At a recent dinner given at the Pilgrim's club In honor of Alfred Harmsworth, the English uuullsher. George Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, the lickspittle of the predat ory rich, epoke or the millionaires at the banquet and those of their claHB as the men'"wno mndo America what It Is," and asserted that If 10,000 such men woro taken out of the coun try, the nation would fall to nieces. This brought forth a reply from Arthur Brisbane, the brilliant editor of the Evening Journal, who pleaded lor me eonimon people as follows: "Colonel Harvey says that If you take ten thousand men out of 111 It country the ablest ten thousand the country would fall to pieces. He might as well say that If you take ten apples off a tree, the tree will wither and fall. Not a bit of It. You men with money and power are the pretty,, shiny applet) on the tree.

"-r Kx. I, THANKMilVrNU CATRnilNM Where were Thanksglvlug service, first held? In England, during tho time ot Cromwell thanksgiving days were cummon occurrences. The discovery of tho "gunpowdei plot" In 1606 was followed by n thanksgiving In England and lhat nn tlon observed such a day on many like occasions.- the last probably be Ing a national thanksgiving when the 1'rlnce of Wales, now Edward VII., recovered from a serious Illness. Whore and when was the first Thanksgiving obsurvnnco in the New World? The nrst thanksgiving held In Am erica was not held within the bound of tho United Suiton, but on the short of Newfoundland, May 27, U.7H, at the tlmo services wore held by the Hot. Mr. Wolfall, nn English niln lufor. Ho had acconipnnled an early colony from England. It Is claimed lhat it was the firm Christian sermon prwarhed In the new world. When was the first Thanksgiving proclamation In this country? November 19, 1621, madn by Gov ernor llrartfurd to the Pilgrim Kiith era. Ho announced tlmt since thev had Jus gathered abundant harvest' of grain and the cold weather ha, I aent plenty of game to their forests December 13, 1621, would be oh served throughout the I'lvmouth col ony aa a day of IhanksKlvliiK Who signed the first TlinnksKlvliii; proclamation ever issued by a Presi dent? George Washington, In 178? Who originated the modern Thanksgiving Dny, as It Is observed In the I'llKed States? The Thanksgiving as It occurs to day, datee from 1K64. when Presi dent Lincoln Issued a proclamation for setting apart the last Thursday In November of lhat year, as a day of national thankKglvlng. Kach succeeding president has nn nually proclaimed a tlmnkmtlvlng day. which Is generally followed by similar proclamations by the govern on of the various state. Who makes the Thanksgiving proclamation? The president of the I'nlled States How Is It done? The President writes It with his own hand, trying to put In as niiu h Of the spirit of the day as possible. This Is not an easy 'task. He must avoid repeutlug expressions thut buve been used by preceding presidents, aud yet he must cover the same ground that they cover. When he has finished writing It out, ft is cop led and this copy.Js sent to the state department. - One of the clerks who is a good penman writes tho procla mation artistically on parchment. The parchment Is then sent back to the White House, and the President signs it; after that it Is taken back to the state department, where the sec retary of state adds his name; then the great sen) of tho state department Is affixed. In order to put the great seal on the proclamation a note from the president Is necessary, In which he says: "I hereby authorize and direct the secretary of state to cauHC tho seal of the United Htates to be af fixed to my Thanksgiving proclama tion, dated this day and signed by me and for so doing this shull be his war rant." ' Whnt Is done with ithe proclama tion when ft has been thus wrllton and signed? A great many clerks In the state department are then ordered to make as many copies of the proclamation as there are governors of etutes und territories. These copies are written by hand on long sheets of bluo paper. The state department never uses tho typewriter or any other means ex cept artistic handwriting for making copies of olflclul correspondence. Whnt do tho different governors of the statou do when they have receiv ed .rjliolT copies of the president's proclamation r Then they write Bpeclnl procluma tlons of thnlr own, announcing to tho people of their stnteB the fact that the president has fixed on such and such a dny for the observance of thanks giving, worship and festivities. WOOl) 8TILI, LEADS. Prim-ilia Material I'seil In