The child r. a of the Buy d Girls Aid
Society at Portland were remembered
this Thank giving I" very mbatantial
way, and our citizen who tent their
gift will be pleased to know that the
management of the home are very grate
ful for the kindly offerings, as are the
little people for who lnefit they were
sent. All these g'i Unrigs were pack
ed by the tefchers and pupil of the
public schools stm by them sent into
Portland, the Southern Pacific making
no charge for trunNrtation. Follow
ing is a list of the article sunt from here
last Saturday :
One doxen glanes of jelly.
One hundred quarto canned fruit.
Four tack of potato?.
Fifty pounds dried prunes.
Eighteen can vegetables.
Eight large pumpkin.
One dozen cablutge.
One sack popcorn.
One sack of carrots and beets.
One sack onion.
Ten pounds beans.
One barrel spiles.
One box apples.
Crackers, sugar, oatmeal, honey, soap.
Child's coat.
Eighty cents In money.
!ig enough to insert the finger and
thumb. Now draw the turkey, taking
care not to break the gall. Turn the
fowl over again and cut away the oil bag,
a tiny gland that lie right over the tail.
Few people know of it exiiitance, and it
often spoils the flavor of a fine bird if not
removed. The turkey should then be
washed again and is ready for the dress
ing. Drop in and look at the hoh lay goods
now being received almost daily by Mrs.
Pillsbury. Do your Christinas shopping
early before the good are picked over.
One of the most hopeful sign of the
times is the changing attitude of the
lumbermen toward the science of for
estry as fostered by the federal govern
ment. They are brgiuning to see that
their indiiHtry is doomed to an early ex
tinction unless the wastage is checked
and the forest is renewed for future
generations. And more than this, un
less the forest are preserved vast tracts
of fertile and prosperous America will
become desert in the next century.
This is a lesson taught by such countries
as Tunis, now a part of the African
desert, which in old times was a smiling
and populous garden. An Arab chronic
ler relates that "in those days one could
walk from Tunis to Tripoli in the shade."
The Arab conquest destroyed the forest,
and the desert swept over the face of
the laud. Maxwell's Tallesman.

A large crowd filled city hall last Tues
day evening, pursuant to a call for the
nomination of city officers to be voted

The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Cornelius, who was nominated
for chairman, and I.. A. 1-ong named as

takes a majority to elect. Dr. F. J. Bui
ley and II. T. Bagley were spMiinted tel
lers. L. A. Long nominated B. P. Cor
nelius to succeed himself as mayor and

It. T. Bagley nominate I F. C. lUUard
for the council; Joe Downs named A. M.
Carlile; L. A. Long nominated Ed.
Schulmerich, and Mr. Schulmerich put
the name of I A. Rood in nomination,
all (or the council. Mr. Rood declined.
II. T. Bagley moved that the nomina
tions be raado unanimous. Curried. II.
T. Bagley was nominated for city record
er by acclamation.
For city treasurer A. C. Shute and E
C. Brown were put in nomination. The

A. Long, D. W. Bath and Dr. F. J. Bui-
fey were named as a committee to fill
any vacancy that might occur, and to se
lect candidates to fill such vacancy. No
further business the meeting adjourned.
The Homestead law of 1!2, signed by
Abraham Lincoln, and the National Ir
rigation law of 1902, sinned by Theodore
Roosevelt, each bad for ita inspiration
the purpose of dividing the land in
small tracts among the people. The
one has been jmrverted by trickery and
dishonesty into an instrument for creat
ing great estates and barring the borne
muker from the land. The other, as it
now stands, is invulnerable to those
who would use it for such purposes. In
no way can it be manipulated in the in
terest of inordinate land hunger or
monopoly. Hence the incessant attacks
made upon its revenues and upon the
work of the Reclamation Service, in the
hoe of so embarrassing or crippling it
that private"seculators may absorb the
opportunities now held open to the
many. Even more than the Homestead
Act is the National Irrigation Act "The
Poor Man's Law." Kept in force, it
will forever maintain the subdivision of
all irrigated areas into small holdings;
whereas farms acquired under the Home
stead law may in a short time bo ab
sorlied in uumber into single holdings.
But a man may acquire wealth on an
irrigated farm of 100, 80, 40 and even 10
acres. One of the felicities of the sys
tem is that it is teaching thousand of
people tliut a small tract, irrigated and
intensively cultivated, pays better than
the big farm under old-fashioned meth
ods. Maxwell's Tallesman.

1 lereaftir the "opened by mistake" ex
cuse will be a niixtake that will cost $200.
The pontolRce department has ruled that
mail must lie looked over before leaving
the office, and that any letter put in your
box by mistake must be returued before
leaving the potttoflice under a penalty of
f 200 for failure to do so.
The free seed distribution by the gov
ernment costs $2(2,000 a year, besides
the coot of handling in the mails, which
costs about as much more, or half a mil
linn dollar a year, total. This sum of
money wisely uej would teach farmers
the correct plan to market and build the
machine fjr marketing, which will com
pel a profitable price for every farm crop
grown anywhere in the country. The
machine once built will not cost the farm
ers anything directly to run it, but will
pay great dividend every year. Up-to-Date

The readers of a newspaper should
make it a point to patronixe ita advertis
ers, for if it were not for their patronage
the subscription price would have to be
doubled in order to afford the publishers
any prollt. Moreover, those who are
not afraid to advertise their wares liber
ally must have faith in their value, and
the buver can be reasonably certain of
getting a good article. The rule of
shrewd advertisers is first, to be sure you
have a b.k1 article, then advertise liber
ally. hi.

Since to be without turkey on Thank
giving Is to fail to pay proper respect to
the great American festival, it behooves
the good housewile to be well up In tur
key lore ; for there are turkeys and tur
keys, some as Juicy and tender as a
spring chicken, while others also remain
warriors of the barnyard to the bitter
end and are as tough and stringy and
well nigh aa hard to swallow as India
rubber. To bavs the turkey tender and
delicious on Thnkgiving day, '-first
catch your hare;" in other words, first
select a good bird at the market, and
then see that it i cooked and basted
properly. It Is the best plan to shop for
the feast at least two days beforehand,
for if one wait until the day before all
the best birds will be picked out and on
ly the tougher lowls will be left. A
y jung turkey shoaM have smooth, black
leg and a white ikin, and should weigh
at least 12 poamli to be juicy and of good
flavor. Very scaly, rough legs Indicate
age, as do also leg that are bard, for
a young fowl' fct and legs should be
pliatile. Another good way to pick out
a young tukey i 10 examine the spur,
or, rather, th place where the spur
grow. A year-old turkey baa no spurs,
but on.y a flat knb at that place. A
turkey has a spur between a quarter and
half an inch lo is a last year's fowl,
and one with a Mr developed spur Is
over 2 years oU. To prepare the bird,
first singe it thoroughly over a saucerful
of burning alcohol, then bold It under
the faucet and wipe dry. Tbeo make a
gash down the turkey's neck, cutting to
the bone; lolJlh skin back over the
breast and lift out the crop carefully
Then turn the turkey on Its back and
make a cut at the end of the breastbone
