The Thanksgiving day programme is much the same this year as it has been in previous years. There will be those, who will upend the day quietly and in religious mood, while others will take ad vantage of the holiday spirit and have tlie very best time possible. The attrac tions offered, are varied and everyone can be suited. Turkey dinner, as usual, will be the day's great feature. Churches wiil hold services at 10:30 in the morning. Several of the Catholic Churches will celebrate mass even earlier tlian this, notice of which is given else where. I'nion services will be held in several Instances, and a few in the even ing. Special music has been prepared fop all, and at each church the offering will be devoted to some worthy charity. All the homes and benevolent Institu tions in Portland will serve a special turkey Thanksgiving dinner, most of them' at 1 o'clock. The hospitals will give the patients a treat, and the Fruit and Flower Mission girls will not forget their charges, but will be on hand with music, fruit ami flowers to cheer the sick and friendless. The children at the Hoys' and Girls' Aid Society, the Children's Homo, the Baby Ilonu and the Catholic Orphanages will be well taken care of, practically nil of them having not only planned a turkey dinner, but will share in the carload of apples so generously donated by the Hood River orchardists. The Volunteers of America and the Salvation Army will, as usual, see that the poor and destitute of the city liavo their Thanksgiving cheer and have pro vided liberally for them. , Much in Line of Amusement. In the amusement line there is much 1o attract. The Hunt Club will have its big cross-country paper chase, the start 1o be m:ule on West avenue, Mount Tabor, at 10:."0 o'clock this morning. It is expected that a large gallery will be present to see the riders off. The big footba.ll event of the year between Multnomah and Oregon Vnlversity will attract several thousand people in the afternoon and the theaters will all be crowded to the doors, for ' '.Thanksgiving day is the greatest theater day of the whole year. . There will be another great crowd of amusement hunters who will flock to the skating rinks, morning, afternoon and evening, for roller skating has become vastly popular in Portland and its devo tees will not leave it for another sport. Whisked carnivals are scheduled for the evening and will be attended by large crowds. At the Young Men's Christian Associa tion there will be open-house all day long, "with all sorts of amusing entertainments for callers, including a splendid concert in the evening. Kveryone is to be made, welcome and visitors are requested to leave their pocketbooks at home. The goll'players will gather at the Waverly links in the morning and play all day, many expecting to have lunch at the club house and not to return to the city until dinner time, while others will come in for the afternoon football game. 31 11 liy Go to the Seaside. Kxeurs!on,q to the various seaside, re torts have taken many out of town who like the shore at this season of the year, and not a few hunters have shouldered their guns and gone to their preserves to express their thankfulness for good game. There will be a concert at the Seaman's institute at 7 o'clock tonight and any number of private socials, dances and re ceptions have been arranged in various social circles. So, take it all around, it promises to be a happy and successful Thanksgiving day in Portland. Y. C. T. U. Thanksgiving Service. Central W. C. T. V. held a Thanks giving service at the rooms Wednesday aftornoon. Mrs. Ada t'nruh presided. Everyone present gave an offering, either rendering an appropriate selection or in suitable language giving reasons for thanksgiving. Mrs. E. Dalglclsh reported e meeting at the Seamen's Institute Fri day evening under the auspices of Cen tral Union, addressed by Mrs. I'nruh, with a musical programme, a very suc cessful one, with a large number of sail ors present. The evangelical superintend ent reported n family helped with food and clothing. Mrs. Xash read an extract from Anna Shaw's address at the Na tional convention, in which she highly commeiuled the W. C. T. I, women of Oregon for their work during the recent suffrage campaign. Mrs. May Klackwell. who for many years has been an efficient member, gave a farewell talk, as she is t.boiit to remove to another state. Mrs. M. M. Sleet h spoke of her recent journey for the work throughout the state. Next Wednesday It was announced the monthly social meeting will be held. Postori'ice Closes at 10 o'clock.' Today being Thanksgiving, the Post office will be open until 10 o'clock, the regular holiday hour of closing. Post master Miuto announced yesterday that there will be two mail deliveries and he os;eeially requests that the public ap pear at the delivery windows before 10 o'clock, and not after, for the delivery windows will close promptly at the hour mentioned. Kailroad Offices Closed. People who expect to take long trips tobiy and have not already bought their tickets will have to secure them at the Vplon Depot, as every railroad office on tht row will be closed all day. This is th? first time the offices have been so poierally closed for a long time.j By agreement of all the officials, it was de cked that the railroaders have earned TO- LLi OVER this good land of ours the lamps were trimmed and burn- ing in a million kitchens last night, where diligent housewives prepared the feast that from time Immemorial has been spread by Americans in commemo ration of the goodness of the Lord. I maintain that the day is best celebrated in the country, where the staid elders in somber black arrayed file to the meeting-house in the morning for praise service as a preparation for the big din ner of the afternoon. Upon the boys and young men the significance of the day rests less heavily, so they celebrate in their own way, that way usually tak ing the form of a turkey raffle at "the corners." Meanwhile "mother" is per forming miracles over the big cook-stove. Pies of mince and pumpkin, cranberry sauce, turkey and "fixin's." The basting of the turkey! What an art it is! The most important ceremony of the day, and one which may not be entrusted to the unskilled. Thrice blessed at Thanksgiv ing time is the homely queen ot the kitchen. No high-salaried chef of France ever wrought half so well as the country housewife when the turkey's in the oven. Somehow the day seems less significant i mm w t 'i'TrTr'nU'i ' .'U 1 'JZtS .

