bali room
the first floor oi their building which
is being rebuilt and remodeled fol-
lowing the damage by fire several
months ago. This valuable gift comes
from Colonel George +. Breeze and
the lumber comes from his large mills
in louisiana.
Fifteen rooms on the second third
and fourth floors cn the east side
OF the building, waioh were little
damaged by fire, ha E been repaired
and refurnished and are being oc-
cupied by Elk members.
What is believed TO have been
an attempt to set fire to the build
