Thanksgiving day was bright, frosty
and crisp, and though it was none too
comfortable on the streets, it wa9 i
day of general thanksgiving in Tin
Dalles. Most of the bubioess houses
were closed, and the city was given
over to the observance of the holiday
Thanksgiving services were con
ducted at St. Paul's Kpiscopal church
by Rev. J. N. T. Gosa, rector, and
union services at the Congregational
church bv Rev. JL, Gray, assisted Revs,
SkagJv, Wood anil Curtis.
In his addw s Mr. Gr-iy dwelt upon
the benefits of the free suhool systems
of this country and the absolute eepar
ation of church and state, comparing
the systems here with those that exist
in some of the European nations,
where church and state are inseper-
abl?. The compa-ison ho drew wa
inrlpfi.1 favorable to America, and he
held the advantagesticc'uing from this
system hero, as one of the things for
which we should bo thankful.
Dr. Goss' sermon waj devoted princl
pally to the history of thanksgiving.
He showed that it was by no means of
modern -oris-in. having been insti
tuted thpusands of years ago. it having
been a custom with the ancient Egypt
ians to set apart certain days as gen
eral thanksgiving, and this custom was
also practiced by the English for many
years before it was established by the
Pilgram fathers in America.
After the religious services at the
churches had been concluded, the
citizens of The Dalles generally re
paired to their homes where they en
joyed the good cheer produced by an
abundance of fat turkey and other in
viting eatables.
The amusement during the after
noon was the skating rink where many
wbiled away the hours gliding over a
smooth floor on rollers, and in the
evening a large number of Dallesites
congregated at the Vogt to enjoy the
entertainment and ball given by the
Red Men. Prof. Read's exposition of
spiritualism was indeed grand, and
the Red Men as well as their guests.
were pleased that his services had
been secured. The ball which fol
lowed was all that the' most devoted
deciple of Terpiscore could wish. Tbe
management ' wa-? perfect, and the
music was of that high order always
furnished by Prof. Birgfeld's orchestra.

A Prospect of Economy.
The Oregonian seems to believe the
next session of the legislature will be
less extravagant than the last, and
that the members of the two houses
will try to get along with 40 clerks in
stead of 150, which we sincerely hope
will be the case. Regarding tbe pos
sible economy of the body, the Ore
gonian says:
There is one thing that appears
evident. This is, the clerical force of
the next legislature will not be based
on the number employed in the past.
The incoming session will be under
control of ..he republicans, and
economy in public affairs promises to
be their watchword. There will not
be so many soft snaps, for either men
or women, and many clerkships main-