Construe tlon of llullillngs. A forestry bulletin snys: Great as the advance In fire-proof construc tion hoe been during tho Inst ten rears there has been no let-up In the use of lumber, and both archi tects and bulldoi-8 find themselves io dependent on wood today that 'hoy are compelled to admit that the .'oreats of the country are likely to bo tho chlof sour co of building ma- erini ror many yenrB to come. "The use of terra cottn, brick and ttone, with a framework of steel. will mnke It iiokbIIiIs soon to do away with wood entirely," Is a remark irton heard, and. Indeed, when one IHlnnds on lower llrondwnv. New York, and looks up at tho towering iky-scrapors, the statement seems to 'ontain much truth. As a matter of 'act, however, the popular Idea thai Ire-proof materials will do away vim mo need of using lumber In n ompnrntlvely few years Ib a very ironeous one. All of the vnrious Ire-proof materials going Into the ipprovod construction of tho more uibstnntlal buildings nro usod In rrenter quantities now that tho world Irenmed of a few years ngo, yet the heavy demand for lumber continues. I nut wood predominates Is shown hy the annual building records. . Of Uiu permits used for buildings orect- xl Inst yenr, approximately (II pur lent -wero constructed of wood, and tho remaining Hit per cent of lire ro ilstlng material, according to n re port Issued by the (Icologli-al Survey in opcrnnona in rorty-nlne lending .Itliw of the country. These figures are the morn significant when It Is realized -flint they only represent the building activities in tho largest uties; tnoy do not take into account ho construction of dwellings, stores and other buildings In the thousnnds of small cities and towns scattered )ver ami not Included in the 49 cities on which tho reckoning is made. n towns and small cities wood Is isunlly tho predominating building matorlal and It Is safe to say that If the statistics hud Included figures fur all places of whatever Bir.ii, tlio percentage of wooden conetruct.lon would have been much greater. Theso figures, as a rule, aro only for the orporalo limits, and the suburbs of theso cities have each verv large amounts to bo ndded. The cost, also.

A., MOVEMENT; A Sugk'-'stlou Thut Koseburg Emu lute Example uf Eugene. To the Editor: Eugene la startling the natives by raising a larger sum than any city in the stale outside of Portland for a public institution. Ily Wednesday night the 8-day campaign will close for a Y. M. C. A. building. The lot is purchased and 132,000 was pledg ed by last Saturday night. The city has Invested over $350,000 In street pavement and Mr. Kelly, of the llooth-Kolly Lumber Co., who Is lend ing the forces for the Y. M. C. A. building, Bays r.0,,OOQ Is a small sum to raise that $60,000 will be subscribed by Wednesday night.' It Is hlB opinion that unless it can be done Eugene had bolter dissolve her corporation and go out of business, for cents Invested In such an Institu tion will bring a return of dollars to the community.. The public spirit which Is making Eugene populur and prosperous is running high. Now, 200 men are organized In this Y. M. C. A. build ing campaign and tlio citizen are res ponding liberally. Koseburg, of course, congratulates -Eugene upon such a splendid achievement. Roseburg's business men are thinking seriously about this Y. M. C. A. matter, and are watching the movement with no small Interest. The greatest need of any city Is the care of her chief asset namely, her young men. With a stroug Y. M. C. A. here, housed in its own building and governed by a board of directors of Its own business men, with a secre tary who knows how to boost and care for all the principles embodied In such an association, this great need in Koseburg would be met.- Too much emphasis cannot be put upon such a movement. An up-to-date as sociation is the buslnesB men's cen ter, the young men's club- and the community's most enterprising and progressive Institution. Such a build ing would Include club rooms, gym nasium, baths, swlming pool, dormi tories to be rented to vonnir men auditorium, night school rooms, read ing rooms and library, tennis and handball courts. Indoor and outdoor sports, employment department, boy's rooms, socials, lectures, enter tainments, tournaments. Karnes ami gatherings of many kinds. It would uu a place where the bus iiohh men could moot on all occasions or for' public gatherings. It would serve as a farmers' headquarters, the home Heekers' Information bureau, and the most logical, social and religions center of Koseburg for everybody. A CITIZEN.
