Thanksgiving In the South.


Speaking of Thanksgiving it is pity
that it is not more generally observed at
the south than 1t is. We excuse our
selves by saying that Christmas takes its
place, but it does not; the associations of
that day are-or should be-of more
spiritual nature than gratitude for the
supply of our temporal wants during
the year. OF course there are church
sery,ces-very slimly attended-and it
is legal holiday, SO that business is
generally suspended.
We might take hint from the Puri-
tan custom of making it a day of fam
lily reunions without doing much vio-
lence to the memory of our cavalier
ancestors. A few congregations have
of late years converted it into kind of

THE CHRONICLE has undertaken the
work of procuring, from the merchants
and capitalists of this city and county, a
generous list OF special premiums to be
given for agricultural and other exhibits
at the coming district fair As soon as
the list is complete it will be published.
The liheralresponse which THE CHRoN-
IcLE has already met with in talking
the matter up among The Dalles mer-
chants, gives assurance that go far as
premiums for exhibits are concerned the
farmers will have no ground for excuse
this year for not doing their best to make
the fair worthy OF the magnificent resour-
ces of this district. The premiums, so
far as we are able to report at this writ
ing, will consist OF such things as valua-
Bile agricultural implements, carts, har-
ness, saddles, cooking stoves, groceries,
dry goods, clothing, articles of household
furniture. and many others both useful
and ornamental. The people may be
well assured that all or any of these
premiums will be well worth contendine
for; and, SO far as we can Judge.
there will be plenty of them, and they
will be distributed so as to cover
every worthy exhibit to be made. It
will be understood that these premiums
are all additional to the cash premiums,
same as last year, which are given by
the state. Now let the farmers look out
for their best samples of grain and veg
etables, the orchardists their best sam
pies OF fruit, the stock men their best
specimens of domestic animals, the
women their best samples OF butter,
jams, jeilies, needle work, enbroideries,
etc. etc, and if THE CHRONICLE does not
surprise you with a list of special prem
iums, we greatly miss our guess.

ABoUr THE PEOPLES BOATS.


The following letter, which appears
in this weeks issue of the Klickitat
Leader, scarcely requires an explanation
to make it ineligible. The evident
friendliness of the writer to the peoples
boats deserves Il courteous answer. Still
it appears like trying TO prove that the
sun shines to try and prove that The
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Naviga-
tion company has not sold ont. The
company has not sold out to anybody
and, what is more, the boats are not for
sale. No proposition of sale was ever
made to the company and no PROPOSE
tion, no matter what the consideration.
would be entertained for q moment or
passed upoE without being submitted to
the people. Not only has a proposition
OF sale never been made but no PROPOSE
stion is ever likely to be made The
boats were put on the river by men who
never expected to reap dollar, directly
by the enterprise, and they were put on
TO stay, and they wiE stay.
AtSthe time the boat company was
compelled to stop making through con-
nectionit had 600 tons of freight in
sight. and was on the eve of having
more business to do than it could possi-
bly, manage. The Dales City stopped
when the captain gave it as his opinion
that the boat could not safely make the
landing ut the Cascades. A council of
steamboat captains, held in Portland,
confirmed Captain Stout's judge
Anent. The company could have got a
captain to undertake the command, but
they feared the risk, holding as one of
the directors said to the writer, that it |
was better to have to tie up till August
next than lose $4,000 boat. Ut |
should be known that no insurance cani
be procured against marine risk, on |
river cratic Efforts were made to find |
Il landing below the rapids, Intending to
transfer freight by wagons, but the |
scheme was considered impracticable.
1t was too late for this seasons trade |
to commence to build boat, staunch !
enough, and there was nothing left for |
the company but a reluctant and most |
annoying tie up. Just as soon, however,
as the water is again low enough to
make it safe, traffic will be resumed, and |
when it is resumed it will stop for moth
ing less than winter freeze up. The |
company will see to it. that they are
amply prepared for any stage of water
next year.

Letter to the klsiolI,at Leader.

Editor Klickitat Leader: l see in
your last weeks issue an article entitled
The Peoples Boat, and do not know
whether this able piece was written by
the editor or by some one for the new
company. If it was written by the lat
ter it is u false Misrepresentation, for
the future ut least, for the old enemy,
the Union Pacific, bought the Regulator
ssome two months ago, or at least this is
the general belief on the river. The
facts, as near as your correspondent can
learn them, is that the new company
sold to the U. p. with the understand
ing that they were not to raise freight
rates from the new company's late
charges. 1t will be very easy for them
to tie up the new boat and start the old
Baker ond charge the same old rate that
we have groaned under for the last ten
years. Now we do not give this as facts,
but we believe it is, and all the settlers
along the river believe it as web.

needless to say, however, that such thickness
is not suitable for service in stoves and furnaces
The mica is generally split into plates varying
from about one eighth to one-sixty- fourth Of

plates for market, the first step is TO cut them
