The president has issued a proclamation naming Thursday, November 29. as a day of thanksgiving. The text of the procla mation is as follows: "A proclamation. "ine time ol the year has come when, in accordance with the wise cus tom of our fatnerB, it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of thanksgiv ing and praise to the Almighty because of blessings we have received and of power prayer that these blessings may be continued. Yet another year of widespread well-being has passed. Never before in onr history or in the history of any other nation has a peo pie enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than has ours; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit nf reckless pride, and least of all, a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibility; but rather a Sober cense of our many blessings, and a resolute purDOse, under Providence, not to for feit them by 807 action, of oar own. "Material well-being, indispensable though it is, can never be anything but the foundation of true national great ness and happiness. If we build noth ing upon this foundation, then our na tional life will be as meaningless and empty as a house where only the found ation has been laid. Upon our mater ial well-being must be built a super structure of individual and national life lived in accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our pros perity itself will in the long run turn out a curse instead of a blessing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received and earnestly bent upon turning it into a means of grace and not of destruction. ' Accordingly, I hereby set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November, next, as the day of thanksgiving and supplication, upon which the people shall meet in their homes or churches, devoutly acknowledging that which has been given them and to pray that they may in addition receive the power to use these gifts aright. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the peal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington this 22d day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1906, and of the independence of the United States tfee 131st. "(Seal) Theodore Roosevelt. By the president. "Elihu Root, "Secretary of State." NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM THE STATE OF OREGON DISTILLERY TO BE BUILT. North Bend Will Probably Secure De natured Alcohol Plant. ftorth Bend The Coos bay country has secured the establishment of plant for the manufacture of denatured alcohol and the distillery will be ready to receive potatoes from the farmers next fall. S. T. Clover, of the American Alco hoi company, New lork, came to the Coos bay country about two weeks ago in an endeavor to interest the farmers in denatured alcohol. He was accom panied by Dr. Withycombe, who con ducted several farmer"' institutes in the county and at these meetings the sys tem of conducting denatured plants was explained to the farmers. It was ex plained that if 75,000 tons of potatoes were promised the company it would at once prepare to begin operations. The distillery could easily handle twice the quantity named, but was willing to start on a email scale. Contracts were entered into with a number of farmers on a basis of $8 per ton for three years, the distillery to take potatoes of all sizes. It is esti mated that at this price farmers will receive nearly $100 per acre for their product. It was explained by the promoters of the enterprise that when the distillery was running at its lull capacity would require 87 tons of coal per day for 10 months in the year to convert the tubers into alcohol, and this would prove a great stimulus to coal mining Furthermore, a number of by-products would be manufactured that would greatly increase the payroll. Although the site for the distillery nas not been definitely announced will probably go to North Bend. PAY TAXES DIRECT. it CHANGES IN CABINET.