Menus. in town; perhaps so many of us .have only n hotel or boarding-house dinner to look forward to, perhaps a matinee or at best a football game. I believe the big churches still have thanks services, but of this I am not sure. Even here in Portland, however, where anticipation is less keen than It is up the Willamette Valley, the day before Thanksgiving is full of interest to that one who observes his fellows with sympathy for their pleasures. ' The crowds on the streets yesterday were unusually large by reason of marketing duties which"led thousands of !eople down town in quest of delicacies for the day. The butcher shops were a common .meeting place and by night the markets were denuded of their stocks as if a hungry army had foraged upon them. More turkeys, were sold here yesterday then on any other day in the city's his tory and there will be few among u.s who -will miss "white meat and sass" today. This means that our people have money. a rest on Thanksgiving day, and hey decided to spend all day at home. For merly it has been the custom on Thanks giving for the offices to remain open in the morning only. Mayor and Postmaster Thankful. Mayor Iine and Postmaster Minto were caught by an Oregonian reporter early in the evening while they were out for a stroll, and told what they were thankful for. "I am thankful that I am alive and allowed to live in a civilized community," said the Mayor solemnly. ( "And I." said the Postmaster, with equal sincerity, "am thankful for a big turkey dinner that I'm pretty sure of now, and a breathing space before the Christ mas mails begin."

Portland newspaper men gave a din ner at midnight last night at the Hotel Oregon which proved a huge success The affair was largely attended and the arrangements were complete and unique. A number of impromptu speeches were given by newspaper men. Good fellowship among the newspa per fraternity of the city was a marked feature of the dinner. It is probable that it will lead to reorganization of the Cit Press Club, which disbanded some time ago. Those present were: George M. Trow bridge. O. C. Leiter. C. N. McArthur, Will G. MacKae, AV.

The Chicago and Evanston Historical Societies held a joint meeting last night for the purpose of discussing and celebrating the discov ery that was made by Frank R. Grover, vice-president of the Evanston Society. Father Perre Francois Pinet, a French priest, is credited with founding the city in 16t, W4 years before the supposed birth of the city in 1803.

Real Thanksgiving for Federal Prisoners They 'Will Feed on Turkey, 'While County Ofl'endem Must lie Con tent W llh hivkrn. TURKEY for the Federal prisoners and chicken for those who are held under the county's jurisdiction will bo the distinguishing feature of the Thanksgiving dinner served iu the Multnomah County Jail today. This distinction in the bill of fare' is due to the fact that those who are doing penance on Thanksgiving Day for fail ing to observe the county's dignity are provided with food from an outside contractor, while Uncle Sam's enforced guests are cared for by Sheriff Stevens. The county men are promised chicken, while the menu card prepared by the Sheriff is enough to make the average free man's mouth water.

I asked him which one iie'd rather have. "I'd rather have 'em all. he answered and in a hopeless tone added, "but I can't have any of 'em." - . I saw a shabby old 7ady, who inspected at legist 50 dressed turkeys in a certain market but could find none light enough to meet the limitations of her light curse, so pher sadly compromised on a clncken. "What makes you always put up the price of turkeys so high just at Thanks giving?" she asked the butcher, queru lously. "Poor folks aint got the means to buy 'em." , A stylishly dressed young woman who was evidently buying for her first Thanks giving as a matron, after sizing up the prospect of plump dressed birds, said to the man who was serving her: "There are only two of us, you know, and wre'd never eat a whole one in the world. You don't cut them, 1 presume?" Aa an instance of how rapidly Lo, the poor Celestial, is yielding to the influence of environment. I saw a number of Chi namen who were buying them for their own family dinners. The spectacle of the Orientals celebrating a New Kngland festival Is assuredly unique enough. By way of novelty in the meat line one of the markets offered a number, of possums, and the sight of them made feMli tr?K ! The Market Men Had All the Hard J Work. t every Southerner homesick. The colored population here is too small to make the toothsome possum of commerce an im portant factor in the trading. One market alone sold 50.000 pounds of turkeys in the three days ending at 6 o'clock last evening at the average price of 25 cents per pound. This represented an outlay of $1J,500 for turkey meat which went to one firm of dealers. Averaging them at 10 pounds per bird, this one shop sold 5000 turkeys at an average price of $2.50. When one stops to consider the large number of places where they are sold, the total number of birds and the sum expended for them reach astounding totals. This, In face of the fact that the price is higher than ever known in Port land before, is very signiScant of the prosperity of our people. But, us I have heretofore said, not all those who give thanks today will enjoy the luxuries unless some of those by whom the year has dealt bountifully do the good and profitable act of unselfish ness and send baskets to feed the little boys who watched the turks from the wrong side of the display window. Hall, on the Mount Scott Railway, next Monday evening to formulate a petition for the erection of a modern school house to take the place of the makeshifts jwid temporary structures in which the main portion of the children are housed. There are several other rooms scattered about some distance away from the main cluster occupied by children, but the desire is to have one central modern schoolhouse. Over 400 pupils are in the temporary structures. It Is esti mated that not less than a 14-room building would accommodate the present school population. It is expected that the next census will show over 700 pu pils of school age in that portion of the district who would be naturally tributary to the new schoolhouse. As this district was annexed to Portland at the last election the city district will be called upon to put up the building. At . this mass meeting delegates will be present from ilontavilla. and Center Ad dition'. LEAVES TITLE AND ESTATE Knglish Nobleman Gives l'p All to Become American. SHERIDAN, Wyo.. ov. 28. The Hon.