WHEBK MAS IT GONE?
California Hu Produced Twice as Mncb
Gold aa We llnve Today.
Chai lea G. Yale, statistician of the
California state mining bureau, has
.compiled a statistical review of the
gold production of California from 1848
to 1895, inclusive. Mr. Yale gives not
only his own estimate of tbe produc
tion, but that of nine recognized au
thorities, affording a valuable com
parison of data. Mr. Yale has adopted
as the basis of his own statistics
clerks, there may be not more than 40,
and these positions will be given
mostly to men who are fully competent
to perform the duties expected of them.
Senators or representatives will hardly
dare to put their wives or daughters
on the state payroll as legislative
clerks, when it may be shown that all
such alleged servicers entirely un
necessary." -
The Outlook for Wheat.
The shortage in the 1896 wheat crop
of . India and Australia has caused an
the ! unuuardemand for American wheat,
statistics compiled by Louis A. Garnett ; and it is evident that all of this year's
and the United States mint director's crop will be consumed before the next
report as being the most correct and crop U ready for market, consequently
complete of any extended continuous
statement.
In a note to his table he states that
"a table made up of the separate es
timates of Blake, in the tenth ' census,
page 780, of United States commis
sioner's report of 1873,. and of John J.
Valentine, of Wells Fargo & Co., added
together, makes a total to January 1,
1896, 81,266,091,886, while that com
piled by Yale from estimates of Gar
nett and the United States mint re-
i ports to January 1, 1896, makes a total
of $1,265,217,217. There is, therefore,
only- difference in the two sets of
estimates Of $874,609, which is remark
ably close."
A reoent report of the director of the
mint places tbe amouot of gold coin in
tbe United States at only a little over
$600,000,000, hence California alone
has produced twice as much of the yel
low metal as we have in stock; besides
other states have combined produced
in the neighborhood of $600,000,000
since 1848, making a grand total of
over $1,800,000,000 that has been mined
in the United States. Now, where has
it gone? ' With only a few exceptions
our trade with foreign countries has
shown a balance in . our favor every
year since '48, and we have borrowed
billions of dollars from Europe, still
our gold has gradually slipped away.
These facts furnish matter for statisti
cians to study over, and determine it
they can, what has become of our gold.
What River Trannportatlon Saves.
: There is considerable speculation as
to what benefits will be derived to
this section through the opening of
tbe locks at Cascades an l the free
navigation of the . Columbia river.
Taking wheat, on. which the greatest
saving to "the country is made, and
comparing the rates that were charged
prior to the putting on of the D. P. &
A. N.line and tbe rates that will pre
vail next season, and the saving will be
0 cents on each bushel shipped. Be
fore the statt portage was built, the
rates on wheat from The Dalles to
Portland were 12i cents per bushel.
Next year's crop will be handled for 3
cents. The present rate to Portland is
6 cents, so the immediate saving next
season, from tbe opening of tbe locks,
will be 3 cents a bushel on all tbe
wheat shipped from this point. The
saving on all other classes of freight
will be proportionately great, hence
every product of the country must
command a proportionally higher
price, while the merchandise Imported
will be given to the farmers and con
sumers at a reduction equal to the re
duction in freight rates.
prices should be high again next year.
Commenting on tbe wheat outlook,
The Mark Lane Express of the 23d
says:
We expect that the decrease of the
French wheat acreage in 1897, owing
to the lateness of tbe seeding season,
will be much larger than the increase
in this country. The sowings of Azima
wheat in Russia are admitted to be
s nailer than usual. The rise in prices
has stimulated the Russian markets
and the line of spring Gblrka sowings
is likely to offset the Azima deficiency.
We must await further news from
India before concluding that the
drought is over. An injury has been
in any event done and there cannot be
any wheat available for export prior
to April, 1898. Australia is importing
California wheat and has no surplus
available for shipment to Europe."
The 6k oil of a Mastodon.
Sunday afternoon, says the Salem
Journal, E. H. Huffman observed in a
6ballow pool of water beneath the
South Commercial Street bridge, the
skull of some large animal. With the
assistance of two bystanders Mr. Huff
man carried the skull from the creek
to his livery stable near by. It strongly
resembles the skull of a mastodon
Although the exterior parts are badly
rotted away, enough remains to justify
the conclusion that it is certainly the
skull of that animal. Its upper surface
measures 3x2 feet and the skull weighs
about 150 pounds. As to Its discovery
there remains but one conclusion that
the recent high water unearthed it as
it is highly improbable that the force
of the current was sufficient to trans
port it from some point up the valley
Mr. Huffman will no doubt realize a
handsome little sum for his find by
disposing of it to some meuseum or
collector of relics. While these skulls
havb been frequently found in tbe W il
lamette Valley one seldom compares
with the one found in Salem yesterday,
either in dimensions or in weight.

