At both these services President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving message was read, and appropriate music and sermons given. In addition to the usual masses at the Catholic churches, high mass was sung yesterday morning, and In the sermons reference was made to the bounties which Nature's Creator has poured forth for the benefit of human kind. At the First Congregational union services music was rendered by the choir of the First Christinn Church.

Heppe. of the Grace Methodist Church, delivered the invocation. P.ev. J. Allen Leas, of the Kngllsh Lutheran Church, read the 104th Pf-alm. The Thanks giving sermon was preached by Dr. Luther R. Dyott. the pastor of the First Congregational Church, his sub ject being. "Gratitude for the Greater Blessings." Commend- President's Message. The pastor said that prosperity is essential to the proper development of a great country like America, but that citizens should accept the dominant note of President Roosevelt's message, that the country should come Into the fullness of her National life. Dr. Dy ott referred to the tendency toward the accumulation of w-ealth. remark ing that 125.000 families of the United States now- own J32.8SO.O0.K0, while 50 per cent of the American population possess practically nothing. "There should be a better chance for the av erage man to accumulate at least enough to make life easier for him," said the pastor. The speaker also, called attention to moral movements which have been set on foot, and the fact that all the agen cies for reform are here. Dr. Dyott referred to the expressed sentiment of representative men., remarking that President-elect Taft said the Govern ment will be glad to see any man pros per who keeps he law, but that the gigantic corporations who are taking things into their own hands must ex pect that the Federal authorities will call them to account. The pastor briefly outlined Amer ica's early history, calling attention to the Colonies' demand at first for their rights, not their independence. Be sides material prosperity, Dr. Dyott named educational opportunities, and spiritual and moral movements as among the greater blesingjs. Presbyterian Union Services. Rev. Harry Pratt. pastor of the Forbes Presbyterian Church, delivered the Thanksgiving sermon at the Pres byterian union services.

Children of the parish sang high mass. The sermon was delivered by Father Thompson. Union Service at Centenary. That conditions are constantly grow ing better and that there Is higher standard of public and private morals In this country was the sweeping declaration of Rev. W. T. Euster In his Thanksgiving address yesterday morn ing at the union services held In Cen tenary Methodist Church. The text was from Kcciesiastes vn:iu, vt nai the cause that former days were better tl.an these." but his subject was from the proclamation of President Roosevelt. Rev. Euster said that the Thanasgiving proclamation of the President r.-ad like the sayings of John Wesley, and breathed the true spirit of the Christian religion. "Tho President." said the speaker, "warns the people in no uncertain words against the piling up of great fortunes and depending on material things, f ir these were the things that brought ruin of nations. v "We have reason to be thankful that we have such a man at the head of the Nation, a man who recognizes the old- fashioned religion of Jesus Christ, -a religion that is not old. but Is new every day. We recognize that the world Is growing better every day that today is better than yesterday. and that tomorrow will be better than today. We see It In the awakening consciousness of the" country. We have a higher standard of public men. The men in public iife are far in advance morally of the men of 20 years ago. And so we are thankful for this ad vance on this occasion: thankful that we have a president who , recognizes the christinn religion. We see this advance in the reconciliation of science and religion." At this service 18 Methodist minis ters were present from all the East Side Methodist Churches. These were Rev. W. B. Hollingshead. district superintendent; Kev. w. T. Euster, Rev. 6. J. Kester, Rev. C. A. Cathley. Rev. E. H. Mowre. Kev. H. P. Nelson. Rev. Henry Moves. Dr. C. E. Cline. Rev. W. J. Douglass. Rev. F.

Boone played the pipe organ and as a prelude rendered Thanksgiving over ture by IV A very and as a post hula the Hungarian March by Berlioz. The chorus choir, under the direction of C. E. Patterson, rendered the Thanks giving anthem by De Costa. At the offertory the Centenary quartet sang There is a Green Hill Far Away." by Otlchrist.

FOREMAN JUMPS, IS HURT Both Hor?es Killed and Owner Flees, Fearing Lynching Sniasli t'p Occurs on O. 11. : Near Bonneville. Two hor5es were run over and killed by an O. H. & X. work-train yesterday, which was ditrhed. and the crew had a narrow escape from death. J. H. Mills, foreman of a surfacing gang;, jumped from the train and was hurt. He was taken to The Dalles for treatment. The accident occurred about noon yesterday. The scene of the wreck was a high bridge one mile west of Bonneville. A man was coming1 toward Portland with two horses, one of which had a pack of 300 pounds on Its back. The driver became lost and was trying to find his way to a wagon road, when he came down on the railroad track and attempted to lead his two horses across the steel bridge that spans a deep gulch on the O. R. & X. main line. After he had started across, the work train suddenly rounded a curve and bore down upon the two horses and their owner. He tried to get the ani mals off the bridge, but only succeeded in saving his own life. The train was backing, and before it could be stopped the caboose struck the two horses, killing them, and was derailed. It ran for 40 feet on the ties and was then overturned in the ditch beside the track, having crossed the bridge in safety on the ties. The work train was in charge of Conductor Reames. Con Farrell, superintendent of the construction gang, staid on the train, and Mills jumped. Farrell escaped with out Injury The extent of Mills' hurts could not be learned last night. The track lies alongside the bluff at that point and the bridge was frosty. The man who caused the wreck by foolishly leading his horses onto the bridge was taken severely to task by Conductor Reames of the work-train. "In some countries they would lynch you for doing a thing like that, and I believe we will do the same thing to you." he declared. The owner of the horses waited to hear no more. Taking to his heels, he ran up in the nearby hills and was not seen again by the trainmen. The track was soon cleared of the wreckage and the caboose put back on the track.

The First and Alder streets headquar ters building has been in use since the consolidation of the various electrical power and traction interests of the city almost three years ago, into the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The quarters soon proved too small for hous ing the various departments of the com pany and within a. short time outside of fices for some of the officials were es tablished across the street and others In the building owned by the company, at First and Pine streets. With the continued expansion of the company, however, more room is urgently required and the only solution seems to be the leasing of a large building where all the offices can bo grouped. It was rumored yesterday that the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company was about to purchase the Commercial building. This was denied, however, by President Josselyn. of the electrical corporation. "We have been parrying on negotiations pni How Can You Expect to Digest Hog Fat?
