NOT A CANDIDATE.

A friend who interviewed State Supt
McElroy, while in. our city last week,
found that he is not candidate for gov
ernor, although the wish has been ex-
pressed by many of his friends here that
he would permit his name to be used in
that connection. Mr.. McE1roy stated
explicitly that he could not afford to be
candidate for the Office of governor for
the reason that, in his opinion, since the
state pays so small a salary, it is necessary
that some man with considerable money
be nominated who will be willing and
generous enough to use it in behalf of
the state, although he may expect no re-
turn therefor. Mr.. McElroy states that
he is not financially able to become a
candidate for such an Office and could
not think of the same for moment, al
though he expressed himself as very
much impressed with the kindness and
courtesy expressed by his old neighbors
and friends in this connection.

QUAIL PROPAGATION,

George Waggoner purchased fifteen beau.
tiful specimens of the Oregon quail and has
placed them in his poultry park with the
view OF propagation. This bird is one which
the average hunter fails to kill as readily az
most wild game birds, owing to the fact that
it usually haunts the thicket and seldom is
found on clear ground, and will not stand
the work of dogs. The Oregon quail is per-
haps the handsomest specimen of the quail
family, it being dark drab and clothed
with feathers of variegated colors. Together
with the twelve Denny pheasants the col
lection Of Mr. Waggoner is one of consid-
cradle interest and if his success with the
quail is equal to that of the pheasant he may
well feel assured that his efforts have not
been in vain.

TWO THANKSGIVINGS.
The Difference Split and First
Exercises Held Last
Sunday.

Owing to conflict of authority as to
which was which and what was what there
were, 1t will be remembered, two proclama-
tions issued setting forth the days upon
which the people of this great state should
offer thanks unto the Giver of all good and
gracious gifts for the manifold blessings we
as a nation and mmonwealth are per
mitted to enjoy, the first one having been
promulgated by the notorious gubernatorial
ruler of this webfoot Jurisdiction, followed
by the mighty he who holds the silken
reins of power over the broad expanse
known to the civilized world and to Hawaii
as the United States. Sylvester fired the
first gun and named Thursday, November
p, as the day which should be celebrated in
keeping with the command "Give thanks!"
but for some reason or other his dictum was
IGNORED and those who are naturally thank
full in disposition satisfied their desires by

strains of Crock of Ages filled the room
in manner that spoke well for the musical

numbers were recitations by Agnes Weber
and Mildred Johnson, young misses of per-
haps ten years of age, each of whom ac-
quilted herself creditably. ''Come unto
Him and He will give you rest" was an in
teresting tenor solo by John Fulton, whose
rich rendition of that beautiful song waa
feature OF the evening. Miss Etfie Handy
then favored the audience with recitation,
and Mr.. Will BIoss sang ''The Curfew' as it
has not been sung IN this town before. The
song "GatAering in the Sheaves" by the au-
dience was then superseded by short adj
dress by Dr. J. NJ. Bloss, who prefaced his
remarks with the statement that all Presby
terian churches throughout the land were
observing similar exercises on this day. He
stated that in the year 1921, one year after
the landing of the pilgrim fathers, day
for thanksgiving was established and OBJ
served yearly from time to time, and that

UNION SERVICES.
In the Presbyterian church yesterday a
union thanksgiving service was held by all
the denominations in the city, and the au
ditorum was psopled with the substan-
tial people of Corvallis. Rev. Moses, of
the M. e. church south, preached the ser
mon and illustrated in his inimical way the
many reasons why Americans should give
thanks on this national holiday. All the
ministers of tine city were present and con-
tributed their mite towards making the
event worthy of the occasion. Owing to
the inclemncy of the weather the attend
ance was not so large as might have been
expected, yet the program was replete
with much that was of interest-especially
the music, which was pronounced yery
fine. .-.. .....-