ber and the representative hall 'The
cards will be at once put in the

M OSIER. Or , Nov. 25, 1895.
Death removed one of the kindest
hearted old gentlemen that ever came
to Mosier, when on Sunday. Nov. 22,
Samuel Evans, breathed his last, in
the presence of bis aged wifo with
whom he has lived for 52 years, two cf
his sons and some of his grandchildren.
He had been In. robust, sturdy health
up to bis final illness, and gave up
only after a protracted and obstinate
struggle. He was ever cheerful, even
duiing his long sickness, and when he
became so weak as scarcely to be able
to apeak above a whisper, would cheer
ily reply to the question of friends
who would come to visit him as to bis
condition, "Well. I believe I am a
little bei ter today." His face beamed
with kindness and charity for his fel
low men, leaving thereon a settled ex-
pressisn of benevolent goodness that
was in no way disguised by the accumu
lating wrinkles and marks of age which
time bequeaths. Samuel Evans eomea
from a family who are proud to tell of
an exploit of one' of the mothers of our
republic, when the nation was . in its
infancy, struggling for existence and
its own autonomy. The father of
Samuel Evans was a babe prematurely
.born through the heroie effort made by
iu mother to warn tbe revolutionary
army led by Washington, that tho
British were besieging Georgetown,
The subject of our sketch was also on
terms of intimacy with Abraham
Lincoln and has stopped often at Lin-
coin's bouse when the martyred presi
dent was yetastudentin Bloomington,
111.
Samuel Evans was born in Huron
county, N. Y., April 21, IP22, and was of
English descent. His parents immi
grated to Illinois when he was. three
years of age and built tbe first house
in Bloomington. In 1854 he was mar
ried to Evelyn King in Champagne
county. The family moved to Missouri
in I860, and in 1873 to Summer county,
Kansas. He was one of the Oklahoma
"boomers," and was in that memorable
rush for land when the territory was
thrown open to settlement. Through
out all his experiences, bis fortunes
and his visitudes be has remained a
steadfast Chrlstion, an exemplary
citizen and a firm friend to all worthy
of friendship. He has been a member
of tbe Missionary Baptist church for I
25 years. His cherry manner, pre-j
served to the day of his death, has shed
many sunbeams of hope across the j
pathway of those with whom be has:
chanced to associate, and his purse has j
eyer been open to the demands of '
charity".' He ieaves'-besides-the Lwlfe '

JAPANESE ART.
Queer Effects of Tradition
the Native Artists.
Upon
Methods r the Masters Carried Out ta a
Exacceratea Extent by tbe Disciples
of Their (tespectlTe Schools Pa
cnllarliiei of Flower Work.
Japanese drawings of flowers and
they usually draw them beautifully
are often influenced in some wav bv a
a 1 : . : n.i . . - -
irauiuun. x ne man wno invented the
method was a true impressionist, writes
Alfred Parsons in Harper's Magazine.
He seized what appeared to him char
acteristic of the plant, and insisted on
an to tne exclusion of other truths.
thus founding a mannerism which all
following artists imitated. In time.
what he saw as characteristic became
exaggerated by his disciples, who
looked at nature only through his eye
and not with their own, and I have ob
served that the flowers which are tnst
frequently drawn are not so like the
originals as those less popular ones de
picted in books of botany and such
like, for drawing which there is no rec
ognized method, and where the
araugntsman relied entirety on hi
own observation for his facta, Take,
for example, the spots on the lotus
stems; if you look very closely you can
see that there are tpots, . but certainly
they could not strike every artist as a
marked feature of the plant, for they
are not visible three yarda away. But
aome master noticed them many years
ago and spotted his stems, and now they
all spot them, and the spots get bigger
and biggert and so it will be until some
original genius arises who will not be
content with other people's eyes, but
will dare to look for himself, and he
may perhaps, without abandoning Jap
anese metnoas, get nearer to nature
and start a renaissance in Japanese
art, ' The Japanese treatment of land
scape is not more conventional that of
Claude or David Cox, or than the short
band of our pencil (.ketches, but it re
cords facts in a different way.
The everlasting question in art is the
imitation of nature; it has never been
carried farther in certain directions
than by Millais and his pre-Eaphaelite
brethren, or in others than by Manet,
Monet and the modern French, but no
one can put in everything; look at a
simple bunch of leaves in sunlight
against a wall, and think how long it
would take to really imitate all their
complexities of form, color, and light
and shade; some facts can only be given
by ignoring others, and the question
what is the importantthip.gwb.lch must 1
bp insisted on is the personal affair of .
each individual artist in every country
where art is unfettered and alive. But
in Japanese, as in liyzantlne and other
eastern arts, this question is still de
cided by the practice of past genera
tions, and it will take all the vitality
of a strong man to Infuse new life into
it without destroying its many ex
quisite qualities. Perhaps when Japanese-
artists absorb its spirit instead
of merely trying to imitate its methods,
western art may help in the direction

