WHAT I'ORTIAND MAY SEE OF THE BELT LINK PROJECT IF REALIZED.
The accompanying diagram shows what is Intended by the McCusker railway franohlee. for whloh applloallen has been
mads to the Council, and also what Is oentemplntod by the advoeates of the Bait Line road.
BxtondlriR along what is practleally the entire water-front from the grounds ef the Northern Pacific Terminal Company
to the southern harbor district a narrow way has been loft for added fire protection and general convenience between the
wharf line and the warehouses. It Is suggested by these back of the Beit Line project that a. Uric be constructed la thU
alleyway, over which could be run the ' cars ef all companies, to serve alike all the docks located along: the road. The alley
is in places as wide as SO feet.
This plan. It Is argued, would groatly enhance the value of the decks, as it would give them direct access to the trans
continental frolcht destined to be loadedod and shipped. It would also keep Front street dear of cars and trains.
The McCusker project contemplates the occupation of Front street and extends from the southern harbor district north
to a conjunction with the Northern Pacific Terminal Company's tracks at Olltan street. It also offers a connection with the
Southern Pacific tracks of the West Side division.

' Fire Captain Acquitted.
Captain H. it. Burt, of Hose Company
No. 3, last night was acquitted of
chargos of uslmr vulgar and indecent
langunge preferred by Harry R. How
ard. The Fire Commissioners were not
long- In arriving; at the conclusion, after
all the evidence had been submitted,
that the accusations were the out
growth of a petty neighborhood quar
rel, ard were of the opinion that, while
tne tostlmony roveoled a lack of die
clpllne In the hose company to a cer
tain extent, there -was nothing- to
justify any extreme measures.
It was shown that Captain Burt had
been connected with the Fire-Department
for more than 17 years, and had
been-captain of the same hose company
for the past 13 years, without ever hav
"ing been reprimanded. Under the cir
cumstances the commissioners did not

EED WILL ARGUED
Domicile Is the Question at
Issue.
ALL HINGES UPON THAT
to tho seashore In the Winter and seldom
visited Portland. Counsel also read from
the statutes of Oregon arid contended that
under tholr provisions Mr. and Mrs. Reed
ceased to be residents of Oregon and be
came domiciled at Pamdena. He will
finish his address this morning.
If Mrs. Heed Made Pasadena Her
Home, Eb'tatc Must Be Admin
istered According to the
Laws of California.
Arguments in the contost of the will of
Amanda W. Reed were begun yoslor
cay before Judges Frazer, Cloland and
George. The opening address was made
by Joseph Simon in support of the will.
He was followed by James A. Gibson of
Los Angeles for the contestants. William
M. Gregory, also for the contestants, will
peak after Mr. Gibson has concluded
3iis argument and Martin L. Pipes will
close in behalf of the will, the executor,
Martin "Winch, and the trustees of the
Reed Institutes. Rev. Thomas L. Eliot
and Cyrus A. Dolph.
The question involved is whether Mrs.
Reed was domiciled in Pasadena, Cal., at
the time of her death or if she only main,
tained a temporary residence there, and
mver gave up tho Idea that Portland
was her home.
Mr. Simon said a person might havo
a number of residences and only one
domicile. He knew of a mun who had
residences In Montana, Now York, Cali
fornia and Paris. In a strict legal souse
the domicile was the fixed place of resi
dence. It was not only necessary to
change the residence but there must be
the abandonment of the domicile, and
a disposition to acquire a new domicile
In another place. There- was no question
but what the Reeds acquired a domicile
In Oregon. They may aftorwards have
acquired a residence in California, or
may have gone abroad and never re
turned to Oregon and still they would not
have abandoned their domicile In Oregon.
"The contestants were deeply Inter
ested and at the hearing there was con
flicting testimony. The court should view
It with suspicion and doubt. Mrs.- Reed
not only made one will, but she made
three wills." continued Mr. Simon, "In
each of which she declared hersolf a resi
dent of Oregon. She appointed an Ore
gon executor and declares she desires her
property distributed according to tho laws
of Oregon, that Is inferentially. Sho be
queaths her property to charitable Insti
tutions of Oregon and not of California
or somo other state."
Mr. Simon covered tho law and evldonce
very fully, and when he had closed Mr.
Jlbson took up the other side of the
cas? and endeavored to convince the
court that the evldonce showed that Mr.
and Mrs. Reed did ' permanently remove
from Oregon and established a domicile
at Pasadena, spoke of It to their friends

Slatirrhlcr-llousc Cases.
The Macadam road slaughter-house case
will be appealed to the Supreme Court for
a final decision. Milton W. Smith and S.
B. Llnthlcum took steps to that end In
the State Circuit Court yesterday. In the
cases of J. H. Cook, James W. Neal and
Thomas W. Bigger, where Judge Cloland
sustained the law and adjudged them
guilty of unlawfully conducting a slaughter-house
within the city limits, they were
fined $100 each.
The cases where the same persons were
charged with maintaining a nuisance by
causing noxious, offensive odors to ema
nate from the abattoir, they pleaded guil
ty and were fined $50 each. These fines
will have to be paid, but tho former will
be suspended until the Supreme Court de
cides If the ordinance Is constitutional.

