ThaukHglving day is chiefly an i During the civil war, President Lio Amerlcan Inatltutlon. After the first coin frequently recommended the ob harvent of the New England colonists ' servance of such a day after victories, in 1021, Governor Hradford made pro-! and made a proclamation for a natioo vision for their- rejoicing specially ! al observance in 18G3. together with praise and prayer. In 1 Since that time such a proclamation 1023 a day of fasting and prayer in the midst of drought was changed into thanksgiving by the coming of rain during the prayers; gradually the cus tom prevailed of appointing thanks giving annually after harvest. These appointments were by proclamation of the governors of the several New Hngla'nd states. During the Kevol-n lion a day. of National thanksgiving was recommended by congress. Wash ington recommened such a day, after the adoption of the constitution, and his example was occasionally im itated by subsequent presidents. Ceorge Joseph In New Role. It would seem from the following; cllpiicd from the Oregonlitn of a recent date, that in. e Iakevlew boy, though nit tier small in statue, Is gain In some prominence as a pugilist, as well fui a great corporation lawyer. However George had lest return to tlii' sagv'iruHti haunts of his boy hood days and take a lesson or two In "eye punching," so that the punched will have no doubts about the land lug of the punch. "Didn't hit me at all," la the denial The Dalles ex-Mayor, F. A. Seufert. of the story that G. w. Joseph, a belligerent Portland lawyer, smote him In the eye, he would m.t hava dared tin' ii iih, If my arms had not been held by somebody. VTheu he hits me he's welcome to It, and when he gets his franchise he's wel come to that, too. Then I'm going to let him use my carcass for a rail road tie and spike me down so he'll know he's got me. I!ut he won't get hit franchise. I knocked that out, nud that.s what made him mad. Ite tnlnds me of the time when 1 backed him up against the plate-glass win dow in Tin Dalles and thought It w as going to cost me f 1 25 for shoving lit lit through the glass, "Come out into the middle of the floor, when I can enjoy your em braces,' I Haiti to him after he made a swipe at me the other night, but he didn't come." Thus lightly docs the salmon king of Wasco County pa8 off tha Inci dent. The trouble grew out of the application of Joseph's Dufur rail road, the Great Southern, for a fran chise on Second street. Netifert op posed the fmnclilse, and, to the dis gust of Joseph, had it referred to the June election. Seufcrt told the Coun cil that the town had enouuli of rail road franchise in theO, K. and N's posrtt'HHlon of Front street, ami that the Great Southern road, instead of being an Oregon Corporation, as ft should be, was a Washington creat ion, for the purposeof avoiding suits and summonses in Oregon. Out of this assertion grew hostill ties and th blow which Joseph is said to have planted on Seuferts eye, but which Seufcrt says didn't land Next timi the "little lawyer" makes a pass at Seufcrt the hitter's hands won't bo held, and, as wheu Seufcrt almost shoved lilm through a plate glass window, there Will till "HOlll ' thlng doing." So says the salmon king, atul any body who knows him knows he's a lighter. W. 1'.

They returned to Luke county after about tlve yoara' residence in Cottage Grove. Mr. and Mrs. Hull' were wamily welcomed back to Lakcview by many friends who were glad to see them looking so well.