Probably aa ITaroaaded Rumor.
The rumor that Portland is to have
another morning newspaper is again
in circulation. It is said that several
prominent men are figuring on the
proposition, and will arrive at some
definite conclusion in a day or two. If
the paper is started, it will not be
lacking in funds to push it along until
it can be placed on a paying basis.
With the necessary amount of money,
all the brains and ability required
could be furnished. Report has it that
typesetting machines will be ordered
from the east this week and the new
enterprise launched as soon as possi
ble. It cannot be said authentically
at this time just who is at the back of
the movement, but they are all sound
business men who are not accustomed
to trifling. It will be a first-class
newspaper.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, 111., was told by her doctors sne
had consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr
King's New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr. Thomas Eggers, 139 Florida
street, San Francisco, suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching consump
tion, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. It is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the won
derful efficacy of this medicine in
coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at
Blakeley & Houghton's drug store.
Regular size 50c. and $1.

ism, in which the priests have contin
ually endeavored to play tbe part of
conciliators. Vishnu and Siva are now
the chief contending parties, and the
priests have tried to make them agree
by adding a third supreme deity in the
shape of llrahma. Of this fact ingen
ious 6e archers after collateral evidence
of Christianity have made capital, say
ing that Brahma, Vishnu and Siva are
inseparable, and that the Hindoos are
evidently in possession of the dogma of
the trinity, says a writer in the Cen
tury. As a matter of fact this is pure
nonsense, and contains as much truth
as the parallels that have been drawn
between Christ and Buddha, Christ and
Krishma, Napoleon the Great and
Apollo. Archbishop Whately, in his
great squib, shorfed once and for all
the absurdity of such demonstrations.
For the chief of Buddhist institutions
was tbe monastery, and in no Catholic
country have the mendicant and priest
ly orders ever flourished in such num
bers, in. such wealth or in anch power
as they did in India daring the eight
or nine hundred years which elapsed
from the rise to the extinction of Budd
hism. , . i
The monks took the vows of poverty
and mendicancy aa individuals, bat the
order, as a body, owned vast estates,
magnificent buildings and untold
riches. Their error lay in severing
themselves too mncb. from tbe people,
in making their religion too abstract
for popular comprehension, in leading
Uvea which were too secluded to admit
of any breadth of view and too well
provided with good things for any great
intellectual activity. They have left
but little behind them worthy to be
ranked as literature. In countries
where people live much in the open air,
dress simply when they dless at all and
eat what they can get, it requires little
effort of imagination or skill of pen to
make them seem as primitive as one
pleases. As a matter of fact, where it
is very easy to live, or, at least, where
little thought or labor is requisite to
obtain the means of living, a nation en
dowed with any natural activity is very
likely to devote its energies to intel
lectual pursuits; and the result is sure
to be a state of national thought which;
in despite of scanty clothing and rice
for breakfast, dinner ami supper, will
turn out the very reverse of primitive.
India is such a country, and, so far as
the Aryans are concerned, always has
been. What it was before the Aryan
conquest we have no means of know
ing, but it is not at all likely that the
modern religions and customs belonged
to the aborigines prior to that date. It
seems much more natural to suppose
that the Vedic hymns and the Vedic
faith if we may so call it were at all
times the exclusive property of the
higher class of Aryans and that popu
lar religions existed among the masses,
as they do now, simultaneously with
the highly-civilized belief of the Vedic
Brahmans. ' The word' brahmana, as
designating a member of the priestly
caste (distinguished from the brahman,
the officiating priest and singer of the
sacred verses), is found only in the very
latest of the hymns, showing, that no
such distinction was necessary before
the fusion of the classes which proba
bly accompanied the southward migra
tion. v
process, and of a staote of fiber suitable
for working, and 'twisting it either by
roving or rolling, so as to give it the
appearance of a coarse cord, and this
rove is afterward woven so as to form
a fabric of it adapted for use as carpet
ing, jacketing for steam pipes and boil
ers, packing cloth, etc
Another method consists in forming
with the fibers of turf a sort of wad
ding of any thicltness whatever,
adapted to Che kind of fabric to be
produced, and then quilting it so as to
form squares or any kind of designs,
or figures, or even without symmetry
or regularity; this quilting firmly unites
the constituent fibers of the wadding.
Converting the latter into a true cloth,
which is both thick and flexible, and
adapted, for use in the manufacture of
lovers of all kinds, wrappers, etc.
