THEY ARE GRATEFUL, ANYHOW.

Editors who receive compli-
mentary tickets to county fairs
and other places are often looked
upon as deadheads, but the mana
gers of the Henry county fair,
who have had some experience i'll
such matters, had the following
printed upon the complimentary
tickets they issued: This ticket
probably has been paid for ten
times over by the paper to which
it is issued. 1t will be honored
in the hands of any man, woman
or child, white, black, red or yellow,
who favors the association by pre-
senting it. 1t is good for entrance
and grand stand, and the bearer, if
driving, will be entitled to pass
a team free. The association rec
ognizes the fact that its splendid
success is owing largely, if not
wholly, to the notices so freely
given by the press, and while. we
cannot render an equivalent in
cash, we return our grateful thanks

FROM BENTON COUNTY'S HARBOR

Under date of November 10, the follow.
ing dispatches from Newport are given,
which furnish some very interesting items:
"Work on the jetties at Yaquina bay
ceased last Friday, and most of the force
was paid of and discharged. A small num-
her of men are now engaged in putting
| things in shape for the layof that will
probably last unit! the middle of next sum-
ner, and longer if the coming congress fails
to make an appropriation. During the past
fourteen months a large amount of work
has been accomplished on this improve
ment, the south jetty being practically
| finished.
Yesterday morning the steamer Richard
son met with an accident that came near
sending her on to the south beach. just as
she was leaving the dock for Yaquina her
rudler broke. and she was at the mercy
Of the tide Fortunately the tiao was set
ting in, and after grazing the south sand
spit she drift across the channel and was
warped to t66 <1ock. Ii the tide had been
ebbing. she would probably have gone out
over the bar.
The business men of Newport will shol tly
organize board of trade and start move
ment Oh foot to build tho long talked of
railway from this bay to Kings valley
An effort will be made to induce the people
of Salem to take hold of the project. 1t
would be more feasible road for them than
one to Astoria. The advantages of this
road to the people of Independence, Salem
and Portland will probably be presented in
detail before long by the Yaquina bay reo-
i Pile. ..
At present Yaqnina City has no existence
except by the courtesy of the Oregon Pa
citic road, as that company owns all the
land on which people have been permitted
to build stores and houses; but, if rumor is
true, the coming spring will see change
there, and town laid of. The
chances are that the business center of va
quina bay will be Ya9uina City.
A motor road from West Yaquina to
Alsea bay, fourteen miles south, is talked
of, and the chan ces are that portion OF it
will be constructed next summer.
The Oregon Pacific Company has just
completed large reservoir on the bluffs
back of the docks, and land four.inch iron
mains to their warehouses, shops, etc.
They can throw two or three streams o'
water equal to a steam fire engine. 1t
gives them splendid water service"

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.

George May Powell, a Phil
adelphia man, is devoting himself
to the advocacy of a school savings
bank system which appears to be
a very good one. Mr.. Powell
hopes, by this system, to teach
children to be economical and to
spend money wisely.
Statistics which. have been COL
lected lately show that there are
sixty. schools in seven different
states of the Union that have es-
tablished savings banks in which
9,7O0 pupils, with the encourage
lnent of $50 teachers, have accu-
mulated $4,000. The Oldest of
these school savings banks is in
Long Island city. It has been i'll
existence for five years. 1t was
this little bank that on the morn,
ing after the. terrible Johnstown
disaster in the Conemaugh valley,
through its depositors, contributed
the sum 5of 1852 81 to the relief
fund. This fact disposes of those
objections to the school savings
banks on the ground that they
would develop and encourage
avarice. just what serious OBJ
jections can be made to this system
cannot be seen, and there is evil
IDENTIFY no reason why it should
not be adopted in all cities.

COUNTRY ROADS.