Eastern Colorado has been in the throes of a blizzard to day, but the weather bureau holds ont the hope of clearing weather tonight. 8now ceased falling in Denver this af ternoon, the storm center having moved eastward. The actual fall of snow in Denver since Friday night wa about leches and in some portions of the state it was four feet or more uelay of freight and passenger traffic is the principal damage done by the storm thus far, although fruit crops and livestock are threatened. Mines Fabulously Rich. Lakeview W. I. Fleck, member of the firm of Fleck A 8nowgoose, mining experts and assayers o.' Bidwell, was in Lakeview recently on his way home from the Windy Hollow mines, in Warner valley, known now as the Lost Cabin mining district. Mr. Fleck is enthusiastic over the prospects of the new mining camp, and believes firmly that it will develop rich diggings. He stated that he took samples of the rock indiscriminately around one of the por phyry dikes on one of the claims, and alsi the dirt for several feet from the dike, and found it to assay $50 to the ton on an average. These tests were made from rock and dirt from the top of the ground. Reserve in Southern Oregon. Salem A proclamation creating the Siskiyou forest reserve, comprising about one-half of Josephine county and two or three townships of Douglas county, has been received by Governor Chamberlain from President Roosevelt. This is the reserve concerning which a strong protest was made a year or two ago by residents of Curry county. As originally planned, the reserve included about three-fifths cf Curry county, but the protests were bo strong and persist ent that the lines of the temporary withdrawal were changed and in finally creating the reserve no Curry county lands are included. over 700,000 acres. The reserve covers Oregon Tax Commission Recommends Relief for Sheriffs. Salem That the duty of collecting taxes should be taken from the sheriffs and imposed upon the county treasur ers, is one of the recommendations con tained in tne report of the Oregon Tax commission just issued from the print ing office, ibis recommendation is in itself of considerable importance in the management of county affairs, but it assumes particular interest to sheriffs and treasurers when coupled with the suggestion that this change will make necessaiy a reduction of the salaries of sheriffs and a raise of the salaries of treasurers. The commission concludes the subject by remarking that the leg islature, if it makes the change, Bhould not overlook the salary matter. That the handling of public funds is more particularly the work of a treas urer and not of a sheriff, is the m-inci- pal reason for the proposed change Ihe commission is of the opinion , that the accounts could be just as accurately checked if the money were paid direct ly to county treasurers bb it could be if it were first paid to the sheriffs and bv them turned over io the treasurers. There would be one less opportunity for mismanagement. The commission does not base its recommendation bo much upon its own reasoning, however, as it does upon the reasoning of a sher iff, who is quoted, but whose name is not given. PLUNGE TO DEATH. Buying Great Tracts of Timber. Eugene The Monroe Lumber A Milling comoany, of Monroe, Wash., is having recorded deeds to 5,000 acres of timber land in Lane and Benton coun ties, and it is reported that the com pany intends to construct a railroad from Eugene, Corvallis or Junction Ciy, to the timber, if another 5,000 acres of timber land can be secured at a reasonable figure. If more land can not be secured, the company wil hold what they now have as a speculation. The land involved is in the northwest ern part of Lane county. Harness Olive Lake. Sumpter The Fremont Power com pany, which has been for some time past engaged in harnessing .the waters of Olive lake for power purposes, ii pushing operations toward the comple tion of its plant by employing almost every idle man in the district. Men have been impcrted from almost every section of Eastern Oregon by this com pany to work on the ditch and pipe line as well as installing its huge power machinery. This company is identified with the Red Boy mine also, which property will be operated in the future by electric power, instead of ateam. as heretofore. Three Loaded Trolley Cars Leave Track and Go Through Trestle. Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 30. By the wrecking of a three coach train on the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad Sun day afternoon at least 50 passengers perished and the list may reach the; total of 75 when all is known. While crossing the drawbridge spanning the waterway known as the "Thorone-h- fare," which separates Atlantic C.Uv from the mainland, the train left the tracks and plunged into the water. ine passengers in the first two coaches, with one or two exceptions, were drowned. Twenty-five bodies have been recovered, and it is expect ed that at least 25 and possibly 50 more bodies still are in the submerged coaches. The accident was witnessed by many persons on shore, and assistance was promptly sent from Atlantic City. Little could be done, however, toward saving the lives of those imprisoned in the submerged coaches. The water at the point where the train plunged in was not deep . enough to cover the coaches at first, but as they settled in the mud and as the tide rose thev were soon gone from sight. Late in the evening a wrecking crew arrived, and with their aid and with the use of a derrick, a dozen or more bodies were taken out and brought to this city. Of the 25 bodies about 20 have been identified and it is believed that no difficulty will be experienced in establishing the identity of the others. The trestle is about a mile long and 15 feet above the water, and the drop to the water required several seconds, giving time for the passengers to see and calculate their fate. The accident was due to a rail "turning in." It appears that the rail which was an outside one on the right hand side coming down, must have been out of plumb about an eighth of an inch. The sharp flange of the elec tric caught this and twisted it inwards. This twist threw the first car off the track and into the water. The re sult was that the second and third cars were dragged with it and while tne tnira car was descending the rear portion struck a piece of the abut ment, hung there for a short time and then slid into the water. This brief stop saved several lives. A number o( men and women leaped out of win dows and the rear door either into the water or caught hold of a post and were rescued. It was stated that fully 80 to 100 passengers were aboard, mostly all crowded into the first and second cars. These are engulfed. Among the pas sengers were 20 members of the Royal Artillery band, who were on their way here from Philadelphia. Ono or two bodies of the band were recovered early in the afternoon. PRESIDENT FEARS ANGER OF JAPAN Sends Metcalf to Inquirelnto San Francisco Boycott.

Modern Road in Coquille Valley. Myrtle Point The rock crusher wnicn nas oeen operated at tne quarry on the road between Myrtle Point and Coquille, is about to suspend work, ow ing to wet weather. The result of the work which has been done thus far is the graveling of the entire road between Coquille and Myrtle Point. This road is laid on a good grade, and the cover ing of crushed rock makes it as good c road as any Oregon can boast of. It is an excellent quality of rock for thia purpose, which is quarried where the crusher is located. Plans for English Teachers' Tour. .New lork, Oct. 24. An elaborate tour of the United States has been planned for the 500 Englieh teachers who are to visit this countrv soon un der the directions of Alfred Moeely, C M. G.

Eugene Approximately 10,000 acres of the finest timber land in the state changed hands a few days ago when a arge number of Eugene people and a few others residing elsewhere, sold thpir holdings on Q lartz creek, in the McKeniie country, 50 miles eat of Kueene. The sale was made to two Portland capitalists, whose names are not made public, for about $25 an acre, Ithough the exact purchase price was not given out. The land is in town ship 17 south, range 4 east, and has been pooled for Bale since 1901, at which time the price was set at $10 an acre. Big Timber Deal at Dallas. Dallas It is understood in Dallas thai the largest timber deal ever made in Polk county has jutsc been closed. The transaction involves more than $100,000 and includes the mills and timber bo'dings of the Johnson Lumber company, in Dallas; alfo the tract known as the Hallock property. The purchaser in understood to be the Will amette Valley Lumbering company. owner of the Cone mills and Falls City railroad. Lane Prune Crop Is Big. Eugene Prune drying in Lane coun ty has been about completed, and it is foundthat the output this'ye'' i much 1 .1 1 i . r . larger man laai year.

