True, we have our troubles many are not making the money they would like to make, others may have physical ailments, but in a general way the spirit of thankfulness prevails all over this portion of the state. The best days one spends are the days of striving to att; lid' certain results, ana too oHcn weaiui which seems in mis. ma terialistic age to be the barometer of success takes away the days of striving and brings that detestiblo attitude of discon tent so often found among the wealthy. We have, cast of the Cascade mountains, many, many things to be grateful for and they need not be enumerated for every child in school knows them. The groat advancement, the ease of living, the abundance on every hand, all lend to make the heart grateful and thankful to a Kind Providence which some times seems to be generous to the extreme.

Kveryone but the turkey should rejoice. Ward's Jargon In tin; l.usl iuio ol' ('linpiiimi's Oregon Voter II. II. Ward, who is one of (lie foilunale Itoys (lint can spend as much time as ho likes imd whenever he liltes in SouUiern California, pulls i lot. of jargon ahotit Oiepoii peojile, her legislators, her crazy people and ends with a conipai ison of (his slate with l.os Ange les where the "Anjrel Choir" boosts and does not knock. Such sputteriiiKs as the Wards and their like spin out ale really loo silly for notice, hut nevertheless, someone should call these birds' attention to a few little things. Ward asserts that Oregon is driving; her industries away, that California has numerous Oivjron people as citizens who went to that state for a vacation and became enamored with the way they tlo (hinjrs down there and stayed. Probably Ward is tmi Oregon cannot build on foam, fuss and feathers like Southern California builds. Oregon needs substantial people who will work in order that she may have her proper place in the sun. The state has had too many Wards already, for when an ele ment seeks to capitalize sea biee.cs and merry-pi-rounds to -ret peinianent sellleis in Oregon they aie sure to be disappointed. When the lime comes that people must woik for a living as they once did. Oiegon will shine. All Hie great resources which with man's work will be turned into needful thing for humanity, are here, but (he Wards will never aid very much ; in reclaiming land, in transforming the forest into homes, in bringing mineral from the mines. II takes the other kind of men, (hose who will v.oik and be willing to carry (heir portion of the public burden. - , No peinianent good follows a si reel carnival or a citrus, ami it is doubtful if much mi inaneney will be recorded from the Wards who visit Southern California and listen to the "Angel Chorus." , Of course, the main cause for the Ward ailicle was the adop tion of the state income t:t. It was to be expected that such men would howl. l.e( them howl, let them move lo the sunny southland if they choose. It took men with courage to' settle Oregon in Hit' first place anil the slate welcomes such men today far more thru it does the flamboyant, effervescent Wards who in their own jargon condemn everyone in Oregon who seeks lo have a just and equitable system of taxation. t'OIU) & (iEORGE TAXI .Service Enclosed Cars CALL MAIN 44 Aftrr kflilulu-lit ('ill l oir Hotel MAI N 77S Ice Skates We have received a shipment of Winslow Skates.
