Opening Is An official call for a meetine of the Polk County Mohair Association, to be held in Brown's Hall in Dallas on Saturday, November 10, at 1 o'clock p. m., was made by President G. W. McBee this week. The meeting is called for the purpose of fixing the dates for the annual Oregon Angora Goat Show and electing a committee of five to make arrangements for the exhibit. It is probable that the show will be held early in January. Present prospects indicate a bigger and better show next year than any heretofore held in Oregon. Prominent goat breeders throughout the state are taking a lively interest in the coming exhibition, and many of them have signified their intention of dis playing their finest animals. The Southern Oregon breeders have at last awakened to the importance of the Dallas show and strong exhibits are promised from Douglas county, which is rapidly coming to the front as an Angora section. It is possible that exhibits will be made by Josephine and Jackson counties. The Wll lamette Valley counties and portions of the state of Washington have been represented at the Dallas show for many years past, and the hearty co operation of these breeders is assured for the coming exhibit.

CO. BOSTON Propositions now made for the Legislature not to confirm Mr. Bourne as Senator are an insult to the elec torate of Oregon. In the late election more than 80,000 voters expressed their choice as to who should be senator, and the largest number of votes, went to Mr. Bourne. The action was taken under authority of a solemn statute demanded and enacted by the people themselves. Mr. Bourne, whether worthy or unworthy, whether the like or dislike of this or that politician, Is the embodied choice of the sovereign citizenship, and there is no one with any sort of a claim or subterfuge by which to dispute his title. He is alone and unchallenged in his position. He has behind him that plurality indorse ment of the ballot box which is tne sole means by which a people can rule themselves. To refuse to ratify Mr. Bourne's se lection would be an open defy by the Legislature of the will of the people It would bring the legislative body into a disrepute that would make it loathed and hated. The ralr-play voters of the state, even though Mr. Bourne was not their candidate, to a man want him named asSenator now, and all such will hold in contempt the Legislature and legislators that attempt to set aside that which the people in 'good faith and sincerity Iiowa nnintod out as their will in the premises. It is not timely to propose a repuui ation of Mr. Bourne. To engage in Biich an enterDrise would be to offer violenco to good government, to insult the people of the commonwealtn ana trnil tho name ofOrearon in the dust for the amusement of the rest of the world. Let Mr. Bourne be confirmed, let him have the distinction he has won. and let him go to Washington and do his duty there. He can do no worse, and he will surely do a great ioni hotter than some others have done. Corvallis Times. We wish a law could be passed pro hibiting the barbaric custom of open ing caskets in public at church funerals, savs the Springfield News. It is a relic of dark ages and has no plnco in a civilized community. It ars on the sensibilities of every tender cord, and is something that the churches and undertakers ought to combine and put to an end. In nine- tenths of the cases it is merely a pandering to ghoulish curiosity. People who never spoke to the deceased in their life parade around thechurch, gape at the form of the loved one, then sro out of the presence of death, not to talk of the good deeds done in life, but to criticise the appearance of the poor clay that death has left for once at their mercy. Death is a sacred thing. If we are going on a long journey, we ao not make our adieus before a gaping crowd ; we ought not to be expected to bid our dead a last good-bye while curious eyes fatten on our grief, and we ought not to be expected to sit in the house of mourning while people we never spoke to, who have no claim on us or our loved one, jostle each other in their desire to view the re mains, and then get together and gossip over what they saw or failed to see. We believe that the majority of the people detest these painful funeral scenes and would be more than glad to see them ended, but are afraid to break a "custom." It is a duty the minister and undertaker owe to them selves and a long-suffering publio to put a stop to the exhibition ; and tuey will find the publio only too glad to uphold them with a hearty amen.