Soldiers are now approaching the band of renegade Utes from five diff erent points, and it is only a question of time until the redskins are either forced to surrender or are annihilated by the cavalry from Fort Keogh, ap proaching from the north, two more troops from Fort Meade from the northwest, two from Fort Robinson, out of Gillette, closing in from the southeast, two from the same fort ad vancing from Arvada, from the south. and two companies of infantry from Fort Mackenzie, from the west. The Utes are traveling northwest, and according to a report have not yet passed the Big Powder. The band is making direct for the Cheyenne agency, across the river. It now looks as though the several bodies of Wy oming militia will Pe aoie to arrive in the vicinity of Ashland, f0 miles north of here, by Monday at least, in which event a battle will probably be fought n the valley of Tongue River, near that, place. Ashland Is 12 miles from the Ch-v- enne reservation, and tne ries nave already sent couriers to the Cheyennes for help in case they decide on resist ance to the regulars. Squads of infan try from Fort Mackenzie left Sheri dan for Arvada, where they will guard tho Kiinnlles in order to release the. full strength of the cavalry. Washington, Oct. 27. President Roosevelt last night directed Victor H. Metcalf. Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, to nroceed to , San Francisco and make a thorough and complete inquiry into the situa tion affecting the exclusion of Japan ese children from the schools provided for white children and the determina tion to place Japanese pupils in sep arate schools. The President is anx ious to obtain at first hand, from a Cabinet officer who Is acquainted with local conditions in San Francisco, full information affecting every phase of the subject, to the end that whatever action is taken by this government may be after an accurate understand ing of the situation. The President feels that every effort within hia power should be exerted to see that all the treaty rights claimed by the, Japanese for their people residing in the United States shall be respected and protected. The determination to send Mr. Met calf to San Francisco was one of tho requests made by Viscount Aoki. tho Japanese Ambassador, who, at a con ference with Secretary Rtxit yester day, asked that the Japanese subjects in California be accorded their full rights under the treaty of 1894, in cluding that of the children to attend the public schools of San Francisco. This request was the subject of very long and earnest discussion at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, when the conclusion was reached that the best thing to do was to send Mr. Metcalf to California to secure personally all the data which could have any pos sible bearing on the situation. The despatch of a Cabinet officer on such a mission, it was argued, would dem onstrate to the Japanese the evident sincerity of the Government in dealing with the whole subject and its desire to show that every effort is being made to get at the facts. Incidental to the inquiry into the school question. Mr. Metcalf will pay some attention to the charges made by Count Aoki that Japanese restaurant keepers in San Francisco have suf fered indignities. These reports, the Ambassador says, come from consular officers of the Japanese government in San Francisco. Seven or eight re ports have been made concerning a boycott inaugurated against these res taurants, stating that agents have been posted to prevent natrons from entering the restaurants and in several instances stones have been thrown and windows broken. The Japanese officials in Washing ton say they realize that these dem onstrations and the exclusion of the school children, are acts local in character, CHINESE ARMY EFFICIENT. Effort to Overawe Renegades. Omaha, Oct. 30. The departure from Fort Robinson, Neb., or tour roops of the Tenth Cavalry makes a total of 7fi5 officers and men on the way to the scene of the depredations f the Ute Indians on Powder river .in Wyoming. It is honed to overawe tne Indians by the display of a strong force and prevent a fight. They are. however, well armed and very sullen, and it is hard to say what will happen. There are about 350 in the party, tn cludine women and children, but I de not think there are over 150 fighting men among them. Carries Portable Wireless Plant and Wins Expert's Praise. Changtufu, Oct. 27. A notable fea ture of the Autumn maneuvers of the Chinese imperial army, which ended Thursday, has been a portable wire less telegraphy apparatus, carried up on light wagons and so adjusted that it can be erected In less than 3f minutes. The stations were operated by Chinese officers of tho telegraph corps. The maneuvers ended with victory for the Northern army. At a village five miles south of Changtufu this army succeeded In checking the ad vance of the Southern army. The program began with cavalry opera tions, followed Wednesday by artil lery practice. All arms displayed ex cellent discipline. Experienced military observers are of the opinion that with the exception of certain minor defects and making allowance for the fact that the opera tions were an experiment, the maneu vers were almost equal to those con ducted in Europe. The maneuvers cost $500,000. Clash With Red Men. Butte, Mont., Oct. 30. A Minor spe cial from the north states that meager nu-irps have hf en received at Fort Benton of a stabbing and shooting af fray in the Sweet Grass Hills, CO miles distant, between Indians and whites. ns the result of which two men are dead and two badly wounded.

Some of the men have been sentenced to trnm 5 to 20 years' imprisonment at hard labor. California Again Fails. San Francisco, Oct. 27. The cruiser California again failed yesterday in the endurance test, which is all that stands between her and acceptance by the government. With the naval trial board and accompanied by the de stroyer Paul Jones, the California went outside the heads for her third trial at the endurance Tun. After a run of an hour and a half, during which she exceeded the contract speed of 22 knots, the cruiser was forced to return to port on account of over heating of the Journals on the port engine.
