COMMENT FROM OREGON AND WASHINGTON EDITORS. Fall W -Dry oQcLs Boys' and Men's Clothing1, Hats and Caps, Boots, Shoes, &c. fchut np shop tomorrow, go to church eat a good dinner, and at all times of the day be thankful you are living under the most enlightened government on the globe. Americans have more causes for thankegiving than the people ot any other country, but it is doubtful if at all times the debt of gratefulness is remem bered. With the cares of business and the annoyances and perplexities that even those who are out of the whirl of trade and the strain of professional pur suits feel, the significance of Thankegiv ing is apt to be overlooked. " The day is one of all others peculiar to American life. Its inception is noticed in the early days of the New England settle ment when the hardy Pilgrims paused long enough from their labor of tilling the soil and fighting Indians to return thanks for the blessing of religious lib erty, something which they could never enioy under the bigoted government of England. From the beginning of its observance in the seventeenth century Thanksgiving has always been a popular festival in the United States. During the revolutionary war a day was set apart upon which thanks were given for the assistance of the Almighty in the conflict that raged with England. In the early part of the present century the day was not sq universally observed as now, though the people of the New England states still preserved the Thanksgiving custom of their forefathers. President Lincoln in 1863 gave a new impulse to Thanksgiving day by the issuance of a proclamation commanding the American people to show their grati tude for the success that attended the Union cause. From that day to this Thanksgiving has become a recognized institution. In outward form at least the American people render to the Creator thanks for his munificence The tendencies of the day are all for good and the people of this great com monwealth cannot be too loyal in its observance. This nation has been blessed above all other peoples. It has been led through the dark clouds of war and emerged again into sunlight ; it has been torn by internal dissension and the wounds have been healed. Through the crimes that mark all governments our re public has passed safely, and now at the close of the greatest century that the 'world has ever seen, this nation stands the incomparable. The future will be just what we make it. All the possibil ties are within our reach, and the great ness of today will be continued so long as the American people hold steadfast to the principles for which the pilgrim fathers sought the bleak New England shores, and for which Washington, Franklin, John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln struggled, both" by word and action. Along with Inde pendence day let the Thanksgiving fes tival be one never neglected by the American people. Eugene Register: Salem, with the enterprise characteristic of the town, will probably soon re-build the woolen mill. It is to be hoped, at least, they will not be so long in re-building it as Eugene was in re-building her flouring mill. The los was a heavy one to the Willamette valley, as there are few enough manufactories in Western Ore gon. ; Walla Walla Statesman : From pres ent indications the fruit-growers' con vention, which 19 to meet in this city on December 10th, will be a gratifying suc cess. A large attendance is promised from many points in Washington, Ore gon and Idaho. Our eilizens should manifest their interest in the enterprise by giving the delegates a hospitable welcome, and attending the convention in large numbers. Pnyallup Commerce : Betrospecting the vear and its results, there are sug gestions that the barns are filled to fat ness with golden grain, ana tne nope and promise of better things are potent. There are those who sorrow, because from the beginning the laughter of the joyful has' rung out amid the cry of hearts made desolate. At tnis season of the vear the once green leaves are sered, fallen upon the ground, betrodden under foot of man ; butane naked trees , through which the chilly blast of the west wind now moans, shall, with the warming days of spring,' put on new beauty and treshneBS. So the days that are to give assurance of peace to spirits that may be troubled. The night comes, but the glad sun is on its course, and its rays will spread life and light upon all For Uom-Seekr. An The annual meeting of the New York State Bankers' Association was held in New York last week, and several papers were read and discussed. Ellis H. Rob erts, ex-deputy United States treasurer, said, among other things:. "There is just now considerable discussion as to what congress will do about the finan cial question. If one could learn the earnest demands of the bankers of this state and country, it would quickly in , dicate along what lines congressional enactment should proceed. I am afraid that, the bankers are not ready ti for mulate their demands. There certainly seems to be a lack of unanimity of sen timent. ' It is regrettable that no scheme has been broached which would com mand the support .of the majority of the bankers. It is the duty of every banker to create a sentiment as to financial leg islation which will finally lift the coun try's finances from the present level." effort is being made to reclaim some of the arid lands between Celilo and Umatilla. A large tract of ' fine land has been opened op by the Bailey Ditch Company, which has about nine miles of ditch completed, and water covering about 2000 or 3000 acres. They will rent these tracts to persons who wish them, and furnish plenty of water for one half of the produce raised. The lands are on the Columbia river, a few miles above Coyote station, and the past season thecompany has cultivated about 100 acres, and has raised some of the finest garden truck that ever, grew in this section of- the country ; and for fruit-raisers the climate and soil cannot be excelled. Transportation and freight rates to all desirable points for market aro reasonable and fair. Can ship to the Sound, over the Northern, or into Montana over the Great Northern, or Spokane over the O.

Idle people in San Francisco are coming to Portland seeking employment, and Port land people are going to San Francisco to buy Christmas presents. San Fran cisco has the best of the fight, and it looks as if the whole thing may be but a scheme on that city's part to help out the holiday trade. .