College professors, civil en-
gineers and magazine writers are
directing public attention TO the
subject of country highways, and
the Vanderbilt university, Tenn.
has gone so far as to provide for
the free instruction in road engi-
neering Of one person from each
county in that state. The Balti-
more Sun, which is agitating the
Question in Maryland, points out
that the power required to draw a
wagon weighing with it's load one
ton OH level, mecadamized road
of broken stone is 65 pounds, which
is incre;: sed to 200 pounds on a
common dirt road. Prof. Ely, OF
Johns Hopkins university, esti-
mates that poor roads cost the
farmer on an average $15 per horse;
and Prof. jerks of Knox college,
Illinois, argues that with good
permanent roads, freight could
often be hauled ten miles Oh
wagons cheaper than it could be
taken one mile on dirt road to .
railroad station, unloaded, put on
the cars, freight paid, unloaded
from the cars and carried to its
destination. OF the social inf1u
ence of good roads he says that So
large part of the mental inspiration
of the farmers depends on theil
ability to attend church, lectures
concerts and social gatherings at {
distance; and really good roads, by
enabling them to 60 SO much more
easily, would doubtless raise the
whole intellectual tone of the

A FIAsco foot race race between
w. O. Thine and f. G.. Cameron arranged
for yesterday afternoon didn't terminate.
The men toed the mark for two hours in
the chill and rain; but according to all the
reports Cameron was afraid to run and
would not cross the mark with Trine,
though he was given every opportunity and
coaxed and humored, TheIe is little doubt
that such was his intention. The Judge
declared the race off, and the disgusted
crowd hissed and "ratted" the Corvallis
sprint as he left the ground. Those who
claim to be on the inside of foot races de-
clare that Cameron Is not on the run with
out he can get some advantage or the race
is chuck one like that with Dobbins. A
start at the crack of revolver is the only
correct way to begin race. Such tiascoes
only tend to degrade a contest, which prop
erly conducted, is full of interest to great
many,-Albany Democrat. 49,

THANKSGIVING, 1889,

To most of the citizens of these
United States the month of Novem-
ber is looked forward to with more
eagerness and delight than any other
of the twelve that constitute year,
and in this month there is one day
which is, probably, welcomed with
more true earnestness than all Of the
rest together. That day is always the
last Thursday IN the month and deslg-
mated as Thanksgiving day. With the
approaching of this occasion finds the
sturdy farmer all through with his har-
vesting of the crops which only few
months before were just sprouting
from the. seed that he had so carefully
sown, his Iarder is filed from top to
bottom with the good things to feast
the inner man upon during the long
winter time that is fast approaching,
and his stock is well cared for by hav-
ing the necessary amount OF fodder
slowed away in the recesses Of their
large and comfortable quarters, his
purse shows off nicely with the earn
ings of the harves. time and he has
nothing more to do, excepting the reg
ular chores, until another spring and
summer season bursts ferth-should
he not be thankful2
The ever-thoughtful business man
of the city who has toiled day after
day for the past year and, if he is
judicious in his expenditures, has laid
by something for rainy day, he, too,
needs a day to offer thanks for what
has been bestowed on him and his
family that gather around his freside-
This nation, as great as the United
States of America is, owes its origin to
1O2 persons who landed on the shores
of New England in 1920, after having
become too heavily loaded down with
the oppression and bitterness Of a
monarchal government. By their first
movements was laid the foundation of
what now constitutes government of
forty-two states and four territories
within whose borders over 30, ,OOO, 900
of souls are breathing the life of a
free-born people; is it not bat tast that
one day In the year should be observed
as one on which to offer thanks and
praise to those noble Puritanic people2
What more firing time could be
selected than in these latter days Of
November Thanksgiving day should
be generally observed all over this
land. Every true American should
give himself up to time for prayer
and ch,istian-like reflection either at
his church or his own 6reside. Every
member of his family should look
upon the occasion as one in which
nothing but pure and happy thoughts
are allowed to prevail. They should
gather around the festive board and,
with the friends who might be called
in to assist, partake of the grandest
feast of the year Happiness should
reign supreme.
| Christmas IS a day observed in
honor of the birth of our Saviour,
Jesus Christ; it belongs to the whole
world. Thanksgiving" IS purely an
United States of America occasion ;
let every patriotic citizen observe it.