HOW THANKSGIVING BECAME
A NATIONAL HOLIDAY
A CORRESPONDENT asks what de
termines the date of Thanksgiving
day whether it Is merely custom
or if there is some significance attached
to the fa ct that the last Thursday In No
vember is always set aside as the day
for National thanksgiving for the bless
ings of the year.
A day of Thanksgiving has -been ob
served over since tho Pilgrim Fathers
celebrated their first harvest festival at
Plymouth Rock in 1621, but It was not
until Lincoln named the last Thursday Jn
November, 1SC3, as a .day of National
thanksgiving that tho feast day became
an established National evcnL It Is true
that George Washington appointed such
a day in 17S9. aftcr-the adoption of the
Constitution, and again in 1703 for the
general benefit and welfare of tfie nation.
President Madison doing the same In 1S15.
but until Lincoln named the day as a
National holiday in 1S63, It was not re
garded as such. Before 'that date the
day had been proclaimed by Governors
of colonics and later of states, but now
the President issues the proclamation
first, after which the Governors of states
follow suit.
The making of thls great day a Na
tional holiday. Is . directly duo to tho
women of America, although they havo
received but little, if any, credit tor It
Sarah J. Hale, who at one time edited
Godey's Lady Book, started the agitation
in favor of this movement, the matter
being taken up by othor prominent Phila
delphia and New England women, and
j President Lincoln was finally convinced
; by them in 1863 that there was enough to
j be thankful for to give the day National
; importance. Other presidents have 6lnce
followed In his stops until Thanksgiving
Da' is of as much importance to the
American people as Christmas.
Although the Pilgrim Fathers began tho
j observance of such a day as early as
ilCZlt tha Epircop&l Gtuurcb 4 uai X-
mally recognize the authority of tho
Civil Government to appoint such a feast
until the year 1769. and It was not until
the recent date of 1SSS that the Roman
Catholic Church began to honor the fes
tival ho long and so universally observed.
In Colonial days governors used to rccom
mend annual days of thanksgiving for
the blessings and mcrclea of the year,
and a fast day for tho Spring season.
uuring me revolution, congress per
formed this duty, and in 17S1 a day of
thanksgiving for the 'return . of peace was
observed by all tho Colonies. That it Is
one of the most beautiful customs ob
served "by the American people is not
questioned, and that it wlllnlast as long
as the spirit of uncle Sam Is abroad In
the land Is the verdict of his many loyal
citizens.
In connection with the establishment of
the thanksgiving custom there Is an In
teresting and true story, -of how the
turkey became the thanksgiving bird and
the pumpkin pie the thanksgiving dessert.
On feast days and other holidays in Eng
land It had always been customary to
navo roast quck and large roasts of rout
ton and -beef, with tarts or pies made of
fruiL When the first celebration of the
harvest festival was decided unon by
the Pilgrims the houFewlvcs were in dis
tress at tho lack of mutton and beef and
knew not what to do to supply them.
But It seems that Yankee ingenuity be
gan to assert Itself even at that early
date, for they took the best at hand and
supplied the duck course with the abund
ant wild turkey of the colonies and the
roasts with delicious venison. But fruit
there was none, so the wjld pumpkin
cooked and hlgniy spiced, was supplied
for fruit In making the English, tarts.
This ingenuity of the Pilgrim mothers
was rather hard on the turkeys, and has
been ever since, but who would exchange
the toothsome dinner of this delicious
fowl and the "highly spiced" pumnkln
pies for an English dinner of rare roasts
ana fruit tarn? Not tho Americas;
THE BELASCO'S BIG HIT.
"The Fatal Card" Proves Greatest
Success or the Season.
When the Belai-co Stock Company pre
sented for the nrt time here the thrilllpc
drama, of human interest. "The Fatal Card."
at the Sunday matinee there was not & va
cant seat in the bis theater. It was tho same
at night and the story of last nlghfa re
ception of the great play splendidly acted
and beautifully produced, was a repetition
of the wonderful Interest of the opening
date. It seems that all the theatrical pa
trons of the city have become patrons of
the big up-town theater and ardent ad
mirers of the peerless stock company. The
story of "The Fatal Card" is one of thrill
ing interest, opening as It does In a. Colo
rado mining camp and shifting to England,
whero Its denouement Is reached In the
highest of society with the most realistic
explosion ever seen on a Pqrtland stage as
the climax of the last. Stage craft has
never produced a more realistic effect than
that -wonderful cxploilon. Remember that
Will R. Walling. Portland' favorite leading
man. is again at the head of the company.