Of late years, the custom of appointing a Thanksgiving day by the governors of states, long confined to New England, has been adopted through the country. It is the custom of the president to issue bis proclamation in advance of th governors' issuance, and tbe latter follow the established rule of appoint ing tbe last Thursday or November. The day is observed all over tbe coun try by feasting, as well as by prayer. A Jonah Watch. Tbe Portland Journal's Kelso, Wush. correspondent sends that paper the following bit of news: For seven years Axel Olson's wpteh reposed In tbe stomach of a cow. It kept running all that time. And it tbe seven yeata it lost just three min utes! Axel says be is telling tbe truth, and be has tbe watch to show for it He's a rancher on tbe upper Coweeman, and be came to Kelso yesterday with a remarkable tale. One day seven years ago a playtul calf found Axel's coat and vest bang ing on a post in bia barnyard. The calf didn't come from Harlem, but tbe vest looked palatable so it chewed a way at tbe garment until the pocket was cut through and tbe watch slipped down its throat. Then tbe calf inno cently sauntered away and Axel could not find bis watch. He didnt notice tbe telltale marks on the vest and sup posed it was stolen. The calf grew into a matronly milch cow, and still the watch stayed in its stomach. Last week Axel slaughtered the cow who had outlived .her usefulness. A glitter iu her stomach caught his eye. It was bis watch ! lie was still more surprised to see that the minute hand, was running as if nothing "had happened. Tbe time piece was really unharmed, though tbo case was tarnished. He accounts for the phenomenon by saying that the watch was a stem winder and Jodged iu the respiratory tubes. Every time the calf breathed the stem turned upd the watch was kept wound up all those seven years. Supreme Court Decisions. The routine of Supreme Court bus- mess contained tho following: In the case of the State of Oregon, appellant, vs. Warner Vulley Stock Lompauy, respondent, from Lake Couuty. heretofore ordered dismissed, u motion to remand was denied iu an opinion by Justice Hailey, who holds that tho state had an opportunity to amend while iu tho court below, but elected to stand upon its defective complaint, though tho defects had been pointed out. Jasper Jennings, the Josephine county youth who wus convicted of the murder of his father in September 11K'5, was granted a now trial by Judge Hailey on tho grounds of error in the lower court. Bachelors. "Bachelors cuu bo found roaming at large iu till parts of tho world. They inhabit apartments, clubs, opou fields, bodies of water aud music balls. They aro also seen behind tho scenes. They hover ut times near front gates, find huvo been found iu back purlers with tho aid of a searchlight. "l'achelors ure nomad io by ( nature aud variable iu their tustos, never go iug w ith ouo girl loug enough to be dangerous. "Bachelors make lovo easily, but rarely keep it.

STATE DOES HOT QWEADOLLAR. livery County but one has Paid Its Taxes. $415,34099 IN THE TREASURY. R i - mmertdMions F-or ScveraL A mend men t ao the State Constitution. A a. em dispatch to the Portland (r- :.ian gives State Treasurer .Ucun'a bieniai report as follows: Tii. i tbe State of Oregon bas not a dciai jj debt of any kind, tbat every v. Hiiau. baa been paii when presented wituiu tbe past two years and that every county except Malbeur has paid its State taxes when due, are tacts set forth by the bieniai report of State Treasurer Moore, which bas been made public. Among other important recommen dations made by the State Treasurer are, tbat the inheritance tax be amen ded so as to pply to estate of S5000 instead of estates of $10,000, and that tbe exemption of loOOO to direct heirs be reduced to f2300. Mr.. Moore be lieves tbat tbe income from the in heritance tax could thus be doubled. Tbe revenue thus derived 'in tbe last two years was $38,181.61. It is also recommended that, in view of the two tax laws enacted under initiative last June, an inheritance tax depart ment be created, similar to tbe corpo ration department, ander tbe super vision of the State Treasurer. Tbe other recommendation made by tbe Treasurer is that the act ot 1903, requiring relatives to pay 110 a month for tbe maintenance insane patients, if able, be repealed. The general summary of the finances of tbe fctate for tbe two years shows a balance of $415,340.99 in the treasury, of which sum $212,512.03 is in tbe gen eral fund and $71,883 05 in the com mon school fund. This shows that tbe idle funds in the school fund have oeen reduced from $200,361.24 to $71, 883.05 in two years, the money having been lo.-.ned out at interest. We understand that W. H. McCall, formerly a resident of Silver Lake, bas moved to Paisley to reside, and bas purchased tbe E. C. Stickel resi dence, which is a fine brick one, for $900. Mr. Stickel, so we understand, w ill move to New Pine Creek where be will w ork at brick masonry.
