PROCLAMATION.
A hundred years have passed since
the Government which our forefath-
ers founded was formally organized.
At noon on the Both day Of April,
1889, in the city of New York, and
in the presence of an asscmblage of
the heroic men whose patriotic deyo-
ton had led the colonies to victory
and independence, George Washing
ton took the oath of Office as Chief
Magistrate of the new born Repub-
lie. This impressive act was pre-
ceded at nine o'clock in the morning,
in all the churches of the city, by
prayer for Gods blessing on the
Government and the President
The centennial of this illustious
event in our history has been de
clared general holiday by act of
Congress to the end that the people
of the whole country may join in
exercises appropri-
ate to the day. In order that the
joy Of the occasion may be associa-
ted with deep thankfulness in tho
minds OF the people for all our bless
ings in the past, and deyout sup
plisation to God for their gracious
continuance in the future, the repre-
sentatiyes of the religious creeds,
both Christian and Hebrew, have
memorialized the government to des
igna,c an hour for prayer and thanks
giving on that day.
Now, therefore, l, Benjamin Har-
rison, President of the United States
of America, in response to this pious
and reasonable request, do recon-
mend that on Tuesday. April Both,
ut the hour of nine o'clock in the
morning, the people of the entire
country repair to their respective
places of divine worship to implore
the favor of God that the blessings
of liberty, prosperity and peace may
abide with US a people, and that
His hand may lead US in the paths
of righteousness and good deeds.
In witness whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States of America
to be affixed. Done in the City of
Washington this 4th day of April.
in the year of our Lord 1889, and of
the independence of the United

It Is right here!
Capitalists are at this very time
quietly circulating in our midst look
ing up business opportunities.
You can't make town attractive
without attracting somebody.
They have found US out.
They always do.
We have the most attractive town

Railroad and water communities.

bic and varied natural resources; a
central location; healthful climate
and surroundings; splendid scenery
the State University; natural gas,
and mountain spring water!
Outside Of the business opportuni-
ties there is no place in this section
that can equal us as a summer re-
sort.
This is cur trump card.
We are bound to become great
summer resort in very few years.
We have mineral springs all around
MS with as much virtue as those
which, at other points, attract hun
dreds of people every year.
Beside this we will soon have a
mountain spring in every kitchen
All we want is first class sum-
mer hotel, and the guests would pour
into it almost unlimited.
And we'll have it!
We will stake our reputation as a
prophet on the prediction that with
in the next twenty four months there
will be a big summer hotel here
crammed full Of guests.
Paste this in your hat.
The New DOMINION has already
entered several predictions in this
line, and they are already in fulfil
ment. Our own people begin to sec
it and the real estate market has
taken squirt.
Look out for new Developments
very soon.
Our boom is on.

ner, who so ably represented this
country at the Court of Versailles,
are also identified professionally, as
lawyers, with many B. a o. matters.
But they are nobody's men. They

PAST FINDING OUT.
The Ways of IA Woman Armed with an

Among the things enumerated by Solo

streets in these days, when every member

feel that the author of Ecclesiastcs missed Il
golden opportunity in not being able to add
this item to the list OF things too wonderful
for him.
The woman with an umbrella, in the first
place, says u writer IN the Boston Courier,
assumes that the sidewalk is laid down for
her sole and especial use With certain
oriental potentatcs the umbrella is Il sign OF
authority in virtue OF which all hcEa.dor,
are expected to understand that II Is their
duty TO make way and give the road to The
exclusive use OF the high and mighty lord
OF the umbrella. In virtue Of sCme subtle
instinct the moment woman takes IN her
hand suushade aud walks abroad, all the
oriental significance Of that insignia
seems TO Impress itself upon her soul,
and she goes forth 10 take posses
sion of the streets that have become
hers by right Unfortunately she lacks
the guards which are provided To en-
force respect 10 the unfurlod umbrella
OF the potentates she initiates, and she is,
therefore, obliged to do her own fighting
hul Win Nhat u glorious ana cutVlNe zeal
she does il How men who venture rashly
90 come IN her way are swept aside, their
hats knocked in the dust, their ewes
prudded, their faces scratched by the points
with which the circumference OF the para
sol brstles, How women who presume 10
display like signs Of rank are hustled,
banged and frowned upon, and with what
raucor rival sunshades clash together. The
amount OF vim woman can put into the
thrust she gives 20 the sunsAade OF another

The result Of the tr,umphal progress of

Her path Is strowcd with wrecks. Bias
phcming men pursue their hats along tho

trust without an anxious thought Of
risk.
Experience has taught our people
that investing their money in co
operative institutions from abroad
has been a costly business. They
may be all solid and they may not
be. At any rate there is a hazard in it
which the careful citizen owes il to
himself and perhaps his family to
steer clear Of; possible adventure
upon whose worthless stock no man
should be tempted to waste his hard
earned competence. As long as we
can do just as well at home, where
is the Use in going wildly after
strange contrivances? There is
none.

WORK TOGETHER.

The reason why there are go few
persons, comparatively speaking
who are Interested in the prosperity
of their town is that there Is ),
much difference of opinion rs tt
what makes place prosperous, says
the Baker CITY Eevcillc. one man
has an idea that to launch out in q
certain branch of industry would he
the very thing, and another would
prove n failure; another man enter
lains quite II different notion and
that his "hobbyn is the only thing
to insarc success. These difference
of opinion cause stagnation of the
general prosperity of II town and
"lull things to sleep" 1t is said
that when celebrated progressive
man once undertook TO enhance the
interest of his own town he consult
ed such men of like opinion ns him
self and soon the thi z was an ac-
complshed fact and prosperity the
result. A man of an cnterprlsing
spirit can do much when his hands
are strengthened by men of cores
ponding opinions; but those who
shake their heads when anything
does not accord with their views
hinder all progress.
