A Day f Thanks.
Thanksgiving Day is here. Be
thankful that it is this year. And
again, be thankful that you can
celebrate in this world; it is the
best you have lived in for a long
time, to the best of your memory.
Bear in mind, also, that you live
in a climate free from the chilling
blasts of winter, and that this is a
productive corner of the great and
mysterious universe. Remember
that the Chinese Emperor issued
no thanksgiving proclamation this
year, and Li Hung Chang is not
singing paans of praise for the loss
of his yellow coat. These gentle
men are out of business in this one
line. You are not.
The origin of Thanksgiving Day
is clouded in mystery and obscuri
ty, but the man who invented it is
entitled to nearly as much praise
as ho who invented sleep. To en
lighten the readers of this paper,
below is given a digest by the En
cyclopedia Britannica:
"Thanksgiving is a legal holiday
in the United Slatts, where it is
generally observed as adayuron
which to return thanks to God for
the blessings of the year. The cus
tom is reputed to be of great an
tiquity, having been borrowed, as
some declare, from the Mosaic law.
This, however is doubtful, notwith
tauding the Hebrews were accus
omcd to celebrate a plenteous
harvest by public festivals and
acknowledgements. The custom of
celebrating national and local fes
tivals became established at the
earliest periods. Some are
inclined to the belief that the cus
tom was imported into this country
from Holland, where the "Harvest
Home" festival is an annual fea
ture. However this may be, the
day in the U. S. is due to the earli
est settlers - of New England.
Throughout the colonial days in
that suction they were of annual
occurrence, and during the Revolu
tionary war, congress repeatedly
recommended the setting apart of
a day to be devoted exclusively to
thanksgiving and prayer. At the
close of the war national thanks
givings were recommended and
celebrated. A noticeable feature
in this connection, is the fact that
Thursday, the day selected by the
.New England governors, has been
adopted universally throughout
the United States as 'Thanksgiv
ing Day."
In the homes of citizens, without
respect to religion, faith or church
affiliation, is made a day of merri
ment and feasting, at which fami
lies long separated . are re-united,
and ceremonies of a social charac
ter prevail."
Milling Simplified.
For many years large flouring
mills have had their own way, for
the reason that the machinery was
so expensive that email capital
could not engage in the business.
All this promises to be revolution
ized in a few years. Indeed, it
wruld appear' that already, steps
are being taken to manufacture, a
portable mill, which can turn out
from 10 to 15 barrels daily, with
an eight or ten horse potver, and
produce a flour which has gone
through the same process, that it
would in any first class mill. The
fact is, it will be the same process,
only, by the work of an inventor,
simplified. Mr. W. F. Gunn, a
practical mill man of many years
experience, was in the city Tues
day and took a trip through the
country. His mission is to intro
duce a new mill, which is his in
vention, combining all the qualifi
cations of large export mills', so far
as quality of the out-put is
concerned. It is thought that a
company will be organized and the
manufacture ot these mills be car
ried on in Portland. A fifteen bar
rel mill could be made and put on
the market for $800, and any far
mer who has an engine could pur
chase one and turn out flour for an
entire community. Or, for that
matter, a few farmers could club
together. Mr. Gunn has had to do
with the flouring business for years
and built several of the larg Pills-
bury Mills in Minneapolis. He
has also built several mills in this
state, and was one of the com
mittee which was sent to Germany
several yars ago to introduce the
roller process.
Meeting Adjourned.
The musical entertainment at
the Congregational church on last
Saturday evening was a rare treat
in that line. It was given to excite
an interest in music, while not
failing particulary, however, the
excitement was allowed to die
down before the entranced listeners
could be rushed into the fold. The
object of the meeting was a good
one, and deserves to be carried out;
as the institution, the Hillsboro
Academy of Music, would not only
serve as a school for those who
A'isli to learn music, but a lodge
for lovers of music, where they can
go and keep pace with the musical
age. The meeting, after having
selected a president and secretary.
I adjourned to meet the next hatur
day evening, when a constitution
will be read and the organization
completed.
To California.
J. C. Hare's saw-mill is running
full time these drys, getting out
ties for the S. P. Company, to ship
to California. The mill has a ca
pacity of about 30,000 per diem,
but in large timbers, many days,
as many as 40,000 are cut. Mr.
Hare gives the business his undi
vided attention, and if any one
will make the business pay he will.
Almost Completed.
Tne Castle Rock Advocate,
published in Cowlitz county, has
the following in last week's issue
relating to the light and water
plant, now being put in at that
city, by II. V. Gates, Hillsboro's
light and water plant proprietor:
"The engine for the electric light
system arrived this week and has
been put in place for business. It
is now expected that the system
wilt be in operation not later than
December 1.- The street wires are
about all stretched and the busi
ness houses nearly all wired, and
the system almost completed."
Foot-ball game.
The foot-ball game between the
Portland and Forest Grove Jun
iors, which took place at the Grove
Saturday last, ended disastrously
for the visiting team, the home
boys coming off with a score of 8
to 4. There was a large crowd at
tendant. A Large Docket.
County court officials claim that
the present docket is the largest
this term, in the history of the
county. Court opened up Monday
morning within the neighborhood
of 150 cases on hand. Besides the

If Not, Why Not?
Hillsboro is a good town. No
one disputes this fact, who is ac
attainted with it. It has good
schools, good residences, good busi
ncss buildings, an excellent agri
cultural community surrounding,
a good class of people, and nrst
class business men.
So much is well; there are things
which merit, and should receive
attention, and it will not entail
much expense. The , sidewalks
need repair in several places before
the tax payers are called upon to
pay a damage suit. There are sev
eral street crossings which need at
tention. Pedestrians auinot cross
some of these without encountering
mud and water. There are always
many who cannot afford rubbers,
and the gentle sex are entitled to
the consideration of. these little
Conveniences. Again the planked
streets are covered with deposits
which will be a nuisance as winter
rains continue. The removal of
this will give the c:ty highways a
cleaner appearance, and will be ap
preciated from a sanitary stand
point. 1 he residents of Hillsboro
should bear in mind that these con
ditions are an index to the charac
ter of the city's thrift. Don't let
these little things become habitual.
Besides, it will be less expensive
in the end, to have streets and
sidewalks in good repair, and in a
state of cleanliness. Remember
what you owe to your town.