The opening attraction of the Lyceum entertainment course Is the Lulu Tyler Gates Company, which will appear at Woodman Hall on Saturday evening, November 17. This is one of the finest concert companies traveling in the United States, and its program is one that appeals to lovers of music every where. The company is playing to crowded houses in every city.visited, and the press is a unit In its praise. The Herald makes the following highly complimentary mention of the concert recently given in Albany : "Lovers of high grade entertain ment enjoyed a rare treat, last night when the Lulu Tyler Gates Company presented a musical and literary pro gram at the Christian church as has seldom been equalled in this city. "For more than two hours an audi ence that niiea tne enure Duuaiug, even the gallery, listened to the several umbers on the program, encoring every selection two or three times. 'Mrs. Gates, in her readings, won the audience completely. Tho re markable charm of her personality combined with her enthusiasm as an artist brought forth encore after encore from her listeners. Her gestures and expressions are unaffected and nat ural, her repertoire seemingly in exhaustible. Miss Edith Adams, violincellist, was neara in a numper or moBi beautiful as well as difficult selections. Repeated encores which she received attested the appreciation of the audi ence. William snyaer is a pianisi whose ability challenges comparison with any pianist heard here for some time. Mr. Graham Smith was heard in three appreciated vocal numbers. He has a deep bass voice of remark able compass and strength." Following the Gates company will come weibourn, tne wizard 01 eiec tricity, on December 5. Weibourn gives an evening of marvelous ex periments entitled "In the Year 2000," a prophecy prepared with the personal assistance of Nikola Tesla, Signor Marconi and Sir William Crookes. On February 5, Dr. John Merritte Driver, of Chicago, will lecture on "Ultimate America," and the course will close with the wonderful performance of Maro the, Magician the date of which will be announced later. Tickets covering the entire course will be placed oh sale next week at $2 each. Single entertainment tickets will be sold for SO cents. This series of entertainments will surpass any amusement course ever offered to the people of Dallas before and there will doubtless be a heavy demand for tickets. Protest on Insurance Rates. Vew fire insurance ratings for the City of Albany just received from the to rvi nt Vim Underwriters of the liuuiu Pacific increase the rate of insurance on business property from 25 to 40 per cent, and is causing mucn protest from business men. The cause given is failure to have buildings wired In accordance with thd requirements of insurance companies, but as the wiring is better than has been used in years, the reeling mer! is iut mc people arebeingmaae to paytne losses sustained by the insurance companies in San Francisco. Revived Interest In Apples. The apple crop in Willamette valley thi3 year shows a big revival of interest in the industry. Theagitation for more careful spraying, pruning and cultivation of orchards which has been waged by the valley press for the past two years has not been barren of results as this year readily snows This is particularly noticeable in the apple crop which Is better this year than tnr mnv veara past The Ore gon apple is fast getting back its old reputation and we believe that from now on it will maintain its oia pisce i Ko mr.iA nrodufftion of the west at lu Mit' "It . the top of the column. Eugene Register. Consumption If There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Ejiiulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are uving and in good health on one lung. J From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott's Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous.

The President has issued a procla mation naming Thursday, November 29, as a day of thanksgiving. Tho text of the proclamation is as follows : "A PROCLAMATION. 'The time of the year has come when, in accordance with tho wise custom of our fathers, it bncomes my duty to set aside a special day of thanksgiving and praise to tho Almighty because of blessings wo have received, and of prayer that those blessings may be continued. "Yet another year of widespread wellbeing has passed. Never before in our history, or in the history of any other nation, has a pooplo enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than has ours ; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride, and, least of all, a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibilities; but rather a sobor sense of our many blessings and a resolute purpose, under providence, not to forfeit them by any action of our own. "Material wellbeing, indispensable though it is, can never be anything but the foundation of- true national greatness and happiness. If we build nothing upon this foundation, then our national life will be as meaning less and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material wellbeing must bo built a superstructure of individual and national life within, in accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our prosperity 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 turn ing it into a means of grace, and not of destruction. "Accordingly, I heroby sot apart Thursday, the 29th day of November next, as a 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 tiio power to use these gifts aright. "In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused tho seal of the United Statos to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington this twenty-second day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and six, and of the in dependence of the United States, the one hundred and thirty-first. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT. (Seal) "By the president. Elihu Root, secretary of state." Meeker Reaches Omaha. Ezra Meeker, the pioneer, who is re tracing the old Oregon trail across the plains, recently lost one of his oxen, which he used to draw his prairie schooner. The animal took suddenly sick when on tho Platte river, In Nebraska, about 100 miles from Omaha, and died. Undaunted by this loss, Meeker purchased a large cow, and yoked her with his remain ing animal and drove into Omaha, where the citizeus of that city gave him a rousing reception. It Is re ported that Meeker Is now on his way from Omaha to Indianapolis, Ind., which is his destination. Barring the loss of one of his oxen, the under taking of the pioneer is said to be successful. He has retraced the old trail across the plains, and has marked it by erecting numerous monuments. From last reports he and his party were all well and in the best of spirits. Pleasant Surprise Party.
